## **Synopsis**

The survivors of the mall sleep through the night following the battle in the Entrance Plaza. In the morning, Jacob Feldman and William Reynes are catching up with each other, William still recovering from being shot. Jacob admits his involvement in robbing the gun store, which is overheard by Helen Cullen. She immediately proposes that they return the guns they stole in order to set things straight with the North Plaza survivors. Felix Quarterman and Randall Forster oppose this idea, but it doesn't matter to Helen, who states that they'll be returning the guns anyway. She decides that everybody will be heading out to return them, save for Felix and William. Dean Howards tries to get out of going, but is told that he'll only get the liquor he craves if he does this. Now that it's settled that they'll return the guns, the group votes for who they want to lead them out there. Although it's Jacob who receives the most votes, it's Clyde Rollins who chooses himself to lead.

Clyde takes his team out into the main hall of the security room and tries giving a motivating speech, but is practically met with silence from his crew. Helen steps out of the waiting room, handing Clyde a radio telling him not to lose it. While all of this is happening, Dean believes he's in a movie, only to come to the realization that this is real life right before the group heads out.

The group walks along the roof and takes the elevator down to the storage room. Dean goes on explaining who the criminals were to Randall while Erin Monroe tells Clyde how they're going to get to the North Plaza. They enter Paradise Plaza and begin moving through, taking on any zombies in their way. As they go, they briefly encounter Edward Remar, who is on the hunt for the remaining two snipers.

As they enter the Casino Plaza, Dean begins stumbling off towards the Americano Casino, wanting to get his liquor. Randall goes with him to watch his back. The others take a small break, Robert Morgan going into a bad coughing fit, but he continues to say it's just a flu.

In the Americano Casino, Randall takes care of a zombie while Dean searches for liquor. He manages to find a couple cases. Both men take one case and head back into Casino Plaza.

The group charges into the North Plaza expecting to find it full of zombies, however, they're surprised to find it completely clear. Jim Butterman and Kate Bloodstone come walking over, explaining that the plaza was now clear and safe for all survivors. Teddy Powell then shows up, demanding his weapons back. They hand them over, and Teddy accepts their apology, walking off to his gun store. Leslie Staunton is the next one to appear, putting on a fake smile and welcoming them back to the plaza. Among the many residents of the North Plaza is Jeffrey Cortez, who briefly interacts with the group, being recognized by Randall and Jacob. Helen radios Clyde, and after confirming that the guns were returned, suggests that the group do what they can to earn some back. Randall, Dean, and Albert Hanson head for the gun store to speak with Teddy.

At the gun store, Randall asks if they can do anything to earn some weapons. As they're discussing the possibilities of trading, Jeffrey enters, getting a shotgun from Teddy, and bumping into Dean on his way out. Teddy tells them that he'd be willing to trade a few weapons in return for liquor. Randall looks at Dean, before saying that they don't have any. However, when Clyde enters, and Helen checks in on them via the radio wondering what was happening, Randall admits that they do have liquor. Teddy is disappointed to find that he had already been lied to, but allows them to go collect their liquor and bring it back to trade.

In the security room, Helen and Felix sit in the office watching the cameras. Felix admits that without Helen, the entire group would fall apart, and he thanks her. Helen tells him that she is just doing what she has to do, and that she wouldn't feel right if she didn't look after the group. Felix stands, leaving the room to go get some rest.

Randall, Dean, Albert, and Clyde return to everybody out in the North Plaza and inform them of what the deal was. Jacob is pleased to hear this and suggests that they get going now. Before they leave, Helen radios Clyde once more, telling them all to return back to the security room. As she's about to tell them something else, loud banging is heard through the radio. Helen curses before the radio cuts off. Jacob snatches the radio from Clyde attempting to get Helen back on the radio to no avail. Panicking, Jacob takes off in a sprint intending to get back to the security room. While the others follow him, Clyde stays behind.

Jacob runs through the entire plaza, making it into the Wonderland Plaza before anybody else. As he's running, Michael Hall, one of the snipers, fires off a shot, cutting him off. Jacob and the others dive for cover. A vindictive Robert remains out of cover, screaming at the snipers. Roger Hall, the other sniper, shoots Robert in the chest. Albert rushes out of cover to save Robert, dragging him behind a bench. The group sit in cover, letting the snipers drain their ammo.

Back in the security room, Helen hears banging at the office door. She carefully goes to investigate, when Skittles the Clown suddenly comes charging in, kicking her to the floor. Helen fights back, stabbing the clown in his hand, but Skittles is easily able to overpower Helen, slashing at her with his chainsaw. In a last ditch effort, she slams Skittles into the wall, hitting his head repeatedly. Skittles shoves her back, and goes to push her eyes in with his thumbs as she screams. He then picks up his chainsaw and slices Helen's head off, before picking her head up and dumping it into the trash bin. Felix, who just woke up hearing all the racket, charges into the room, attacking Skittles. The clown is easily able to shove Felix back, chasing him into the hallway. Felix attempts to stab Skittles, but is stopped and stabbed in the gut himself. He weakly crawls out into the Entrance Plaza being followed by Skittles. As Skittles is about to throw Felix over the ledge, Edward shows up with his shotgun, and blasts Skittles, sending him tumbling over the railing. When Edward peers over the railing, he finds that Skittles was no longer there, but that he had left a blood trail behind. Deciding that he'll find the clown later, he helps Felix up and brings him back inside.

In Wonderland Plaza, Michael and Roger are running low on ammo, and ultimately decide that they'll come back to avenge Dexter Hall another time. With the snipers finally gone, Jacob and the group safely come out of cover. With Clyde no longer there, Jacob takes the lead, getting Albert and Randall to help Robert, keeping Dean close to Erin, and having Clayton Freeman keep watch behind the group.

As the group make their way into the food court, Erin splits off from the group to search the pharmacy for meds to save Robert. Everybody else continues into Leisure Park. While traveling through, they pass by the burnt out jeep from earlier. Jacob wonders why Clyde stayed behind, but nobody knows why.

William wakes up in the waiting room of the security room, finding it vacant and quiet. Feeling nervous, he gets up and stumbles into the main hall, finding pools of blood on the ground. William turns to a security cabinet on the wall, taking a hatchet from it before going inside the office. Inside, he finds Helen's corpse, along with the markings of a chainsaw on the floor. William doesn't believe what he's seeing, and picks up Helen's radio on the floor.

Jacob and the others move through Paradise Plaza, killing zombies. Jacob's radio suddenly buzzes - it's William, and he tells them that Helen's dead, more than likely by Skittles because of the chainsaw markings he saw. Hearing this, an angered Jacob turns off the radio and storms through the rest of the plaza. He and the others finally arrive in the Entrance Plaza and enter the security room. Jacob and Clayton rush inside the office, discovering the corpse for themselves.

William enters the waiting room, finding Edward and Felix. Edward confirms that it was Skittles who did this, before he leaves, letting William talk with Felix. Felix lays there, his stab wound already patched up by Owen Gliefield. He blames himself for letting Helen die, but William assures Quarterman that it isn't. Felix ignores William's words, continuing to believe Helen's death to be his own fault. After William leaves, Owen perks his head up, saying the same thing that William said: it wasn't Felix's fault. Albert enters the room, informing Owen that Robert was in the other waiting room and in need of medical attention. Owen picks up what little medical supplies remain and heads into the neighbouring room.

William heads out into the main hall, finding Jacob sitting down, feeling guilty over Helen's death as well. Edward looks over, telling them all that he'll be leaving to follow Skittles’ blood trail and track him down. "If I find out where- I will return to you all. The kill is yours," he says before leaving. Erin returns to the security room, with a couple bags full of supplies. Jacob thanks her, taking her hand and telling her to consider staying with them now. She says she'll think about it before entering the second waiting room. Jacob turns to William, and the two begin chatting.

In the other waiting room, Owen begins treating Robert. Erin enters, dropping off all of the medical supplies she was able to obtain. Owen takes a look at it, and expresses how thankful he is and how much this will help.

In the supermarket, Leslie meets with Clyde. She sits down with him, beginning to ask questions about the security room survivors. Clyde admits that some of the survivors have no respect for the North Plaza, which goes against what he thinks. Leslie smiles, telling Clyde that she could use his help. As she pours Rollins a cup of tea, she asks to know about all about the survivors in the security room.
