## Summary

*Three months after the start of the outbreak, Lee Everett continues to survive in a world not kind to survivors. Now, with a group to take care of and food at a premium, will he find the means to keep them safe and fed?*

## Plot

"Starved For Help" begins three months after the conclusion of the first episode. The situation has gotten even more dire for the group of survivors. The food is gone. The electricity is gone. The tensions in the group are rising, and there is no end in sight.

The episode opens with Lee and a man named Mark out in the woods attempting to hunt for some food. Along the way, they hear someone screaming and run to investigate, believing it to be Kenny. They find a group of three people in desperate need of help; David Parker, who is caught in a bear trap; and two teenagers struggling to get him out. Kenny arrives, and everyone frantically tries to decide what to do next. Soon enough, the walkers hear the screams and, and the group is faced with the problem of how to free David. After checking the bear trap itself and finding out that it is been tampered with to not have a release latch, Lee takes the axe he has with him and tries to make a quick decision. Lee trys to open the trap but is unsuccesful.

Lee chooses to chop David's leg off. He passes out from the pain and blood loss, so Mark carries him with back to the motel on his shoulders. One of the teenagers, Travis, is utterly revolted by the sight of David's detached leg, and is too sickened to notice a walker sneaking up behind him. Lee prevents Ben Paul from going back for his friend, leaving Travis to be eaten alive, much to Ben's horror.

Once the group returns to the Travelier Motel, Larry and his daughter are upset to see that Lee has brought back even more mouths to feed. Lilly, who seems to have become the de-facto leader of the group, has already been pushed to her limits trying to ration out what little food remains and snaps at Lee for bringing back the two survivors. Kenny and Lilly argue, and Kenny states the group is not Lilly's personal dictatorship. Lee sides with Kenny, and supports him for his choice. Lilly gives Lee the day's rations, outright demanding him, and leaves it up to him to decide who to give them to.

Lee has been given four pieces of food (two packets of cheese and crackers, a piece of beef jerky and half an apple) to distribute out to ten people. First he talks to Clementine and asks her about her hat which she had lost; later on agreeing to help find her hat. He decides to give the apple to her and also attempts to feed Kenny, but he refuses to take anything until Duck is fed. Lee gives Duck cheese and crackers and attempts to give some beef jerky to Carley, who tells him to keep it for himself and Clementine in case if they needed it. She tells him that she knows she said it didn't matter why he saved her instead of Doug, but Lee cuts her off, telling her that she doesn't owe him anything. He asks her for advice on whom to feed, with her saying that the best choices would be Kenny's family and, if he wants to make peace with Lilly, Larry. He ultimately hands out the last two pieces of food to Kenny and Mark.

Lee gives his axe to Mark to help build the wall and fortify their position at the motel. He is yelled at by Larry for not giving him any food.

Lee focuses on the injured David, who is being tended to by Katjaa. She tells Lee that she has done all she can but he has passed away. Just as Lee begins to say that it is a shame but at least there is one less person to worry about, David reanimates and tries to attack Katjaa. Lee saves Katjaa and then struggles with the zombie himself for a bit. After a short struggle, Carley dispatches the newly reanimated zombie with a gunshot to the head.

The group turns to Ben, the other surviving teenager, and asks him why he did not let anyone know that his friend had been bitten. Ben insists that he was not bitten and realizes that the new group does not know the truth behind how humans are turned into walkers, everyone is already infected; a bite isn't required to turn.

Shortly after this realization, two other survivors, brothers Andrew and Danny St. John, arrive looking for gasoline. They tell the group that they own a dairy farm, and are willing to trade food for gas to keep their generators running. Most of the group wants to head to the farm to check it out, but Lee disagrees. They hold a vote, which results in a unanimous 7 to 1 defeat for Lee. Afterwards, Ben, Carley, Lee, and Mark travel with the brothers to the dairy.

Along the way, Lee reveals to Carley that Larry knows about his past. She in turn tells him that she belives he is the one who should lead the group. The motel survivors and the St. John brothers then see and hide from a couple of bandits. The bandits argue and yell at one another over food, till one pulls out his weapon and shoots, killing the other bandit. The bandit still standing walks away from the corpse, and the group comes out of hiding and keeps moving to the farm.

At the dairy farm the group meets Andrew and Danny's mother, Brenda St. John. She welcomes the group and gives them a basket of biscuits. When hearing Brenda say the St. John's last cow isn't doing too well, Mark says that they have a veterinarian within the group, and that everyone is extremely hungry. Brenda says they should bring the whole group over to the farm and have a big dinner. The group agrees and sends Carley and Ben to get the others, with the basket of food.

Andrew asks for Mark and Lee to clear the electric fence, that surrounds the farm, of walkers, who have fused in with the fence, while he fills the generators that power the fence with fuel. Mark and Lee walk along the fence pushing, and in some cases, chopping, the dead off of the electrical wire. They then stumble along a couple of posts that are knocked down. Mark and Lee hop over the fence, and set the posts back up. At that moment, the fence turns on, leaving the two survivors outside of the farm. Several seconds later, Mark is struck in the shoulder by an arrow.

Bandits, who claim to have been cheated of food, open fire with their crossbows, while Mark and Lee hide behind a tractor. Lee gets it to move and the two use it as mobile cover, until they reach the gate. They run for the farmhouse, and the bandits back off. Lee talks to Andrew about the bandits while Brenda takes Mark inside to patch him up. The motel group, minus Carley and Ben who stayed behind to watch the motor inn, arrives and sees the mess, and Lilly believes the farm is unsafe. Andrew states that the bandits and St. John's had a deal, and that as long as they provided food, the bandits would leave the farm alone. He says that the bandits have broken the truce, and that Lee and Danny should try and find where the bandits are sleeping. Andrew also reveals that he fixed the farm's old swing so Clementine and Duck can play on it.

Lee and Danny make their way into the woods, and after a short while, find a small camp. Danny checks the only tent while Lee checks the supplies. Lee finds all the boxes empty, and tells Danny some are from the farm. Danny says the bandits probably stole them. A few moments later Lee finds a video recorder, which Danny tells Lee to let him see it. Lee states that the batteries are dead and not to worry about it. Lee then checks the tent, in which he finds two sleeping bags, one kid sized, inside the tent. He then finds Clementine's hat, after which a woman, by the name of Jolene, sneaks into the bandit's camp. She tells the two men to drop their weapons, or she will shoot.

Lee tells Jolene that if she drops her weapon she can come to the farm with them, but she warns him that it's safer in the woods. Before she can say anything else, she is shot and killed by Danny, however. Once arriving back at the dairy, Danny tells Brenda that nothing happened. Kenny and Lilly begin to fight about something, unknown to Lee. Lee then talks to Lilly and she exclaims that Kenny was suspicious of a room in the barn. Lilly thinks that they should just take their dinner and then leave. Lee then enters the barn door to find Katjaa, Duck, Andrew, and Clementine around the farm's cow. Lee gives Clementine her hat back, asking her if anybody suspicious was around the motor inn. Clementine then denies this and says that Lee would make a good dad someday, thanking him for bringing her hat back to her. Upon inspection of the locked door in the barn, Kenny arrives and says that he thinks something is up on the other side of the door. Lee and Kenny both agree to find out a way to open the barn door, noticing that a screwdriver is needed to detach the lock mechanism.

Andrew notices this and exclaims to the two to not mess around with the door. Thinking that he needs to be distracted, Lee picks up a multi-tool from a toolbox and shuts off the generator. Andrew comes out of the barn, not knowing what happened, and tries to fix it. Upon arriving inside the barn with the multi-tool, the dinner bell rings. Everybody rushes to the farmhouse. Kenny exclaims that he will make an excuse for him if he can see what the other side of the barn door holds. Once he leaves, Lee pries the door.

Once he takes a look inside, Lee is shocked. The entire room is filled with blood and torture devices. Andrew sneaks up on him and exclaims that the devices were used to skin animals. Hungry, Lee refuses to argue and the two head to the house for dinner. Upon arriving inside the house, Andrew exclaims that a lone walker got into the house awhile ago and that the hallway is barricaded from that incident. With everybody at the dinner table waiting, Lee asks where the bathroom is. Brenda exclaims that it is down the hall.

Lee goes upstairs and finds many unusual items, such as a bottle of morphine and blood stains on the floor. He turns on a power switch, which lights up a room connected to the bedroom. The room is blocked by a set of bookshelves. He moves it and opens the door. To his shock, he finds Mark with his legs cut off in a pool of blood. Lee asks Mark what happened and Mark weakly replies that the brothers skinned his legs and that is what they are having for dinner. Lee rushes down into the dinner room, and sees everybody about to eat. He warns his group not to eat the food, with Clementine who was just about to eat, immediately dropping her fork. Larry stands up for Brenda, telling Lee that he should be grateful to her for feeding him, but he exclaims that the farm is a human slaughterhouse and that Mark is upstairs, legless. Not denying it, Brenda claims that while growing up in rural Georgia, they were taught to not waste a thing. Danny exclaims that Mark would have died anyway. Lee tells Kenny to grab his gun, but Andrew and Danny pull their weapons out and Andrew grabs Clementine by the hair. At this moment, Mark falls down the stairs and crawls all the way to the dinner table. Danny then butt-stroke Lee in the head, causing him to black out.

Lee awakens inside of a meat locker, with everyone except Duck and Katjaa. He asks Larry, who is pounding on the locked door, to calm down. Larry threatens to tell everyone who Lee really is, so Lee backs down. While trying to find a way out of the room, Larry has a heart attack over all the stress the situation has brought.

Lilly runs over and tries to revive her father, while Kenny believes that Larry is already dead, and in a moment, may return as walker. Lee agrees with Kenny and proceeds to pry Lilly away from Larry. Clementine cries, admitting she doesn't want to see. Kenny picks up a salt lick and smashes Larry's head in. Kenny and Lee try to console Lilly but she scolds them, declaring her hate of the two.

Kenny states that they need to hurry and get out of the room to save Katjaa and Duck. Lee, using coins from Larry's pocket, unscrews the air conditioner in the room, and sends Clementine through the vent. A few moments later she opens the door. Kenny and Lee leave while Clementine stays with Lilly to comfort her in mourning her father. Lee grabs a wrench from the skinning room, and they attempt to sneak up on Danny, who is guarding the barn. Andrew comes over and talks to Danny, so Lee and Kenny hide in a stall. Andrew tells Danny to bring all but one in to butcher and package as meat. Andrew leaves, and Danny pulls out a bear trap that looks similar to the one David was stuck in, and places it in front of the barn door.

When Lee peeks his head out to look, he finds himself staring down the barrel of Danny's rifle. Lee grabs it and moves it to the side, just as Danny shoots. Lee hits Danny once with his wrench, but the man recovers and knocks Lee down. Danny prepares to kill Lee only to suddenly be surprised by Kenny. He stabs the man with a pitchfork and knock him back to be caught in his own bear trap, detaining him. Kenny shouts to find out where his family is, but runs when he hears Katjaa scream. Lee grabs the pitchfork, and Danny tells him not to kill him, but keep him alive so they can eat him. Lee drives the pitchfork into a bale of hay next to Danny, angrily exclaiming "This is NOT how the world works now!" Clementine bears witness to this along with Lilly. Lilly will chastise Lee for killing her dad but not a cannibal.

Kenny runs out to try and find Katjaa and Duck, and Lee runs into Carley and Ben. Lee tells them the situation and says they should sneak around the back of the house while Lee takes the front. He then enters the house, and finds Brenda holding Katjaa hostage. He asks her questions, why it came to eating other human beings to survive, what would her husband think, and she backs up. Lee keeps walking slowly to her, seeing Mark, now a walker, upstairs, struggling with the railing. Brenda ends up walking back into Mark's outstretched arms, in which he pulls her towards him and takes a bite. Katjaa and Lee run outside to find Kenny, who is yelling at Andrew, who is holding Duck hostage. Kenny makes a move, but is shot in the side of his stomach. Carley shoots Andrew's ear. Stunned, he accidentally lets Duck go.

Lee rushes in and grabs for the gun. They wrestle and end up stumbling down a hill, both dazed by the fall. Andrew recovers first and kicks Lee in the face then activates the electric fence. He starts dragging Lee towards the fence, despite Lee resisting. Lee calls for the nearby Lilly to help him, but she refuses to do so, and Lee struggles to get himself free from Andrew. Either way, he is free from the cannibal's grip, quickly positioning himself on top of him.

Lee begins to savagely beat Andrew repeatedly in the face. After several punches, Andrew's face becomes heavily bruised and disfigured. Lee only stops once Carley convinces him to.

With Andrew detained, Lee starts walking away from the fight. Andrew, despite the harsh beating, forces himself to his feet and starts antagonizing Lee by saying that he "ain't shit", encouraging Lee to finish the fight.

Lee ignores Andrew's taunts and returns to the group, now consisting of Kenny, Katjaa, Duck, Clementine, Carley, Lilly, and Ben. Before leaving he tells the cannibal that neither Danny or Brenda will come to help him, much to his confusion. Andrew begins to breakdown in tears, now begging Lee to kill him. Clementine looks more neutral.

After this, the farm gets overrun with walkers. The motel group decides to head back to the motor inn, while Andrew continues to scream for Lee. On the way back, everyone is mainly quiet after the onslaught of things that happened back at the farm. Carley tells Lee that she's sorry she left the motor inn unprotected, but Lee rebuffs her, saying that if she wouldn't have been there to shoot Andy in the ear, he wouldn't be alive. She asks him if it's true that the St. Johns were eating people, which he confirms. He also tells her that he can't leave Clementine alone in this world. Carley then gives him the camera he found at Jolene's camp, saying that Katjaa found it among Lee's stuff in the house. He asks her if she wants it, after which she tells him to keep it, saying that it's good to document your thoughts from time to time. Kenny wants a word in private with Lee. He wants Lee and Clementine to come to the coast with his family. Clementine asks Lee if what he did was right back at the dairy, to which Lee assures her.

Duck then hears a noise. Everyone creeps up on the noise, to which they find an abandoned car. The car is full of food and supplies, to everyone's amazement. Clementine, Ben and Lilly agree that the food is not theirs. Lee then agrees with their decision. Katjaa finds a red hoodie in the car that looks to be Clementine's size. Clementine declines to wear it.

Carley finds batteries in one of the boxes, with Lee jokingly asking her if she'll be able to handle them. She asks him if he'll ever let her forget the battery incident from the pharmacy. Carley then gives them to Lee to use with the camcorder, and to Clementine to use with the walkie talkie. To their shock, the camcorder shows a video of Jolene filming the group's stay in the motor inn, particularly focusing on Clementine, saying that she needs a mother to look after her. It is assumed that this is reason why she took Clementine's hat. Jolene then says that the real danger in this new world is the humans, not the walkers, stating that as long as the bandits get food from the dairy (which is now overrun with zombies) Clementine will be safe. The bandits then find Jolene. She then addresses several of the bandits by name, cursing them and calling them, "rapist monsters", before the camera blacks out, ending the episode.
