## **Synopsis**

On the roof of the mall, Helen Cullen's funeral is held. Felix Quarterman says a few words, promising that they were going to kill the man who did this. The group discusses what should be done with the body, and it's decided that the best thing is to burn it. Felix walks away, unable to watch it. As William Reynes prepares to burn the body, Erin Monroe brings up the idea that they'll need a new leader. Felix is brought up as the possible new leader, but not until they hunt down the clown and kill him. The rest of the group pay their final respects to Helen before William burns the body.

Wilbur Wright sits in the Yucatan Casino office, trying to phone Jon Matthews. Jon doesn't pick up, which leads him to believe he may have been killed. Wilbur scrolls through the contacts in his phone, swiping past his other criminal associates including Quincy, [[Monica Reynolds|Monica], and Curtis. After his phone service goes out, Wilbur gives up. Da'Jonte Woodard, standing nearby, finally speaks up, admitting that he also thinks Jon is dead. Wilbur takes a seat, telling Woodard that they'd wait a few more minutes to see if Jon returns.

In the security room office, Felix sits down, scanning through the cameras. After something catches his eye, he heads out into the main hall, asking Robert Morgan to bring everybody here. Robert first gets Albert Hanson from the waiting room, then retrieves William, Randall Forster, and Clayton Freeman from the roof. Jacob Feldman and Erin wait in the mall hall as the others all arrive one after the other. Once everybody has arrived, Felix explains to them all that he saw a couple of guys in the Yucatan Casino, a pile of guns with them. William steps up and says he'll go to check it out, taking a radio to keep in contact with Felix. Albert and Clayton go with him. Once armed, the three men begin their ascent to the roof. After they've left, Jacob and Erin get up and leave the security room together, planning to go find somewhere nice to relax.

William, Albert, and Clayton make it to the Paradise Plaza and slice through a few zombies on their way to the Casino Plaza. At the Casino Plaza, they discover the Yucatan Casino to be completely surrounded. With no other way inside, the three guys begin clearing the horde, hacking and slashing away at zombie after zombie. They eventually find an opening and rush inside the casino.

In the Yucatan Casino office, Wilbur and Da'Jonte are getting ready to fight their way out of the mall, no longer able to wait for Jon. That's when they notice three men entering the casino, a horde of zombies following them. Wilbur and Da'Jonte step out with their guns and unload on the horde, clearing most of them in no time. After, Wilbur directs his attention to the three men: William, Albert, and Clayton. William admits that they saw them over the cameras and want to get some of their guns to fight off a killer clown. Wilbur is willing to hand them some of their weapons, but only if they go to the basement of the mall to search for their associate, Jon, as well as to retrieve an important briefcase that Jon is looking for. They agree to it, and Da'Jonte accompanies them.

The group travels through the Casino Plaza and Paradise Plaza before making it outside into Leisure Park. They dispatch a small horde of zombies in their way before coming across the doors to the basement. William rushes down first, the other three following him.

In the basement, the group runs into Jon Matthews, alive and well, but hiding behind cover. He beckons them over, stating that there were others down here stopping him from getting to the briefcase. They quickly find cover as Jon pops out of cover, blasting a man in the head with his rifle. William asks Clayton for a pistol, intending to help out, but Jon threatens to shoot them if they hold a gun in his presence. After Jon takes care of the last two bandits by himself, he turns to William and the group, wondering why they're here with Da'Jonte. William informs him on Wilbur's deal, and Jon reluctantly allows them to come with him.

They travel through the basement, finding themselves in an underground storage warehouse. After clearing a few zombies, Jon comes across a dead man who he recognizes as "Charlie". Up ahead, the briefcase Jon sees the briefcase he's after. As he goes to pick it up, a zombie suddenly lunges at William, causing him to fall back into a shelf. The rest of the shelves fall over like dominos, alerting a giant horde of zombies nearby. As they try returning back the way they came, Jon's flashlight shuts off, leaving them in the pitch black. Everybody gets separated in the darkness, fighting off zombies by themselves. Jon goes ahead, sticking to a wall until he finds the door that they entered from. He yells for the others to follow his voice. They do, and all barely make it out of the storage warehouse alive.

Jacob and Erin stroll through Al Fresca Plaza talking about Edward and where he could be. Erin then brings up Helen, asking how Jacob was handling everything. Jacob admits that he's not doing great, saying that Helen was the one who held the group together. As they continue walking, Jacob notices something ahead in the food court - Edward Remar. He rushes ahead, Erin following suit.

Jon and crew walk through the basement, climbing back out into Leisure Park. They begin making their way back to the Yucatan Casino.

Jacob sprints into the food court, looking on at Edward, who's still on the hunt for the clown. As he's talking about where the clown could possibly be, they all suddenly hear a door open nearby. A gunshot is then fired next to them - the snipers. Jacob tells Erin that they should go, but Edward instead asks them for a favour: to fire at the snipers with his shotgun, distracting them. Edward limps off, flaking the snipers. Jacob hesitantly goes along with Edward's plan and fires the shotgun at the two snipers until it runs out of ammo. Occupied by Jacob, Edward is able to sneak around and attack the snipers from behind. He dives onto Roger Hall, putting a knife to his throat. When Michael Hall refuses to give into Edward's demands, Edward stabs Roger and throws the knife at Michael. Believing his son to be dead, Michael runs off before he's killed himself, dropping his sniper. After Michael is gone, Edward approaches an injured Roger, who's begging for mercy. Jacob and Erin take their chance to leave the food court, heading back for Al Fresca Plaza. Edward grabs Roger and begins dragging him away.

Jon and the group finally make it back to the Yucatan Casino, Jon informing Wilbur about what had happened. Wilbur holds up his side of the deal, giving William, Albert, and Clayton six guns in total, as well as plenty of ammo. Wilbur and his two criminal associates say their farewells to them and say that they'll be leaving the mall. After collecting the guns, William leaves with Albert and Clayton.

After fighting through the different plazas, the three return to the security room with the guns. They enter the waiting room, showing off to Felix the weapons they were able to get. Felix nods, happy to see that it was a success.

In the Al Fresca Plaza, Jacob and Erin catch their breath, talking about how the snipers should no longer be a threat to them. Erin looks over at the pharmacy, before deciding to go inside to clear it of any supplies that may be left. Jacob stays outside while she does this. As he sits there, Jacob hears a noise. He spins around, looking for what it could be. Suddenly, he's grabbed by Skittles the Clown and knocked out. Skittles drags him away.

Back at the security room, Randall comes sprinting into the waiting room, yelling at them that they've got a problem. Without question, Albert and Clayton jump up and follow him out into the Entrance Plaza. There, they find nothing. Randall looks around, dumbstruck. Seemingly out of nowhere, five hooded people armed with knives charge at them. Albert is knocked out cold while two two former cops battle the hooded men. They manage to kill all five men, but not without sustaining minor stab wounds. Randall removes the hood from one of the men, not recognizing him.

Erin comes out of the pharmacy, finding Jacob to be missing. She frantically looks around for him, but is unable to find anything. She rushes off towards the security room.

In the Entrance Plaza, Erin arrives, out of breath, muttering out that Jacob was taken. She barges into the security room and finds Felix, who's already aware that Jacob was taken, he was watching the cameras. Randall enters the security room, taking a seat. Clayton walks in, setting an unconscious Albert down into one of the chairs. Felix tries to calm Erin down, explaining to her that Skittles would have killed Jacob already if he wanted to. Erin doesn't listen to him though, and takes off running towards Wonderland Plaza. With no choice, Felix and Clayton follow behind. They pick up William on their way out, and together, continue chasing after Erin.

As they all run through the plazas, Erin eventually comes to a halt in the food court. Ahead of her, a horde of zombies that were reaching up at something in the air - Roger Hall, hogtied to the ceiling. Felix and the others come rushing in behind her and look on at Roger. Edward gestures for them all to climb onto the bench, staying up high away from the zombies. Edward, standing up high on the roof of one of the restaurants, holds a rope that he uses to slowly lower Roger closer to the zombies below him. Roger yells and begs for mercy to no avail. Edward fully lowers Roger into the horde below, and he is torn apart. After, Edward safely climbs down and hands off one of the snipers to William as a gift, keeping the other for himself. Erin then takes off into Wonderland Plaza, the others, including Edward, following.

In the Wonderland Plaza, Jacob is seen passed out in one of the activated rides, zooming past them every few seconds. As Erin looks on in shock, Skittles jumps out from behind cover on the second floor with an AK-47, opening fire. Edward is immediately hit twice, but saved from a third shot to the head by Erin, who brings him behind cover. Skittles tosses an explosive at them, forcing many people out of cover. William is shot in the leg. As Skittles stands, exposed, he suddenly gets shot by William, and then Clayton. The clown falls down the stairs, unable to get back up. William limps into the control room, shutting off the ride, and getting Skittles' chainsaw. He hands it off to a bloodthirsty Felix, who switches on the chainsaw and approaches Skittles. As Skittles laughs, Felix begins slicing him in half with the chainsaw. Skittles is quickly killed, but Felix keeps going, removing all of the clown's limbs. As Erin treats Edward's injuries, Jacob stumbles out of the ride, having just woken up. He reunites with Erin, who kisses him on the cheek. After Felix finally finishes with Skittles, he gets up and joins the others. The group help up their wounded, mainly Edward, and begin heading back to the security room.
