## **Synopsis**

Just outside the stadium in the parking lot, Edward Remar sits next to Damerae Badrick's corpse, waiting. Benjamin Taylor comes walking over, letting Edward know that the group from the mall were here at the stadium. Looking up, Edward questions why Benjamin decided to come to the stadium, and Benjamin says it's because he couldn't stand around knowing that the group could all be dying. After Edward makes it clear that he was the one to kill Badrick, Benjamin says he hopes Edward feels satisfied, before walking back into the stadium.

On the pitch, Dean Howards, Randall Forster, and Clyde Rollins are catching up with the rest of the mall group, who they hadn't seen in days, or in Clyde's case, weeks. Randall questions how they ended up getting taken prisoner here, and Austin Kingston explains how they were led into a trap and tossed into a cell. Clyde wanders off to go look for Edward just as Benjamin is returning, who not only tells Clyde where he is, but also that Edward had killed Badrick. Dean, after all the trauma he endured because of Badrick, takes a moment to process the news, as does everyone else. Remaining on the pitch, Dean and Austin share their thoughts on alcohol--with Austin anxious to go search for some, whereas Dean has surpassed his addiction.

On the other side of the pitch, Jon Matthews has remained next to Angela Jaegar's corpse ever since the fight ended. Ed Anderson approaches him, reminiscing about how many times Angela saved his life before. When Jon doesn't respond, Ed says they can bury her whenever he's ready.

Outside the infirmary, Kate Bloodstone comforts Marcus Downes, who's still next to Fraser Stiller and Zac Barnes' corpses, a devastated look on his face. She says that they should bury them alongside Angela, and Marcus slowly nods.

Back out in the parking lot, Edward notices Badrick's corpse starting to twitch and growl; he had reanimated into a zombie. As Clyde comes walking up, he sees Edward using his knife to behead Badrick--but the zombified head was still moving around. Clyde asks Edward if he can come back inside. Edward agrees, but he picks up Badrick's head first, and says that "they deserve to see."

At the pitch, Marcus and Kate appear, dragging the bodies of Fraser and Zac. As the others are reacting to their deaths, Marcus and Kate set the bodies down off to the side. They approach Jon and ask if he's ready to bury Angela, and he slowly nods.

Towards the front entrance, Isaac Moses, Daniel Rockwell, and Aldus Paxton are dealing with zombies that were drawn to the stadium because of gunfire. However, even with their best efforts, their work proves to be futile as more and more zombies keep showing up. They're forced to retreat back inside and board up the front entrance for the time being.

Across town, Lloyd Waller is still sitting in Kyle Douglass' house. He glances at Kyle's corpse, before picking up his hatchet and heading outside, where the horde that was once there had mostly dispersed. He struggles to take down one wandering zombie, but kills a second one easily. As he marches down the street, he sees three zombies feasting down on something. After he kills all three of them with relative ease, he sees that what they were eating were the remains of Bernie Ortan. After saying sorry to his now unrecognizable friend, Lloyd continues down the street.

Back in the stadium, Jon, Marcus, and Austin are digging graves for their fallen companions. Across the field, Kate sits next to Alex Weiss, asking him if he was going to stay with them, and Alex says he will. Nearby, Edward appears onto the pitch with the zombified head of Badrick. As Austin and Dean are cautiously examining the head, Jared Kellings stumbles out of a nearby hallway; he'd been hiding the entire fight. When he sees Edward and Clyde, he immediately asks about Robin Clarke, to which Edward confirms his death. He also asks about Rebecca Dawson, and Kate tells him that she's in the infirmary. Before Jared can stroll off, Layton Zimmers happily walks over, thankful to see Jared alive. From over at the graves, Jon drops his shovel and storms over, asking Jared where he'd been during the fight, saying that she could have used his help. When Jared asks who she is, Jon throws a punch, then another, and a few more, beating Jared into the ground until Randall gets him to stop. Breathing heavily, Jon gets back to his feet and goes back to digging Angela's grave. Nobody bothers to help Jared up--except for Layton. Once at his feet, Jared is escorted by Layton to the infirmary, ignoring the comments made by Dean and Austin saying that he deserved the beating.

Jared and Layton enter the infirmary, seeing William Reynes sitting beside an unconscious Rebecca. After dropping off Jared, Layton makes his leave. Sitting on a bed, Jared tells William that it was "some guy" who beat him up, and William reckons that whoever it was, he deserved it. Disregarding William's question about where Jared was during the fight, Jared asks what happened to Rebecca. William replies by saying Jared might've known had he been fighting with them. When Jared remarks that she wouldn't be lying there if William had done a better job protecting her, William picks up a nearby scalpel and threatens to kill the man. Jared gets out of the bed, making snarky remarks as he finds his way out of the room.

Some time later, every member of the group, except for the unconscious Rebecca and missing Lolida Windfield, is gathered on the pitch for the funeral of Angela, Fraser, and Zac. Jared notably stands far from the rest of the group, rubbing his swollen face. As William paces to the front of the group, starting a speech, Jared walks off. William says that the three of them will be missed. Looking at Marcus, he points out how Fraser died a hero, saving Rebecca's life, which Marcus had not known. He then looks at Jon, mentioning how they probably wouldn't have even escaped if it weren't for Jon and Angela's escape plan. He ends his speech by telling everyone that soon they were going to find a place to settle down far from here. Marcus sighs and walks off, regretting having not been there to tell Fraser how proud he was of him.

After the funeral, Daniel goes up to William, congratulating him for his speech, before cutting to the chase and asking if Daniel, Lolida, and Isaac were going to be allowed to stay with them. William is happy to let them stay. Daniel thanks him before walking off to go search for Lolida. As he's leaving, he runs into Edward, who's still holding the zombified head of Badrick. Edward strolls up to William to present to him Badrick's head. William is grateful that Badrick is dead, and tells Edward that he should get some rest, before walking back to the infirmary. As Edward walks on, Benjamin makes his way over, who asks when Edward is going to get rid of the head. He points out how resistant Edward is to get rid of the head, and tells him that carrying it around won't make him feel any more satisfied about killing Badrick. After Edward says he is already satisfied, Benjamin corrects him by telling him that he wants to feel satisfied. As Benjamin walks off, Clyde makes his way over, having heard the entire conversation just then. He convinces Edward to sit down with him, and then starts talking about how dissatisfied Edward is. Edward is insistent that he feels fine. Speaking earnestly, Clyde says that he misses the Edward that--in his efforts--made Clyde a better person. He remarks about how sad he is to see Edward be consumed by vengeance, and asks him to let it go. Edward goes quiet for a second before he looks up and thanks Clyde. He drops Badrick's head and stomps on it, crushing the thing. Clyde and Edward then share a hug, before Edward limps off.

Near the entrance of the stadium, Kate finds Marcus standing by himself, still mourning the loss of Fraser and Zac. Doing her best to comfort him, Kate reminds him that they died fighting together--protecting Rebecca. She asks Marcus to just talk to her, but all Marcus says is that he needs to deal with this alone. He's upset that he wasn't there to help them, or even say goodbye. Still trying, Kate asks if there was any way she could help, and says she loves him. Marcus doesn't say it back, and asks to be left alone. Kate is left standing there as Marcus walks off.

In the infirmary, Rebecca finally wakes up, seeing William next to her. William, standing up quickly, tells her that the battle was over--but not without casualties. He explains to her about the three group members they lost. Rebecca frowns when she hears about Fraser and Zac; she hadn't even got the chance to thank them. Looking at William, she notices a bandage over his arm from where he got shot, but William tells her it's nothing to worry about. She then asks him what the plan is, and William admits that he listened to her advice and stepped up as the leader, and that he plans to leave the stadium as soon as possible. Rebecca smiles, telling him that Jacob Feldman would be proud. As William gets ready to leave to let Rebecca recuperate in peace, Rebecca reaches out to take his hand, asking for him to stay. William thinks for a second, before retaking his seat.
