## Synopsis

August and Roger are discussing how the events from the night before will affect morality in the group. Bill attempts to break the tension with a joke but it doesn’t really work. It really doesn’t help when Santos walks in to confront August about the situation. August is quick to fire at him before he bullshits them but Santos’ argument isn’t about the girl turning, it’s bringing in that many “infected” people and risking everyone else. Bill chimes in again, a bit loopy from the hallucination, and tries to calm them down by letting them know he’s been bitten six times and is fine. This intrigues August but his focus is still to bad mouth Santos and sends him away. Once he leaves, August has Roger zip tie the others to the beds just in case. As they get to Jocelyn, she sits up and attempts to slap August but he catches her hand. She’s considerably upset with them, having been listening to the whole confrontation. August explains that it’s his fault because he believes he messed up patching her up. She for the most part forgives them. August calls Karen and Ellie in to discuss the next steps. Karen gets down the information and leaves to prep the new arrivals. August asks Ellie to catch up anyone else who doesn’t know about the new people and asks Jocelyn what her plan is. She intends to stay and help but only if she can keep her patient, Lizzie, on ice. August agrees.

A few hours later, Bill and Jocelyn’s fevers break and Locke has woken up and broken his as well. The only person still unconscious is Ty which is a bit concerning. Locke is a bit excessive on asking to be untied and has a minor panic attack until they release him. Bill gets to his bike and pulls out a radio to contact a Mr. Crenshaw about meeting him in Montreal with ammo and GHB. The man confirms and Bill heads out. Jocelyn approaches Santos and asks his opinion on the Zoo as a whole and he once again turns the conversation to August being a problem. She convinces him to confront the leader again and she goes with him. August and Roger are still attempting to calm down Locke by releasing him. Jocelyn and Santos arrive but the immediate hostility sends Santos out looking for Bill instead. Lexi appears and Locke immediately has a thing for her. She is also interested and brings him on a “tour” of the zoo. Bill arrives at his meeting and has a conversation with his contact. They make a deal that Bill brings him Santos for… something. Crenshaw flexes his power by revealing his “trained” Zedded Wolves. He gives him one week to comply.

Bill returns to the Zoo and is confronted by Ellie who requests where he’s been. He shows her a duffle bag of liquor. She lets him in and asks him to just warn someone next time he leaves and suggests he have at least one other person with him. He complies. August finds Locke who is ecstatic about his day but makes it known he was not being careful at all. This is concerning. Bill finds Santos and offers him a drink and a chat. He also leaves some booze in the med bay and security room for the others to indulge. They go for a stroll around the park, drinking. As they are discussing the uses of the zoo as a whole Santos passes out mid-walk. Bill takes this time to set up a “Crime Scene” and departs. Ellie watches on from the wall.

August speaks with Karen about potentially throwing a party to help everyone unwind. She is not thrilled with the idea but will go along with it. He is then caught up to by Lexi who asks to plan the party so she can be useful. He isn’t against the idea and also finds out from her that Locke may have exaggerated their experience. Meanwhile, Locke is very drunk and attempts to wake up Ty with slaps. Roger slams him against the wall and attempts to stop him with a punch. Jocelyn splits them up but Locke pulls out a knife and holds it to Ty. Roger attempts to calm him down but fails and Jocelyn shoots Locke to stop him. The gunshot alerts August who rushes over to see what happened. Roger checks Ty’s vitals and determines he isn’t waking up anytime soon. Jocelyn attempts to stab Locke but he turns and lunges. August pulls out his shotgun and fires but Jocelyn gets in the way and he accidently takes her head off instead. The Zedded Locke bites into Ty on the bed and August puts both of them down as well. Across the room, Elizabeth thanks them for what just happened.
