## **Synopsis**

In Wonderland Plaza, Felix Quarterman wakes up bound to a chair. With him: Kate Bloodstone, Albert Hanson, and Sasha McMale. The four discuss their situation until their kidnapper enters the room: Skittles the Clown. Skittles laughs at and derides his hostages, especially towards Felix, before he leaves.

Jacob Feldman and William Reynes are sitting in the waiting room conversing about their fear of clowns and how they're going to get Felix back. Helen Cullen comes into the room and asks the survivors if they're willing to go and explore Wonderland Plaza. While Clayton Freeman is still recovering from his gunshot wound and cannot join, Jacob and William gather up their weapons and take a radio from Helen to keep in touch with her before heading out.

Jacob and William travel down to Paradise Plaza, where they beat down some zombies before running into Leisure Park. In the park, the two of them spot a jeep speeding around mercilessly gunning down innocent survivors. William is insistent on finding a new way to Wonderland Plaza, but a reckless Jacob runs ahead, stating that this is the quickest way. They end up being seen by the jeep and are shot at. After Jacob manages to shoot out one of the tires on the jeep, they just barely make it through into the Food Court unscathed. There, they run into Randall Forster fighting off zombies. They recognize him and tell him about the whereabouts of his partner, Clayton. Randall tells them about a clown he spotted in Wonderland Plaza, and after hearing that Jacob and William are hunting him, he agrees to help them take down the clown. With Helen's assistance in opening the shutters, they make it into Wonderland Plaza.

In Wonderland Plaza, Albert is explaining to Sasha, who just woke up, what's happening, when Felix suddenly points out the sound of voices below them. Skittles abruptly rushes into the room, cheerfully talking about new visitors in the plaza. He picks up two mini chainsaws before walking out.

Nearby, Jacob, William, and Randall have just entered the Plaza and are discussing the possible areas Felix could be being held in. Out of nowhere, Skittles pokes his head over the ledge from the second floor, laughing and showing off his chainsaws. Annoyed, Randall opens fire on the clown and chases after him. Skittles leads Randall into the room where he's keeping his hostages, where he then gets the jump on the officer. William dashes in just in time to attack the clown. Randall goes in to spear the clown, but is forced to move at the last second and ends up falling into the rollercoaster that's rolling by. William is left alone with the clown, Jacob having to deal with the zombies. After Skittles mistakenly destroys the operating machine which turns off the coaster, he flees. Jacob unties all of the hostages and Randall climbs out of the ride, dizzy. Realizing they don't have much time to escape with the ride no longer distracting the zombies, they radio Helen to help. She suggests that they head into the North Plaza where there's a trader running the supermarket. Although Felix is angered by not returning to the security room immediately, the group follow Helen's advice.

On the way to the North Plaza, the survivors share names. Felix vanishes from the group for a minute before returning with a handful of weapons he had collected from a workshop. Everybody gratefully takes a weapon, except for Kate, who isn't comfortable with having one yet.

The group make their way through to the North Plaza where it's far more clear of the undead. After arriving at the supermarket, Jim Butterman sticks his head out of a hatch asking if they'd like to apply for a membership to be let inside. However, with zombies enclosing in on them, and Felix demanding the doors to be opened, Jim lets them in without one.

Inside, they find it to be peaceful with a few other survivors inside. Jacob and William are surprised to see Erin Monroe among them. She and Jim explain to them that they have a trading system set in place here and at the gun store also in the North Plaza. William gets down to brass tacks, telling the two of them about their situation with the horde of zombies blocking their way back to the security room. Jim is happy to allow them to stay here for as long as they need to. The group are then introduced to Leslie Staunton, the woman in charge of the North Plaza operations. She believes in running a fair system until they're rescued by the military. Some of the survivors explore the store, taking name tags and wearing them to show that they have a membership. After briefly chatting with Jacob, Erin heads off, saying that she'd join up with them in the future. Jacob approaches Jim after and asks if they could check out the previously mentioned gun store. Jim points them in the direction of it, but warns that it's dangerous. Jacob, William, Randall, Albert, and Sasha are willing to take that risk though, and venture back out into the North Plaza.

On their way to the gun store, they discover some shutters blocking them off. Helen informs them that she can't open those ones from where she is, and that it'll need to be lifted manually. As zombies begin to close in on them, they begin lifting the shutters. During everything, Albert is separated by some of the zombies and runs off. The rest of them manage to open up the shutters and run through in the nick of time. They aren't out of the clear yet though, and are constantly attacked by zombies while fighting their way through to the gun store. Jacob, William, and Randall continued battering through zombies, but aren't making much progress. Jacob ends up on his own after being surrounded by a sea of zombies. William attempts to save his friend, but Jacob yells for him to go, and he does.

William, Randall, and Sasha eventually make it to the gun store where they meet Teddy Powell, the owner. Hearing their story, Teddy tells them that they can stay here until the horde of zombies dies down. William tries to suggest using gasoline to clear the horde, but Teddy is quick to shut down the idea as it would risk burning down the entire area.

Back out in the North Plaza, Jacob smacks a few zombies with his bat while desperately trying to escape the horde. He eventually reaches a set of shutters that blocks him. With nowhere else to go, Jacob is ready to accept his fate, but is saved by Erin, who distracts some of the zombies from some nearby scaffolding. Jacob rushes over to Erin and they sprint away. After being cut off by another horde while trying to make it back to the supermarket, they run into Wonderland Plaza.

In Wonderland Plaza, Jacob and Erin look for a way to escape the zombies. While doing so, they hear somebody's voice calling from above - Edward Remar. Edward, now with a cane to assist him with his crippled leg, flips a switch that activates one of the rides, drawing in most of the zombies.
