Deanna is climbing the ladder to one of the outlooks. It was constructed by Reg, and she traces his initials in the wood.
People below are carrying away the dead. Deanna is overhearing a few women talk. She hears walkers and turns to face them. She looks very fearful. Rick is running in front of them. Michonne runs to open the gate for him and Morgan. They slam the gate shut before the horde of walkers get in. Michonne closes the inside grate to obscure our view of the walkers. We don’t see how Rick escaped the RV.
Credits.
Everyone is standing at the wall, looking at it, probably wondering if it will hold. Rick is saying there enough walkers out there – enough to surround them 20 deep. He says they’re safe for now. He thinks the wall is going to hold together. He’s commenting that the others will be back – Glenn, Nicholas, Sasha, Abraham. And what they have to do is to keep noise to a minimum, and turn out the lights.
Aaron says that what Rick had done is keeping the walkers away. He says that when he and Daryl were out recruiting he lost his pack. The wolves are there because of him. He is mortified by this.
Deanna is walking away. She’s absorbing everything. It seems to be a little much for her right now, and she looks overwhelmed.
Jessie drags the woman she killed in her kitchen to the graveyard by the wall. She starts digging. Rick tells her that they don’t bury killers inside the walls. She asks him what do they do? He says ‘you wait.’
Woman X (I don’t know her name) is at the pantry. Many townspeople want to raid said pantry. Why should their families starve today when it probably won’t matter tomorrow? They all start to stream in.
Spencer walks up, sees what’s happening, and calls out Bruce. He says if they go down this path by raiding the pantry, then nothing matters. He says that he stopped the wolves’ truck from breaking in for the good of the group. If he hadn’t done that then maybe they wouldn’t all be talking now. So no raiding the pantry! They are chastened and put the food back.
Deanna walks up to Spencer and looks at him approvingly.
Aaron sees Maggie planting, and some Alexandrians writing names of the dead on the walls in their memory. Glenn and Nicholas’s names are both there. It’s unclear if Maggie has seen Glenn’s name on the wall.
Aaron follows Maggie into the house and sees her loading weapons. He asks her if she’s going out. He says she’s gearing up, and waiting for dark. What happens when you twist an ankle? He says he can’t let her do this. She says you can’t stop me. He says he’ll help her. He knows a safer way out.
Deanna is at her house sadly looking at her wedding ring. Se’s drawing a map…. and adds a lot of comments to the map. There’s a long comment that she writes in Latin. She looks satisfied by her work. Spencer drops a glass and breaks it, and Deanna goes to talk to him. She comes out and they talk. He stole a little bit of food, and she says ‘oh so what you said doesn’t matter’. And he says no. He deserves a reward for all the things he’s done to save them.
He blames everything on Deanna because she wanted to dream that they were all safe. He doesn’t say it but they’re all weak and don’t know how to fight – they don’t know how to survive in this bad new world and it’s her fault. He’s gone over the line and they are both silent.
Ron is outside playing with knives. Carl walks up and asks if he’s okay. He asks why wouldn’t he be? Carl asks about Enid. Ron refers to her as his girlfriend. Carl is going to go after her and Ron says no. They fight. Carl knocks him down. Ron says I’m going to tell your dad, and then he’ll go after you. And then people will go after Rick, and so on, and so on. Carl walks off and Ron is flat on the ground on his back.
Denise the doctor is looking at medical information. Her patient is not doing well and she’s afraid he will die. Tara walks in to see how she’s doing. Denise wants to know why she’s there. Tara says she has a headache. Denise freaks. Tara says she’s lying, she just wanted to check in on her. Denise is touched. All of her fears come streaming out to Tara. Tara gives her a copy of Gray’s Anatomy.
Jessie is outside looking through the window at a walker in one of the houses. It’s a woman. Who knows how she died. Jessie pulls out her knife and slowly opens the door and stabs the woman in the head. Initiative!! She has a small group of onlookers now. She tells them she didn’t want to see how things were, but this is how life is now. If we don’t fight, we die. She walks down the stairs past the onlookers including the doctor.
Aaron and Maggie go outside and are going to go through the sewer. It will take them under the wall. It was part of the old neighborhood. She tells Aaron she’ll go on her own now. He says no. Down into the dark sewer they go. They are talking and have lights. She says none of this is his fault. He says yeah, it is.
A ladder is blocking their way. they move it and a sewer walker is waiting for them. Many sewer walkers. They fight. Aaron kills one. Maggie is fighting another, and Aaron rescues her. They both seem to be okay. Gross scene, but great.
Denise is back in the ward, looking at Gray’s Anatomy. She’s working on her patient. She injects something in his leg and removes puss? She’s happy because it seems to have worked.
Rick and Ron are talking on the wall. He tells Rick that Enid is out there. Ron is ratting out Carl. Ron says he was thinking about what Rick said at the quarry. He doesn’t know how to protect himself. Can you teach me how to shoot. Yeah, he doesn’t want to kill walkers – he’s after Carl. He gives Ron a gun.
Tara is sitting outside on the steps of a house. She asks Denise how her patient is doing. Denise gives her a big kiss on the lips. Tara asks what is it? Denise says the end of the world. Tara says no it isn’t. They smile at each other.
Back in the sewers. Aaron and Maggie have reached the end, locked inside. There’s a horde outside. She yells, and the walkers attack at the wall. She says no, it’s over. She thinks Glenn is dead. She has to live with not knowing what happened to Glenn. Many walkers congregate just outside the grate.
Jessie made Sam some cookies, but he won’t come downstairs. She asks why. He just won’t. He goes back into his room. He’s shell shocked. Jessie walks back to his room and leaves the cookies outside the door. This does not bode well for his survival.
Deanna is outside at night and is hearing voices and is met by a walker. She picks up a broken bottle and stabs the walker everywhere but in the head. The walker is a dead wolf. Rick saves her and kills the walker. Deanna is now covered with blood – baptism. She tells Rick the Alexandrians need Rick as a leader. He says no, they need her to lead.
Rick helps her gather up her belongings. She asks if what she wanted for this place is pie in the sky? She’s clearly thinking about Spencer’s remarks to her. Rick says no. She walks off.
Maggie and Aaron are on the wall listening the walkers outside. Maggie walks up to the wall by Glenn’s name and tries to take his name off. He comments to her that he knows she’s pregnant. He does this by saying that Aaron or Erin, pronounced the same, could be a boy’s name or a girl’s name.
Spencer is Rosita’s relief on the wall. She thanks him for taking out the truck driver. He says he got lucky. She leaves him alone on the wall. He eats some pilfered crackers.
Jessie is looking at some clothing. Rick comes in. He comments about his name on the wall. Jessie says they could still be alive – Daryl, Glenn, Sasha, Abraham. This is what life looks like now. Rick kisses Jessie. She doesn’t push him away. They’re in the garage, and the door is open so anyone can see.
Deanna walks back up to the chain link gate. She can see the walkers through it. She bangs on the grate. She walks by the grate and we see blood flowing into the wall on the Alexandrian side.
