Episode 1: A New Day
After Lee and Kenny and his family are all kicked off Hershel's Farm, they head towards Lee's former hometown. Kenny's truck starts to run low on gas so everyone gets out of the vehicle and ventures forth on foot. At first the town is quiet and seems deserted, however, Kenny spots what he thought was a man hidden behind a truck and cries out to him not realizing he was a walker. His cries get the attention of the walkers and soon the group finds themselves outnumbered. Carley appears and begins to fire off pistol rounds at the walkers telling the group to hurry and take cover while guides everyone into the pharmacy. Once inside the pharmacy everyone takes cover from the walkers, rests, and begins to become somewhat acquainted with each other.

While Lee tries to help Larry get his pills for his heart condition, Glenn goes on a supply run to the Travelier Motel in hopes to find supplies and gas for their vehicles. While at the motel, Glenn gets trapped, forcing Lee and Carley to come to his aid, once they arrive, Glenn mentions another survivor trapped upstairs in a motel room and wants to rescue her. After a stealthy assault, the group rescues Irene only to find out that she's infected and wants to commit suicide. After the situation with Irene is dealt with, Lee, Carley, and Glenn head back to the pharmacy in town.

Back at the pharmacy, Lee goes outside on watch with and notices his brother, a walker, trapped under a fallen telephone lamppost. He convinces Doug that he worked at the drugstore and has the keys to get into the back of the pharmacy for Larry's pills. Doug agrees and once Lee returns with the keys, an alarm is sounded as soon as the back door is open alerting every nearby walker. The group finds themselves under attack and need to defend their base while Kenny goes and gets his vehicle, once he arrives, almost everyone escapes including Lee (despite Larry's violent tendencies towards him).

The remaining group members take new refuge at the Travlier Motel to try and recuperate and regain what they had lost. Once Lee interacts with the members of the group, he believes that the motel now can be their new base and can hold out the apocalypse there until the Military or any aid arrives until just then, the power goes out.

Episode 2: Starved for Help
The town is still seen in the trailer for Episode 2 where Lee and the group of survivors are still at the Travelier Motel taking refuge however, their situation becomes more dire as they have run out of food and the likelihood of any rescue seems to wither away as more walkers appear everyday.
