Episode 1: A New Day
Lee Everett is handcuffed sitting in the back of a police car. The car suddenly crashes and Lee blacks out. Lee awakens some time later and discovers that his leg is badly wounded. He breaks out of the wrecked cruiser and walks towards the apparently dead policeman. After unlocking his cuffs, the officer reanimates and attacks Lee, who kills it with a shotgun. The noise attracts several walkers to the site and Lee barely escapes them. Lee explores a nearby house, finding a pool of blood in the kitchen and an answering machine. He discovers a walkie talkie in a kitchen drawer and is contacted by Clementine, the young girl who lives in the house. She has been hiding in her treehouse while her parents are away in Savannah. Clementine suddenly screams and Lee is attacked by a zombie, Sandra, Clementine's babysitter. Lee is nearly bitten several times but eventually kills the walker with a hammer given to him by Clementine. Lee promises that he'll look after Clementine for awhile.

After a short amount of time, Lee and Clementine leave the house. Outside they meet and another man. They were trying to get to Shawn's dad's farm. But the road was blocked by cars, so Shawn offers to take Lee and Clementine with him if Lee helps them clear the road. After clearing the road, they make it to the farm and Shawn introduces them to his father, Hershel Greene. Hershel asks Clementine if she knows Lee. She says yes and Hershel then takes care of Lee's leg. He asks how it happened. Lee tells him but doesn't go into detail about it. Later the next day, Hershel confronts Lee about his story. As they talk someone screams and they leave the barn. Hershel goes and gets his gun while Lee goes to see what's going on. When he gets to where the scream came from, he sees Shawn underneath a tractor. It seems that Kenny Jr. might have been involved with Shawn being trapped. There are multiple walkers near the tractor. Two trying to get to Shawn and one trying to get Kenny Jr. You can choose to save Duck (Kenny Jr.) or Shawn, regardless Shawn dies. The only thing the choice does is affect how Hershel acts towards your choice (save Shawn and he thanks you but blames Kenny, Save Duck and he is angry at both of you) either way you get kicked out and taken to Macon. At Macon you run out of gas and run into a group of walkers, you are saved by a group holed up in Lee's family pharmacy. A woman named Carley saves Kenny. Jr from a walker and they run inside and start a arguement over how risky it was to save them and how Duck may have been bitten. You can side with the group or Kenny, after choosing, Clementine is attacked by a walker who was locked in the bathroom and Lee saves her with help from Carley. Larry, the father of Lilly starts to have a heart attack and Lilly says they have ran out of pills, so Lee goes looking for the keys and learns about what happened to his family, Lee helps out around the store and Carely reveals she knows who he is and what he did. You can trust her or not, after that Glenn calls on the talkie, the one that took after going out to find gas for the cars, Glenn says he is trapped at the Travelier Motel. Carley and Lee go out to get Glenn and learn that there is a woman trapped in a nearby room, they need to save her by taking out a group of walkers one by one. After saving her, they discover she is bitten and you must choose to give her the gun or not, regardless she will get the gun. After the motel incident, Glenn is upset, either because you gave her the gun or not, so Lee tries to tell him she made the choice and nothing was going to change her mind. Lee and Doug go out to the gate to look around and find Lee's brother trapped under a pole as a walker. Lee says he might have the keys and shows Doug a picture of him and Lee's parents that was recovered from the office, but no one knows the combo for the lock. So Lee uses a remote, which was also taken from the office, on the TVs around the street and a axe, which was found at the motel, to break the lock. Lee uses a brick to shatter the window so the TVs are better heard and distract the walkers while he kills his brother from his pain. With the keys, they enter the medical section of the store but trip an alarm, now they must make a run for the car and buy some time, Lee is then given a choice to save Carley or Doug. After being able to only save one of them, Lee must then turn his attention to saving Clementine from a walker. On their way out, Lee is blocked by Larry. Larry assaults Lee by knocking him to the floor, with a horde of zombies closing in on him. Just before Lee is attacked by a zombie, Kenny comes to the rescue. Pulling Lee up to his feet, they make their escape together. In the end, the survivors relocate to the motel where they intend to set up base. Just when things seem calm and for the most part peaceful, the street lights begin shutting off and all power at the motel and near there runs empty.
