Plot
Sophia passes out after revealing what happened. Maggie, with Oscar's help, carry out her to the hospital. Jesus is left alone with the prisoner.

Sophia is being treated by Alex. Maggie and her fellow citizens get into a serious discussion about the situtation, and the boys Carl beat up have their parents stand up to their leader. Carl claims to them the boys were trying to kill Sophia and he had to stop them, but the parents do not agree. Maggie takes Carl away from the hospital.

Jesus questions the Whisperer, 16-year-old Lydia, who tells her group tries to cooperate with walkers and do not kill them. Lydia informs Jesus they have to work with them or get killed.

Maggie takes Carl in to a cell, and tells him they won't kill anymore as Rick figured out after the war. She goes inform Jesus that Darius will survive, and takes him away from Lydia. Lydia greets Carl and has a large grin on her mouth.

While talking how to handle Carl, Gregory informs the bullies' parents that there is a solution that involves killing Maggie.
