Summary
Shocking developments drive a wedge between brothers-in-arms.

Plot
In a flashback, Javier and Kate go find gas in their neighborhood. Javier discusses David's whereabouts and that it has been four months since David's departure with Mrs. Garcìa. They reach the gas but discover that it is empty. Kate yells in frustration, attracting the Walker from inside the house. It attacks Javier, when the Walker pins him to the ground, Javier yells for Kate to give him the hammer that she said holding. But she looks at the Walker in the terror. Instead, Javier kills the Walker by smashing it's head into the ground multiple times. Kate apologizes because she reveals that she knows this walker. It was Drew, one of Gabe's friends. Once they get back home, they soon realize that it is not safe anymore and must move on. Gabe and Mariana overhear their conversation and Javier explains they have to leave because it it too dangerous to stay from now on. Gabe disagrees, and insists that they leave him behind because he does not want to ditch his father. Javier instead suggests that they write him a letter, and move on, Gabe finally agrees and writes the letter. They soon leave the house in the van as Javier takes one last look of their home.

Back in the present, David is shocked to find Javier, Gabe and Kate still alive. After their reunion, Javier and David walk around and get to Kate while Javier describes what happened to Mariana and how she died by the hands of the New Frontier.

 * If Conrad was killed in "Ties That Bind - Part 2", Tripp will be depressed about his death.

 * The group will either be on their knees or standing up depending how you ended the last episode.

Goofs/Errors/Animating Mistakes

 * There are several errors during the "Previously On" segment:
 * Mrs. Garcia's facial animations are non-functional, with her showing no appropriate reaction to the scene in Ties That Bind - Part 1.
 * Clementine is seen wearing her hood up with in her encounter with Javier, which she never had in Ties That Bind - Part 1.
 * If the group fully surrendered by getting on their knees, whilst everyone else is kneeling in the final seconds of Ties That Bind - Part 2, Javier is the only one standing when he also got on his knees in the previous episode.
 * If Rufus was spared, it is not known to how he knew Clementine was the one responsible for knocking down the tree considering she isn't in sight until he left the scene.
 * If Conrad is alive and Javi fails to help David barricade the door, Conrad can be seen simply standing there as Javi, Clem, Tripp and Jesus are devoured, not scared or upset.
