After gaining new friends (and enemies), Clementine has found her way into the lives of more survivors. Now, she fights for her life against an army of the dead with one wounded companion. How will she beat this new threat?
Plot[]
Chapter 1: Two of Us[]
This episode begins with Clementine sheltering from the walkers with whichever companion she aided at the end of "All That Remains".
If Clementine helped Nick: Clementine and Nick barely manage to keep the doors of a shed closed with a group of walkers trying to force their way inside. Not answering Clementine's call beside him, (Determinant) Nick suddenly leaves Clementine to keep the doors closed by herself. Just before she loses control of the doors, Nick returns and slides a heavy crate in front of the doors, forcibly keeping the doors in place.
Despondent, Nick shows no regard for how they would get away from the walkers. He asks why Clementine had chosen to help him instead of Pete. Clementine's answer does not satisfy him, (Determinant) but he makes no effort to talk to her in favor of sinking into apathy. Clementine looks around their shed for anything useful. She ultimately discovers an intact stash of whiskey jars, leading Nick to decide to start drinking. Left with little other choice than to wait for the walkers outside to lose interest in the shed, Clementine sets herself down away from Nick and lets herself fall asleep.
She is awoken several hours later by the sound of glass breaking. After first affirming that the walkers had not breached the shed, Clementine goes to find Nick impulsively throwing some of the whiskey jars at a wall. He prepares to throw another after seeing that she is awake, but he falters, lowering his arm. Unprompted, Nick shares that he had had to kill his mother, then jokes about how it sounded when he stated it so simply. He relates a story of his relationship with Luke from before the outbreak, highlighting how Luke had always needed to motivate him and pessimistically musing that surviving now meant losing others until death. Nick offers to share a drink with Clementine, which she can accept or decline. Deciding that he was done trying to survive, Nick urges Clementine to leave without him and go find the rest of the group.
Clementine has the option of trying to convince him to get up and leave with her or letting him stay behind. If she allows him to stew in his own misery, he agrees with her deciding not to care about him and reminds her that the cabin was not far from their location. She then quietly steps out of the shed and closes the doors behind herself, (Determinant) but she is forced to run when some walkers notice her. (Determinant) Alternatively, if Clementine convinces Nick that the rest of his group was his family and he should try to make it back to them, he stands up with his jar and follows her back to the door, reminding her that the cabin was nearby in case they got separated. The two of them try to quietly sneak out of the shed, (Determinant) but a walker notices them and forces Nick to knock it back with his whiskey jar. (Determinant) Nick tries to distract the walkers to give Clementine an avenue to escape, (Determinant) forcibly turning her away if she tries to lead him back to the shed. (Determinant) Regardless of whether Clementine tried to escape with Nick or alone, she manages to get away from the walkers.
If Clementine helped Pete: Clementine and Pete seal themselves inside of a box truck parked in the forest to keep the walkers out. Pete immediately sits down and regards his bite wound, challenging Clementine for staring at it like he was. He notices a hacksaw left behind in the truck, asking Clementine to hand it to him. Clementine has the option of complying or expressing skepticism that cutting off the bitten limb would work. Regardless of whether or not Clementine supports his attempt to amputate the hacksaw, Pete fails to use it, deciding that he would bleed out if he cut off his own foot.
Giving Pete a moment to think, Clementine searches around the box truck for anything useful. If she checks her backpack, Clementine has the option of giving Pete her water bottle if she did not give it to the dying scavenger earlier that day. If Clementine searches the front of the truck, she has the option of trying to turn the keys left behind in the ignition, but the truck is out of gas and cannot go anywhere. Clementine ultimately finds a box of cigarettes near Pete, which he requests the chance to smoke. Clementine lights a cigarette for him, leading him to derisively comment on its taste when he takes a puff. Left with little other choice than to wait for the walkers outside to lose interest in the truck, Clementine sets herself down near Pete and lets herself fall asleep.
She is awoken several hours later by Pete loudly groaning and convulsing. Unable to tell if he was alive or reanimating, Clementine cautiously approaches him. Pete suddenly wakes up with a heavy cough, showing an unhealthy complexion and bloodshot eyes. Remarking on how long they had been trapped, Pete ironically states that he does not want to die. Clementine can try to comfort him, but he turns his attention to his nephew Nick, requesting that Clementine try to find him if she got out of there. Deciding that they were not going to be found by anyone in their group, Pete offers to let Clementine escape while he distracts the walkers.
Clementine has the option of either allowing him to remain behind or convincing him to come with her. If she allows him to remain behind, she quietly slips out of the box truck while he repeatedly turns the keys in the ignition, drawing the walkers to him while she sneaks away. If she convinces him to come with her for the chance to say goodbye to Nick, Pete follows her back outside, but his infected leg fails to let him run when a walker notices them, leading him to order her to run. Clementine can try to help Pete, (Determinant) but he orders her again to run, (Determinant) which she finally does as more walkers close in around him. (Determinant) Regardless of whether Clementine tried to escape with Pete or alone, she manages to get away from the walkers.
This next part is non-determinant and happens regardless of the player's choices.
Chapter 2: The Intruder[]
A short period of time later, Clementine finds her way back to the cabin, calming as she realizes that she has slipped away from the walkers. She enters the cabin through the rear, coming across Rebecca and Carlos huddled in the kitchen. The two of them become concerned when they see that she has returned alone after the other adults had gone out in search of their missing members. Clementine explains what had happened the previous day, informing them that they had been separated at the stream. Rebecca demands that they go out looking for the others, imposing on Carlos's reluctance until he agrees to get the guns. Shortly before leaving, Carlos requests that Clementine not tell Sarah the situation and to remain in the cabin until they returned.
Clementine goes upstairs to find Sarah, entering her room. Sarah startles Clementine with the flash of a polaroid camera, stating that she had found it under the cabin. Sarah requests that Clementine shoot her polaroid as well, which she can agree to do or ignore and watch as Sarah takes a picture of herself. Sarah notices Clementine's dour expression, understanding that something is wrong whether or not Clementine chooses to reveal it to her. Sarah sits down on the floor to contain her anxiety. (Determinant) After Clementine gives her a reassuring smile, (Determinant) Sarah offers to show her something else she found under the cabin, (Determinant) pulling out a pistol that she says is unloaded. (Determinant) Sarah asks Clementine to teach her how to use it, (Determinant) which she can agree to do and relate Lee's lessons from when he taught her or refuse to show her how to use it. (Determinant)
Sarah looks out the window and announces that Luke is back, going downstairs to greet him. Clementine follows after a moment, but she sees someone other than Luke walking around outside of the cabin rather than directly coming inside. Sarah begins to panic, saying that she thinks she knows him but cannot remember who he is. (Determinant) The man outside knocks on the front door and calls out for anyone inside, forcing Clementine to act after shushing Sarah. Clementine goes to the door, with the option of either trying to lock it or opening it from the inside.
After Clementine either opens the door or the man outside opens it before she can do anything, he greets her gingerly, subtly displaying the pistol holstered at his hip. Clementine can ask him for his name after he asks for hers, which he gives as George if asked. He intimidates his way through the door, ignoring any complaints from Clementine. As Sarah hides in the living room, he tries to probe her through guarded conversation, asking if she was with anyone after finding her alone in the cabin. He states that he is looking for seven people, giving descriptions that match the survivors that Clementine had met in the cabin. Clementine can try to deflect or not, but George imposes his way around her, entering the kitchen to find the set of dirty dishes in the sink. Clementine notes a cutting knife left out on the counter as he apparently relaxes near the sink. She can go for the knife or continue to engage in conversation, but either option results in George grabbing the knife, menacing her with it, and putting it away in a drawer.
George re-enters the living room, Sarah managing to circle around to a different hiding spot before he can spot her. He finds a shirt draped over a couch, noting that it looked like something that his old friend Carlos might wear. Sarah tries to sneak upstairs, but George notices a door swing closed behind her. George draws his gun and goes into the bedroom, but he does not find her, as Clementine sees her hiding under a bed. George offers a thin apology, claiming that he wouldn't have wanted to leave her alone at the thought of someone breaking into her cabin. George, however, pauses, finding the polaroid of Sarah. Dropping the pretense, George directly asks her if she has any idea who the other survivors in the cabin are. Clementine can try to keep up the act or directly respond to him, but George then returns to the act to let himself out of the cabin. Clementine watches as he goes, then confers with Sarah as she worries that he will return.
Chapter 3: Departure[]
A few minutes, Clementine and Sarah confer about what they should do. Clementine decides that they cannot afford to wait for the others to return with George in the area looking for them. Just before she can leave, however, the rear door in the kitchen opens, the rest of the group having just returned. If Clementine went with Pete the previous day, the others have found Nick and brought him back to the cabin. Regardless of who Clementine was with, Luke determines to quickly head out to find their other missing member, but Sarah quickly informs them that someone had been to the cabin while they were away and spoken to Clementine. Carlos initially expresses outrage that Clementine had spoken to him, but he quickly shifts to fear, asking if the man had shared his name. Rebecca demands that Clementine answer, shouting over the others when they try to calm her down. If Clementine had asked him his name, she has the option of relating it or not, which leads to Rebecca and Alvin having a negative reaction. Carlos further asks for a description of the man, which Clementine can provide.
Luke asks if she thought that George would be coming back, leading Sarah to interject that he had seen the polaroid of her before leaving. Carlos angrily takes the photograph from her, Luke trying to calm him down.
Take Blame: Clementine tries to take the blame for George finding the picture, saying that she had taken it. Sarah either blames herself for asking Clementine to take the photo or says that Clementine was lying if she had taken it herself. (Determinant) Carlos wearily addresses Sarah, but lets the matter drop.
Do Not Take Blame: Clementine can either remain silent, blame Carlos for instructing Clementine to distract Sarah, or blame Sarah for the photograph. If Clementine blames Sarah, she reacts with disgust at her father and shock at Clementine if she had agreed to be friends with her a few nights earlier.
This next part is non-determinant and happens regardless of the player's choices.
Carlos determines that the man had been there scouting the area earlier, not expecting to have found Clementine there. Carlos and Luke decide that the cabin is no longer safe for them, telling the others to quickly pack up their belongings so they can move out. Clementine asks what the man wanted, (Determinant) Carlos answering that he wanted to bring them back to their settlement. (Determinant) Regardless of whether or not the man had given the name "George" earlier, Carlos concludes that it had actually been William Carver, their former community leader whom they had escaped. He offers Clementine the chance to come with them, thinking that she would be safer with the group now that Carver had met her and discovered that she had been with them. Luke calls out for everyone to be ready to head out to look for Nick/Pete. (Determinant)
A few minutes into their trek, Clementine leads Luke and the others to where she had last seen Nick/Pete. (Determinant) Rebecca moves up alongside Clementine to apologize to her for how she had spoken to her when discussing Carver. Clementine can address her apology or ask why Carver was after them, the latter of which leads to Rebecca evasively deflecting to the group after first mistaking her question as an accusation that Carver was after her specifically. Rebecca explains that her late-term pregnancy was making her more dependent on others and it made her uncomfortable. As Rebecca idly asks if Clementine has any suggestions for what to name her baby, Clementine stalks off the trail, leading the others to their destination.
If Clementine helped Nick: Clementine leads Luke back to the shed where she had last seen Nick. The walkers have mostly dispersed from the area, but a few stragglers approach Luke, forcing him to use his machete to kill them. Upon dispatching the walkers, the two of them approach the shed. Clementine opens the door, letting Luke enter and find Nick lying on the floor. After a moment, he stirs, lazily asking if Luke had any aspirin. Relieved that his friend was all right, Luke helps him up, comforting him over Pete's death. Luke alerts Nick that Carver was on their trail, meaning that they had to move on. Understanding, Nick goes with them back to the trail.
Returning to the trail, Nick either thanks Clementine for convincing him not to give up or apologizes to her for staying behind. Regardless of how Clementine responds, Nick falls into silence and allows himself to lag behind the rest of the group on their trek. Luke asks her what had happened when the two of them were alone, giving her the chance to explain what Nick had done.
If Clementine helped Pete: Clementine leads Luke, Alvin and Nick back to the truck where she had last seen Pete. The walkers have mostly dispersed, and several appear to have been killed despite Pete being unarmed. Nick immediately goes to open the truck, finding it to be empty. Alvin suggests that he might not have gotten very far, making Nick angrily turn away to look for his uncle. The others spread out to search, with Clementine finding a trail of blood and dead walkers behind the truck. She follows it to finally find Pete's corpse, almost entirely disemboweled with another dead walker on beside him. Clementine stands still as the others gather around, Nick suffering a nervous breakdown. Carlos points out that Pete had been shot in the head to prevent reanimation, Clementine questioning who had shot him as Luke tries to comfort Nick. Carlos decides that they have to keep moving, calling for the others to follow him away from the scene. Luke slowly manages to tow Nick along despite some resistance.
Returning to the trail, Nick presses Clementine for details on what had happened to Pete. She has the option of sharing her last impression of him, but Nick falls into silence regardless of her response and allows himself to lag behind the rest of the group on their trek.
This next part is non-determinant and happens regardless of the player's choices.
Luke expresses his concern for Nick's well-being, asking that Clementine help him keep an eye on him. Luke lightheartedly asks if she still wanted to be with the group as they journeyed away from the cabin, giving her the choice of responding assuredly or unconvincingly. Addressing the others, Luke says that they have between four and five days to reach the mountains to the north in order to escape from Carver's reach. Rebecca laments their pace, but Alvin reassures her and Carlos backs up Luke's call, insisting that they had no other choice. The group continues walking, Nick dejectedly bringing up the rear.
Chapter 4: In the Woods[]
The group takes five days to reach the mountains in accordance with Luke's goals. They come to a rest along a ridge, giving Clementine a chance to scope out their path through her binoculars. In the distance, she spots a ski lodge at the end of their trail that could be a good place to spend the night, and a bridge with a nearby station house between them and their destination. Luke rebuffs Carlos when he says that they should go now, arguing that the bridge was too exposed for all of them to cross without knowing if it was clear. Luke determines that he and Clementine can scout the bridge by themselves first and then signal to the others that it was safe. Nick offers to go with them, but Luke directs him to stay put, irritating Nick. Despite Carlos's objections that Clementine was just a little girl, he allows the two of them to leave.
Walking to the bridge, Luke confides in Clementine that he does not trust Nick to remain focused at the moment, still muddled by his uncle's death. Clementine asks why Carver would still be following them five days later. Hesitant, Luke deflects to a question about what the most important thing in the world is. Luke believes that the answer is family, implying that Carver viewed them as his family and that Rebecca would be in the best position to tell her why Carver was after them.
Before getting to the bridge, the two of them come across a pair of walkers facing away from them. They decide to take them from behind, Luke telling her to kill the seated walker with her hammer while he kills the standing walker. Clementine has the option of doing as he says or taking out the standing walker herself and having him kill the seated one. Regardless of whether or not Clementine follows his plan, the two of them playfully bond over their handling of the walkers before going to scout the bridge.
Chapter 5: Crossing the Bridge[]
The two of them step onto the bridge, finding it to be partially blocked by debris in the middle but still passable, with a hundred-foot drop below it into a river. The two of them are approached by a new pair of walkers from the debris, then turn around to find a third walker stalking them from behind. Luke draws his machete and goes to deal with the solitary walker first, but he steps on a rotted board and falls through the bridge, nearly tumbling out of it into the water below. The walker also falls through, both of them getting stuck below Clementine with no easy way to get out while Luke struggles to keep it from grabbing his foot.
Clementine is forced to leave Luke to deal with the other two walkers, pulling out her hammer to strike at the closest one. While the claw gets embedded in its jaw, she fails to kill it when it pushes her back to the edge of the bridge. It tries to tackle Clementine, forcing her to drop the hammer and grab onto the edge of the bridge frame to keep from falling into the river with it. With one walker out of the way, Clementine maneuvers the other walker into getting stuck between two beams while she crawls back onto the bridge. She scrambles to grab a new weapon, picking up Luke's fallen machete to hack at the walker a few times until she chops into its skull. (Determinant) Returning to aid Luke, Clementine hands him a discarded metal rod to give him enough of a footing to stand and drag himself out of the hole in the bridge. Breathless, Luke thanks her for saving him, taking his machete back as the two of them move to get around the debris.
On the other side of the bridge, however, the two of them stop when they see a man with a rifle approaching from the station house. Luke asks Clementine to handle talking to him, believing she would make a more sympathetic speaker. The stranger initially speaks curtly from a distance, demanding to know who they are. As he gets closer, however, he softens his tone, explaining that he had encountered many people like them crossing this bridge on a journey north. The man offers them some of his supplies in the station house, surprising Luke with his generosity. Before the two of them can go with the stranger, however, he starts, seeing Nick coming around the bridge debris. The two of them raise their rifles on each other from a distance, Luke calling for Nick to stop. Luke covers Clementine to the ground just as a rifle fires, the two of them looking up to see the stranger with a fresh wound in his neck. Gurgling blood, he attempts to return fire, but he falls over the side of the bridge to his death.
Furious, Luke storms back over to reprimand Nick, who defends his actions by saying he thought that they were being held up by that man. Luke sees the others coming up behind Nick on the bridge, stating that they had to keep moving before the sound of the gunshot attracted attention. They rejoin the group and move up to the station house.
Chapter 6: The Other Side[]
The survivors stop for an exhausted Rebecca just outside of the station house, each of them wanting an explanation for what had happened with the stranger. Nick insists that the other man had raised his gun first, arguing that Luke was just looking for a reason to scold him. Clementine can offer her account of what had happened at Alvin's request, though the argument quickly ends when Nick lashes out at Luke for bringing up Pete. Carlos asks if the man might have been with Carver, which Luke doubts and says that he wouldn't matter since he had fallen off the bridge. Opting to give Rebecca a few extra moments to recover her strength, Carlos asks Luke for a private word, the two of them stepping away from the station house to discuss matters.
Alvin asks Clementine to check out the inside of the station house for the stranger's food while the others rest. Before entering the station house, she has the option to speak to Nick, who sulks alone next to the station house apart from the group. If Clementine had helped Pete at the stream the previous week and she speaks to Nick now, Nick shares that he had had to kill his mother and jokes about how it sounded when he stated it so simply. He relates a story of his relationship with Luke from before the outbreak, (Determinant) highlighting how Luke had always needed to motivate him. (Determinant) Nick notes how Luke and Carlos were likely talking about him becoming increasingly unstable, (Determinant) then asks for Clementine's honest opinion on what she thought the stranger would have done. (Determinant) He regrets having shot the man and claims that Alvin would have done the same thing had their positions been reversed. (Determinant) If Clementine had grabbed the wristwatch in the cabin her first time inside of it, she has the option of giving it to Nick when he laments having left it behind. Determining to get involved, (Determinant) Nick decides to get up and interject into the conversation between Luke and Carlos. (Determinant)
Clementine enters the station house, finding a small, cramped space with enough refuse to indicate that the former inhabitant had been there a while. She finds a locked chest without any sign of a key, suspecting that he had carried it with him. Clementine takes a nearby survival knife with the initials "WM" on the sheath to pry the latch off the lock, letting her open the chest. Inside, she finds two unopened cans of peaches, enough for the group to eat tonight.
Alvin then enters the station house behind her, who expresses distaste at the living conditions inside. Noting the presence of food, Alvin curses Nick for shooting the man. He calls Nick's actions murder, idly asking if Clementine had ever known anyone who had shot someone for no reason. Clementine can relate her experience with Lilly in her first group or set aside his question. Alvin takes one of the cans and asks Clementine if she would be willing to let him give it to Rebecca without telling the others. Clementine can agree or reject his request, the latter of which leading to Alvin understanding her hesitance. As Alvin prepares to leave the station house, he spots a small herd of walkers crossing the bridge behind the group. He and Clementine rush outside to rally the others, getting everyone to stand and jog away toward the ski lodge up the mountain.
Chapter 7: Reunited[]
Hours after a long hike to escape the herd, the group finally reaches the ridge just below the ski lodge, finding it to be fortified but apparently abandoned from the outside. An exhausted Rebecca is eager to get inside, but the others insist that they scout the area first, Carlos and Alvin going to check the front of the lodge. Luke joins Clementine at the platform below the ski lift, asking her to climb up top to get a view of the way they had come and make sure that they had lost their pursuers. Despite some reluctance, Clementine agrees to check for him, climbing up the ladder as Luke remains below to catch her in case she falls. Clementine makes it to the stop after almost slipping, taking out her binoculars to scout back down the valley below. Despite the darkness, she is able to see the bridge and station house below. In the forest beyond the bridge, however, she spots a pair of roving lights, calling out to Luke.
Before she can get Luke's response, however, Luke runs off back to the platform outside of the ski lodge. Clementine sees her group engaged in a standoff with another group, quickly scaling back down the ladder to help. As she gets closer, she hears a few of them trying to defuse the situation while others demand to know who the others are. Of the three unknown survivors, only the one in the middle brandishes a gun, with Nick holding him up in return. Clementine pushes her way to the front of the group just as the gunman refuses to lower his weapon at Alvin's request.
The gunman notes Clementine's presence, then immediately lowers his gun in shock as both he and Clementine recognize each other despite close to two years apart. Clementine calls out Kenny's name, (Determinant) making Luke aware that they know each other. Kenny similarly steps up to her, stunned by her appearance. An emotional Kenny relents and invites her group inside the ski lodge, a man beside him offering them dinner. Carlos and the others are skeptical, but they agree to follow as Kenny and Clementine walk inside together.
Chapter 8: Revelations[]
Kenny introduces the man as Walter after he opens the front door for them and indicates that Kenny and Sarita had been staying with them at the lodge for a few weeks. The others separately enter the lodge, finding the interior to be well-lit thanks to power from a wind turbine on the grounds outside the building. Walter invites the others to leave their belongings at the front door, but Nick distrustfully insists on keeping his rifle with him unless Kenny leaves his gun behind as well. Skeptical, Kenny asks Clementine to vouch for the others, which she does. (Determinant) Demurring, Clementine, Kenny, Nick, Luke and Carlos agree to jointly leave their possessions at the bench.
While the others mingle around the lodge, Clementine and Kenny split off to reacquaint themselves. Kenny brings up having expected to see Lee beside her when he had first seen her, then apologizes when he notices her reaction to Lee's name. She informs him that Lee had saved her back in Savannah, (Determinant) then had rejoined Christa and Omid after escaping. (Determinant) Kenny briefly recounts having narrowly survived Savannah, then struggling to go on until he had met Sarita, but he expresses happiness at having reunited with Clementine now. Sarita then joins them, introducing herself to Clementine. Kenny asks a nearby Walter where Matthew was, suggesting he was somewhere out of the lodge. Walter agrees, not expressing any concern as he goes to start cooking dinner.
Sarita offers to occupy Sarah for a few minutes decorating a Christmas tree, giving Carlos a moment to confer with the others. Kenny, meanwhile, enlists Luke and Nick to help him move supplies inside before a coming storm. Clementine goes to find Walter at the café, watching as he prepares dinner for the group in a cooking pot. He asks how she knows Kenny, giving her the chance to explain that they had met at the start of the outbreak. (Determinant) Walter fondly recalls being a teacher before the outbreak and how much he values his partner Matthew. He offers her a chance to take a small sample of dinner, though she abstains after noting its less-than-appetizing appearance. Walter then takes the pot away from the cafe to finish preparing it privately, leaving behind an unopened can peaches like the one from the station house down the mountain.
Clementine goes to speak to the others inside the lodge. (Note: Clementine can speak to Sarita and Rebecca in either order.) Sarita invites Clementine to help her and Sarah add more decorations to the Christmas tree. Sarita suggests that Clementine must be glad to see Kenny again, implying that Kenny had become reclusive by the time she had met him. (Determinant) Clementine goes to find the tree topper upstairs, where she finds Rebecca, Alvin and Carlos discussing whether Carver could still be following them. Alvin believes that they have to be beyond Carver's reach now, but Carlos brings up that Clementine had seen people down by the bridge from the ski lift. Carlos decides that they have to continue their journey through the mountains in the morning, hinting that he did not fully trust Kenny's group either. Regardless of whether Clementine shares her suspicions, Alvin decides that the group should stay at the lodge for the night. Carlos leaves to find Luke and Alvin leaves to find something for Rebecca to drink.
Alone, Clementine asks a visibly disturbed Rebecca if she was okay. Rebecca doubts her own ability to raise her child, which Clementine can reassure her over or share concerns. She expresses some hope over the future of her child, but then slumps back into a disturbed posture. Rebecca confides in Clementine that Alvin was not the father of her baby, worried about how he would react. Alvin then returns to bring her some water, making Rebecca hide her concerns and express her love for him.
Clementine leaves the two of them alone to find Sartia's tree topper, having the choice to put up a golden star or an angel on top of the Christmas tree. After selecting one, she returns downstairs to hear Sarita reminisce about how generous Walter and Matthew were despite how dangerous the world was. Clementine can try to probe some information about Matthew out of her, but she obliviously just states that "he should be back soon" to any question. Fidgeting, Sarita quietly asks Clementine if Kenny seemed different than she remembered from him when they had first known each other, commenting that he had been "struggling" lately. Kenny then returns to comment on the Christmas tree, Sarita quickly dispelling her concern when she sees him. She picks up a heavy box of the unused decorations to put away, but Kenny irritably takes it from her to put away himself after she ignores his first attempt at chivalry. Sarita dismisses Kenny's behavior after a moment, once again suggesting that he had been physically and emotionally drained when they had first met.
Once Clementine has helped both Sarita and Rebecca and everyone is back inside, Walter announces that dinner is ready in the café.
Chapter 9: Christmas Dinner[]
Kenny goes to sit with Sarita at a table separate from the others as Walter serves everyone their bowls. Walter walks over to join Kenny as Luke consoles Nick about the shooting earlier in the day. Luke signals for Clementine to join them, but Kenny calls for her first, inviting her to sit at his table. Clementine sees both Luke and Kenny waiting on her.
Sit with Kenny: Clementine goes to sit beside Walter, Luke dejectedly turning away and allowing her to eat with her old friend. As Clementine begins eating, Kenny skeptically asks her what she thought of Luke, giving her a chance to share her impression of him. Kenny indicates that he had heard Alvin mentioning that they had fled to the mountains, Clementine confirming that they had been chased by other survivors. Kenny tells her that she would be safe staying with him at the lodge after the rest of her group left in the morning. Clementine can accept or reject his desire to kick the others out, the latter of which leading to Kenny and Sarita clashing over letting the others stay. Afterward, Sarita and Walter each stand up to go mingle with the others, allowing Luke and Nick to join Clementine and Kenny at their dinner table.
Sit with Luke: Clementine goes to sit beside Nick, Kenny disappointedly focusing on his dinner and allowing her to eat with her new friends. As Clementine begins eating, Luke, Nick and Carlos skeptically ask her what she thought of Kenny, giving her a chance to share her impression of him. Luke indicates having been told by Walter that Kenny's family had died. Clementine can share what she remembers of Kenny toward the end of their time together, though Luke remains unconvinced about him. Afterward, Carlos and Sarah stand up to mingle with the other table, allowing Kenny to come over and sit beside Luke at this table.
This next part is non-determinant and happens regardless of the player's choices.
Kenny awkwardly tries to make small talk with Luke and Nick, disturbing Clementine with his forced laughter. Luke asks if Kenny and his group had plans on staying in the ski lodge long term, prompting Kenny to state that they had planned on moving out. He asks Clementine if she had heard "of a place called Wellington, irritably brushing aside questions from Luke about it. Clementine can relate her knowledge of it or not, but Kenny subsequently insults Nick before explaining that it was supposed to be a place with lots of resources and cold winters that would affect the walkers. Instigated, Nick disregards Kenny's plan, arguing with him before Luke tries to settle the argument as pointless since they would be leaving in the morning. Kenny stuns Luke by insisting that Clementine is staying at the lodge with him, giving her a chance to try to end the argument. (Determinant)
Walter interjects in the argument himself, gently trying to get them to eat their dinners in peace. Grumbling, the three of them try to go back to their dinner, Kenny absently asking Duck to pass him a can on the table. Clementine realizes his mistake a moment before he does, looking at him with concern while Luke looks to her in confusion. Clementine explains that Duck was Kenny's dead son, (Determinant) making Luke fall quiet. (Determinant) Sensing that Kenny needed a moment, Walter invites Clementine to follow him outside the lodge, letting Kenny sit in silence for a few minutes.
Chapter 10: Helping A Stranger[]
Outside of the ski lodge, Walter apologizes to Clementine for having witnessed Kenny and her group arguing over her. He encourages her to work with him on getting their two groups to get along, believing that they would eventually "find common ground" and wind up together staying at the lodge. Clementine can offer her thoughts on the situation, though Walter remains optimistic in his belief that people like them would be stronger together. When Walter notices Clementine's apprehension, he asks her what was wrong, giving her the opportunity to express her concerns about Walter's partner Matthew. (Determinant) Walter reassuringly insists that everything would be fine. (Determinant)
Kenny joins the two of them outside, asking for their help checking on the lodge's fortifications before the storm arrives. Agreeing, the two of them round the corner, only to be unexpectedly stopped by the sight of a woman trying to peer through the window of the lodge. Kenny hefts his rifle, but Walter beckons for him to wait, calling out to the woman himself. The woman starts at the sight of the three of them, putting her hands up as Kenny suspiciously eyes her. She claims that she has a family down the mountain and that she was looking for food. Walter gets her to introduce herself as Bonnie, wanting to invite her into the lodge with them. Kenny objects to letting a stranger enter, though the woman says that she needed to return to her family before the storm anyway. Walter volunteers to give her food to bring back to her family, going to get some from inside despite her protests. Bonnie approaches Clementine at a distance as Kenny brandishes his weapon, asking how old she is. After Clementine responds, (Determinant) Walter returns with a heavy box of supplies for her, making her uncomfortable with his unexpected generosity. Walter sees her off, letting her leave to return to her family. Staring at Walter flatly, Kenny directs Clementine to head back inside to bed so he and Walter can discuss what had just happened.
Clementine returns to find that dinner has ended and that everyone has apparently left the common area. Before she can leave the cafeteria, however, she is stopped by Luke, who signals to her from a hiding spot behind a column. Speaking in a hushed tone, Luke informs her that Matthew was the man that Nick had killed on the bridge earlier in the day, handing her a photograph he had found of Walter and Matthew together as proof. He indicates that Sarita had become worried by his continued absence, suspecting that it was only a matter of time before Walter became concerned as well but wanting them to keep quiet about the truth. Clementine can agree or say that they should tell Walter, but Luke believes that it was best that they hide it, asking her to get Matthew's survival knife from her backpack and stow it somewhere that Walter wouldn't find it.
Luke says that he would go find Nick, but Nick finds the two of them first, making Luke pretend that everything was all right. Noticing Clementine's solemn expression, Nick presses Luke to tell him what the problem was. Clementine has the option of showing him the photograph or keeping it hidden. If she shows it to him, Nick panics, guiltily wanting to confess to Matthew's killing as Luke tries to get him to keep quiet. If she hides it from him, Nick begrudgingly accepts their assurances, going with Luke to go settle down elsewhere.
Clementine goes to her backpack next to the front door, but she opens it to find that Matthew's knife has already been taken. Behind her, she sees Walter out on the porch, hunched over the railing with the knife in his hands.
Chapter 11: In The Dark[]
Clementine hesitantly steps outside, guardedly approaching Walter from behind. Smoking a cigarette, Walter addresses her, stating he'd always liked this knife and that he knew Matthew was dead. Walter directly asks her if Nick was the one who had killed Matthew, having heard him discuss shooting someone at dinner.
Confess: Clementine either confesses that Matthew's death or remains silent, allowing Walter to infer their guilt. Clementine admits that Nick had been the one to shoot Matthew, angering Walter.
Deny: Clementine lies that they hadn't done anything. Walter presses her on how she had gotten Matthew's knife, leading her to vaguely state that she'd found it. Walter evidently does not believe her, his anger growing.
This next part is non-determinant and happens regardless of the player's choices.
Walter then asks her whether Nick was a good man, turning his anger into an accusation that Nick was a selfish, evil man.
Defend Nick: Clementine urges Walter to believe that Nick was a good guy, bringing up how he had saved her if she had fled the stream with him the previous week. (Determinant) Nick himself then comes out onto the porch as Walter laments to himself about how Matthew had always taken the unnecessary risk of going off alone despite objections that he could get killed out there. Clementine quietly tells Nick to confess what he had done to Matthew before Walter turns around, tightly gripping the knife. Walter echoes her request, struggling to remain calm in the face of his partner's killer. Nick stumbles out an apologetic explanation of what had happened as Walter uncontrollably brings the survival knife up, berating Nick for what he had done. Nick apologizes again, getting Walter to realize that he was raising the knife. Shaking his head, Walter tosses the knife away into the dirt.
Condemn Nick: Clementine either tells Walter what he wants to hear or remains silent. Nick himself then comes out onto the porch as Walter laments to himself about how Matthew had always taken the unnecessary risk of going off alone despite objections that he could get killed out there. Clementine quietly tells Nick to leave immediately, but Walter turns around and yells at Nick that "people like Matthew aren't coming back" with the way the world was now, demanding a confession from him. Disgusted, Walter tosses the knife away into the dirt, whereupon Nick denies having done anything.
This next part is non-determinant and happens regardless of the player's choices.
Outside the lodge, the wind turbine suddenly goes into overdrive at the onset of the storm, whirring so loudly that Kenny, Sarita, Luke and Carlos are drawn outside. Walter turns away from Kenny when he asks what was happening, but Kenny quickly turns his attention to the turbine, determining that they had to shut it down before it brought the walkers up to the lodge. Carlos and Nick return inside to get the weapons, then come back out to distribute them, Nick handing Clementine a pistol. Kenny then leads the group over to the turbine a short distance away from the lodge, Walter remaining behind on the porch.
At the turbine, however, the group hears a building transformer shut down elsewhere around the area. Luke volunteers to go with Kenny to repair it, who rejects Sarita's help to spare her the dangers and directs the others to get the turbine deactivated. After Kenny and Luke rush off toward the far side of the site, Carlos gets the turbine controls open, then struggles to see how they could turn it off. Clementine takes the initiative herself as the others keep watch for walkers, using her lighter to let her find the turnkey to enable the emergency shutdown switch.
Despite successfully shutting the turbine down, however, their efforts are for naught as a small herd of walkers arrive at the lodge. Carlos warns the others that they did not have a lot of ammunition to use. Nick says that they have to fight their way back to the lodge, firing along with Sarita at the nearest walkers. Clementine notices a walker approaching her, taking cover near a tree stump. She shoots it dead, (Determinant) then advances up closer to the lodge on her own. She is quickly forced to take cover when a cluster of walkers cuts her off, forcing her to take aim and shoot at them. Clementine runs out of bullets before she can kill them all, but Carlos rescues her, killing the remaining walkers from afar. He is attacked from behind by a stray walker, but he manages to get away and kill it, leaving behind his rifle beneath its corpse. He urges Clementine to run as he himself advances toward the lodge.
Clementine goes to follow, but she is cut off again by another stray walker. She scrambles to retrieve Carlos's fallen rifle, digging it out from under the corpse and hefting it up on the attacking walker. She fails to lift it high enough, making her only uselessly shoot it in the chest and knock her to the ground on the recoil. Searching for a solution, Clementine recovers the rifle and braces the stock of it against the ground and successfully manages to shoot it in the head on her second attempt. (Determinant) Clementine rushes away without a weapon.
She stops near the entrance of the lodge, finding Nick grappling with a walker and calling for help. Clementine sees Walter raising his pistol from the entrance of the lodge, conflict evident on his face.
If Clementine had defended Nick to Walter: Walter shoots, accurately hitting the walker in the head and saving Nick. Nick turns to face Walter, who somberly lowers his gun rather than shoot again. Walter, Nick and Clementine then rush to join Carlos and Sarita nearby, combining their remaining arms to fight the walkers.
If Clementine had condemned Nick to Walter: Walter quietly lowers the gun, allowing the walker to overwhelm Nick and bite into his neck, killing him in front of Clementine. Walter sadly turns away and runs over to join Carlos and Sarita nearby, Clementine following after a moment. Carlos asks where Nick was, leading Walter to ashamedly lie that he did not know. Clementine can either back up Walter's claim, say that the walkers got him or strike Walter in response.
This next part is non-determinant and happens regardless of the player's choices.
Carlos orders Clementine to get inside the lodge as he and the others shoot at the rest of the walkers.
Chapter 12: Caught In A Trap[]
Clementine enters the lodge to find Alvin, Rebecca and Sarah sheltering inside. Almost immediately, however, they hear what sounds like automatic gunfire outside of the lodge, surprising the group. The gunfire comes from the trees surrounding the area, cutting down the remaining walkers around Carlos and the others. Though the walkers are defeated, Carlos and the others are quickly approached from the trees by their saviors, headed up by Carver, having finally caught up to them after a weeklong pursuit. Out of ammo, Carlos and the others are forced to surrender as three other gunmen around Carver surround them. Carver asks where Rebecca was, but Carlos spits in his face in reply. Carver then punches Carlos in the face, drawing Sarah out of hiding from the lodge before Rebecca can stop her. Sarah gets to her father, joining him in the custody of Carver's group, who orders his gunmen to bring the group into the lodge to search for Rebecca. Walter recognizes Bonnie as one of his captors, who guiltily puts her head down and orders him to walk to the lodge.
Rebecca, Alvin and Clementine try to sneak their way around the lodge's common area to get upstairs, though Clementine is forced to get down when Bonnie and Johnny enter through the front door in search of them. With Alvin's help, Clementine manages to evade Johnny's search and make it upstairs to rejoin him and Rebecca. Bonnie assigns Johnny to cover the large window next to the common area as she escorts the captives inside, not looking at Walter's betrayed expression. Bonnie and Troy tie up a few of their captives as Carver surveys the interior of the lodge.
Impatient, Carver drags Carlos out from the line of captives and punches him again in front of Sarah, demanding to know where Rebecca was hiding. Carlos refuses to cooperate, leading Carver to rip his right arm back and break his forefinger. As Carlos screams in pain, Carver calls out for Rebecca to show herself, declaring that their "baby deserves to be raised in a place of safety," angering Alvin with the revelation of Rebecca's infidelity. Carver again calls out for her, Alvin and Clementine to show themselves, Sarah begging for Carver to show mercy. Alvin and Rebecca whisper worried thoughts to each other, Alvin wanting to surrender to protect Carlos and Rebecca wanting to escape to find Luke and Kenny. Clementine says that Carver would not kill a doctor, (Determinant) but Alvin says that he would do anything. (Determinant)
Carver breaks Carlos's middle finger in similar fashion as the urgency upstairs escalates. Rebecca wants to get Clementine out through the window upstairs so she can go get help- believing that Carver would kill Alvin if they surrendered- while Alvin is certain that Carver would not stop until all three of them were caught. Carlos defiantly calls for someone to shoot Carver, but Carver silences him with a knife against his throat. Alvin and Rebecca argue again over what to do as Carver urges Carlos to say goodbye to Sarah. Clementine can decide whether to surrender to protect Carlos or escape to try to find Luke and Kenny.
Surrender: Clementine either sides with Alvin or remains silent and gets Rebecca to see that they had no choice. Relenting, Rebecca stands up from the balcony upstairs and calls out to Carver, getting him to stop. The three of them go downstairs to surrender, Carver sarcastically offering a caress to Rebecca's face before she curses him out. Troy ties up Clementine and Alvin and puts them in line next to Carlos after Bonnie binds his hands, though Carver allows the heavily pregnant Rebecca to remain standing without being bound. Walter tries to appeal to Bonnie, but she rejects him. Carlos quietly asks Clementine to help him reset his fingers even though both of them are bound, but she cannot help him in front of Troy and Carver. Having gotten what he wanted, Carver prepares to leave and get them all back to his community.
Before they can leave, however, Johnny is suddenly shot in the head through the window. Sarita exclaims Kenny's name as Carver, Bonnie and Troy take cover. Bonnie cannot see Kenny outside, prompting Carver to go grab Walter and bring him over to the window next to Johnny's corpse. Walter sees the photo of himself and Matthew left behind on the ground, then he is quickly executed by Carver with a shot to the head. Sarah screams at the sight of Walter's death, and Bonnie appears similarly horrified by what Carver had done. Carver calls out to Kenny that he had not wanted to do that, but he would be forced to kill another one of his friends if he did not surrender. Kenny shoots at Carver in reply, but he misses, giving Carver the sign that Kenny would not surrender.
Unimpressed, Carver goes over to grab Alvin, taking pleasure in using Rebecca's husband as his next intended victim. Rebecca calls for Kenny to stop as Carver mockingly brings up Alvin having killed their mutual friend George, dragging him over beside Walter's corpse. Alvin tells Rebecca that he loves her. Clementine has the choice of whether to try to help Alvin, beg Carver to stop, call out for Kenny to stop or remain silent. If Clementine tries to help Alvin, she runs to get to Carver before Troy can react, but Carver disables her with a punch to the gut and then puts her in Alvin's place and prepares to shoot her. If Clementine calls out for Kenny to stop, Carver realizes that Clementine would make a more effective hostage, knocks over Alvin and quickly goes to get Clementine to put in Alvin's place, preparing to shoot her. If Clementine is taken hostage, Carver calls out his willingness to kill her as Clementine frightenedly waits to be killed. Alternatively, if Clementine begged Carver off or remained silent, Carver is suddenly shot from the side before he can shoot Alvin, falling to the ground motionless. Everyone in the lodge is stunned by Carver getting hit, but he then gets up clutching a bullet wound in his shoulder and quickly shoots Alvin in the head, killing him as Carlos and Rebecca despair. If Alvin is killed, Sarita calls out for Kenny to stop, leading Carlos to choose her as his next hostage and march her over to the window through which Kenny had last fired.
Before Carver can kill his next hostage, however, the front door of the lodge opens, Kenny walking in with his hands up. Bonnie receives Kenny and ties him up, putting him in line next to Sarita.
Escape: Clementine agrees to slip out through the window as Carver appears to stall. Alvin helps her out the window, dropping her down onto the platform outside the building. Clementine goes back to look through one of the boarded-up windows and finds that Carver has indeed relented on Carlos and has gone back to torturing him rather than preparing to kill him. (Determinant) Clementine rounds the lodge and sees Kenny posted up in the ski lift operator station. She moves closer to him, but is forced to stop when she notices Johnny inside the near window looking out for them. After Johnny turns around, Clementine manages to sneak past the window and get up to Kenny's position. She sees that Luke is not with him, though Kenny indicates that he does not care where Luke is after they had some sort of disagreement. (Determinant)
Back in the lodge, Alvin and Rebecca surrender to Carver to stop Carlos's torture. Kenny determines that they were on their own, asking for Clementine's input on whether they could fight them. As he lines up a shot on Johnny through the window, Clementine can offer her opinion. Regardless of whether she agrees with Kenny, however, he decides to take his chances and fires, hitting Johnny in the head. Angered, Carver grabs Walter and brings him over to the window next to Johnny's corpse. Walter sees the photo of himself and Matthew left behind on the ground, then he is quickly executed by Carver with a shot to the head. Sarah screams at the sight of Walter's death, and Kenny is horrified by the sudden death of his friend. Carver ducks back into cover before Kenny can fire again and calls out to Kenny that he had not wanted to do that, but he would be forced to kill another one of his friends if he did not surrender. Kenny shoots at Carver in reply, but he misses, giving Carver the sign that Kenny would not surrender. Kenny shoots at Carver twice in reply, but he misses both, giving Carver the sign that Kenny would not surrender.
Unimpressed, Carver goes back to grab another hostage. Clementine spots a different sniping position overlooking the front entrance to the lodge, getting Kenny to move there undetected. Carver takes pleasure in selecting Alvin as his next intended victim, dragging him over to the same window over Rebecca's protests. From their new position, they watch as Carver moves Alvin over to the same window, holding him in a way that makes it difficult for Kenny to line up an accurate shot without hitting Alvin. Kenny asks for Clementine's advice on what to do as he prepares to shoot, giving her the chance to encourage him, stop him or remain silent. If Clementine encourages Kenny to shoot or remains silent, Kenny fires through the window, hitting Carver from the side and making him fall to the ground motionless. Everyone in the lodge is stunned by Carver getting hit, (Determinant) but he then gets up clutching a bullet wound in his shoulder. (Determinant) As Kenny tries to reload his rifle, (Determinant) Carver quickly shoots Alvin in the head as Carlos and Rebecca despair. (Determinant) Carver then grabs Sarita and brings her over to the newly broken window, (Determinant) staring straight at Kenny and daring him to shoot. (Determinant) Alternatively, if Clementine stops Kenny from shooting, she warns him that Carver would keep killing their friends one by one, telling him to think about Sarita.
After Sarita is either taken hostage or Clementine stops Kenny from shooting, Kenny finally accepts defeat and drops his rifle, declaring that he and Clementine would surrender. Bonnie kicks open the front door to receive them and tie them up, then puts them both in line with the other hostages.
This next part is non-determinant and happens regardless of the player's choices.
All of the captives secured, Carver demands to know where Luke was. When none of the survivors offer an answer, Carver decides that Luke had abandoned them as he'd long suspected he would. He berates Carlos and the others for having followed Luke and bringing them all to this situation. Carver then goes over to Rebecca to declare that they would be returning home as a family, either drawing an ashamed reaction from her and a furious glare from Alvin or more sobs from Rebecca depending on whether or not Alvin was killed. Satisfied that their business was done, Carver directs Bonnie and Troy to collect the hostages and get them moving to return to their home. One by one, the hostages are brought to their feet and towed away, Clementine the last to be taken by Bonnie.

Impacts[]
This list shows the narrative consequences affected by choices from previous episodes of Season 1 and 2.
Season 1[]
- If you helped Pete in the previous episode and you choose to respond "Cutting it off won't work" when Pete asks for the saw, Clementine can say "I knew someone who tried it", this is referring to Lee if you amputated his arm in "No Time Left".
- If you helped Nick in the previous episode and you choose to respond "I knew someone like you" when talking to his drunk self, Clementine will mention someone who "always screwed up too", most likely referring to Ben.
- If Clementine decides to train Sarah to shoot a gun, she will tell her what Lee told Clementine during her gun training in "Long Road Ahead".
- If you respond with "A woman in our group" to Alvin while discussing Nick's decision to kill Matthew, Clementine will talk about Lilly killing Carley/Doug and her fate afterward in "Long Road Ahead".
- Kenny will mention that Lee was a "hell of a guy" or they "had their differences" depending on whether Kenny went with Lee to look for Clementine in "Around Every Corner".
- Kenny will mention the scene where he went missing from Lee's group, whether it being the dark room, or the infested alleyway.
- Kenny will either mention that Lee "took care" of Duck for him, if Lee chose to shoot Duck or that Lee "helped him do the right thing" if Lee makes Kenny shoot Duck in "Long Road Ahead" or if Lee left Duck to reanimate, Kenny will say "he was there for me".
Season 2[]
- Depending on if you save Pete or Nick, this episode will begin in different places: a truck with Pete, or a shed with Nick.
- Additionally, if you saved Pete in "All That Remains", you will have the option to give him water from Clementine's backpack, however, if you gave the water to Victor, you will have none left to give to Pete.
- Nick will tell Clementine the backstory about his mother's death and his relationship with Luke in different places depending on whether you saved him or Pete at the river. If you saved Nick, he will tell her the story when they're both locked in the shed at the beginning of the episode. If you saved Pete instead, he will tell the story if you approach him after crossing the bridge.
- If you asked Alvin for help in the previous episode, Rebecca will mention the event of that while she apologizes to Clementine.
- The conversation following Clementine and Sarah taking pictures of each other differs depending on the relationship they established in "All That Remains". If you agreed to be friends with her, she will show Clementine a pistol she found under the house and Clementine will have the option of teaching her how to use it. If you did not, that interaction doesn't occur.
- Also when Sarah tells Carlos about Carver seeing her picture and if you state "You told me to distract her", she will have different lines depending if you agreed to be friends with her or not.
- If Clementine picked up the gold watch from the cabin in "All That Remains", you will have the option to either give it to Nick when he realises he didn't have it, or keep hold of it. Keeping hold of the watch will bring no benefits and it will disappear from the player's inventory at the end of the episode.
- If Clementine did not ask Rebecca about her baby's father in the last episode, she will admit to the possibility of her baby not being Alvin's when spoken to at the resort.

- When Clementine is trying to pull her hammer out of the walker's head, her hammer moves out of the area it pierced.
- Just like in the previous episode where Nick is not holding his rifle when storming off to the stream, Nick is not carrying his rifle while crossing the bridge.
- If Clementine chose to hug Kenny, the brim of Clementine's hat goes through his arm.

- Carlos's gun changes from a Beretta 92FS Inox to a Glock 17 between scenes during the walker ambush, though this may have just been because he used different guns.
