Season 2[]
"Au Revoir Les Enfants"[]
Akila leads Fallou, Stéphane Codron, and Nadine to an abandoned mental hospital that may have some supplies that they can find. Akila tends to their horses, telling Fallou that her horse is showing signs of getting dehydrated. Akila explains that she knows a lot about horses from her experiences with mules because her father was a farmer in Algeria before their family emigrated to France. Akila's two brothers are both dead and she has lost track of her sister Djamila. Fallou reveals that he had come on his own from Cameroon and when the hungry ones came, Fallou had no one to lose.
Stéphane leads Fallou inside, leaving the women alone with the horses out of concern that it might be dangerous inside, teasing the other man about love at first sight. They find an old woman walker in a wheelchair and more walkers tied to beds in the infirmary, causing Stéphane to quip that French healthcare is the best in the world. Fallou goes to search down the hall as Stéphane searches the infirmary alone, taking a cross necklace from one of the walkers.
Fallou calls for Stéphane who finds his friend held captive by two Power of the Living Guerriers in the hallway while a third one disarms Stéphane from behind. Sabine reveals herself, demanding to know where the plane is. Stéphane tries to get Sabine to let it go as the cause is dead, but Sabine reveals that the cause is not dead because Jacinta will see the prophecy fulfilled. Fallou states that Daryl's Group is gone by now, but Sabine states that they have been watching, and no plane has flown in the last 2 days. Although Fallou insists that they don't know where it is because Daryl and the others never said, Sabine suspects that Stéphane does know and threatens to kill Fallou if he doesn't talk. Suddenly, the two Guerriers holding Fallou captive are shot from behind with arrows by Akila, forcing Sabine to flee as Stéphane overpowers the third Guerrier and stabs him to death with the bayonet on the man's Flintlock Pistol. Taking a grenade from the dead man, Stéphane states that they must warn Daryl, and he actually does know where the plane is.
After the battle at the race track, Daryl's group and Akila drive through Paris for the last time in a truck and on a motorcycle, crossing a bridge with the Eiffel Tower in the background and driving past the Arc de Triomphe which is still mostly intact, although partially reclaimed by nature. The group stops at an abandoned farm where Fallou tells the others that a couple that he met at the Demimonde will be there by sundown and they can head out in the morning. The couple can help them get to England where Daryl and Carol might be able to find a way across the Atlantic Ocean to America. Carol asks if they speak English, and Fallou tells her that they're from Scotland, causing Stéphane to quip that they don't then, making everyone laugh.
Fallou and Akila work on the truck together, and Fallou tells her that England it's supposed to be better in England, but Akila went to London when she was little, and the food is terrible. Fallou invites Akila to go with them, but she likes Paris where something special survives and Akila still hopes to find her sister Djamila. Angus and Fiona enter and Fallou introduces them to the rest of the group. Stéphane shows the couple the food and wine that they have to get through the checkpoint which the couple confirms will be more than enough, Angus taking one of the bottles to celebrate.
Collecting more wood together, Akila tells Fallou that his story made her sad, and she asks what happened after he saved the child. Fallou tells her that the family moved away, and he used their furniture for firewood, and it got him through the winter. Akila kisses him, telling Fallou that it's a goodbye because she'll be too shy to do it tomorrow. Fallou again asks Akila to come with them, but she isn't willing to go without her sister and the two kiss again, this time more passionately.
The next day, the group drives to the Chunnel, a 50 kilometer underwater tunnel leading to England which took Angus and Fiona about 9 hours to walk on their way to France. Carol and Akila hug goodbye, and Akila promises that they'll be here thinking of them. After a moment, Fallou says his goodbyes to the group. Fallou knows that they'll make it, and he now has a reason to stay in France thanks to Akila. Stéphane and Fallou hug and Stéphane teases his friend that he'd warned him. Fallou hugs Daryl goodbye, calling them brothers-in-arms which Stéphane translates for Daryl whose French is now good enough to have guessed as much. Holding hands, Fallou and Akila watch as their friends leave with Daryl taking one last look back at them and at France before he enters the tunnel.
