"The Calm Before"

In the woods, Alek, alongside Ozzy and D.J., helps clear the road to keep the route to the Kingdom safe for the other communities. Later, he accompanies the others to the site where Hilde was ambushed. The group decides to split up, with Alek and his group leaving to patrol the Kingdom's outskirts.

Later, he, Ozzy, and D.J. find the tied up residents surrounded by several Whisperers in a stable. They rush inside in an act of bravery and start attacking them, giving the group a chance to fight back. In the middle of the chaos, Alpha arrives and the group is subdued and then killed, only leaving Siddiq alive as a witness. Later, Alpha puts Alek's decapitated head on one of the several pikes used for the Whisperers' border.

The next day, Daryl, Michonne, Carol, Siddiq, and Yumiko find the border and watch in horror at the victims, a reanimated Alek being among them. 

Later, in the Kingdom, Siddiq delivers the tragic news to the crowd, tells them how brave everyone was in their final moments and how they all fought back. He encourages everyone to remember the fallen as brave heroes and to honor them.
