Plot

Clementine and Amos are working on fixing the roof from the previous night, when Left comes to delivers them breakfast. During a conversation, Clementine's leg breaks through the roof. Later, Clementine chops firewood, when Ricca approaches her and invites her to ride on the snowmobile. Clementine, Amos, and Ricca ride around on the snowmobile and come to a stop near the woods. Amos begins talking about life on the mountains. Ricca opens up about her religion as a Sephardic Jew. Ricca throws a snowball at Clementine, which prompts Clem to attack her. After calming down, they head back to the cabin. Ricca asks about the twin's plane and then Clementine asks about what happened last winter, for which Right doesn't answer. Later that night, Clementine and Amos are learning to read.

In the morning, while doing numerous tasks, Clementine throws an ax at the ground, near Right, claiming she heard a walker, despite the fact that there a not walkers in sight. At night, Clementine is sitting by herself, when she is joined by Ricca, who is smoking a cigarette. She tells her she is needed inside, where she learns Amos has a fever.

The next morning, with Amos out of commission, Clementine and Ricca go to take a portable generator to the lift, however the bridge to take them to the lift is broken. Ricca, frustrated, reveals she came to the mountains to learn to build house. Clementine comes up with the idea of lowering the generator down the chasm and pulling it back up from the other side. While lowering the generator, it begins to fall, pulling Ricca down with it. Clementine tries to pull her up, but her struggling causes her to kick Clementine in the nose and drop her. Clementine calls down to Ricca, but gets no answer. She then steps toward the edge of the chasm.
