They hastily speed away as Nate peruses them in his truck. Eddie hands Wyatt a gun to shoot at the truck with, and Wyatt can determinately shoot out a front headlight, either way Nate takes a different road. Eddie also goes off-road and turns off the headlights to avoid being seen. They joke around a bit to ease the tension and Eddie asks Wyatt to look for some weed in the glovebox. Wyatt finds the ammo Eddie 'lost' last week, but no weed, and reloads the revolver. Eddie tells Wyatt a story about his ex-girlfriend's dad getting peed on at a circus when he accidentally hits a figure in the road. Neither of them are sure if the figure was living or a lurker but Eddie's pretty sure he was alive. They agree that one of them should go out there to help them, Eddie wants to play a game of rock, paper, scissors to decide which Wyatt can agree or refuse to. (Wyatt's Story)

Wyatt quickly starts the car and is forced to leave his friend behind.
- If Wyatt loses the game, he'll go out into the fog with the gun and slowly approach the survivor as he passes numerous objects and belongings. He finds the crippled survivor who's the police officer that abandoned the bus in Vince's Story. He starts to drag Clyde back to the car when a lurker approaches. After shooting it, Wyatt can decide to continue helping Clyde or go back alone. Either way, Wyatt slowly makes his way through the fog, shooting lurkers as they approach from the trees. As he gets closer, Nate's truck pulls up next to the car and a struggle between him and Eddie ensues. Eddie is then forced to abandon his friend as Nate takes several shots at the car. Wyatt pauses for a moment before running away, leaving the police officer. At some point Vince saves his life.

He then returned to the only place that made sense to him, the LaRouche house where he's discovered that his sister has returned. Sarah explains that she's not his sister. He tells her she can learn to be. Sarah quickly stabs Sebastian in the stomach with a knife and rushes upstairs as he pulls it out.

The three of them come across a teacher, David Parker, who's trapped in a modified bear trap and his students, Travis and Ben Paul trying to help him.

He moves a wardrobe and finds a hidden room with Mark on the floor missing both legs and hooked up to morphine. Mark painfully urges Lee to not eat dinner so Lee rushes downstairs either just in time or too late to stop Clementine from eating human meat. The group asks what's going on and Lee reveals that they're eating human flesh. Brenda confirms this and the brothers hold the group hostage. Mark drags himself downstairs pleading for help and Lee is knocked out. (Starved For Help)

Kenny believes he's died and will turn soon so begs Lee to help put him down. Lee can either help Lilly try to revive her father or hold her back. Either way Kenny uses a heavy salt lick to crush Larry's head. Lee searches his body for coins which he uses to unscrew a grate from the ventilation shaft. Clementine is small enough to crawl through and unlocks the door from the other side. Lee and Kenny sneak out together and cooperate depending on if Lee helped. They sneak up on Danny who keeps watch and hide in a stall when Andy shows up. Lee peeks out and watches Danny before eventually finding a rifle in his face. Lee grabs the gun and Kenny or Lilly will help with the fight. Danny's foot is caught in a bear trap and Lee can either spare him or impale him with a pitchfork which Clementine will witness. Outside Ben and Carley/Doug arrive because of the group's absence. In the house Brenda holds Katjaa at gun point. Lee tries to talk her down as she backs up the stairs towards a zombified Mark. Mark bites her on the neck and she lets go of Katjaa. Outside Andy holds a gun to Duck's head and shoots Kenny in the side. Carley/Doug distract Andy as Lee tackles him to the ground and they fight. Lee gets the upper hand and repeatedly punches Andy in the face. After stopping, Andy urges Lee to continue fighting. Lee can either spare Andy, shoot him or kick him into the electric fence.

That night the two groups gather around a campfire. Negan gives his jacket to Amber to keep her warm. The other leader tells Negan that he can "try out the merchandise" if he lets him know. Because it's a whole new world so rape's fine. Negan threatens the man which causes him to shove Negan into the surrounding barbed wire leaving a scar on his left side. Negan quickly grabs his baseball bat and beats the guy around the head with it, startling all the spectators. He continues beating him until his eye pops out. Negan apologises and goes to calm down by wrapping his bat in the barbed wire while Dwight stops anybody from leaving. Negan explains to the group how so many people died around him early on, but his bat, Lucille, is what has protected him and kept him going. John stands up to Negan and asks how he expects anybody to fall in line after what he just did. Their new leader tells him "Here's Negan!" (Here's Negan)

He tells Chris and Julie that he tossed the gun and a hammer saved his life. Julie tells him they're scared and Tyreese promises her that he'll never leave her and Chris alone together which Julie finds funny. (Tyreese Special)
- Lee and Kenny go on a supply run in downtown Macon which has been destroyed. They come across a screaming woman who has walkers hanging all over her and either put her out of her misery or leave her to get devoured and buy them more time to loot the Pharmacy. While inside the store, walkers break in and Kenny can save or not help Lee depending on their relationship. They return to the Traveller Motel which is riddled with arrows and bullet holes from recent Save-Lots Bandit attacks. Kenny brings up leaving in the RV he got working again which sparks another argument among the group. Lilly reveals that somebody in the group has been stealing their supplies and the number of people she feels she can trust grows smaller every day before forcing everybody out of her room. Kenny is pissed that he's always being made out to look like the villain and leaves. If Carley is alive, she will try to convince Lee to reveal his past as a felon to the group so they hear his side first before Lilly reveals it. Lee can agree to do this and mostly everybody will be understanding, Kenny's response is determined on his relationship with Lee after killing Larry. Lee returns to Lilly and she shows Lee evidence of theft, a broken flashlight she found discarded. Lee agrees to search for clues on who might be stealing from them. Duck who was eavesdropping, excitedly decides to helps with the mystery which Lee reluctantly goes along with. Lee finds an X written with pink chalk marked on a wall near where the flashlight was broken, evidenced by the shards of glass. Duck finds pink chalk dust underneath a dumpster so Lee leaves the perimeter and finds a bag of medicine stashed inside a grate outside the walls. (Long Road Ahead)
- Lee reports his findings back to Lilly who decides to line everybody up and find out who's responsible. But before she can, Jake and the Save-Lots break in and hold the survivors at gun point for not receiving their drugs. Lee goes outside and distracts the bandits while Lilly climbs onto the roof. After Lee gets his attention, Lilly shoots Jake in the head. The survivors scramble for cover while Lee and Carley/Doug finish off the rest. Gary/Drew escapes and signals a large group of bandits to invade the Motel. Lee covers the survivors so they can get to safety inside the RV. Katjaa and Duck are attacked by a walker which knocks them over and splits open Katjaa's head. Kenny rushes his family to safety and Lilly, seeing that the Motel is overrun, quickly joins the group. They hastily drive through the barricades and away from Macon. (Long Road Ahead)
- Hours later Lilly begins questioning the group on who was stealing their supplies. If Doug is alive she'll turn on Ben. If Carley is alive then she theorises that her and Ben were working together to smuggle the drugs. Kenny crashes into a walker which gets stuck in the RV's wheels and has to stop the vehicle. Lilly decides to deal with the matter immediately and orders everybody outside. She wildly throws the blame onto Ben and Carley (determinant) and orders them to confess, adamant that only they could have done it. Kenny refuses to get involved before he finishes dealing with the trapped walker. Carley determinately calls Lilly out on her bullshit and calls her a scared little girl. Kenny kills the walker and joins the conversation only for everybody to be silenced by a gunshot, Lilly either murders Carley in cold blood or goes to shoot Ben only to accidentally kill Doug who saves him. Lee pins her against the RV and the group decides what to do with her. Kenny votes to leave her on the side of the road which Lee can agree to or decide to bring her with them where she is tied up and kept on watch. Katjaa calls Lee up to the cabin and reveals that Duck had been bitten during the raid. They stick to their plan of heading to the coast and hope that somebody in Savannah has found a cure. Lee has no comfort for Clementine after what she saw so they talk for a while and eventually fall asleep. (Long Road Ahead)

Day 103
- Lee wakes up from a nightmare and Kenny stops the RV in front of a derailed freight train which blocks the road. Lee and Ben explore the train and find a survivor has been living in one of the boxcars recently. Lee finds a few wrenches in the second door compartment of the engine car. When he and Ben search the engine car they find a long dead engineer and discover that the train is still operational. Kenny familiarizes himself with the controls and Lee goes to find a pencil to outline the indentations to start the train from a missing page in a notepad. Lee finds the pencil in the RV and if Lilly is still with them she'll have freed herself of her bonds and will push Lee out the RV before driving away with it, abandoning the group without a backup vehicle. Lee figures out how to start the train but the derailed boxcar is still attached. Lee successfully detaches it and discovers it's owner has returned. The homeless man introduces himself as Chuck and asks if Lee had stole anything from them which he can answer honestly or lie. Chuck has already met the rest of the group and joins them to play guitar. The train is ready to move so Kenny calls everyone to board and they slowly start making their way down the track towards Savannah. (Long Road Ahead)
- Later, Katjaa asks Lee to get Kenny to stop the train. Kenny refuses and insists that Duck isn't going to die because he's not like the other infected. Lee can act aggressive, passively state facts or try to sympathise with Kenny's pain. Kenny will still refuse and takes a predatory posture. Lee can avoid the confrontation and peacefully convince him to stop the train or the two can fight it out. Either way Kenny stops the train and the group disembark. Katjaa and determinately Kenny take their deathly sick son into the woods to be put down. Lee tries to explain to Clementine what is going on when a gunshot interrupts them followed by Kenny's scream if he joined Katjaa. In the woods, Lee finds that Katjaa has killed herself and Duck sits against a tree, too weak to react to his mother's death. Lee can either take it upon himself to end Duck's suffering, convince Kenny to do it himself or the group can leave him to turn. (Long Road Ahead)

Chad responds by asking why Lilly didn't do her job and strikes her across the face. He begins to choke her out when Josh tackles him out of nowhere and throws him against a tree. He checks on Lilly before going back to Chad who pleads for mercy and repeatedly slamming his head into the tree before the back of it caves in and Lilly stops him. Bob tends to Lilly's injuries while Simmons, Hennessey and Alice Burnside are deciding what to do with Josh.

They drive deeper into town and find a lot of residents looking shell-shocked and not too friendly. Bob likes the setup they have and asks about the big field in the middle of the town. Martínez says it used to be a dirt racetrack which their leader banned due to noise. They pull up in the town square next to a courthouse and wait for five minutes in a warm meeting room before they hear heavy footsteps coming towards them. Three men wait by the doorway with suspicious smiles. The man in the middle introduces himself as Philip Blake and his bodyguards as Bruce and Gabe.

Residents keep to themselves and nobody offers a greeting as they pass through the entrance to the town. They pass three old men sitting around a barrel outside the Feed & Seed store. Josh greets them and one of the men asks if they're new. Josh says they got in last night and the old men laugh at an inside joke. The man tells Josh to keep an eye on his woman so Josh takes Lilly's hand. Inside the store a man in a wheelchair named Davy sits at the counter with two armed guards at his side. Josh tells him they found some supplies at the Walmart with Martínez and if they could have some of those. Davy tells him that's between them and Martínez. The three men begin to stare at Lilly. Josh offers a $300 watch but Davy only offers $50 worth of rations causing Josh to asks for more. Sam "the Butcher" enters and asks what the problem is. Davy tells him that the two were just leaving. Sam advises Josh that he should work to get food, he then looks at Lilly and implies that she should sell her body. Lilly is struck with fear. Josh stays calm and accepts Davy's $50 offer before taking their leave. Outside, they hear the scream of a teenager stuck in the fence and covered with bite wounds. Philip Blake euthanizes the boy with no emotion. (The Road to Woodbury)

The couple hears gunfire and three walkers burst in. Josh realizes he left his gun in his coat and manages to kill one before Martínez orders them both to get on the floor from outside. They get down as bullets erupt out of the wall and kill the remaining walkers. He asks if they're alright before he and his men rush back to the town. (The Road to Woodbury)
- Back in Woodbury, a fight breaks out between Dean Gorman and Johnny Pruitt, after Johnny insulted the Augusta state Football team outside the food centre. The twenty spectators start to cheer it on due to the town's lack of entertainment. Dean kicks the leg out from under Johnny and gains the upper hand until Johnny kicks him in the groin. Johnny then gets on top of Dean and starts repeatedly punching him in the face. The crowd goes wild. Martínez is about to break up the fight but Philip stops him. The Governor starts looking at the spectators, observing every excited face. Johnny starts to choke out Dean so the Governor allows Martínez to break it up. One of the guards goes to get Stevens. The Governor tells Martínez that he has an idea for what to do with the guardsmen. Meanwhile, the four remaining National Guardsmen whisper to each other in a makeshift holding cell below the racetrack. Manning tells Trey Barker that his plan to escape wont work, but Stinson reluctantly agrees to play dead so Barker can tackle Philip when he comes in from the immediate left of the door where he is chained to the wall. The Governor tells Bob about the soldiers and his plan to make them gladiators in the arena. He opens the cell door and sees Stinson supposedly dead on the floor. He is about to shoot him when Barker tackles Blake. Philip falls to the floor and drops his pistol. Barker claws and bites the Governor's ankles whilst the other three guardsmen try to break free. Philip manages to grab the pistol and shoots Barker several times in the head. The others plead for their lives and Philip spares them. He asks Bob to clean up the place and bring Barker's body to the infirmary. (The Road to Woodbury)

Day 146
- At night, Megan has sex with a guard who's name she forgot. It's either Denny or Daniel and the state of the apartment is disgusting. She thinks about Lilly and how she ended their friendship the other day because Lilly disapproved of her choices. They guy finishes and immediately falls asleep. Megan gets up, looks out the window and sees her former best friend and Josh sneaking out of the town. She cries. Josh and Lilly sneak out to look for their own supplies. They pass a summerhouse with a mailbox that reads L. Hunt. They go inside some of the houses and find a treasure trove of supplies. Lilly says they could live her but Josh isn't sure yet. Neither of them realise that most of the backyards lead to a steep canyon filled with a herd of walkers, one hundred strong who are starting to slowly climb up the slope. (The Road to Woodbury)

Day 147
- Lilly and Josh sit and talk in one of the houses. Lilly feels like she's been using Josh for protection and doesn't truly share the same feelings as he does. She decides to tell him how she really feels but Josh doesn't understand. The walkers overrun the backyard but neither of them realize. They continue talking for a while until Josh sees the herd's reflection in a family photo. They get up to escape, however more come in from the entrance. They head up a spiral staircase which the walkers manage to clumsily climb on their hands and knees. Thinking fast, Josh goes into the bathroom and grabs a bottle of rubbing alcohol. They go into one of the bedrooms which has an oak tree branch close to the window. Josh douses the room in the liquid and helps Lilly climb out onto the tree. He uses his lighter to set the room ablaze, burning the walkers and spreading throughout the house. They climb down from the tree and grab their duffel-bag of supplies from the garage. They walk back to Woodbury without saying a word. Eventually Josh brings the topic back up and gets angry. He swings open the gate to Woodbury without being desecrate and they argue some more past the food centre. Sam calls out to Josh and asks him what's in the bag. Josh wont tell him anything specific. Sam informs him that he hasn't covered his debt yet, although Josh has been working for forty-eight hours. Sam tries to snatch the bag off Josh and people start looking. Sam offers to wipe the debt clean if Josh gives him the bag but Josh refuses and walks away. Sam goes for the duffel again but Josh shoves him over and continues walking. The Butcher pulls a pistol out of his back pocket and shoots Josh in the back of the head. Lilly breaks down and cradles Josh's head in her arms while screaming for a doctor. As Josh's brain shuts down, he tells his sister, Alicia, to close the window and dies. Sam drags Lilly away from the body and points his gun to her head. She kicks him in the groin and claws at his face. Sam raises the gun when Martínez and his men arrive. Martínez pounces on Sam and they wrestle with his carbine. Sam slams Martínez into the front of the food centre knocking over the old men's barrel. Martínez then throws Sam through the front of the store window and delivers several hard punches to his face knocking him unconscious. The crowd roars for Martínez. The Governor arrives and asks to know what happened. (The Road to Woodbury)
- Shortly after, Bob comforts Lilly and tells her Josh felt no pain. Doctor Stevens and Alice inspect Lilly's wounds and are introduced by Bob. Stevens tells Lilly that if she ever needs someone to talk to she can come to them in the infirmary. Bob gently says they need to move the body. He gets no response, so they signal two of his tavern friends with a stretcher. Lilly screams at them to get away. The Governor says they can move the body later and tells Gabe to throw Sam in a cell with the guardsmen. He tells Bruce to take everyone to the square for a town hall meeting. In a gazebo the Governor announces that the racetrack will be their new "Greek Theatre". And if anyone breaks the new law they're going to fight in the arena, no exceptions. The crowd cheers. Lilly lets Bob take away Josh's body. Bob takes Lilly back home and organizes burial arrangements with Stevens. (The Road to Woodbury)
- Later, Bob stumbles into the arena where the town has gathered in the stalls and watches through a chain-link fence. Sam the Butcher stands in the field, semi nude wielding a wooden bat sporting nails. He fights against Stinson in soaked camo-pants with a machete. Sam gets the upper hand and punctures Stinson's left pectoral and cheek. Bob feels sick and drinks some whiskey until he can look back. Stinson is down and stops moving. Sam faces the crowd and soaks in the cheers and applause. Stinson makes a comeback and quickly sinks the machete into Sam's neck, almost decapitating him. The crowd goes wild. Lilly cries on the spot of the murder and is approached by Stevens. They start talking and take a walk around town. They discuss the Governor and various dictators throughout history, and how Philip Blake is a necessary evil for the town, like some sort of side effect of the plague. (The Road to Woodbury)

Day 148
- Lilly, Bob, Stevens, Alice, Megan and one of Josh's work friends, Calvin Deets attend his funeral. Lilly tries to say a few words but breaks down into tears. Bob finishes by saying the Trinity and ending with an Amen. Megan wants to say something to Lilly but can't bring herself to and lets Bob escort her home. Alice asks Stevens if he can smell the herd of over fifty biters attracted to the sound of the arena fight. Stevens assures her that Martínez and his men are keeping track of it and setting up defenses. Bob stays with Lilly for a while, he makes her food and tucks her in to bed. Half asleep, Lilly asks him why he wont leave Woodbury with her and tells him that the Governor has a grip on him which he denies. Somebody knocks the door, Lilly tries to stay awake long enough to see who it is. Philip enters and tells Lilly she's had a long day before she drifts off to sleep. The Governor and Bob head towards Martínez on Main Street as the heard arrives. They reach the wall and Philip tells Travis to drive his truck up against it and await further orders. Philip orders Martínez not to open fire immediately. He barks at Stevens through a walkie-talkie to bring Stinson to the north wall. Stevens objects because the guardsman is still recovering from blood loss, but reluctantly complies anyway. The guards open the gate and Travis backs the truck through it with Stinson now inside. Stinson is devoured by the approaching herd of walkers and around three dozen are collected inside the vehicle. The remaining biters are shot by Martínez's crew. (The Road to Woodbury)

She calls him a lunatic and Shane runs into the woods in tears. Rick goes after him to calm him down but Shane pulls his gun on him. He rambles on about how he has nobody left in the world except Lori, and Rick coming back has ruined any chances he had with her. Before Shane can pull the trigger he is shot through the neck by Carl. He chokes on his own blood and collapses into the snow. Carl tells his father that it's not the same as shooting the dead ones, Rick embraces him and says it never should be. (Issue 6)

They decide to stay the night in the same house to stay safe. Rick and Tyreese search for roamers while the rest of the group shelters in the first room.

Day 165
- On New Years Eve, Philip locks himself in his apartment and celebrates alone with Penny and an expensive French champagne. He feeds Penny a human kidney and pops the champagne. He doesn't know if it actually is New Years but it may as well be. He remembers looking forward to New Years for months in the old days, he and his friends would get a whole pig delivered on the 30th and start slow-roasting it behind his parents' place. They'd have a two-day feast and play the Clinch Mountain Boys all night and Philip would smoke good weed and get laid. He then stops himself and realizes he can't remember if Philip used to do this or Brian. He takes a sip from the bottle and reassures himself that he's Philip Blake "the Governor" but then breaks down and starts to cry. Brian cries for Penny's death and sees Philip's death scene behind his eyes. He hears a knock at his door and snaps out of it. Philip opens it expecting one of his henchmen but finds Megan Lafferty instead. She asks if he'd like some company so he invites her inside for a drink. She tells him Duane said she could find some weed here and proposes a trade. (The Road to Woodbury)
- Later that night the pair have sex and Philip shows almost no emotion in the act. While painfully riding him in his La-Z-Boy recliner, Megan's peripheral attention is drawn to the two-dozen rectangular objects lined up on the wall behind her which she almost mistakes for TV sets before she notices the bubbling sound. Annoyed, Philip turns on a battery-operated camp lantern and reveals the aquariums filled with severed heads. Megan slips off him in shock and lies in terror on the floor. Philip angrily tells her that he hasn't finished and forces himself onto her as she stares in horror at the zombified faces. As he finishes she realizes the face staring back at her in the last tank on the left is that of her old boyfriend, Scott Moon. Philip orders her to clean herself up in the bathroom and tells her that she's in a relationship with Bob Stookey now. And if she says anything about this, he'll put her head in the tank next to Scott. Megan leaves and Philip sits there for a while staring at the tanks and feeling empty. Suddenly Brian surfaces from within him and he starts to feel sick and terrified about what he's just done. He roars vomit up onto the floor and wants to run away from the twitching heads, but forces himself to stare at them and be strong. (The Road to Woodbury)
- Megan goes to Bob's apartment on the west side of town and breaks down crying. She tells him she found Scott dead in the Governor's place to which Bob asks what she was doing there. He gets her a glass of water and puts her to bed. They sleep together but don't come remotely close to having sex, much to Bob's relief. He does dream, however, about doing the act on a desert island and feels a sense of peace wash over him. (The Road to Woodbury)
