"Keeping Her Alive"[]
At Lowcountry Landing, Strand, while flicking through channels looking for June, Dwight and Sherry, picks up a transmission by Ada, Della, and Sara who are looking for Madison and who are checking out the coordinates that Madison gave. Tracy's never heard the voices before, but Strand dismisses it as they will be long gone by the time that the people on the radio catch up with them.
After being thrown out of a truck by Daniel, a large herd moves in on the unarmed Strand who attempts to flee, but he quickly becomes surrounded by more and more walkers from all directions. As Strand struggles to evade them, one of the walkers takes him to the ground. Suddenly, Al's old SWAT van drives up and guns down most of the herd before Ada stabs the walker pinning Strand down with a blade attachment similar to the blades on Alicia's Prosthetic Arm. Strand asks who Ada is, having thought that she was Alicia at first, which Ada tells him she gets a lot. As the rest of the herd approaches, Ada helps Strand to his feet and he asks how many people are with her after seeing Della and Sara at the back of the SWAT van, but Ada tells him to save the introductions for inside. The four quickly leave in the SWAT van before the walkers can reach them.
On the road, Sara scans through the radio channels while Della worries that they're sitting ducks until they get the SWAT van's guns reloaded. Sara finds nothing and determines that Troy has no idea that they're here for now. In the back, Strand looks around at the equipment hanging on the van's walls and the similar clothing and weaponry to Alicia that Ada is wearing. Strand comments that the last time that he was in the SWAT van, he was with someone who Strand thought that he'd never see again. Ada reveals that she already knows, having been told by Alicia before Troy had killed her. All three women knew Alicia who had passed through all of their lives. Alicia's Followers have taken up her cause, dressing like her, keeping Alicia alive and doing for other people what Alicia did for them. Della's settlement was under siege from bandits when Alicia passed through and made them regret trying to shake them down and she had found antibiotics to treat Sara's pneumonia.
Strand asks about Ada who realizes that Strand doesn't remember her. Ada explains that she had spoken to Strand years ago back in Texas when Ada was still a kid, but she guesses that Strand didn't get a look at her face because he was all the way up on the roof at the time. Strand realizes that Ada is one of the people who had interviewed to enter the Tower and were rejected by Strand. Ada confirms it, stating that she was with her dad at the time, Strand turned them away, and she thought that they were going to die because of it. Ada and her father couldn't find food or water that wasn't contaminated, and they didn't have a place to shelter when the winds brought the bad air in. However, they then received Alicia's message to come to the Tower and help to build it into something better. However, when they got to the Tower, they found it on fire and destroyed and Strand admits that he should've left it in a better state. Ada and her father were part of dozens of survivors who had responded to Alicia's message and who watched it burn thinking that they were going to die before a figure emerged on the horizon. Strand realizes that Alicia had gone back to the Tower after she had put everyone on the rafts. "She went into the Tower. She got fuel from the generators in the basement. She used this to drive us out of that wasteland, away from the radiation that was slowly killing us all. My father died a few months after that from exposure." explains Ada.
Having grown increasingly emotional throughout Ada's story, Strand apologizes for causing her father's death and asks why Ada had saved him after Strand did to her and she states that it's what Alicia would've done. Strand asks if Alicia was still sick from her walker bite when Ada had first met her, and Ada confirms that the fever had stopped, but Ada doesn't really know anything beyond that as she didn't spend much time with Alicia. Once Alicia got everyone settled, she had gone off help more people. Della and Sara explain that she had then met the two of them and didn't stay in one place for very long. However, word spread about her, and it gave people hope and they're trying to spread some hope themselves. The group wants Alicia's legacy to continue and it's better if people believe that Alicia's still out there helping, so they want people to think that Ada is actually Alicia. The group came because they had heard Madison's message on the radio, and they knew that Troy wouldn't be far behind. Ada admits that they don't why Troy had killed Alicia, but word has spread because Alicia wasn't the only person that Troy had killed. There used to be more of Alicia's followers before Troy killed them.
With Ada's permission, Strand attempts to use the SWAT van's CB radio to call Madison, asking to talk to Tracy, but he is unable to reach her. As Ada adjusts the radio, Troy responds to Strand's hail, demanding to know where his daughter is and warning Strand that he'd better not have lost her. Strand tells Troy that he hasn't lost Tracy, and he knows exactly where she's going: to wherever Troy hid Alicia with Daniel and Madison. Strand promises that he can help Tracy, but Troy needs to tell him where to go to. Troy asks why he would do that, and Strand tells him that he doesn't know what's going to happen to her after they find Alicia and Strand might be his daughter's last chance. Troy points out that Strand was the one who took her, but Strand argues that he's the only one who is trying to save Tracy now and Troy will never catch up on foot. Approaching Lowcountry Landing, Troy tells Strand that his people aren't going to be on foot for much longer. However, after being surrounded by PADRE forces and the Gearheads, Troy contacts Strand and tells him that he's been held up, meaning that Strand is the only person that can help him. Strand promises to make sure that Tracy is okay, and Troy tells him where to find Madison, Daniel and Tracy.
After failing to find Alicia, Madison tries to kill Tracy for the danger that she represents to PADRE by using her sledgehammer to push a walker at the girl. Madison is interrupted by the arrival of Strand, Ada, Della and Sara, and Madison furiously reveals to her old friend that Tracy had lied about Alicia being here. Strand apologizes, telling Madison that Alicia's body might not be here, but Alicia still is through the three women who are carrying on Alicia's legacy. One of the walkers breaks free and attacks Madison from behind, giving Tracy the chance to break free of her bonds and flee as Madison, Daniel and Strand dispatch the walker. Tracy tells Strand that the group is exactly as Troy had claimed since they were gonna kill her and she escapes. Madison attempts to go after Tracy who will tell Troy where PADRE is, but Strand restrains her, knowing that Madison will only get herself killed. As more walkers begin breaking free of the frozen ground between the group and where Tracy went, Ada promises that she and the other two women will help them to protect PADRE, telling Madison that they knew Alicia and she wouldn't want her mother to die like this. Realizing that Strand and Ada are right, Madison reluctantly agrees, and the group flees from the herd.
Madison, Daniel, Strand, Ada, Della and Sara arrive at Lowcountry Landing which has been destroyed by a gunfight that has left most of both sides dead and more wounded. Tending to a wounded woman, Luciana explains to Daniel that they had Troy and his men surrounded, but it was like they didn't care whether they lived or died. Daniel reassures Luciana that Strand and Madison had no part in this and June runs over with a medical kit to tend to the woman as one of the PADRE fighters dispatches a member of Troy's group who reanimates. Strand finds Frank desperately tending to a dying Hildy who has been shot in the chest and is bleeding out fast. Frank begs his husband to get more dressings, but Hildy dies, and Strand sadly informs Frank that it's too late. Frank refuses to give up on Hildy, but he quickly reanimates, so Strand grabs Hildy's knife and stabs his friend in the head with it. The devastated Frank declares that they need to stop the man who did this to all of their friends and Strand promises his husband that they will.
Sherry dispatches another of Troy's men who had reanimated and tells Madison that Troy isn't here. Luciana explains that someone had stolen one of the Gearheads' trucks after the shooting broke out, and Madison knows that Troy is going to find his kid and PADRE. Luciana points out that Troy lost most of his men in the gunfight, wondering what it matters that Troy knows where to look, but Madison has realized that Troy isn't going to use his men to take it: Troy's going to do the exact same thing that he did at Broke Jaw Ranch 12 years before. "The dead. That's what they were for. They are his army," explains Daniel. Dwight doesn't know how many people they have left, and he and Sherry set out to do a headcount. Madison asks Luciana how far her roads are cleared, but Luciana doesn't want to get involved any further, having lost too many people already by getting involved. However, Madison is more interested in using the Gearheads' roads to reach the mansion near Fort Worth where Tracy had told her that Alicia was killed, and Luciana promises to take Madison there after this is all over.
Madison notices the awe with which Ada, Della and Sara look at her, and Ada tells Madison that she has no idea what it for them to be standing across from them right now. Della adds that until they had heard Madison's message on the repeater network, they had all thought that she was dead. Madison is confused by the fact that they know her, and Sara explains that they had watched Madison's interview with Al so many times that the tape had eventually worn out. However, Madison declares that neither Nick or Alicia are here and that nothing that she said on that tape means anything. Strand insists that it does and that she needs to hear it. When Strand came to Madison at the library, it was because he had thought that he needed Madison to face what was coming, but Strand doesn't. Instead, Strand needs Madison, pointing out that Madison had nearly killed Tracy. Madison angrily insists that it was to protect and that, unlike Strand, she doesn't have anyone left to disappoint, meaning that Madison can get her hands dirty. "Madison, I pushed Alicia away so she wouldn't get her hands dirty. That medallion, I gave it to her so she'd remember who she was because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to. I thought I was protecting her, but I was wrong, Madison. It wasn't about protecting her. It was about giving myself an excuse not to be the better man. I don't want that to happen to you. I won't let that happen to you," states Strand. Undeterred, Madison begins climbing into the back of the SWAT van, pulling a gun on Strand and stating that someone has to stop Troy. Madison refuses Strand and Daniel's requests to come with her, but Madison is worried that they'll just end up dead like everyone else. Madison declares that she can help them by finishing what she had started at the dam and, watched by Strand, Daniel, Luciana, Frank, Ada, Della and Sara, Madison drives off alone in the SWAT van to confront Troy.
