Summary
Around 3-4 years after the events of "From The Gallows", Clementine has already found AJ. The two are scavenging along the roads in a car. After exploring by an abandoned Railway Station Clementine accidentally trips a trap that alerts a large group of walkers outside. In a rush to flee, Clementine crashes the car, knocking both her and AJ unconscious. She awakens to find that AJ and her had been rescued by a group of teenagers living in a nearby Boarding School led by a young man named Marlon. The children seem to have a good set-up however it is apparent that they are running low on food and other supplies due to Marlon's caution to search further away from the school grounds. Things become worse when they discover some of their old associates have returned for them and dark secrets are brought to light about their past together...
Plot
Some time after the events of "From The Gallows", it is revealed that Clementine has found Alvin Jr. and that they are traveling together, supposedly for a while. Clementine and Alvin Jr. are low on supplies, and have not eaten or had fresh water for days. In the car, Alvin Jr. plays with his gun, to which Clementine tells him that it is getting on her nerves. When he complains about his hunger, she can gives him a magazine to practice his reading instead but it only reminds him of his hunger. She teases him with a Disco Broccoli doll but that doesn't work either so she gives him a bag of chips.
Later, the duo stop at a train station surrounded by rubble and derailed boxcars. Clementine hands Alvin Jr. a knife, and they both exit their car. Clementine takes a crowbar and canteen from the trunk. She alerts a walker, by either walking up to it, or by ringing a bell at the gate, and dispatches it with a knife. (Determinant) Clementine then pries open the door to the train station, and quizzes Alvin Jr. on what to do when entering a new place, reminding him of their rules.
Once they enter, they discover a walker couple tied to each other, sat on two chairs. AJ notices a locked security door, and Clementine peers through the ticket booth, seeing cans of food inside. She then looks at the walker couple and attempts to retrieve the keys to the door from them, but backs out, deeming it too risky. She notices a bottle of poison on the ground next to the walkers, along with a note saying to leave them alone. Alvin Jr. insists on killing the walkers to get the door keys, but Clementine wants to respect their wishes to let them be, and considers having AJ crawl into the ticket booth instead. Clementine then has to choose:
Kill the couple: Clementine unsheathes her knife, apologizes to the walkers, and stabs the male walker through the eye, killing it. She then stabs the female walker through the chin, but this fails to put it down. She stabs it through the chin again, this time killing it. Alvin Jr. praises her deed. She takes the keys from the male walker, apologizes once again, and unlocks the door.
Send Alvin Jr. inside: Alvin Jr. is reluctant to go inside, but Clementine quickly convinces him by telling him that they need to know if there's food inside, and to be brave. She then lifts him onto the counter, and he crawls through. While Alvin Jr. unlocks the door, the walkers stare at Clementine. Alvin Jr. unlocks the door, and Clementine enters.
Alvin Jr. finds bullets for his revolver, and Clementine reminds him of when and how to use the gun. They find and open a concealed trap door, finding a large stash of food inside. However, moments later, a grenade rolls out, the door having been jerry rigged to trigger it on opening. Clementine slams the door shut and dives down with Alvin Jr. to avoid the blast. She then notices a large group of walkers approaching the station. They fight there way to and in the car, however, a walker prevents her from closing the door; unable to reach for her knife, she attempts to kill it with the car keys, but ends up getting them lodged in it's eye socket. As walkers begin to break through the car windows, Alvin Jr. assists her in fighting them off, while she releases the brakes. The car slams into a tree, pinning the walker with the car keys to it.
Clementine smashes the windshield by kicking it, retrieves the keys from the walker, and starts the engine. She reverses the car out of the tree, then switches into first gear. A walker attacks her while the car hurtles down a hill. Alvin Jr. attempts to shoot the walker, but the car crashes into a boulder, causing it to flip several times, resulting in Clementine losing consciousness. She temporarily regains consciousness, and sees a male figure killing nearby walkers with a bow and arrow. The man pulls Alvin Jr. out of the wreckage. She calls out for him to stop before losing consciousness once again.
Clementine wakes up in a bed, with her forehead wrapped in bandages, and her left hand taped to the side of the bed. She breaks free from her restraint, but finds the door out to be locked. She takes a palette knife from a closet, pries open the door using the palette knife, and leaves the room. As she traverses down a hallway, she sees a door creak open, and she darts for cover behind a display cabinet. A boy checks the room she was in, and Clementine reveals herself to him, either peacefully, or by threatening him verbally or physically. A man aims at her with a compound bow, asking her to drop her knife, saying that they have Alvin Jr. After she reluctantly drops it, he explains that he was the one who rescued her and Alvin Jr. from their wrecked car, and that he locked the door and taped her hand in case she reanimated. He then introduces himself as Marlon and the boy as Tennessee. Clementine introduces herself, and Marlon leads her out of the building to see Alvin Jr.
Marlon asks her how long she has been out traveling, and tells her that the car was damaged beyond repair. While other children turn to look at the newcomer, he formally introduces himself to Clementine as the leader of the school. He then tells her to look for a Louis, and follow his music in order to find Alvin Jr. as he walks away to fend off what he assumes is a minor walker attack.
While Clementine walks down a hallway towards the source of the music, a girl, named Ruby, storms out of a room, claiming that Alvin Jr. bit her. Clementine can act defensive of him, or apologize on his behalf. The girl walks away, and Clementine enters the room. Alvin Jr. notices her, and they embrace. She then questions him on him biting the girl, and Louis informs her that he managed to calm him down by playing piano music. He introduces himself to Clementine, and she does the same. Louis then reveals that Marlon placed her belongings nearby, and she retrieves them. She takes her knife and hat, but when she gives Alvin Jr's revolver back to him, Louis questions his ability to use the gun, and Clementine's responsibility. She reassures him, and he goes back to playing the piano. She asks him if he knows any other songs; he replies that he does, and plays "Clementine". She can let Louis play, or make him stop. He then invites Alvin Jr. to press keys on the piano, which Clementine can object to.
Marlon returns, saying that the walker situation has escalated, and requests that Clementine and Louis help deal with them. After exiting the building, Marlon explains that a hunting party is returning to the school, and that a larger-than-normal group of walkers is stopping them from returning safely, to which another school member, named Violet, sarcastically states that the car crash attracted these walkers to the area. Clem can say that haven't meet, say she's sorry or ask her if she has a problem. Louis intervenes and introduces Clem to Violet. Willy tells them that walkers are getting closer.
Violet and Marlon leave as Louis tells Clementine not worry about Violet. Louis then shows her, his spiked chair leg, Chairles. As Louis and Clem leave AJ asks to come but Clem tells him to watch her back. After Clem kills two walkers, Louis informs her of traps that they set up in the woods. Clem can use these traps to kill a group of walkers. Marlon says that the hunting party is getting closer and tells Clem that they'll meet them halfway. Clem kills more walkers as she reaches the hunting party. Violet tells the hunting party on their timing, saying that they won't be able to hold walkers off for much longer. Brody agrees, asking where all the all walkers came from. Marlon tells them that they can talk inside and warns them of stragglers. Violet tells Clementine that she's not half bad, considering the circumstances. Clem thanks her. Violet spots some stragglers and says that they should kill them before the draw more walkers to the school as she kills one. Clementine than kills a walker that has a arrow in it's spine. Clem sees Aasim shooting a walker and he says that he's done with this shit as a walker comes up from behind him. It attacks Aasim as Clementine stabs it in the jaw. The walker turns and slaps Clem in the face, grabbing her, but Clem is saved by Rosie, an American Bully dog. Rosie grows at Clem, walking slowly to her but before she attacks, Marlon calls her down.
Clem tells Marlon that she had a bad experience with a dog once. Marlon tells her that Rosie can help her get over it. Aasim thanks Clem for the help and Marlon tells them to hurry inside, saying he's hungry, to Clem's agreement. Marlon asks Aasim how the hunting went, but Aasim snaps back at asking him what he thinks but is told to be nice by Brody. Aasim says that the safe-zone is nearly dry and that they need to expand or they'll starve. Marlon says that they will talk about it later but Aasim insists that they need to talk now but is pushed back by Marlon.

Goofs/Errors
- When originally released, if the player had chosen to stay in Wellington at the end of Season 2, Clementine would have had a scar on her forehead, the same scar for leaving Wellington with Kenny, instead of a scar on her right cheek as seen in Season 3. This was due to the fact the Story Builder for Season 4 didn't include any mention of Wellington. Players that weren't using the Story Builder that had chosen the Wellington ending would have been defaulted to the Kenny ending. However this was cleared up in a patch released about a week after the release of Suffer The Children for Done Running and all other future episodes.
- When asked at the card game if Clementine had ever been with other people, she can mention Lee by name and tell the trio about her experience with Lee. If later asked if she had ever killed someone she loved, she can say "Lee, his name was Lee" as if she hadn't already told the three of them about him.
Bugs
- The final walker that Clementine encounters before entering the train station grabs her ankle after she and AJ separate from Louis and Violet. If the player completes the button prompt at the precise moment the screen changes to Clementine's non-canon death, the screen immediately reverts back to Clementine killing the walker, but the audio cuts out and mutes. The audio does not return until the end of the scene.
Deleted Sequences
- In the Pre-Game footage, when Marlon asks Clementine, "Take it you know how to handle yourself?" one of the original options of a reply was "My car would disagree", which has been changed to "It's taken its toll".
- When Marlon says to Clementine "Don't listen to her, Clem. She's acting crazy. She gets this way sometimes, you just gotta tune it out," his original line was "Don't listen to her, Clem. She's acting crazy. I think it's that time of the month again, you know?"
- Clementine could originally tackle Tenn outside her room, not near the cabinet.
- James has unused animation for the card game, hinting that he was originally suppose to appear in this episode.
