Synopsis[]
Sherry drags the USS Pennsylvania's emergency life raft onto a beach, inflates it and begins loading it up with supplies that she has gathered. Dwight contacts her, confused as to where Sherry has gone, as she had left without waking him up. Sherry claims that Dwight needed the sleep and she's just on a supply run to a warehouse near the train depot that they had never explored. However, she didn't find anything there. Dwight reveals that they've gotten an SOS on the Dark Horses' old emergency channel from a woman who got herself turned around near the inlet. Sherry argues that it could be another one of Strand's traps, but Dwight points out that, if it breaks the way that Strand's been talking about, then they need every soldier that they can get. Dwight doesn't know if the woman can fight and he asks about his wife's strange behavior, but Sherry deflects, telling Dwight to wait for her as Sherry ties up the raft. However, Dwight doesn't think that he and the woman can wait for her.
Chased by three walkers, Maya Vazquez runs through the trees, frantically telling over the radio to Dwight that she's where he said that she should be. Maya trips and falls, but she grabs a rock as a weapon, and continues running away. However, she gets surrounded as a small herd of half a dozen walkers that encircles her from the trees. Dwight rides up on horseback and shoots five of the walkers, but he runs out of bullets with just one left, a radioactive walker that approaches Maya as Dwight warns her not to let it touch her. At the last second, Sherry arrives and shoots the walker, saving Maya's life and apologizing for being late, although Dwight says that she's just in time.
Sherry gives Maya a protective mask and checks her Geiger counter to see that they're clear of the radiation. Sherry tells Maya that, while they're good here, she really should wear that while she's on the move and they're going to need to get her checked out. Maya is confused and Dwight explains that it's what he was talking to her about on the radio, about the air quality and the radiation. Maya looks at the radioactive walker and Dwight realizes that she's not from the area, which Maya confirms, explaining that she came here on a boat looking for her kid. Dwight comments that she landed in the wrong place, while Sherry becomes interested in Maya's comment about the boat, asking what it's like out there and how far the fallout goes. However, Maya has no idea, as she was on the boat for days. Maya last saw her son Marco a few months ago: one night he was in their tent when they went to sleep. Next morning, he was gone. Dwight asks if she's sure that it wasn't the dead, but Maya points out that they would've attacked her too.
Maya asks if they're from the Tower, having heard the message inviting people to join it. Maya suggests that Marco may have been taken there, but Sherry tries to dissuade her from going to the Tower. Dwight explains that there's bad blood between them and the man in charge. Much to Sherry's surprise, Dwight tells Maya that their bad blood with the Tower shouldn't stop her from going, especially if Maya thinks that her kid's there. Dwight has Maya get her stuff, promising to point the desperate mother in the right direction. Sherry questions Dwight, who thinks that Maya is better off with Strand even though they're about to go to war with him. Sherry realizes that Dwight thinks that they're going to lose, and he points out that they're outmanned and outgunned. While it's just them and they can take that kind of a risk, Maya has a kid, and she can't. Sherry gives Dwight a concerned look and says she wishes it weren't like this, which Dwight agrees with.
Morgan suddenly radios in that he's coming in hot and he's going to need a handoff. Sherry responds, telling Morgan that they're on it and asking where he is. Morgan identifies his position as being on the coastal road a couple of miles north of the Pennsylvania and Sherry promises to be there in 10 minutes, before asking what he means by a handoff and if he needs them to take Mo. Morgan clarifies that some of the walkers from the Tower's moat broke off and started following him and Morgan needs the Dark Horses to dump them somewhere for him. Dwight finds that he only has a couple of magazines left and Sherry warns Morgan that they might not have enough ammo to take out the walkers. "You definitely do not, because there are a lot of them. It's all of them," reveals Morgan as he continues moving down the road, chased by Strand's entire moat, a massive herd of hundreds of walkers stretching behind him as far as the eye can see.
Riding down the road on horseback, Dwight contacts Luciana looking for a place to dump a lot of walkers. Dwight asks where the crater that the Stalkers had found is located, and Luciana tells him that it's five miles west of Manny's Salvage Yard. Luciana asks if they need a hand, but Dwight tells her that they've got it, and they will let Luciana know if anything changes. Dwight wonders if he had messed up back there with the Dark Horses' code by sending Maya to the Tower, which is the exact opposite of what he wanted Sherry to do with Mickey. Sherry reminds Dwight that Mickey could hold her own out here and Dwight guesses that Sherry also thinks that they're going to lose this fight with Strand and his forces. Sherry isn't sure and she reminds Dwight of what they had talked about at the gym and everything that Dwight had said that he had wanted. Dwight remembers, but he points out that Sherry had said that she wanted it too, to let life happen and to have a family together. Sherry's worried that if they can't take the Tower, they won't be able to have any of that. After a moment, Dwight agrees that they'll take the Tower while Sherry points out that they're not going to be able to do anything if they don't get rid of the walkers that are chasing Morgan.
As the herd continues to follow Morgan, he tells baby Mo that he truly hopes that she doesn't remember any of this when she gets older, before commenting that he'll just be happy if Mo lives long enough to be older. Dwight and Sherry arrive and Dwight notices that Morgan got his daughter back. Morgan sadly explains that John Dorie Sr. gave his life so that Mo could escape. Dwight and Sherry are visibly saddened by the news, and Morgan tells them that the rest of their friends are still stuck inside of the Tower. Looking at the herd as it closes in, Dwight questions how Morgan had picked up so many walkers, and he explains that some of them had started following him just after John had handed Mo off and Morgan didn't discourage the others from following him too. He wants to attack before it gets dark and Strand can lure the walkers back to the tower with the beacon. Sherry and Dwight approve of Morgan's plan. Dwight orders Morgan to get Mo back to the sub.
Suddenly, the group is fired upon, and they take cover, recognizing the attackers as three of Strand's Rangers. Morgan realizes that Strand is desperate because he knows that the only reason that Morgan's Group didn't make a move on the Tower is because Strand had Mo. Seeing the herd approaching, Dwight comments that the Rangers are just going to get themselves killed, but Morgan is concerned that, if the walkers get dispersed, it will be easier for Strand to draw them back tonight, so they need to keep the herd together. Morgan asks for Dwight's gun, and he hands over Mo, explaining that the Dark Horses can get her further away than Morgan can and faster. Morgan instructs them to get Mo to the sub and lock the hatches to keep her away from Strand. Sherry argues that Mo should be with her dad, but Morgan knows that Mo should be with whomever can keep her safe right now. Morgan runs across the road and hides behind a different vehicle, drawing the Rangers' attention. Dwight suggests that this could be a good thing: if he and Sherry can do this with Mo, then they can do this with a kid of their own. The three ambushing Rangers are devoured by the walkers, before Morgan starts directing the herd again.
Riding past a dead horse, Dwight muses that they've lost the Rangers. A masked figure stands in their way with a gun and Dwight demands that the man move out of the way, but he believes that the Dark Horses won't kill him due to their code. Sherry pulls her gun on the man, demanding to know what he knows about their code, and the man unmasks himself to reveal their former friend Wes. Sherry threatens to shoot nonetheless, but Wes warns them that the Rangers will be upon them if they do. Dwight questions if Wes really cares about protecting Strand, but Wes states that he cares about surviving and the Tower is the only way. Dwight proposes that, if Wes comes with them and helps them take down Strand, they'll pretend like he never even left. Wes simply demands they give him Mo, but Dwight tells him that he was just like Wes once, trying to be someone's right-hand man, doing what he needed to do to protect his own. Wes asks if Dwight thinks that he's doing this because he's on a power trip, before clarifying that he's doing this because Morgan's group had made Wes believe in something better to the point that he had killed his brother because of it, but it turns out that they don't even believe in what they preach. Wes regrets not going along with Derek when he found him, since Derek was at least honest about what he was doing. Sherry gives Wes his last warning before shooting at the ground next to Wes' horse, causing the horse to buck him off and run away. Taking Wes' gun, Sherry tells him that he would have shot at them if he didn't believe in what they do. Dwight tells Wes to think about what he said and the Dark Horses ride off, leaving an injured Wes behind.
Morgan checks Mo's bloody tape player as he continues walking, before a car suddenly explodes nearby, startling him. Morgan hides behind another vehicle and watches as the herd is diverted by the explosion. Alicia approaches Morgan from behind, surprising Morgan into attacking her before he realizes who Alicia is. Morgan warns Alicia that they need to get out of here as Strand's Rangers must be close by, but she reveals that the explosion was her doing, not the Rangers', and she was trying to keep the walkers from tearing him apart. Morgan tells Alicia that he needs the walkers to keep following him and shoots his gun into the air and screams at the herd to get their attention back. Morgan explains that the herd is Strand's moat and that they need to ditch them someplace so that Strand can't use them again.
Morgan asks where Alicia came from and when she got back, before stopping himself and asking how his friend is feeling. Alicia tells Morgan that she's still standing, and she found the transmitter she was after. After hearing Strand's message, Alicia came as soon as she could. Alicia hasn't seen anyone else out there yet and asks Morgan if he found the girl that had helped her yet, but he didn't. However, Morgan got Mo out and got the walkers to follow him at the same time, which is why they're going to make their move. Alicia is upset that Morgan didn't wait for her as she'd asked, but Morgan points out that they didn't know where Alicia was. Alicia tells him that she needs to get back to the sub and use the generators to power the transmitter, but Morgan states that they don't have time for that as the Tower's unguarded, at least until dark. Alicia insists that they only get one shot at this and they're not ready, but Morgan tells Alicia that Luciana brought in the Stalkers. Alicia's Followers, the rest of Morgan's and the Stalkers combined together will be enough. However, Alicia doesn't believe that it's even close to being enough and that they can get more, but Morgan knows that they can't keep waiting and he had to make a call. Alicia is more than welcome to join them, but he understands if she doesn't want to. Morgan keeps drawing the walkers towards him and Alicia finally concedes, telling Morgan that, since he followed a walker for her, it's the least she can do. Morgan thanks her, and he and Alicia begin leading the herd away together.
At the Blue Diamond Car Wash, Sherry stands guard as Dwight looks after Mo. Sherry hasn't heard anything from Luciana and she believes that Strand's Rangers would've passed them by now if they were tracking the couple. Dwight refuses to move until they make contact with Luciana and hangs up a makeshift mobile made out of air fresheners for Mo, jokingly calling it an auto-mobile. Sherry is annoyed that she's the only one trying to keep them alive, but Dwight says he is trying to show Mo a reason to stay alive. Dwight questions Sherry's strange behavior as she continues to deflect his questions. Sherry admits that it's hard for her to see Dwight like this with Mo, laughing and making jokes. Sherry is afraid that they're not going to have that, that Dwight is right in thinking they can't beat Strand, although she's not giving up. Luciana radios in and Sherry orders her to open the hatch and prepare to lock down the sub, as they're on their way and chances are they're not alone. Luciana orders them not to come, revealing that the Pennsylvania's engineering compartment is starting to leak radiation, and everyone is abandoning ship while Sarah helps to coordinate the evacuation at the hatch behind her. Sherry suggests just waiting it out at the car wash, but Dwight knows that they can't, as the Rangers are likely just listening in and they will find them. They decide to keep moving instead.
Dwight picks up Sherry's bag and she suddenly grows defensive, drawing his suspicions. Inside, Dwight finds a bunch of maps and navigation charts and demands answers. Sherry finally admits that she was getting the emergency raft from the sub ready to launch. Dwight is angry that Sherry is just planning to leave after all of this, but she reveals that the raft is for Dwight. Dwight is stunned, and Sherry points out that they both know what's coming and that they had both heard the offer that Strand had made. Sherry doesn't want Dwight to turn into the person that he doesn't want to be, but Dwight angrily tells his wife that it's not gonna happen. Dwight realizes that Sherry thinks that he's actually going to throw in with Strand, and she points out that it had happened before with Negan and the Saviors, and Sherry doesn't want it to happen again. Dwight tells Sherry that it's bullshit and she knows it.
Wes, backed up by two Rangers, interrupts Dwight and Sherry's argument, telling the couple that what's bullshit is them thinking that they could stay ahead of the Rangers. Wes warns them, in case they're thinking about running, that half a dozen more Rangers are on their way. Wes demands that they hand Mo over and Dwight asks what they'll get in return, telling Sherry that if she really thinks that this is how they're gonna end up, they might as well get something out of it. Dwight asks if they can still take Wes up on Strand's deal if they hand Mo over, but Wes tells him that it's not his call to make, but he's sure that it will help their case. Dwight claims that he's not going to try and be a better person if Sherry doesn't even think that he can and he orders Sherry to pick the baby up. As Sherry goes to get Mo, Dwight approaches the Rangers non-threateningly and one comes up to disarm him. Dwight suddenly grabs the man and uses him as a human shield against the man's partner, resulting in the other Ranger accidentally shooting the man to death before Dwight kills him. Dwight orders Sherry to go as he struggles with Wes.
On the road, Morgan notices that Alicia is still sick, appearing to hold back nausea, and she discreetly hides a bullet that she's wearing on a chain around her neck. Morgan points out that Alicia had never answered him before and asks again how she's feeling. Alicia admits that she still has recurring fevers at night, but her dreams are getting worse. Alicia explains that the dreams seem to be getting more and more real and it's like she can't run from them anymore. Morgan remembers that the last time that it was just the two of them, they were following a walker together. Alicia notes that the Senator is probably in the herd somewhere, and Morgan tells Alicia to look for him if she wants to. Alicia asks where Morgan is taking the walkers and he explains that Dwight and Sherry had said that there's a crater that's got a bunch of them already trapped in it, so Morgan is taking them there. Alicia tells Morgan that Strand's going to come after him hard for doing this to the Tower, but Morgan states that Strand already is, which is why they have to move now.
Alicia insists that they're not ready, but Morgan doesn't believe that they have a choice. Morgan reveals that Grace had recorded some songs for Mo to listen to when they escaped and she left a message for Morgan telling him to take Mo away even if he has to leave Grace behind. He knows that she is right and that it's the only way to make sure that Mo is safe. If they can't capture the Tower tonight, Morgan is going to leave with Mo, if he can find a way out of there. He recalls leaving behind some folks he cared about once before and regretting it. Morgan has to take care of Mo first, but, if they can take the Tower tonight, when it's more vulnerable than it's ever been, Morgan wouldn't have to go. Morgan questions Alicia's continued insistence that they're not ready, and although she lists that they're outnumbered, ill-prepared, tired, hungry and sick, Morgan reminds Alicia that that's never stopped them before. Morgan realizes that Alicia is stalling, pointing out that she's been away for all of this time, and she has nothing to show for it. Alicia insists that she's not stalling, but Morgan reminds her that she keeps talking about how little time she has left.
Sherry changes Mo's diaper amidst some piles of debris, before Dwight joins them. Dwight tells his wife that Wes is still out there, and he just slowed him down. Checking her Geiger counter, Sherry tells Dwight that they're good here, but the radiation is too high for them to go any further. He reminds her that they still have half a dozen Rangers riding up behind them. The couple begins to move on and Sherry apologizes for what she had said earlier, admitting that she doesn't think that Dwight would take Strand's deal for himself. Dwight wants to know if Sherry thinks that he would take it for her, but she says it's complicated. She notices a piece of rubble marked as belonging to the Franklin Hotel on the ground.
The two spot the bunker entrance nearby and Dwight asks on the walkie if anyone knows where the bunker that Teddy had locked up Alicia in is. Alicia comes on the radio to answer the question herself, much to Dwight's surprise. Alicia tells Dwight that she's with Morgan and that the bunker is under the Franklin Hotel, wanting to know why he's asking. Dwight explains that they had just found it and Sherry decides to hide from the Rangers in the bunker. Dwight asks Alicia if there's another way out, and she reveals that there's drainage works on the north end, but they're not stable. Dwight is worried that the Rangers might've heard the transmission and he feels that they should head through the crater instead to stay ahead of them, worried that they could get cornered if the Rangers come into the bunker. Sherry tells Dwight that the readings are way too high, but Dwight thinks that they'll be fine with their gas masks on, and Mo's baby carrier is lined with lead. Sherry again refuses and Dwight angrily confronts her over Sherry refusing to do what they need to do in order to keep Mo safe. "I think I might be pregnant," Sherry finally reveals. Although stunned by the news that he's going to be a father, an emotional Dwight promises his wife that it's a good thing. Hearing the sound of horses nearby, Dwight and Sherry enter the bunker and close the door behind them.
Inside, a frustrated Sherry tries to work a keypad without any success before Dwight stops her, as the whole system is shorted. Instead, they duck into a nearby locker room where Dwight blocks the door with a bench. Sherry apologizes for not telling her husband sooner, and she thinks that she's been pregnant for a couple of weeks. Dwight plans to find her a test, but Sherry reveals that she has already taken one, but she hasn't looked at it yet. Handing over a crying Mo and retrieving her pregnancy test from bag, she explains that that she didn't want Dwight going through her bag because he would prioritize the baby's well-being over doing the right thing and she doesn't want to have that person as her baby's father. Dwight tells Sherry that he loves her for trying to protect her, but he should be able to protect her too. The excited couple prepares to look at the pregnancy test, but they are forced to move upon hearing banging in the distance.
Morgan and Alicia find the crater mostly empty, contradicting what Dwight and Sherry had said. Morgan notices walkers climbing out of the crater up a ramp that looks like it was created from the trailer of a semi-truck, and he realizes that someone let the walkers out. The two realize that, if they dump the herd into the crater, they're just gonna climb right back out again. Morgan tells Dwight and Sherry that the crater's a no-go and they need to find another place to dump the walkers. In the bunker's infirmary, Sherry finds Alicia's old sharpened barrel shroud on her cot next to the PADRE binder and she takes the weapon for herself. The two realize that, if Morgan and Alicia can't dump the herd, they can't move on the Tower, and begin moving out while Morgan and Alicia begin leading the herd away from the crater.
In the bunker's drainage pipe, Dwight works on clearing the blockage from the nuclear detonations while Sherry notices a nearby fire sprinkler. Sherry wonders how loud the fire alarm is in a place like this and the two speculate that it might be loud enough to be heard above ground. If Morgan and Alicia are heading back, then they'll be leading the herd right over the bunker. Striking a match, Sherry orders Dwight to get digging. In the infirmary, Wes and his Rangers search for Dwight and Sherry. One man reports that, since their horses were right outside, they have to be in the bunker. The fire alarm suddenly goes off and Wes, realizing that Dwight and Sherry are responsible for it, angrily orders one of his men to find it and turn it off.
Outside, Morgan and Alicia hear an alarm going off and Alicia realizes that it's the bunker's fire alarm and they're right on top of it. Seeing the entrance nearby, Alicia deduces that Dwight and Sherry must've tripped the alarms. Alicia decides to get the herd into the bunker, but Morgan worries because Dwight and Sherry are down there with Mo. Alicia is sure that the couple will get Mo out and she asks Morgan to trust her, telling him that she has a plan. Dwight, Sherry and Mo move through the unstable drainage pipe and Dwight realizes that the shaking is because the walkers are above them. Standing on top of the entrance structure, Morgan and Alicia draw the walkers in, but Morgan can't raise Dwight and Sherry because the signal won't reach the bunker. Alicia tells Morgan that they'll get the herd inside and then they'll go to where the pipe lets out. The walkers enter the bunker, drawn by Morgan, Alicia and the fire alarm.
Inside, two Rangers desperately try to turn the alarm off before the herd falls upon them from both sides. Heavily outnumbered, both men are devoured by the walkers. Suddenly, part of the drainage pipe collapses in front of Dwight, Sherry and Mo. Desperately trying to flee, the other four Rangers are devoured by the herd, but Wes manages to put down a walker and escape, stopping to listen for a moment in visible emotional turmoil as his men die in the bunker.
Dwight tries and fails to move the debris blocking their path. He apologizes to both Sherry and Mo, although Sherry reassures her husband that it's not his fault. He sadly thinks that maybe him being a father wasn't meant to be and Sherry pulls out her pregnancy test, deciding that she wants to find out together with him as she should've done from the very beginning. Together, they open the test, which is positive, confirming that Sherry really is pregnant. The couple embrace in joy and Sherry is filled with new determination to get out. Using the sharpened barrel shroud, Sherry begins breaking through the blockade.
Near the exit to the pipe, Alicia encounters Senator Elias Vazquez, the walker that had bitten her. The zombified Vazquez has visibly deteriorated since Morgan and Alicia had followed him, although he is still covered with the paint that Alicia had him splashed with in order to make Vazquez easier to follow. Rather than try to recapture the Senator, Alicia instantly slashes him across the head with the blades on her prosthetic arm, putting Vazquez down. Morgan worries about Dwight and Sherry not being out already, but Alicia urges him to give them some time. Morgan suggests that Alicia should go to the sub and get everybody ready since they only have a few more hours of daylight left. Alicia admits that Morgan was right and that she could've come back sooner, but she didn't because she's worries about having to hurt Strand. Morgan is sure that she will do the right thing when the time comes.
Morgan and Alicia hear Mo crying in the distance and Dwight and Sherry emerge from the drainage pipe with Mo. As Morgan tends to his daughter, Dwight explains that the tunnel had collapsed, but Sherry had cleared it. Sherry tries to return the sharpened barrel shroud to a surprised Alicia, thanking her for the assist, but Alicia tells her to keep the weapon. Alicia suggests that, if they can get on the sub and use the transmitter, there might be a way they could reach whoever's left out there and make a real push for the Tower. However, Dwight reveals that the sub is leaking radiation and was evacuated. Dwight and Sherry recall that Maya had heard Strand's message all the way from the water, which must've been 20 miles out. As a result, Strand must have an antenna that Alicia could use, the place has power and is the highest point for miles around. However, Morgan has to do what Grace asked him to do and to get Mo as far away from here as possible. While Alicia thinks that there's no way out, Sherry knows one.
At the sub's emergency raft, Daniel finishes loading up supplies for Morgan and the baby, and Morgan recalls that Grace said that the weather patterns might've been affected, and the fallout could hug the coast for hundreds of miles. Sherry tells him that Maya came from someplace clean, but Morgan worries that he won't be able to find it. He is conflicted about leaving just as Alicia is about to face Strand, but an emotional Alicia, knowing that this is likely the last time that she'll see her friend, tells him that Morgan needs to do this for Mo, Grace and himself. While they're both doing something that they don't want to do, Alicia admits that Morgan is right and she can do this. Promising to see Morgan again, Alicia orders him to go.
Hugging Alicia goodbye, Morgan takes Mo from Dwight, who suggests that Sherry could go with him too. Sherry tells her husband that Strand doesn't know about her pregnancy, and he can't use this against them, but they can use it as a reason to fight. Morgan shares a hug with Luciana and thanks her before Dwight gives him the auto-mobile that he'd created for Mo. After thanking Dwight, Morgan wishes Alicia good luck and Luciana, Alicia, Dwight, Sherry, Daniel and Sarah - Morgan's closest remaining friends - push the raft into the water and Morgan sets sail.
Alicia and her forces move out, finally ready to take the Tower from Strand.
