— Official Synopsis |
Plot
Quick Summary
- The group evacuates to The Abigail at night as the military begin to bombard Los Angeles, presumably in an attempt to contain the undead threat.
- The next morning, out at sea, they come across another boat full of survivors, but Strand and Travis refuse to stop to pick them up. Strand then tells the group that their next destination will be San Diego.
- Alicia mans the radio, only to hear distress calls and strikes up a conversation with another seaborne survivor calling himself Jack. Travis notices Chris and Daniel beginning to bond over their mutual loss.
- Madison becomes concerned at how Strand refuses to sleep, and Daniel tells her how he is still suspicious of Strand's motives, pointing out he was ready to leave his secure house even before the bombs fell. Once they are far enough out to sea, the group holds a funeral for Liza and buries her at sea. However, Chris reacts violently as he blames Travis for her death.
- Alicia then learns from Jack that his boat is sinking, and requests that the group go save him. Strand rejects the plan and threatens to throw overboard anybody that does not obey him.
- As the group prepares for dinner Chris leaps overboard for a swim, as you do, and Nick joins him, only to find walkers floating in the water from a capsized ship sunk by gunfire. Nick recovers the ship's logs, but Strand warns them that another ship is approaching them, most likely a hostile ship.
