(Flashback) (1 week after the outbreak) Dylan is driving his car, Ron is in the passenger seat while Sonja sits in the back with Kimmy and Julie, it is starting to get dark, “we should stop somewhere for the night” Ron says “that way we'll be at the camp grounds by the afternoon and can set up some stuff before it gets dark” Dylan sees a church up ahead “those doors look strong, should be a safe place to sleep”. They get out of the car and can hear a voice calling out “SAVE ME, SAVE ME” from inside, Dylan tells Sonja to sit in the drivers seat and if they get too close drive around the block and meet them there, Dylan and Ron enter the church and see that there are a few zombies at the back leading into a back room, Dylan and Ron take them down “your getting better” Ron tells him, they open the door and Christian leaves it, he sees the dead bodies on the ground and claims that they have desecrated holy ground.
(Present) the rescue team meet up with Mark and Katy on the edge of the town, Lucas asks if they have heard from the group again but there has been no reply, Maria scopes the area and sees two different hotels, both surrounded, “we need to split up where we go” Maria agrees to stay on the hill and snipe them down, Lucas is gonna stay back with her just in case, Mark, Katy and Eric agree to head down to the one of the left side of town while Doug, Paul and Zakhai head to the one on the right side of town, while travelling to their hotel, Zakhai gets his foot stuck in a pile of mud, “only you could get stuck in mud” Doug laughs, they get him out and continue to the hotel, both groups try to radio the people inside but still no reply, back at the camp Jill and Annie are talking when Dylan approaches her, he tells her he needs a second opinion on the Ron and Christian fight and what side she thinks is in the wrong “why are you asking me for help?” Jill questions his motives, Dylan tells her “I met both Ron and Christian during the first week of the outbreak and wouldn't have made it without them” he needs the second opinion from somebody who is unbiased to look into it. Meanwhile Ron is doing his own investigating, he questions Kimmy about if she has seen anything but she tells him she has been grieving over her friend, she hasn't noticed anything, she grabs Julie and tells her to come down to the river and that she is gonna teach her to fish.
(Flashback) Dylan gets his family inside the church and they sleep for the night, during the early morning they are awoken to the sounds of zombies crashing into the doors, Dylan and Ron search for a back entrance, Christian shows them the way but refuses to leave with murderers, Ron gets Sonja, Kimmy and Julie to the back room and as Dylan is leaving he looks back at Christian who is praying, Dylan goes back and tells him that he is making a mistake and that he needs as much help as he can to protect his family, his children, Julie comes back and calls for her father, Christian looks at her and agrees to go, the front doors fall down and they all run into the woods behind the church.
(Present) Ron goes to Roxy who is in her tent, he asks if she has seen anything but she claims she has been sleeping all day, after he leaves she checks on her bite, she is scared to tell anybody because she doesn't want to die, at least until she can say goodbye to Eric, she is afraid if she tells somebody they put her down straight away, Roxy curls up into a ball, thinking about when she first met Eric and how she is never gonna be able to save him like he saved her, slowly everything begins to darken, until she is in complete darkness. Dylan and Jill go to see Christian, he tells them he only does what the lord wants, Jill can tell he took the ammo, she tells him “thou shall not steal” and he response with “thou shall not kill”, Dylan questions why Christian took the ammo “you came with me to help protect my family, to keep them alive, but you take away the ammo making them vulnerable, Christian I don't want a civil war within my group and the only way to do that is for him to place the ammo by the river tonight under darkness so that they can just find it lying around. Ron is listening to the entire conversation.
Back in the town, Mark, Katy and Eric get close to their hotel, they aren't that many and they easily kill them off, but one comes out behind Mark and is about to bite him when Maria snipes it down, they get inside the hotel but there is nothing there, at the other hotel, there are a lot more zombies surrounding it, Zakhai agrees to use the truck to lure them away while Doug and Paul head in through the back entrance, inside they find 5 hungry people, Mini stands up and introduces himself, Alec, Jake, Taylor and Zane, they thank them for the rescue, Paul tells them to follow them back to the rest of their people, Mini pulls out a gun and points it at them, they think he is about to shoot them when he shoots a zombie behind them, Mini says “lets go”.
(Flashback) the group is running through the woods, trying to get back to a highway to get themselves a car, a zombie grabs Christian, but Ron saves his life and shoots it, they continue though the woods before coming across a man and a woman, they tell them they have a safe place to stay, Dylan agrees to follow them, they reach the caravan park, where the man and woman introduce them to their kids Sierra and Jeff.
(Present) Doug and Paul get back to the hill with the new people, Mark's group have already returned, Mark looks at the new guys hoping to see Oscar but he isn't there, Paul asks where Zakhai is but Zakhai hasn't returned, Doug and Paul agree to stay behind and find him while the rest get back to the camp, Ron goes down to the river to wait for Christian, he sees Kimmy and Julie fishing and checks up on them to make sure they are safe, while talking to them he sees Christian placing the ammo, Ron grabs some ammo and loads his gun, pointing it at Christian's head, Kimmy and Julie scream and Ron turns around, he neck is bitten by Roxy who has turned, Kimmy grabs the gun that Ron dropped and shoots Roxy in the head, Christian takes the gun off her and tells her it's ok, and that they should run for safety, Kimmy goes to run but Ron quickly turns and grabs Julie, Christian tries to pull Ron off her but he is too strong, he teeth slowly getting closer to Julie who is pulling away, the sound of gunfire goes off, and Julie sees that Christian has shot Ron in the head to save her, Sonja and Dylan run over and hug their kids, while Christian just sits, looking and what he has done.
Next Episode: Move On
with two more of their own dead the group is ready to leave but Dylan isn't, the group are forced to make a choice, leave and split into two groups, or stay at the camp as one, and Doug and Paul find themselves in trouble while searching for Zakhai.
Did you guys shocked to see Ron's death? How do you think Eric is gonna react to Roxy's death? Do you think Christian killing will be a good or bad thing for him? And is Zakhai alive? The next Episode is the season final so all I'm gonna say is expect more death.
Totally wasn't expecting Ron to die then. Eric's likely to have a breakdown with Roxy gone and honestly I think Christian's gonna have enjoyed killing Ron and turn into a psycho. lol Zakhai's too unlucky to actually be dead.
mickiejames22 Roxy's story will get told though others, like i said when Sierra died, just because a character is dead doesn't mean we won't see them again
