He asks her to come back to his hotel and when they leave he forces her into his car, she struggles and he knocks her out.
(Present) Mark and Katy approach Jill and congratulates her, Mark tells her that both their plans can work, they can find somewhere safe that they can protect themselves in while staying close by for him to travel back to the diner, Jill tells him that she can't promise anything, and that she will try to find somewhere nearby but if they can't then they will have to move on, Mark respects her decision Annie overhears the conversation, Kimmy can't stop crying over her father, Lucas once again comforts her loss and she hugs him. Mini tell Jill his people all voted for her, she asks him why “because your plan was the one I had, but never got to achieve” he promises to help her find a safe place to call home. Annie heads to the roof of the Diner where Mark is sitting on watch, she wants to know why he won't move on, Mark doesn't want to give up on Oscar, Annie tells him “even if Oscar is alive, he still hasn't come back, which means either he has found a place that is safe from those creatures or he is trapped somewhere by them, and sitting on a roof isn't gonna find him”
(Flashback) Annie wakes up in a hotel, she is tied up, the man approaches her with a knife, she screams and struggles, tell him to stay away from her, he cuts her free, she asks why he grabbed her and he tells her that he works for her father and that he has been tracking for a while, she asks what he is gonna do, the man tells her he is taking her home.
(Present) Taylor, Jake and Eric are sitting by the fire, Mini asks to talk to Taylor alone, he asks her how she is going after losing Zane but she won't talk, he tells her he is there for her if she needs anything, Christian is hitting the targets better, Steven asks him “you sure your a priest?” Maria is also shooting targets, she is letting out her anger of not being picked as the next leader, Steven tries to talk to her but she doesn't want to, as they talk Christian is bitten on the arm by a zombie, Steven kills it, Annie see it happen from inside the roof of the diner, both she and Mark climb down to help, Maria reloads her weapon ready to shoot Christian who is begging for his life, but Annie comes over with an axe and cuts off his arm, Mark calls for Katy to come and try to slow and stop the bleeding.
(Flashback) Annie and the man are travelling along a road, he calls the President to tell him where he is and that he has her daughter, as he does they hit a zombie on the road and crash the car, the President tells him that he is gonna send the army to their location to pick them up, the man grabs Annie and barricades them inside a building.
(Present) Jill goes to Annie who is sitting inside the diner again, she asks “why did you do that to him?” Annie tells her that she wanted to save his life and thought maybe cutting off the bite will stop them from turning, she tells Jill “it's time I finally grow up and stop being that little girl in the shadows and do something with whatever life I have left”. Katy manages to slow the blood loss but isn't sure if Christian will survive, Doug and Steven chain up Christian's other arm just to be safe.
Next Episode: Wrecked
The group wait to see if Christian will recover or turn, some of the group go searching for medical supplies, Eric has a meltdown and somebody's true motives arise.
That was the first episode for Season 2, did you see pick up the clue in Season 1 of Annie being the President's daughter? Do you think Jill is capable of leading the group? Do you agree with what Annie said about Oscar to Mark? And finally do you think Christian will survive?
omg i loved this episode nd how it tied back to the kidnapping
Can't wait to see what happens with the president looking for Annie. I hope Christian survives though, I feel like he was finally breaking out of his shell
I must have missed that clue, I'm a scrub. Dx I think Jill is capable, we'll just have to see if it works out, shiz happens. I completely agree with Annie, there's only so much you can do and I think Mark's hit the point where he can do no more from the diner, or at all. I feel like for people who only just met Mark did more than he needed for Oscar in terms of waiting, it'd be different if they'd known each other before everything wen't down. I think Christian will live in terms of not turning, just to teach them that they can chop limbs off quickly enough to live, but I think he either won't want to live or something will happen because he doesn't have the second arm and he'll die, but that might be later this season. :p
