In Midtown Manhattan, Sarah, Ashley, Cassandra and Maya are painting Sarah and Kyle's home.
Sarah: So? Do you think Kyle will like it?
Ashley: You fucking kidding? He's going to love it.
Sarah: Well, green's sort of his favorite color.
Maya: "Sort of".
Sarah: Kyle's not a favorite color type of color.
Cassandra: My mom would've preferred blue....
A short pause.
Cassandra: What are we doing?
Sarah: Painting the house to surprise Kyle.
Cassandra: No...no..no...what are we doing? We're sitting here painting a house in a city that we know is vulnerable.....I don't think it's going to matter when they come back and our houses are burning.
Sarah: Hey...Cassandra....I know how it feels....Ashley and I...we've been through this...with our parents...with Nathan...we know how hard it is to recover.
Cassandra: Yet your husband's out there right now with the man who murdered Nathan...along with his brother, my boyfriend and my boyfriend's brother....soon, everything's going to fall apart....I'm sorry...I'm just worried...about James.
A short pause, before Maya walks up to Cassandra.
Maya: C'mon...let's finish painting....
Cassandra takes the paint brush and continues painting with Sarah, Ashley and Maya. Meanwhile, Mitchell is sitting in a bench, before Caleb approaches him.
Caleb: Taking a break?
Mitchell: With those soldiers here twenty-four seven? Damn right...here...take a seat.
Caleb sits down next to Mitchell.
Caleb: You know; back in the settlement Beth and I were staying in, she would always want to wonder why it barely snows in the West....I told her I didn't know....it was easier to explain simple shit to her......After she died, part of me wanted to kill Nathan.....just aim the shotgun at him and pull the trigger...but then learning he served in the battle of Kronos and Barnes killed him...made me forgive the bastard.....don't know what he'd do if he saw Kyle with Sarah now....still....I know Nathan did it by accident.....don't know if I'll miss him....I miss Walter....I miss Alexandria....Catherine....Billy...all good people.
Mitchell: The world's only left with a few good people like us....like Kyle.
Caleb: You think he's still alive?
Mitchell: You should've seen Kyle when he was able to lead a bunch of cuttthroats and liars against Kronos.....Shawn helped recruit them....now, it's those two. A Soldier...a hacker....and the one armed bastard who tried to kill us against an army of monsters.....God be with us all.
In the forest of Mt. Whitney, Kyle is driving the A.O.W Tank through the forest with Jake, Shawn, James and Barnes as passengers and cramped in the Manti-core.
Barnes: It's too fucking cramped in here, man! I need space, damn it!
Shawn: Well, you are free to walk.
Jake: This shit is ridiculous.
Barnes: did we at least bring snacks?
Jake: There should be a bag of rations somewhere.
Kyle: Those are mine!
Jake: Sharing is caring. That's what Pastor Chester said.
Kyle: Pastor Chester ain't here, motherfucker! Those are my only bag of Doritos.
