Jesus and other residents of the Hilltop set the Savior prisoners outside the walls of Hilltop so they. Saviors could stay chained up outside instead of in the trailers out back so they are away from the families inside Hilltop. Someone decided to leave the walls of Hilltop during the shift change at the gate so they wouldn't get caught leaving after dark. The person looked at all the Savior who have been imprisoned and were chained up against the wall even though that person thought they should be dead. All of them.

"What are you doing?" One of the Savior's asks frantically as the person bent down to their level but was unable to be seen as darkness fell upon them. "What I need to do" The person declares quietly as they take their knife and stab the prisoner in the side of their head, killing the Savior instantly before they roughly pulled their blade out of the Savior's skull and used the prisoners shirt to clean their blade off before slipping their blade back into their boot and entering the Hilltop walls safely and quietly...

"What the hell are you doing?" Jane asks as she, Maggie, Enid and Gregory walk outside the gates and see Jesus feeding the Saviors. You're giving away our food" Maggie declares as they walk up to him. "We had a bumper crop of turnips in the root cellar. We couldn't get rid of them" Jesus argues and Jane scoffs. "I don't care if we had 30 rotten apples. They wouldn't even get that" Jane states as she crosses her arms over her chest. "Paul, this is a farce. It's gone on long enough. I mean, build a gallows already. You're handy Margaret" Gregory says and Jane turns to him with her eyes narrowed. "Maggie— I mean Maggie" Gregory says frantically with his hands up in surrender.

"I'm actually not opposed to that idea" Jane says as she turns her attention back to Jesus. "Gregory just go inside" Maggie orders and Gregory sighs before taking her order and going back behind the walls with Enid. "Yo, I think this dude is dead" One of the Hilltop residents call out and Maggie furrows her eyebrows as her, Jane and Jesus walk over to the resident and see a prisoner lying up against the wall with dried up blood on his ear. Jesus bends down and feels the man's pulse, "He's dead" Jesus declares and Jane looks down at the body with no remorse.

"Well someone did this. He didn't stab himself in the head" Maggie says as she notices the stab wound on the side of his head. "Maybe he did. Maybe he wanted to do it before we did" Jane says as she continues to look down at the body. It was an understatement to say she wasn't happy about the Savior being dead. She's just upset she didn't get to do it herself. Or did she?

As night time fell upon Hilltop yet again, Maggie and Jane sat in the office together. Jane kept looking down at her ring and noticed the small
blade sticking out of her boot and quickly slipped it back in there before Gregory decided to walk in. "People who aren't leaders always think they know better. Hmm?" Gregory says and Jane sighs as she turns her head towards the doorway of the office and sees Gregory standing up against the wall with a glass in his hand.
