VIVIAN SET LIAM DOWN FOR A NAP BEFORE GOING TO HELP DALE AND T-DOG WITH THE WATER.

T-Dog insisted of pushing the wheelbarrow filled with their water containers, despite his injury and Vivian offering to take it.

They walked over to the well that Maggie told them to use and T-Dog set the wheelbarrow down and wiped his forehead, "I'm not weak and I'm not a coward."

Vivian and Dale shared a look, "We never said you were." The brunette replied,

"No, what I said on the highway..." He panted as he grabbed a bottle and placed it under the tap, "I don't know what that was, where it came from. That wasn't me. If it's okay, I'd rather you never told anybody about that stuff I said." T-Dog glanced between them as he began to pump the water,

Dale stood up and looked over at him, "What stuff? I couldn't get a word out of you all day."

T-Dog glanced over at Vivian, who shrugged, "I don't know, man, you kinda just sat there the entire time."

He smiled at them before he continued pumping, "Say, man, you think there's a snowball's chance we'll actually find that little girl?"

Vivian didn't say anything and Dale went first, "For the first time in my life I'm betting on the snowball."

Before she could say anything, Vivian heard a growl coming from the well. She walked over and glanced into the hole before sighing, "Guys... I wouldn't drink that water if I were you."

Both the men paused and turned to her, "What do you mean?"

Vivian turned back to them, "We've got a swimmer."

After the men confirmed the bloated, slimy walker in the well, the trio went back to camp to inform them of their intruder. Shane, Lori, Andrea, Maggie and Glenn followed them back to the well to see it for themselves,

"How long you think it has been down there?" Glenn asked,

"Long enough to grow gills." Andrea commented,

"We can't leave it in there. God knows what it's doing to the water." Lori stated,

"We got to get it out." Shane continued,

"Easy. Put a bullet in its head. I'll get a rope." T-Dog said,

"Whoa whoa, guys." Maggie shook her head, "No."

"Why not?" Glenn asked, "It's a good plan."

"It's a stupid plan. If that thing hasn't contaminated the water yet, blowing its brains out will finish the job." Andrea replied,
