At the survival camp, Lori and Amy sort out mushrooms that they have collected.

Lori: "Any luck?"

Amy: "How do we tell if they're poison?"

Lori: "Uh, there's only one sure way I know of"

Amy: "Ask Shane when he gets back?"

Lori: "Yeah, you've got it"

Amy: "Thank you" (Lori gets up)

Lori: "Dale, I'm heading out" (She turns to Carl) "Sweetheart, I want you to stay where Dale can see you, okay?"

Carl: "Yes, mom"

Dale: "You too, don't wander too far. Stay within shouting distance. And if you see anything, holler. I'll come running"

Lori: "Yes, mom"

She goes into the woods to pick some more food for the camp. While she is in the woods, leaves rustle. Bird wings flap, branch snaps. She starts to think that someone is following her. She worries that it is one of the Walkers and starts to look around. Suddenly, a hand reaches around her mouth and she is dragged back, which freaks her out.

Shane: "Shh shh shh shh shh shh shh"

Lori: "You scared the hell out of me" (she laughs at him)

Shane: "I bet. That's what you get for keeping me waiting. I was trying to be quiet. Where you been?"

Lori: "Amy the mushroom queen... I had to wait for her to get back" (They start kissing)

Shane: "How much time do we have?"

Lori: "Enough"

The two are in the moment and proceed to make love. While undressing, they see Lori still has Rick's ring around her neck on a necklace. She takes it off and holds onto it in the grass while they proceed.

Shane: "Come here"

Lori: "Okay"

Cue opening credits! ...No? That's only for the show? Ok, well, shoot... Back to Rick I guess...

Back with the tank In Atlanta, Rick is still sitting in the tank when the voice is heard on the radio again.

Man on radio: "Hey, are you alive in there?"

Rick quickly crawls over and answers the radio.

Rick: "Hello? Hello?"

Man on radio: "There you are. You had me wondering"

Rick: "Where are you? Outside? Can you see me right now?"

Man on radio: "Yeah, I can see you. You're surrounded by walkers. That's the bad news"

Rick: "There's good news?"

Man on radio: "No"

Rick: "Listen, whoever you are, I don't mind telling you I'm a little concerned in here"

Man on radio: "Oh man. You should see it from over here. You'd be having a major freak-out"

Rick: "Got any advice for me?"

Man on radio: "Yeah, I'd say make a run for it"

Rick: "That's it? 'Make a run for it'?"

Man on radio: "My way's not as dumb as it sounds. You've got eyes on the outside here. There's one geek still up on the tank but the others have climbed down and joined the feeding frenzy where the horse went down. With me so far?"

Rick: "So far"

Man on radio: "Okay, the street on the other side of the tank is less crowded. If you move now while they're distracted, you stand a chance. Got ammo?"
