"Mom, don't, please," Ben sighs while Lori is brushing out his hair.

"James, you're next," Lori says as James walks out of the tent.

"Great, another torment," he sighs walking away to the quarry but stopping when they hear a car alarm.

"Talk to me, Dale!" Shane says running past James while Gwyn gets out of her tent.

"Can't tell yet," dale says looking through his binoculars.

Chaos breaks out when Glenn arrives in a red race car with the alarm still on. Gwyn starts crying as she runs into his arms and holds onto him. Amy starts screaming at Glenn for her sister while Shane demands for Glenn to pop the hood.

He lets go of his little sister and opens the hood of the car before he wipes away Gwyn's tears. "I'm okay, I'm not going anywhere," he promises before hugging her again.

Not long after a moving van arrives to camp and everybody comes back, except for Merle. Andrea and Amy get reunited but the real heartbreaker for the Grimes family is the family of Morales getting reunited.

Ben storms to his tent and goes inside making James look after him before looking at his father. Shane motions with his eyes for him to follow his best friend. "You okay?" James asks sitting next Ben who wipes away his tears.

"I'm fine," he shrugs.

"Dad! Dad!" They hear Carl yell making both boys get up with frowns.

They walk out to see Ben's father hugging his mother and Carl. "Dad?" Ben asks stumbling back for a bit while James holds him up.

Ben suddenly gains his body back after shock and runs to his father. Rick lets go of his wife and youngest son and meets his son halfway. Ben starts crying while Rick holds onto him also crying himself.

The next day, Iza stumbles in front of Daryl out of the woods. "What the fuck," she gasps as she's met with weapons pointed in her face.

"Son of a bitch," Daryl says seeing the walker.

Gwyn hugs Iza and takes her back to camp where Iza is met with a hug from Lori. "Everything okay?" She asks.

Iza nods hugging her back. "Well, well. Look who's back," James smiles playing with a knife.

"Stop playing with knives," Lori says ripping it out of his hand.

"Yes, 'mother'," James says with an eye roll.

"Watch your mouth, young man," Lori says while she walks into the rv.

James smiles as he looks at Ben who walks out of their tent with a book in his hands. "Yo, Benjamin! You in for some swimming?" He shouts while Gwyn looks at the men that come back from the woods.

"No, thanks. I'm fine with reading my book," Ben says not looking up while he navigates around the men that start arguing.

Iza looks at her father while he starts fighting with Shane and a man that she doesn't know. "James, who's that?" She asks.

"Who the fuck are you?" She hears her dad ask.

"Rick Grimes," the man says making Iza look at Ben and Carl who both ignore her look of confusion.

"Yeah, he's their dad," James smiles next her.

"No, he's dead," Iza says making James shake his head.

"He's alive, he survived coma for three months without help of anyone," he shrugs.

"That's impossible," she whispers with a frown.

Not long after the teens are swimming in the quarry while Shane and Carl are fishing for frogs and the women are doing laundry. Iza climbs on a rock in her underwear while Gwyn is already sat on it.

"You girls really gonna sit up there?" James asks while Ben swims up to him.

"Yes," Gwyn smiles going through her hair with her fingers.

"What was you guys's favorite subject in school?" Ben asks sitting on the rock too while James sighs as he climbs on it.

The girls start thinking while James sits in front of Iza making the four sit in a circle. "I loved basketball, I was really good at it too," Gwyn smiles.

"I got kicked out," Iza shrugs getting up and diving into the water.

"Really?" Ben asks as she gets up.

"Yeah, a guy was touching one of my friends. So I beat him into the hospital when he was in the locker rooms for basketball," she smiles staying in the chilly water.

James nods impressed. "I just come to like you more," he smiles before pushing Ben into the water.

Gwyn and Iza laugh as Ben comes up for air. "Asshole!" He shouts with a smile.

Iza swims over to him and goes around him. "How about a match?" She asks going under and only leaving her mouth.

"No," he says shaking his head.

"You scared you'll lose?" She smiles splashing water in his face.

"From you? No way," he chuckles before he starts swimming.

She is quick to catch up and swims to the shore. She runs out of the water where she jumps a bit while Gwyn cheers her on.

Suddenly there's screaming while Shane is beating up Ed. Iza shoots around to look at the screaming and watches in shock. The teens all four stand on the beach watching in shock while Shane gets up and walks away.

"What the fuck," Iza mumbles while James and Ben look at each other.

She grabs Gwyn's hand and drags her to their clothes. "What do you think that was about?" Gwyn asks.

"Taking out his frustrations," Ben says while drying off.

James scoffs grabbing his clothes and gets dressed. "Whats gotten into him?" Iza asks.

"Nothing," Ben lies putting on his jeans.

Iza and Gwyn make eye contact. They both know he is lying and can guess why.
