In the woods, the Reapers continue tracking the survivors. Lynn looks down a former campfire, slowly tracking, then smirks. At the hydro-electrical plant, Cassandra, having just told the plan, vents to James.
Cassandra: No. No. No. I don't give a fuck. You tell them no.
James: Cassandra, I can't just have this hanging over my head.
Cassandra: We've finally got something going good and...you can't just throw it away.
As James and Cassandra argue, Kyle looks over to Sarah.
Sarah: You still want to go through with this?
Kyle: It's for the best.
Sarah places her hands on Kyle's forearm.
Sarah: And you're okay with me staying with you guys?
Kyle: I had a feeling if I did say no, you would've followed me anyway.
Sarah smiles.
Sarah: I'm not abandoning you this time.
Kyle and Sarah stare into each other's eyes and start to lean towards each other, before Shawn walks over to the two.
Shawn: Morning, you guys!
Kyle folds his lips as Sarah shuts her eyes.
Shawn: Uh...did I interrupt something?
Kyle: No, Shawn. You didn't.
Cassandra: All it takes is one bullet. One knife and then I end up a widow. Do you understand that?
James: I don't like it..... I can't just let them do this on their own, either. They're family. Shawn, Sarah and Kyle. They're family, honey.
Cassandra sighs in disappointment, but gives a look of understanding. Cassandra comes back into the room and glares at Kyle, Shawn and Sarah for a moment.
Cassandra: If anything happens to him, his blood is on your hands.
Cassandra leaves as James comes into the room and sighs.
James: Okay, you two can go to the armory and gather some supplies. Marcus is running it.
Kyle: Thanks, James.
Sarah goes over to James and hugs him, where he hugs her back. The three make their way out and start to make their way towards the armory, but only a few steps later, Maya runs over to them.
Maya: Kyle! Sarah!
Confused, the three adults turn to Maya.
Shawn: What is it, Maya?
Maya comes up to the group of adults.
Maya: It's Rachel! She's gone! She took one of our horses and rode off.
Kyle: What?!
Sarah: Damn it.
Shawn turns to James.
Shawn: James!
James: I know. I just heard!
Kyle: Which way?
James: C'mon.
Kyle, Shawn, James, Sarah, Cassandra and Maya head towards the front gate.
James: Has she ever pulled stunts like this?
Shawn: No.
Kyle: I don't know what the hell is going on.
Maya: Don't worry. We'll find her.
