As the walkers come toward the house preparing to take it down, Lee tells everyone where to go in order to secure it for the time being while he stands near the doggy door. The first person that he points to is Christa as she's closest to him. 

Lee: Get on the windows in the front room. Check the boards.

Christa: Got it!

Christa runs off. Next he looks at Kenny who's waiting on Lee to tell him directions. 

Lee: Move anything you can up against the doors and windows.

Kenny: That's what I was thinking!

Kenny runs off. After him, Lee looks at Molly and Carley. 

Lee: Help move things around with Kenny. 

Molly: You got it. 

Carley: Sure. 

They run off to help Kenny and Lee looks at Y/n. 

Lee: Try to search the kitchen drawers for weapons we can use. 

Y/n: Okay. 

Finally, Lee calls out to Omid who's staring at something with a shocked expression on his face.

Lee: Omid! What is it? 

Omid starts running toward the front door and that's when Lee finally sees that the door is wide open. 

Lee: Everyone, front doors! 

Everyone hears Lee and immediately books it to the door, all except for Y/n who's still looking for something to use. Lee starts to run, but falls on his back as a walker reaches through the doggy door and grabs his leg. Y/n sees this and starts speeding up his search until he eventually finds a cleaver in the drawer. 

Y/n: This will work. 

Y/n looks over and sees Lee repeatedly kicking the pet door with his other leg, but the walker won't let go until Y/n runs over and chops through it's wrist with the cleaver he found. After a struggle with the walker hand, Lee gets up; everyone else is holding the front doors closed as walkers reach through.

Kenny: Lee, help! 

Christa: Cut their fucking arms off!

Molly: Better hurry up! These fuckers are piling up against the door!

Y/n looks at Lee for a moment before tossing him the cleaver he had just used to cut off the walker's hand. With Lee's one good arm, he catches the cleaver and the two run toward the door. 

Carley: Take their fucking arms off!

Taking quick action, Lee starts to chop off the hands that are reaching through the door and preventing it from closing. One after another, Lee chops off the walkers hands and the group pushes the doors all the way closed.

Y/n: That was a little too close. 

Omid: Now what? 

Molly: Get ready to fight.

Christa turns to Molly. 

Christa: This place seems sturdy to me. I think we're fine. 

Almost as soon as she finishes speaking, a walker's arm crashes through a nearby window. More walkers break down the door and climb through the windows. Y/n starts to shoot at them with a few flame bullets, hitting two in the head before more start coming through. The ones closest to each other shoving the next. 

Lee: Sturdy my ass! Get upstairs! 

Kenny: Go! 

Everyone but Lee runs upstairs and while he's killing walkers, he comes across the walker version of Brie that somehow found its way here either through sheer luck or some sort of messed up joke. He doesn't hesitate to kill it then joins the others, who are shooting at the walkers. Kenny is trying to push a desk.
