Dale is watching on top of the RV. Amy is walking though the camp with a red blanket heading toward Lori

Lori: Any luck?

She holds up a bowl as Amy pours mushrooms from the blanket into the bowl

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

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

Amy: Ask Ian?

Lori: That's the plan

They chuckle

Lori: Ian!

Ian turns around who's talking to Grady

Ian: Yeah?

Amy: Could you come over here?

Ian nods at Grady and turns around walking towards them

Lori: Dale, I'm heading out.

She looks towards Vivian and Carl

Lori: Viv, watch over your brother for me

Vivian: Got it.

Lori: Listen to your sister

Carl: Okay mom

Lori strokes her daughter's hair as she walks past her with the bucket.

Dale: Don't wander too far. Stay within shouting distance and if you see anything, hollar, I'll come running

Grady: But you may break a hip, grandpa?

Dale looks down at him and glares

Dale: I hate you

Grady chuckles as he walks into the RV.

LATER

Grady is fixing the radiator's hose. Dale stands behind him watching him work

Dale: Boy, that hose isn't long for this world, is it?

Jim: No sir

Grady: Where the hell are we gonna find a replacement?

Amy is pacing back and forth

Amy: It's late. They should've been back by now

Dale: Worrying isn't gonna make it better.

ELSEWHERE

Sam is teaching Carl how to tie knots.

Lori and Vivian are doing clothes nearby, Vivian though looks bored.

Vivian: Mom?

Lori: Yeah?

Vivian: Do you miss dad?

Lork: Of course I do. There isn't a day that goes by that I'm not thinking about him. Why do you ask?

Vivian: Just thought about him and that fight you two had the day he got shot.

Lori: You know what I wanted to do that day?

Vivian: What?

Lori: Apologize. I wanted to talk to him when he got back from work......I wanted to say I'm sorry and I shouldn't said something like that to you in front of our kids

Vivian: You should know, I'm sure dad forgave you cause he loved you

Lori looks at her feeling guilty. The radio turns on

T-Do: Hello base camp. Can anybody out there hear me? Base camp, this is T-Dog. Anybody hear me?

Ian grabs the radio

Ian: Hello? Dog?

T-Dog: Ian? That you?

Lori: Is that them?

Ian nods

T-Dog: We're in some deep shit. We're trapped in the department store.

Grady: Did he say they're trapped?

Lori wraps her arms around Vivian and Carl.

T-Dog: There are geeks all over the place. Hundreds of em. We're surrounded.

Ian: Dog, repeat that last. Repeat

The radio stops working.

Lori: He said the department store

Dale: I heard it too

Grady: Shane?

Shane: No way. We do not go after them. We do not risk the rest of the group. Y'all know that

Amy: So we're just gonna leave them there?

Shane: Look Amy, I' know this isn't easy----

Amy: She volunteered to go to help the rest of us.

Shane: I know and she knew the risks, right? See if she's trapped, she's gone. So we just have to deal with it. There's nothing we can do

Amy: She's my sister, you son of a bitch

She storms away. Vivian sighs following her. There are thunder sounds

Ian: Wow you're a ray of sunshine

Shane: Bite me

Ian: Go fuck yourself.

TENTS

Amy walks to the tents

Vivian: Amy, wait up!

Amy blinks away tears in her eyes turning to her

Amy: What? You gonna say I shouldn't be mad at him?

Vivian: Hell no! Andrea is your sister, you have every right to be mad at him.

Amy: Yeah

Vivian grabs her chin leaning in pressing their lips together, Amy closes her eyes wrapping her arms around her neck moving her lips against hers. Vivian pushes her inside her tent and Amy unbuttons her shirt sliding it down her shoulders

Vivian lifts her shirt over her head and lays her down on the cot
