Iza is standing outside the door of Carol's cell. She is smiling as Rick and the others come up to them. Their reunion is emotional as Carol also gets to learn about the death of Lori and the birth of the baby.

Rick, Hershel and Daryl leave to talk to the woman they brought in. But not long after, Rick comes back and tells the teens that he needs their help. Not long after, they are getting ready to leave.

Ben looks at Iza before walking to Rick. "I don't want Iza to come," he says.

"Why not?" he asks.

"It won't be safe..." his dad looks at him in a certain way, "I don't really have a good reason, but i just don't want her to come," Ben sighs.

"Son, i get that. But even if it would be dangerous, we don't have the numbers to not take you five with us,"
Rick says.

"Dad...I've been falling for her. And i have been falling hard. I don't want to lose her. Not her too," Ben says with tears in his eyes.

Rick smiles as he looks at Iza. "Does she know?" he asks as she looks at Ben before Daryl walks up to her and hands her a hairtie, probably telling her to put her hair up.

"I haven't told her yet. I'm scared that the second i do, something happens and i lose her forever," Ben admits.

Rick nods looking at his son again. "This life, it was to short before, but it most definitely is to short now. Yes, you can lose her. But imagine losing her, and not knowing how she feels about you. To always have to ask yourself if she loved you or not," he says while grabbing his shoulder.

"What do i do?" Ben asks with a frown.

"When you love someone? You tell them, before you lose them," Rick says.

"You guys ready?" Daryl calls out.

They both nod before they walk to the car. They all get in, the teens in the jeep. They all look at each other and Gwyn nods as James starts the car. They leave the prison, all ready to fight the town with a whole armory.

After half an hour, the vehicles are parked and they walk the rest of the way. A herd blows through making them run to a cabin. The man inside starts trying to get to the door, leaving the group no choice but to kill him.

They throw him out a distrection before running out through the back. When they get to the town, they lay low for a while. As they lay low, Rick scans their surroundings.
