At the RV,

Andrea searches for something in the cabinets. Dale comes in.

"Wrapping paper, color tissue, anything?" Andrea asks Dale.

"Seriously?" Dale asks in disbelief a bit.

"How can you not have any?" Andrea questions in disbelief as well.

"Had I been informed of the impending apocalypse I'd have stocked up." Dale says jokingly.

"It's Amy's birthday tomorrow. I've been marking days on the calendar just to make sure." Andrea informs Dale.

She shows him the mermaid necklace that she got for Amy at the department store in Atlanta.

"You don't give a gift unwrapped." Andrea says.

"Deep breath. I'm sure l'Il find something here." Dale tells her reassuringly.

Outside,

"I, uh, built up the rocks all around. See? So the flames can be a little higher and have 'em be hidden." Morales says.

Shane and Carl walk up to Jim.

"Hey, Jim. How you feeling, man?" Shane asks Jim.

"I'm better. More myself now." Jim tells Shane.

"I hope you understand the need for this.. this timeout. I've got others I've got to think about. I just want to make sure there's no... there's no hard feelings." Shane tells Jim.

"There's not. I do understand." Jim says to Shane in understanding.

"Okay. Why don't you come join in with the rest of us? Big ol' fish fry." Shane says to Jim happily.

"I'd like that very much." Jim says happily.

"Okay." Shane exclaims.

In the Tent,

Carol and Sophia come to see Ed in the tent. Ed's face is bruised and he has been in the tent since the beating.

"Why don't you come outside with everybody?" Carol asks her husband.

"Hell with them people. Wouldn't piss on them if their heads were on fire." Ed grunted out bitterly.

Sophia goes to leave, but Ed holds onto her.

"Hey! Why don't you stay here? Keep your daddy company." Ed says to his daughter softly.

"Ed, she wants to join in. Come on." Carol says, wary of his intentions.

They both leave. Ed continues to lie down in the tent.

"Fine. Hell with the both of you. Ain't no need to be bothering me no more the rest of the night." Ed says to the two angrily.

Outside, As dusk approaches, Rose, Rick, Glenn, T-Dog & Daryl run back to camp before Merle arrives.

At the Survival Camp,

The group enjoys a fish dinner. Everyone is having a good time.

"Pass the fish, please." The woman asks.

"Here you go." The man says happily.

"Man o man, that's good. I miss this." The man states.

"I've got to ask you, man. It's been driving me crazy." Morales says.

"What?" Dale asks.

"That watch." Morales said.

"What's wrong with my watch?" Dale asks in confusion.
