FLASHBACK

Ian is holding the hands of a young Carl and Vivian walking down a dirt road. The shot remains still as they walk further down the road.

PRESENT-HILLTOP

Brian gently covers Gracie up with a blanket as she lays in the crib. He looks at himself in the mirror.

Lyla walks into the room, Brian runs his hand over his face.

Lyla: Saw she was up so.......

She holds up a bottle.

Brian nods makes his way around the bed while Lyla walks past him and leans into the crib gently picking Gracie up in her arms.

Lyla: I figured this would make good practice, you know?

Brian: Yeah guess it'll make practice for both of us.

He looks around the room with a sad expression in his eyes

Brian: Siddiq told me what his mother believed and he said Carl wanted to honor her. And now I'm gonna honor him. Doesn't matter if Negan dies or whatever, I'm gonna honor him after today.

He turns and walks out of the room. Lyla looks at the doorway, tears brimming in her eyes.

ELSEWHERE

Shaun is sitting on the bench, Jerry approaches

Jerry: How you doing, boss?

He sits down beside him on the bench.

Shaun: If today's gonna be our last day on Earth, it's a great morning.

Jerry: This isn't the last of shit, man

Shaun: It could be for some of our people.

Jerry: I'm not accepting shit. Me and you, we're gonna be the last ones standing. I guarantee it.

Shaun: It's gonna be hard to justify everything we've lost, we risk losing everything else.

Jerry: We ain't losing shit----

Shaun looks at him, Jerry sends him that big old smile of his. They break out in laughter and fist bump each other.

Brian, Daryl, Annabelle, Vivian, and Rosita are standing around a table with a map laid out on the table.

Brian: All right, we'll stick to this road, keep to the trees, we'll get there quicker.

Daryl: Plus, we can keep an eye on the road that way.

Vivian: If they're planning something, we'll see it.

Michonne: You think you can trust Gregory? What he told us?

Annabelle: Maggie locked his ass up in the house.

Rick and Ian walks up to them.

Rick: He knew we wouldn't let him walk around free anyway. He knew he was coming back to that. He doesn't believe in anything except himself and he'd have to believe in the Saviors a whole lot to send us into a trap and think it would work out for him

Daryl: I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. When we win, he's gonna try something, I just know it

Rick: And if he does, we'll take care of it.

Brian: Unless Dwight didn't tell him. That asshole could be setting us up.

Rick and Ian gives each other a knowing look as Rick folds the map and shoves it in his pocket. I

WOODS

Everyone slowly walks through the woods, guns raised and kneels down. Vivian looks through a pair of binoculars before handing them to Carol who looks through towards the road where the Saviors has a car blocking the road.
