Ella, Sebastian, and Autumn are helping the group clean up the dead walkers when Jacqui starts yelling. "A walker got him! A walker bit Jim!" she yells.
Jim starts backing away from her. Everyone turns their attention to the two. "I'm okay, I'm okay" Jim repeats
Daryl walks up to Jim. "Show it to us." Daryl demands "Show it to us" he repeats.
Jim picks up a shovel. "Easy Jim," Shane says.
"Grab him," Daryl says. Everyone is speaking over each other making it hard for Ella to hear anyone. T-dog grabs Jim from behind.
"I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay." Jim just keeps repeating. Daryl lifts up Jim's shirt revealing a bite.
Ella gasps "holy shit," she says in an almost whisper.
"Watch your mouth," Autumn tells her to which Ella just rolls her eyes. Ella kinda feels bad for Jim she didn't know Jim didn't even speak to him but she's still sad that he's dying because now she'll never know him.
The adults are talking about how to handle the Jim situation while the kids are in the tents.

The group is burying the bodies when Daryl says. "I still think it's a mistake not burning these bodies," he says, Ella disagrees she believes everyone deserves to be buried. "It's what we said we'd do, right? Burn 'em all, wasn't that the idea?" Ella thinks Daryl talks a lot too.
"At first," Shane says.
"The Chinaman gets all emotional, says it's not the thing to do, we just follow him along? These people need to know who the hell's in charge here, what the rules are." Daryl says going on a tiny rant.
"There are no rules," Rick tells him.
"Well, that's a problem" Lori decides to speak up. "We haven't had one minute to hold onto anything of our old selves. We need time to mourn and we need to bury our dead. It's what people do." she says and with that, she walks away.
"God she talks a lot." Sebastian scoffs.
"She's right though." Ella tries to defend Lori.
"No, I think we should burn the bodies," Sebastian says.
"They deserve to be buried," Ella argues.
"You say that as if you know them." Sebastian rolls his eyes and walks away.

Andrea is burying Amy and Dale tries to help but she denies it "I can do it. I can do it." she crying. "I can do it! I can do it!" she says a little louder.
"Jeez, why are the women so weak," Sebastian says sarcastically.
"Just because we feel more doesn't make us weak" Autumn glares at him.
"Yeah, you'd cry too if one of us died," Ella says.
"No I wouldn't" he rolls his eyes.
Loris also crying and a few others too. They start walking back to the camp. Ella tries to stay close to Carl as they walk back.
