Leo was running along with Lydia and Henry. They were behind Connie and Daryl. Henry tripped over and fall down, Leo and Lydia helped him up.

"You all right?" Leo asked.

"This isn't the way back to Hilltop." Henry said as he looked around.

"I made a deal with those assholes. We broke it. We ain't going back to Hilltop." Leo informed him.

"He's right. There's too many of them. Alpha would destroy Hilltop to get me back now." Lydia agreed.

"And why didn't you tell us there was that many of them?" Daryl snapped at Lydia.

Lydia looked at the man in disbelief. "You kept me locked in a cage. What did you expect? I wasn't going to betray my own people!"

"Well, maybe you should go back to 'em." Daryl argued "Henry didn't know what he was getting his ass into, but you sure as hell did." He pointed his finger at her.

The younger girl's gaze softened, "I thought I could go back... I can't."

Daryl dipped his head, "Well you ain't coming with us."

"Daryl..." Leo trailed off, making the Dixon man look at him.

Henry grabbed onto Lydia "Hey. Maybe we could run- me and her." he suggested "You guys go back, and - and we keep running. They can't blame Hilltop if we just disappear."

"Henry we can't." Lydia disagreed.

"And about your mom and dad?" Leo asked him.

"They don't need to know. Let me fix this." Henry insisted as looked at the buff man.

"No." Daryl denied "There's no way in hell I'm letting you run away with this one. No way! Think of your parents."

Connie suddenly got up, gesturing upwards with her hands, asking them to go and keep moving before something caught up with them.

"No, she's right. Come on. We gotta go. Come on." Leo said to them. Connie had been in the opposite direction, trying to get Daryl's attention. "Daryl." Leo nudged his head over to Connie.

"It's this way." Daryl said, pointing at the left where he was about to lead. Connie shook her head and pointed to her left, making it their right and the correct way to go. "Yeah, this way." Daryl said, still pointing in his direction.

The woman shook her head and began to go, leading the group.

"Guess we're going with her." Leo spoke and followed behind Connie along with Henry and Lydia.

Even the dog agreed with Connie's way. With no one else going to follow him, Daryl sheepishly took the other way.

After the whole night walking, the group finally found a town. Connie looked at the group and points to each one of them, herself included, and then points at the building.
