HILLTOP

The Alexandria wagons pulls inside the gate as Raj climbs out of the wagon, placing Liam down on the ground then helps RJ out of the wagon.

Earl glares at Gamma as he approaches Raj.

Earl: Hey. Who is that?

Raj looks behind him towards Gamma.

Raj: It's Mary. She ran away from Alpha's camp. She's been helping us out.

Earl: What's she doing here?

Raj: Her nephew is, uh, Adam. She wants to see him.

Earl: No.

Raj: Warl, can we talk about this?

Earl: You said you were gonna bring people who wanted to see Alex, not one of our enemies that wants to see my son.

Raj: She's not our enemy.

Earl: You don't know that. You keep her away from my kid.

He turns and storms away. Raj watches him go and sighs.

Jenna: Earl. Earl.

Earl stops and turns around to face her

Earl: What the hell did he think I was gonna say, Jenna? Those people left that kid out there to die.

Jenna: She sees Alex and then she goes. That's it. I'll handle it, okay?

Earl sighs, patting her on the arm and walks away.

LATER

Luke: Ah Kel, this is nuts. You can hardly walk.

Kelly is leaning against one of the columns on the porch, wrapping her ankle up.

Kelly: I'm not leaving my sister out there.

Raj walks up onto the porch and looks down at her

Kelly: I'm going with you guys.

Luke: Raj, help me out here.

Yumiko: What was the last thing Magna said to you?

Kelly: Why does it matter? We're getting em back.

Yumiko: What if we don't? You know? All we're ever gonna know is that damn ceiling caved in.

Kelly: If you think they're dead, why are you coming with us?

Raj steps in between them holding his hand out giving Kelly a look.

They hear engines seeing Brian and Daryl riding their bikes inside the gate. Lydia is riding on the back of Brian's bike.

Jenna: Any sign of them?

Brian: We didn't get that far.

Raj: What do you mean? What happened?

Daryl: We gotta talk.

Luke: D, B, I'm sorry. We gotta find our people.

Lydia: No you can't go out there

Raj and Jenna looks at her confused

Jenna: Why the hell not?

Raj: Seriously, guys, what's going on?

Brian: Alpha's coming.

Luke: Oh fuck me sideways and tie me to a tie

ELSEWHERE

Raj: Eyes open. Any sign of a horde approach or Whisperer movement, you radio us. Be safe.

The two people nods their heads as Raj turns around and opens up the door making his way inside the study.
