Rory is with you Ella and Brady, she doesn't really feel the best because Sophia is dead. "You okay?" Ella asks her.

"Yeah, just weird knowing Sophia's actually dead and not just missin', y'know?" She replies shrugging.

"Yeah, I get it." Ella nods in understanding.

Rory sighs. "I feel bad for Beth, she basically just found out her mama died."

"Yeah, but, her mom's been dead, she knew that. I don't think she wanted to believe it though so they believed the thing about the cure." Ella says.

"Still feel bad." She mumbles.

"I know." Ella smiles weakly. "But it's not you're fault, don't needa feel bad." She tells her.

"I know, but, like, I always feel bad, about everything. Guess I just wish I didn't care so much about everything." Rory looks at her and Ella looks back.

"I think feeling is a good thing, I feel too much too." She shrugs not looking away.

"You're better at hiding it."  Rory looks away.

"Everyone's different." Ella says trying to make her feel better about the whole thing.

The whole day is pretty boring since Rick and Shane went to drop Randall off somewhere and Maggie and Lori are mostly just looking after Beth.

Rick and Shane come back with Randall which is weird because he was supposed to be dropped off. They put him in the barn and Daryl has a "talk" with him. Rory knows that Daryl ain't just talking to Randall probably beating him or something.

Almost everyone is standing around by the tents. "We'd all feel better if we knew the plan." Lori says.

"Is there a plan?" Andrea scoffs.

"We gonna keep him here?" Glenn asks. Rory is standing right next to Glenn.

"We'll know soon enough." Rick says.

There's a bit of silence and then Daryl starts walking up to all of them. His knuckles all bloody. "Boy there got a gang, 30 men. Got heavy artillery and they ain't looking to make friends. They roll through here, our boys are dead. And out women, they're gonna... they're gonna wish they were." Daryl tells everyone.

"What did you do?" Lori asks though it's pretty obvious just looking at his bloody knuckles.

"Had a little chat." He says walking off.

"No one goes near this guy." Rick says.

"Rick, what are you gonna do?" Lori asks.

"We have no choice. He's a threat." Rick says, Rory knows what that means they're gonna kill Randall. "We have to eliminate the threat."

"You're just gonna kill him?" Dale asks. Dale doesn't seem too fond of killing Randall even though Randall is basically a stranger.

"It's settled. I'll do it today." Rick says walking off Dale follows after him.

Rory finds Dale because she's not sure how she feels about killing Randall. Dale's the smartest person on the farm or at least she thinks so. "Hey, Dale."
