      DARYL HEADED OUT THE FOLLOWING MORNING, EAGER TO track down Dwight, the man responsible for Denise's death. Josie was with Michonne, Glenn, and Maggie as they organized their weapons.

      Suddenly, they all heard the roar of a motorcycle and they looked up, all their eyes widening as Daryl rode out of Alexandria.

      "Oh, God," Michonne sighed.

      "What's he doing?" Maggie asked.

      "Something he shouldn't," Josie replied, taking off for the gates as everyone else followed behind her.

      "I'm going after him," Glenn said.

      Josie looked at him. "What?"

      Maggie sighed and looked at her husband. "Glenn..."

      "I'm gonna bring him back, okay?" Glenn reassured her. "I'll be back soon."

      Michonne and Rosita decided to join him and Josie crossed her arms, standing with Maggie as they watched until the van was out of view before they went back to organizing the weapons.

      Later in the day, Josie and Enid had put Maggie on house arrest, doing her chores so that she could rest. The brunette was in Maggie's kitchen, putting up the dishes.

      "Hey, Jo?" Maggie asked.

      "Yeah, what's up?" Josie replied, setting the dish towel on the counter.

      "Can you cut my hair?" Maggie asked.

      "Yeah, sure," Josie replied with a smile, calling Enid into the kitchen. The brunette stood behind Maggie, who sat in a chair as she ran her hands through her hair. "How short do you wanna go?"

      "Short," Maggie replied. "You get what I'm putting down?"

      Josie nodded and hummed with another smile. "Oh, yeah."

      Josie grabbed a pair of scissors, beginning to cut Maggie's hair as Enid sat across from them. The three of them talked for a while and as soon as Josie finished cutting Maggie's hair, she placed the scissor down and handed Maggie a mirror.

      "What do you think?" Josie asked as Maggie looked at herself in the mirror, looking satisfied.

      "Why?" Enid asked.

      "Why, what?" Maggie asked, placing the mirror down.

      "Why'd you cut all your hair?" Enid asked again.

      Maggie sighed. "I have to keep going and I don't want anything getting in my way."

      "Whoa, that was ominous," Josie commented.

      Maggie smiled at her before she suddenly tensed up, placing a hand on her stomach and letting out a small groan.

      "Shit, did I go too short?" Josie asked.

      "No, it's not that," Maggie shook her head.

      "Maggie, are you okay?" Enid asked.

      Maggie nodded slowly before she let out a painful scream and dropped to the ground, clutching onto her abdomen as Enid and Josie crouched down in front of her.

      "Okay, Enid, stay here with her," Josie said, getting back to her feet and rushing out of the house.

      The brunette ran around for a moment, looking for Rick before she spotted him and Parker standing by the gates.
