~~~Third person view~~~

As Glenn, Hunter, Tara, Sgt. Abraham, Rosita, and Dr. Eugene walk down the railroad tracks, Glenn comes across the message about Terminus that Maggie had previously left for him. Realizing Maggie is still alive, Glenn sprints forward down the tracks.

~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Rick, Carl and Michonne are on another part of the railroad tracks; Carl and Michonne continue to bond over a candy bar as they make their journey to Terminus.

~~~~~~

Elsewhere, Daryl and Len are hunting when Daryl kills a rabbit. Len then 'claims' the rabbit by saying "claim" and argues with Daryl, before Joe interrupts them. Joe explains to Daryl that the group has a few rules, one of them being that if they want something, saying "claimed" entitles them to what they lay claim to. Joe then cuts the rabbit in half for Len and Daryl, since the latter was not aware of the rule. While walking on the tracks, Joe encourages Daryl to stay with them, although he informs Daryl that whoever lies or steals from the group will take a severe beating.

~~~~~~

Glenn's group eventually comes across a tower where a walker is about to fall from the roof on top of Eugene, whom Hunter saves by shoving Eugene out of the way, but causes Tara to fall and injure her leg in the process.

Abraham wants to rest, but Glenn and Hunter want to push forward. Glenn then offers to give Eugene his riot gear for protection if Abraham's group goes with him to Terminus. Abraham accepts and the group moves on.

~~~~~~

After Joe's group 'the claimers' spends the night in a railroad platform, Daryl awakens to Len accusing him of stealing his half of the rabbit. Joe checks Daryl's bag, which contains Len's missing half, While Daryl angrily insists that he was set up, Joe punches Len and sics the group on him, and reveals that he witnessed Len put the rabbit in Daryl's bag. Upon leaving camp with the group, Daryl sees Len's beaten body with an arrow in his head. Joe informs Daryl that they are tracking a man who had killed one of their own and is possibly headed to Terminus. Later, Joe, Daryl, and the marauders walk past the wrapper from Carl's candy bar on the tracks but none notice it.

~~~~~~

Glenn's group approaches a tunnel and sees another sign from Maggie, urging Glenn to proceed. Abraham decides walking through the dark tunnel, which they can hear from the sounds inside is long and contains multiple walkers, is too dangerous. He leaves Glenn, Hunter and Tara with three cans of food and a flashlight, and tells them to backtrack to the last road if they have trouble getting through.

Inside the tunnel, Tara tells Glenn and Hunter how badly she feels about her involvement with 'Brain's attack on the prison and expresses how badly she felt about the death of Hershel and that she is willing to make it up to Glenn. They are then overwhelmed by walkers, and Tara gets her foot caught on a rockfall. Things become dire, but the pair is rescued by Maggie Sasha, and Bob, alongside Abraham's group (after Eugene navigates Rosita to drive towards the far side of the tunnel while Abraham sleeps).

Maggie is glad to see Hunter is alive and as well as he can be, then her and Tara are properly introduced. Maggie warmly welcomes Tara when she learns of Tara's help in finding her, but Tara is noticeably guilt ridden for her involvement in her father's death.

Eugene manages to convince Abraham to go to Terminus with the others, as the place can be a "home base" for them, and they might be able to recruit others at Terminus to come to Washington which Sasha agrees on as Tyreese could be there and so does Hunter, in hopes his parents and he hopes Crystal as well.

The merged group finally reach Terminus and enter with ease. A woman named Mary welcomes them and offers them some meat.
