Sorry I suck at descriptions guess you guys will just have to read and...
Rick chases down Sergeant Bob Lamson in a police car after Lamson's escape from Sasha. Lamson ignores Rick's warnings to stop, so Rick runs him over. A crippled Lamson pleads to be taken to the hospital, however Rick executes him on the spot with his revolver. Fearing that Lamson's death will result in violence between Rick's group and Lieutenant Dawn crew, Rick and Officers Shepherd and Licari, the other two captured cops from GMH that were captured along with Lamson, agree to concoct a story that Lamson was killed by walkers.
At the hospital, order starts to break down when the officers fail to recapture Noah or report in, and others soon begin to lose faith in Dawn's leadership. O'Donnell confronts Dawn, threatening to remove her as leader. The two get into a fight, resulting in O'Donnell's death when Beth pushes him down the elevator shaft. Beth later accuses Dawn of manipulating her into eliminating Gormen and O'Donnell, who were threats to Dawn's position, and again vows to escape. Dawn denies the accusation and promises to remember Beth's support. During their conversation, Carol begins to wake up.

After fleeing the church, Gabriel reaches the school where The Hunters had set up camp. He discovers the remnants of Bob's leg. Walkers break out of the school and chase Gabriel back to the church, where he is cornered against the fortified front door and experiences the fear of his parishioners. Hearing Gabriel's screams for help, Hunter, Carl and Michonne break down the front door, allowing Gabriel inside but they are then overwhelmed with walkers and are forced to retreat to the rectory. Once there, Gabriel holds off the walkers while Ava, Hunter, Carl, Michonne and Judith escape through the hole Gabriel had made previously in the floor of his office, then follows himself; they reseal the front doors, trapping the walkers inside.
At that moment, Abraham's group arrives in the fire truck, bringing the news that Eugene's mission was a lie. Which Ava wasn't happy to hear, yet when she was first told about what Eugene said about being able to make a cure, she knew it was to good to be true. Ava then informs her friend Maggie they know where Beth is, and they head to Atlanta.

Ava's P. O. V
"She will be fine, Mags" I say as I put my small hand on her shoulder giving it a light squeeze trying my best to reassure her, her younger sister; the only blood family she has left, is and will be alright. "I hope your right Ava" she whispers out 'God, me to Mags' I think to myself as I watch my friend worrying out the fire truck's window.

Meanwhile, Rick meets up with another pair of officers and proposes to trade Shepherd and Licari for Beth and Carol. They agree, and Rick's group meets Dawn and her officers at the hospital. As Beth packs up, she hides a pair of scissors in her cast.
The trade initially goes smoothly, but Dawn adds a condition at the last second, demanding Rick to hand over Noah. Rick and Beth are reluctant, but Noah agrees so as to prevent bloodshed. Beth goes to give him a hug, but as she does so, Dawn makes a gloating comment in reference to her earlier conversation with Beth. Angered, Beth faces Dawn and icily tells her, "I get it now". With that, Beth stabs Dawn's shoulder with the scissors. Caught off guard, Dawn reflexively fires her pistol into the side of Beth's head, killing her instantly.
Despite Dawn's own shock and pleas for mercy, an enraged Daryl immediately pulls out his own pistol and shoots her in the head, killing her. The resulting stand-off is defused by Shepherd, who tells the remaining officers to hold their fire. She insists that Dawn was the problem all along, and that it is all over now that she is dead.
Dr. Edwards offers to let Rick and his group stay at the hospital, but Rick declines. Instead, he offers anyone in the hospital who wants to leave to join his group, but only Noah accepts. As they exit the hospital, they encounter the rest of the group, waiting outside, Maggie breaks down when she sees Daryl carrying Beth's dead body.

Ava's P. O. V
"NOO!" I hear my friend scream in pain and sink to the ground, as my husband walks out of the hospital with a dead Beth in his arms also holding tears back, I walk up to Daryl and wrap my arms around him after he placed Beth on the ground gently and he instantly put his arms around me hugging me tight "it'll be okay Dare" I sadly whisper in his ear as his grip only tightens, I can also lightly hear Hunter sob and Crystal softly saying sweet things in his ear. Both Daryl and Hunter cared deeply for Beth, and they would take her death hard, after I unwrapped my arms from Daryl I went over to Maggie who was getting hugged by her husband Glenn, while she was still sitting on the ground, I knelt down to warp my arms around her "I'm so sorry Mags" I sob out to her as she, like Daryl just hugged me tighter.
