~~~Third persons view~~~
In the woods, Rick, Daryl, Ava and Carol start scheming to steal back their weapons. A walker creeps up on them, which Ava shoots multiple times before finally killing it, to make it seem like they were practicing. The trio notices the letter "W" carved in the walker's forehead.
Back at Rick's house, he and Michonne discuss the reasons why they have been made town constables and wonder if it's part of a larger plan.
~~~~~~
Elsewhere in the woods, Daryl catches Aaron following him, and together they go hunting when they come across a black horse Aaron calls Buttons which he has been trying to catch for months. The horse is spooked away by some walkers, and others later corner and attack it. Aaron and Daryl kill the walkers, and Aaron regretfully puts down the mortally wounded horse.

Meanwhile, Deanna explains a bit more about Rick and Michonne's job securing the community. She explains that Maggie will be helping her with politics and her vision is that one day the community will have a government. Outside, Deanna tells Rick she cannot have everyone walking around with guns. Sasha approaches them, saying she wants to man the clock tower with her rifle and displays her eagerness to have as "many shifts as possible" in the tower; Rick endorses Sasha as his group's sniper but Deanna rejects it.
~~~~~~
That night, Deanna throws a welcoming party for the group and invites the entire community. The group has trouble adjusting to their new surroundings: Abraham and Michonne discuss the difficulty of leaving behind the road and its dangers, and Sasha has flashbacks of her recent traumas and storms out after an outburst. Rick meets Jessie's son, Sam, and later gives Jessie a kiss on the cheek.
~~~~~~
Daryl and Ava skip the party, so Aaron invites them to dinner along with Eric and shows Daryl their garage full of old motorcycle parts. Aaron tells Daryl that he will need to construct a bike because Aaron wants him to replace Eric as a recruiter for Alexandria. Daryl know thinks on how to tell his wife.
While the party is underway, Carol, having already unlatched a window, sneaks into the storeroom where the guns are being held and takes three pistols from a bin as well as a small chocolate ration. Jessie's son Sam catches her and says he will tell his mother what he saw. Carol persuades him to remain silent with the promise of cookies, and a threat of tying him to a tree for walkers to eat if he breaks his silence.
At their meeting spot in the woods, Carol hands both Rick and Daryl a revolver, but Daryl refuses. Rick goes for a walk in Alexandria, where he sees Jessie and her husband, Pete Anderson

and briefly reaches towards his revolver. He hears a noise from outside the wall and runs in its direction, where a lone walker is banging on it from the other side. Rick puts his hand on the wall and appears to take some satisfaction in reconnecting with the animalistic life outside the walls.

Ava's P. O. V
"Yah sure Dare?, I don't want you getting hurt out there, and ya know Hunter will want to go with ya, how are we gonna go bout telling him?" I say to Daryl he had just told me that Aaron had asked him to become a recruiter "I'll be fine hun" "how to i know that though Dare?, you only got Aaron out there with you to watch ya back, I'm just, I'm worried bout you going out there, just the two of you's" "I thought ya liked Aaron?" "I do, but, argh just promise me ya will be careful, Venus wants to meet her dad one day" I tell him, he came up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, just "damn hun, Venus is getting big, I can just wrap my arms around ya" Daryl chuckles at me which I slap his arm for "don't remind me" I huff out. "She's bigger than what Hunter was" I reply as we make our way back to our house.
