~~~Third person's view~~~

As the Alexandrians clean up the following Wolves' attack, Rick appears at the gate, shouting for them to be opened, as the walkers which escaped from the main herd pursue. He gets inside before the walkers surround the town, and instructs the townspeople to keep noise and light to a minimum until the rest of his team returns.

Aaron sadly confesses that the Wolves discovered the Safe Zone because of him, which shatters what's left of the town's spirits. That night, a drunken Spencer has an angry argument with his mother, Deanna, during which he blames her for the deaths of his father and brother.

Elsewhere, Carl approaches Ron about Enid, who disappeared during the Wolves' attack, and asks him to help him find her. Ron refuses and threatens to tell Rick if Carl goes outside the walls.

~~~~~~

Tara visits Denise, who is operating on the injured Scott, and discovers that Denise is struggling with her lack of knowledge as a doctor and wants to quit. Maggie, upon learning that Glenn and Nicholas have disappeared, arms herself and prepares to go out and look for Glenn. Aaron insists upon accompanying her, on the basis that it will be too dangerous for her to go alone. She agrees, and follows him through a sewer that takes them under the wall and bypasses the walkers surrounding it.

After fending off a couple of walkers in the sewer, they reach the exit, only to discover that the back end of the herd is right outside. Despondent, Maggie admits defeat and tearfully reveals to Aaron that she is pregnant.

~~~~~~

With morale at an all-time low in Alexandria, Jessie goes to check on David's widow, Betsy, but discovers that she committed suicide and is now a walker.

The commotion draws the attention of the other townspeople, and in their presence, Jessie kills the zombified Betsy. She tells them she understands not wanting to acknowledge how things are, but that fighting is the new reality they must live with. This empowers the rest of the town to start taking action.

Ron goes to find Rick and tells him that he is ready to learn how to handle a gun, while Maggie and Aaron erase Glenn and Nicholas' names from the memorial wall that has been set up, hoping they might still be alive.

Denise reads through the medical journals and comes up with a solution to save Scott. Later, she finds Tara and kisses her.

~~~~~~

That evening, Rick and Deanna converse about the recent events. Deanna admits she is not fit to lead the town and appoints Rick the new leader of Alexandria. Later, he visits Jessie in her garage, and they kiss.

Deanna, meanwhile, goes to the gate and bangs it defiantly

Deanna, meanwhile, goes to the gate and bangs it defiantly. As she leaves, however, she fails to notice a trickle of blood pouring through a crack in the wall.

~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Ava is still on the couch having bad and painful contractions, and is only saying that she wants Daryl there with her, and that now she is scared and starts to slowly cry, to which Carol and Crystal try their best to calm her down.

Maggie although torn on weather staying with Ava while she's in labour and going to find her husband, to which Ava tells her to go find Glenn, and thankfully as Maggie leaves, Carol comes, so Carol takes over Maggie's roll, and starts to coach Ava though her contractions which are getting closer and closer together.
