ON THE ROAD, THE GROUP WALKS UNMOTIVATED, THEY WERE DOWN ON MORAL. Down on food and water. Anastasia saw how unmotivated her kids were. Joaquin and Ash walked together. Joaquin had taken Luca's backpack carrying it for the young boy.
"We do what we can with what we have, we always have." Anastasia tells Rick who carries Judith, who began fussing. "She's hungry." She looks at him, reaching for one of the baby bottles in her bag.
"She's fine." He says.
"No, Rick she isn't. I have enough formula for Meredith. She needs." She tells him giving him a stern look. "Take it for her." She holds out the bottle to him.
"You kept the bottle." He says taking the bottle and feeding Judith who drinks it. Anastasia looks at her, and smiles seeing her eat away.
"We usually use it for Judith. Meredith has her own." She says. "If we don't find food, worse comes to worse, we eat formula again, for dinner." She says. Rick looks at her, not knowing where this positivity is coming from. "We can't give in, we have kids relying on us." She says and he nods. The two being the parents with kids left in their group, often relied on each other for support and understanding.
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THUNDER RUMBLS AND A BRANCH SNAP, THEY TURN AROUND quickly only to see it's Daryl. He sits down, and Abraham takes out the booze he found, Carl holds Judith. His back is leaned against Ricks back. Mel held Meredith giving her mother a break, she sat next to Maddy and Ethan. Frank sat next to his mom leaning on her. Val sat with Luca and Bella.
Tara asks, "So all we found was booze?"
Rosita says, "Yeah."
"It's not gonna help." Anastasia comments, "I could really use a drink though." Joaquin nods agreeing with the girl.
Rosita says, "He knows that."
Tara says, "It's gonna make it worse."
Rosita sahs, "Yes, it is."
Eugene says, "He's a grown man. And I truly do not know if things can get worse."
"Don't jinx us." Ash says leaning into Joaquin, who has his back rested on a tree. She sat in between him.
Tara says, "They can."
There's rustling and the groups all draw their guns, dogs comes out and they growl and bark at them. They all sit very still as the dogs continue growling, some silenced gunshots go off and the dogs whine. They all turn to look at Sasha.
THE GROUP BEGAN A FIRE AND THEY ATE THE DOGS SASHA SHOT. NO ONE SAID ANYTHING just ate. Except for Luca who said he didn't want any but his stomach growled and he took it from Anastasia's hand. Anastasia couldn't look her kids in the eyes or see them eating dogs, she felt like she was failing as a parent. She is failing in keeping them safe and feed. Sasha comes back to the group with more wood for the fire.
