LILAC AND DARYL, didn't talk much during the ride, but that didn't stop daryl from stealing a few glances at her.

he was unsure why lilac chose to ride with him but he didn't question it either. when he was talking a glance at her he noticed a small white book with her name in purple letters on the cover, in her hand.

"what's the book?" he asked not taking his eyes off the road. lilac turned her head to look at him, his tone wasn't mocking. although he had no expression on his face.

"it's a photo album." lilac answered as she ran her finger across the letters of her name. "what's the point?" daryl questioned flickering his eyes towards her for a second.

"to remember before, and who knows maybe i'll find a polaroid camera and make new memories." she smiled to herself remembering her and carl's conversation.

"sounds stupid." daryl muttered but before lilac could reply everyone started pulling over. lilac and daryl both stepped out of his truck walking towards dales RV, with the front grill open and steam pouring out.

"i told you we'd never get far on that hose. i said i needed the one from the cube van." dale muttered as the others started to gather round. "can you jury-rig it?" rick questioned, "that's all it's been so far. it's more duct tape than hose. and I'm out of duct tape." dale replied.

shane reached for his binoculars as he looked out into the distance. "i see something up ahead, a gas station if we're lucky." he spoke as jacqui came out of the RV; "y'all, jim — it's bad. i don't think he can take anymore."

worry was evident on rick's face, "hey rick, you want to hold down the fort? i'll drive ahead, see what i can bring back?" shane asked as rick nodded his head yes. "yeah, i'll come along too and i'll back you up." t-dog spoke up as the two of them made their way ahead.

rick sighed and followed jacqui into the RV were jim was laying. lilac stood with carl as they wait for any news from her brother.

SHANE AND T-DOG return from their quick scouting trip just as rick comes out of the RV. "it's what he says he wants." rick spoke on behalf of jim. "and he's lucid?" carol questioned beside lilac.

"back in the camp when i said i may agree with daryl and lilac and you shut me down, you misunderstood. i would never go along with callously killing a man. i was just gonna suggest that we ask jim what he wants and I think we have an answer." dale spoke glancing towards daryl and lilac before looking back at rick.
