Plot Overview

Alicia takes refuge from the storm in an empty house, but soon finds Charlie is also inside with her.

Notes

Title sequence

• The storm wobbles the camera and covers it with drops of water as the wind blows over a power line and even causes some of the letters of the title to blow away.

Arc Advancement

Happenings

• Following the storm, Alicia and Charlie find the mansion empty, the cargo truck is damaged and also empty. They then find the bus is on its side.

Characters

• Upon finding Charlie, she feels she will probably kill her. She reminds her of what she did to Nick and hopes she lives a long life to know she can never make up for it.

• Charlie carries a gun, but Alicia soon realises it's for herself after catching her approaching a walker.

• Charlie's parents planned to take her to Galveston just before everything fell apart. She saw them after they died and turned and can't remember what they looked like before.

• When Charlie reads, she closes her eyes to imagine what she just read.

• Trapped in the basement with the water rising, Charlie dreads becoming a walker and wants Alicia to kill, but Alicia can't bring herself to do it.

• After escaping, Alicia tells Charlie about the beach. She imagines herself there and is then able to remember what her parents looked like.

• With no signs of the others, Charlie wants to go look for them, but Alicia has resigned herself to accept they're dead and tells Charlie things won't get better.

Referbacks

• We see brief flashes of a dying Nick from "Good Out Here" and Madison's final moments from "No One's Gone".
