Happenings

• The group have been trying to follow up on the people interviewed in Althea's tapes, but so far they are either dead, missing, or simply don't want to be found.

• The group finds a small group of survivors made up of children. They reluctantly help, but the kids leave them behind.

• On their way to the truck stop, the group finds a road blocked off by a fence of walkers and dead heads.

• Logan, half of the owners of Clayton's trucks, lead the group away so he can easily reclaim the shipping centre.

• Althea fends off a walker in heavy armour. She goes back to find it is also wired. Going through their things, she finds he was part of a group represented by the initials CRM and a trefoil symbol of circles. Their belongings include laminated documents with maps of the United States among potential other locations around the world.

Characters

• Strand goes through one of Althea's tapes and finds her interview with Daniel, which visibly concerns him.

• After going back to examine the armoured walker, she is knocked out by someone else wearing the same armour.

Referbacks

• The trefoil symbol Althea finds on the armoured walker was also on the helicopter that picked up Rick and Anne in "What Comes After".

Trivia

The Show

• Rubén Blades's name is withheld to the closing credits to maintain the surprise of the return of Daniel, his first appearance following a season long absence.
