At the Myrmidon, Sarah, Margaret, Kayla and Savannah finally make it back to the train as the survivors turn and approach them.
Rocky: Hey! You made it!
Rachel: You okay?
Sarah: Yeah...
Rachel: Wait, where's Kyle?
Margaret: Him and Joseph should be on there way back to the train.
Rachel looks down at Savannah.
Rachel: Who's this?
Sarah: Oh, right....guys, this is Kayla and Savannah. They were held hostage by the crazy church cult.
Marcus: So, you got confirmation that there is a cult here....
Kyle and Joseph arrive back as well.
Kyle: That and a big ass alligator!
Shawn: What?!
Kyle: I'll explain later.
Margaret hugs Joseph.
Margaret: You okay?
Joseph: Yeah....
Kyle approaches Kayla.
Kayla: I don't know how to thank you, Kyle. You saved me and my sisters life! Now, I can contribute to you guys, too.
Shawn: What do you mean?
Kayla: I have medical experience....my mom was a A.O.W nurse and she taught me her teachings before she died.....
Kyle turns to Shawn.
Shawn: Two medics could always be handy.
Margaret: And more faster to clean up wounds.
Kyle nods, before turning to Kayla.
Kyle: Kayla....what do you know about this place?
Kayla: Other than they don't like people with electricity.....and their leader, Sawyer, is a nutjob.....he fooled the villagers here so bad....they even excommunicated a mechanic here; Chris, because he had a stupid flashlight!
James perks up.
James: A mechanic! Here! That would make fixing this train go a whole lot faster.
Kyle looks at James, before nodding.
Kyle: James, you got a minute....
Kyle and James walk to the side, while Rocky shouts to Kyle.
Rocky: Yo, Kyle!
Kayla turns to Sarah.
Kayla: Sarah, thank you again! You guys really are great....
Savannah: Yes, Mrs. Sarah, thank you and your husband! Your husband is really kind and strong! Thank you again!
Sarah laughs.
Sarah: Well, I keep telling Kyle he lucked out!
Shawn: We all lucked out with you, Sarah. Now-if only you could come with us, Kayla! With two medics, we'd be unstoppable!
The survivors laugh.
Shawn: Hey, uh...Kayla, I'm making some tea. If you'd like some.
Kayla: Oh, that'd be nice.
Caleb smirks and rolls his eyes, before Shawn shrugs.
Shawn: What? I'm being nice and it's cold. What?
Caleb: Nothing, dude...I didn't say shit.
Caleb walks off, before Shawn turns back to Kayla.
Shawn: So, Kayla, where are you from? You....your accent certainly isn't southern?
