The Walking Dead

S4 The Walking Dead Chapter 39: Alone

A flashback shows Bob (Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.) wandering on his own, finding shelter where walkers can't do him harm. One day, he is approached by Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Glenn (Steven Yeun). After asking him the three questions to be able to join the prison, Daryl lets Bob come with them.

Present-day, Bob, Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) are surrounded by walkers in the woods. During the struggle, a walker nearly bites Bob, but it ends up only tearing at his bandages. A relieved Sasha embraces Bob, and the three look for a better place to set up camp.

Meanwhile, Daryl teaches Beth (Emily Kinney) how to track and use his crossbow. They approach a clearing, where a walker is feasting on a corpse. Beth attempts to shoot it with the crossbow, but her foot gets caught in an animal trap. Daryl intervenes and kills the walker. The two then come upon a graveyard overlooked by a large house, and Daryl carries the injured Beth to the house.

Maggie, Sasha, and Bob come upon the train tracks and see a sign inviting survivors to Terminus. Bob tells them about the broadcast he, Tyreese, Daryl, and Michonne, had heard over the radio during a supply run. Maggie demands that they go to the community, hoping Glenn might be there. Sasha disagrees, saying there might not be any other signs that Glenn could have seen. Bob sides with Maggie, and Sasha is forced to concede.

Daryl and Beth enter the funeral home at the graveyard. Beth immediately notices how clean the interior is, and Daryl assumes that someone is living in it. As they explore, they find numerous walker bodies dressed up, as if for a funeral. They search the kitchen and discover a fresh supply of food and drinks.

Maggie's group set up camp. Bob asks Sasha where Maggie is, and Sasha responds she's getting firewood. Bob asks Sasha if she wants to stop; she says she does. She explains she wants to survive, that Glenn is probably dead, and they need to stop at the first town they come across and set up residence. The next morning, Sasha and Bob discover a note from Maggie, saying she is going to Terminus and doesn't want to risk their lives. The two decide to go after her.

As Maggie follows the train tracks, she comes across another sign for Terminus. A walker appears, and after killing it, she cuts its body open. Later, Bob and Sasha come across the walker Maggie killed and find a message she wrote for Glenn in the walker's blood, telling him to go to Terminus.

At the funeral home, Daryl and Beth are eating when they suddenly hear noise outside. Daryl goes to the front door and finds a one-eyed dog on the front porch. He attempts to pet it, but the dog runs away. Later that night, Beth writes a thank you note to the person staying in the house for the food she and Daryl ate. They again hear the dog barking, and when Daryl goes to the door, he is attacked by a large group of walkers. He holds the door and convinces Beth to leave through a window while he dispatches the walkers. After leading them through the house, Daryl manages to escape to the graveyard, where he finds Beth's bag lying on the ground and sees a car leaving. He tries to follow it, but is unable to keep up.

The next morning, Bob and Sasha come across an empty town besides the tracks, and Sasha tries to convince Bob that they should set up a camp. Bob refuses, and unable to convince Sasha to come with him, Bob gives her a kiss goodbye, and they part ways.

Sasha enters an old warehouse. She looks out a window and sees Maggie lying among corpses on the ground. Sasha accidentally knocks the window out of it's frame, causing it to loudly break on the ground, startling Maggie and attracting a number of walkers. Sasha goes to help Maggie. Once they have finished dispatching the walkers, Maggie asks for Sasha's help in reaching Terminus. Sasha agrees and they leave to catch up with Bob.

Tired of running, Daryl collapses and is soon surrounded by six survivors, each heavily armed with automatic weapons and bows. When one of them tries to obtain Daryl's crossbow, he jumps up and punches one of them, aiming his crossbow at his head. The men (who previously invaded the house in which Rick, Carl, and Michonne were staying in) point their guns at Daryl, but their leader Joe (Jeff Kober) gets everybody to lower their weapons, and asks Daryl to join their group.

Meanwhile, Maggie and Sasha catch up with Bob, and they continue their journey to Terminus. Elsewhere, Glenn discovers the signs leading to Terminus.
