The episode opens on Glenn, Abraham, Rosita, Eugene and Tara. Eugene suggests the zombie infection could have been the same thing that killed the dinosaurs. He starts on a tangent about video games -- interrupted by Tara finding a coin on the ground, which she offers to him -- and then he continues the ramble when she's done. Abraham asks Tara what it is that's driving her to help Glenn; he tells her that at first, he thought it was that she was in love with him, but that he's seen the way she looks at Rosita, so he knows that isn't it. She remains standoffish with Abraham, while Abraham continues to couch the discussion in terms of "the mission." She admits that she's there because of something she did; she asks Abraham what they're supposed to do when the mission is over.

The next morning, the group is moving down the tracks again, Eugene still chattering away, when first Tara and then Glenn spot one of Maggie's signs; everyone looks incredulous, and Glenn starts running. Next, we catch up with the marauders, sleeping in the same camp where Maggie's group was in "Alone." A walker wakes them all up and they kill it, only then realizing that Daryl is gone. Next up in the rotation is Rick's group, also on the tracks to Terminus. Carl and Michonne compete to see who can keep their balance the longest while walking on the steel rails. Michonne, and gives Carl a candy bar as his prize. He shares it with Michonne anyway; they start to eat and keep moving. Then comes the scene below, in which Len and Daryl fight over a rabbit they've both been hunting. Len says that he claims it, and Daryl tells him that's not going to fly. The two get into it, with Len invoking Beth and Daryl starting to lose his cool. Just as Daryl is about to pull his knife, Joe interrupts the two.

Joe explains to Daryl that the "claiming" thing is the only rule the group has -- when someone wants something, they claim it. Joe cuts the rabbit in half and divides it between Daryl and Len, explaining that Daryl is new to the group and didn't know the rule. Abraham wants to take a break in an area where he thinks there's shelter and a place to keep Eugene protected. Glenn and Tara want to continue to Terminus and before the argument can be fully resolved, they're interrupted by a walker who falls from the top floor of the building where Abraham had wanted to stay. Abraham shoves everyone back to protect Eugene while the ghoul falls, its head bursting on impact, and Tara's knee is hurt while being pushed away. Ultimately, Glenn manages to convince everyone to keep moving, only after he hands off his riot gear to Eugene to convince Abraham's group that he's in no danger if they keep moving toward Terminus. Rosita objects, noting that Tara is hurt and only willing to continue because she feels she owes it to Glenn, but Abraham tells her that it's Tara's decision to make. Daryl's group continues on the tracks, Joe pontificating to Daryl that the world is perfectly suited for men like them now. Daryl says he'll be leaving soon, but Joe says that Daryl needs a group to survive, and that he should be with them. He says that being efficient and safe is more important than being friendly. He reiterates the rule, adding that if you steal or lie, you get a beating -- the severity of which depends on the offense and the general mood of the day. The group arrives at a rusted-out railroad platform that has either a metal train station or some kind of large garage attached, and decide to stay there for the night. Eventually, the group reaches a train tunnel, where there's a sign from Maggie that says to continue. They can hear walkers inside and Abraham wants to go around or over, but Glenn thinks that will add a day's travel and that if Maggie went through, that's what he'll do -- especially since the message she left was still wet. Abraham feels this is too big of a risk for his group, though, and leaves Glenn and Tara with some extra supplies to find first the road and then a vehicle. They promise to double back to the first road they see in case Glenn and Tara can't make it through the tunnel. Inside the railroad tunnel, Glenn starts to try to make Tara feel less guilty, but it doesn't work, especially when she talks about Hershel's death and everything goes very quiet. Inside the building where the marauders are making camp, the group explores and all start to claim things, with Daryl joining in. One man tells Joe that whoever was there last took all the gas out of the many cars in a circle inside the building, but Joe says it doesn't matter because they're "getting closer." Glenn and Tara come to a partially-destroyed portion of the tunnel, filled with debris and trapped walkers. Tara notices that the debris and bodies seem fresh, suggesting that these walkers may have  been human until the tunnel collapse, which probably happened today. Glenn flashes a light at the roof, where it looks as though there has been gunshots around the hole. They make their way past the walkers, Glenn checking their faces before killing them. When Tara and Glenn reach the top of the wreckage, they see a group of walkers ahead. Glenn searches the faces with his flashlight, still not finding Maggie there. They decide to distract the herd of walkers with one of the flashlights, shining it in the opposite direction as they scale the wreckage to make their way down from the top. Tara trips, and her leg is trapped in the rocks. Eugene has convinced Abraham to sleep in the back of the truck they found, and is navigating; Rosita thinks that he's got them lost, but in fact he leads them to the opposite end of the railroad tunnel, where he believes Glenn and Tara should be coming out. While the other two argue, Eugene sees something in the tunnel and he shouts for them. The next morning, Daryl wakes to Len accusing him of stealing his half of the rabbit. The group quickly surrounds Daryl, who denies the accusation -- but when Joe asks him to empty his bag, the other half of the rabbit falls out. Daryl insists he's been set up. Joe approaches Daryl, asks for his version of the story; Daryl again denies having stolen. Joe turns to Len, hits him and announces to the group that he saw Len sneaking the rabbit into Daryl's bag and wanted to see if Len would be honest. As he wasn't, that makes him a liar and he can't be trusted. The group starts beating on him and Joe joins in. As Glenn tries to help her, the walkers hear the noise and start moving in on them. Tara tells Glenn to go find Maggie, but Glenn says there has to be a different way. Zombies start to descend and Glenn shoots, but they are being overwhelmed. Suddenly, the tunnel is filled with light, and all the walkers are taken out by gunfire. Abraham's group, along with Maggie, Sasha, and Bob, have all arrived, and Glenn and Maggie are finally reunited, sobbing and hugging. Glenn tells Maggie that he met Tara on the road, that he couldn't have made it here without her. He tells her that she's the kind of person who had to help when she found out what Glenn was doing. Sasha is shocked to learn about Eugene's mission; Abraham wants to take the whole group up to Washington, and Tara says she's going to go with them. Eugene convinces Abraham that they could use a "home base" to work out of and, potentially, a better vehicle and a larger group. Sasha tells them that she needs to see Terminus; she has to know whether Tyreese is there. Bob agrees. That night, Maggie tells Glenn that they almost died, but she saved their group by shooting out the ceiling and taking out a swarm of walkers, thinking what Glenn would do. She tries to burn his picture of her, and when he objects, she tells him he'll never need it again. He lets her burn it. The next morning, Daryl wakes to the sound of the garage door opening; the group is preparing to head out, and there's blood all over the floor from Len's beating. Outside is his corpse, an arrow through the eye, and another of the men has his bow. Daryl stops, almost covers Len's body with a sheet, then doesn't. On the tracks, Joe gives Daryl a swig of moonshine ("the easiest thing to make") tells Daryl that they're "getting closer" again; he says Terminus is a lie, that people like he and Daryl won't be welcomed. They're tracking a man with a small group. He explains that the marauders were in a house, minding their own business, when their target killed their friend, Lou. They were able to track him to the train tracks, where they found the Terminus signs and decided that the man was probably on his way there. He tells Daryl that Tony (the man Len choked in "Claimed") saw the man's face, so they will recognize the man once they find him. Daryl nods. The group continues on toward Terminus, passing Carl's candy bar wrapper. Glenn and Maggie's supergroup arrive at Terminus. There's a large open area, a courtyard and garden. There's a woman at a barbecue cooking. She tells them that her name is Mary and welcomes them to Terminus, saying "let's gets you settled and we'll make you a plate."
