Suddenly, the truck stops because a bridge is down. The group decides to get some wooden planks that Alicia just happened to see nearby as a means to try and make the bridge strong enough. Suddenly, Ginny and some pals show up. Morgan and Ginny have a conversation, leading to everyone lowering their weapons. Ginny insists what she is doing will keep more people alive. 

The whole thing comes down to Morgan encouraging anyone who would rather be with Ginny to go with her. No one goes. Ginny’s men fire some guns and attract a herd. Morgan and the group order everyone to move quickly. They cross the bridge to avoid the herd but Tom stays on it too long ad falls down with it. He’s dead but the camera survives!

Later, Daniel talks with Morgan. He encourages Morgan to say things he has to say because no one knows how long they have left in this world. Morgan looks at Grace but continues his walk. 

Later, the group comes upon a sign indicating Humbug’s Gulch is five miles away. As they continue forward, Morgan sticks back to talk with Grace. She tells him not to say what he’s going to say because it will only make things harder. “I’m glad you’re here to see this,” he tells her. 

Later on, they arrive at Humbug’s Gulch but see that it is completely overrun with walkers. The group debates their next move. Strand calls upon Althea to do something but she doesn’t want to let Virginia look good so she shuts down the cameras.
