The kids put their little creation in front of the fence and run away, fearing getting in trouble.
Madison and Travis argue below deck about Nick's antics. Nick argues that they still need to try to help people. Travis enters with a log book from the wrecked ship they found and it says that San Diego has gone down. He brings it up to Strand, Daniel, and Ophelia. Strand is skeptical but turns his attention to what kind of ship could have sunk that ship. They conclude that it had to be a military ship and it's on its way to them. Strand suggest sailing along the coast in an effort to lose the,. Travis suggests going to the ranger station on shore. They are now heading to Katrina Island.

Nick and Alicia discuss the apocalypse and Nick is trying to be positive. Alicia says she is awake because she has so much on her mind. Nick says he can't sleep because of the kids are being forced to grow up in this world. He doesn't think this is the end of the world like she does.
Chris snearks around by himself and see Seth walking. He follows him to the fence where he's putting down walkers which wash up on shore. Seth takes the axe.
