The episode begins with Enid (Katelyn Nacon) and Aaron (Ross Marquand) on the road. They are on their way to Oceanside, to try and recruit the women there into joining the war against Negan. Aaron gives Enid a turn at the wheel. She turns down a dirt road, saying they need to bring Oceanside something useful if they are going to ask for their help.

At Alexandria, Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) prepare to head to the Sanctuary to accept the Saviors’ surrender. Carl (Chandler Riggs), meanwhile, sits at home writing a letter to his father. Tears come to his eye as he finishes.

Aaron and Enid have procured a truck from an old distillery. They ca
mp out for the night, but are awakened when they se someone snooping around their campsite. They investigate, with Enid shooting Oceanside leader Natania (Deborah May) dead as she was about to kill Aaron.

Michonne finds Carl preparing supplies to give to Siddiq (Avi Nash), but before he can explain in detail what he’s doing, they hear Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan)  on a loudspeaker outside. He and the other Saviors escaped the Sanctuary and are out for vengeance. He tells them he demands an apology immediately or people are going to die. Carl rallies everyone and helps them set an escape plan.

In the Kingdom, Ezekiel (Khary Payton) is still wallowing in his misery. He reads a note from Jerry (Cooper Andrews) saying that he has left to honor the Kingdom’s commitment to the war. Suddenly he hears a commotion outside. He hides behind some stage scenery as Saviors pour into the room. Outside,  Gavin (Jayson Warner Smith) tells the assembled Kingdom residents that the community is being taken over by the Saviors.
