After announcing that her daughter is no longer a concern, Alpha takes out a shotgun and tells Daryl to come with her alone. Later, at the Whisperers' new camp, Alpha, now out of disguise, joins her people, and approaches Daryl and company, who are now tied to a tree. "You just had to give me the girl," he growls at Daryl, telling him that deal is now off. Beta emerges from the trees and tells them to drop their weapons. That night, Daryl, Michonne, Carol, and Yumiko are attacked by walkers, and take them out one by one until the Whisperers surround them. The group decides to split up to look for any survivors.
