Bringing the spear in with the weapons, Eduardo stumbles across Maggie and Dante having a makeout session while losing some clothes in the process. He says he was never there and turns to walk away. shutting the door as they say his name.
Maggie tells Dante to stop Eduardo, but he doesn’t see the point. They aren’t going to be able to stop him from saying anything and doesn’t think it’s a big deal if he does. Maggie says she’s ashamed of herself, but Dante says she deserves to be happy. After that, Maggie starts getting dressed to leave, but Dante says she has nothing to be ashamed of.
Michonne says she would not consider herself to be ‘good’ since she wasn’t there for Elodie, gave up custody, and took too long to get to know her again. Elodie says she doesn’t blame her mother for any of that anymore.
Elodie is then asked about the location of Colette, whether or not she is at The Commonwealth too. She explains they were living in Kentucky with her after losing their dad when a group of bad people ‘protected’ them but demanded things in return. She says Colette refused to give them what they wanted and the results were ‘horrible’.

This enrages Pamela, who is made Mercer let them get that close to danger and states they will discuss this incident further later on.
Mercer puts his gear in his locker and talks to another soldier named George. They discuss how bad ‘babysitting’ duty is and not understanding why they work so hard to protect such a crybaby.
