TWD World Beyond season 1 episode 3 recap: The Tyger and the Lamb

TWD: World Beyond “The Tyger and the Lamb” is full of drama, revelations. Here’s your recap!

TWD: World Beyond “The Tyger and the Lamb” begins with Silas. He’s in the back of an ambulance and his hands are bloodied and shaking. He’s listening to the voices of his grandparents who sent him a birthday tape. They love him and miss him. He was 6 years old when they made the tape.

As he listens, his grandmother says he’s “special” but in reality he’s being handcuffed and led away by the police.

Hope’s voice wakes him up. They’re camped out at the edge of the Blaze of Gory and she’s calling through on a walkie talkie. She reports that they’re going to do Elton’s plan. She’s already on her way to the siren. Iris can’t believe she left, but Hope reminds her sister that they didn’t make a decision together. Hope says they need to do it in order to keep moving. Suddenly, her walkie cuts out after she says she has to go.

In a flashback, Felix tells Silas that they’re glad he’s there and glad his uncle decided to sponsor him in the community. He’s getting a fresh start and that means that he can live at the Campus Colony and forget his past. But what happened in the past that he wants to escape?

Iris gets in touch with Hope again, who is hiding in the office near the factory. She gives her sister orders to get to the factory. She wants them to get there, and then run through the blaze once the siren starts. Iris doesn’t want to do it, but Hope insists. She tells her sister to grin, and that she loves her. It’s a touching moment between the siblings, who know each other so well. Silas watches Iris with a smile.

Hope gets her weapon and moves on.

Elton can see the office. The empties are on either side, attracted to the fires. If they can get to the office they should be ok. Silas grabs his weapon and hesitates. Elton tells him he hopes they don’t have to kill any empties but he also hopes Silas is ready for the moment. Silas offers to carry all of their bags instead, so that Elton can kill. He has a flashback to the scene in the ambulance and says it’s all he can do right now, to help them carry everything.

Once they’re back on the ground, they lose sight of each other. Silas looks around and can’t see anything. Suddenly an empty appears in front of him and he drops a bag. He has a memory of beating someone up, but the empty falls on the pile of trash and is impaled. Iris finds him and sends him on his way.

When they reach the office, Hope is already gone. They breathe a collective sigh of relief. Silas tells Iris he’s ok, and that he got turned around. She tells everyone to scour the place for weapons and food while they wait for Hope and the siren.

The empties are all over the place.

When Hope gets into the factory, she finds that it’s empty inside despite the dead outside. She ventures deeper inside when her flashlight turns off. When she stumbles, she rouses an empty who had been wandering inside.

Iris finds Silas in the kitchen area. He’s found some cans of noodles his mom used to make before things happened. She asks if he misses his mom but he doesn’t. She does. Elton asks Silas for some help with a door. He breaks it open to find that Felix and Huck are on the other side. Felix hugs Iris, then they ask where Hope is, but no one will say. He can’t believe it was Iris, and not Hope, who came up with this plan. He also doesn’t believe that it was Hope who left the “bread crumbs” for them to follow. Iris doesn’t believe that Hope did it.

Felix wants to know where Hope is, but Iris points out that if they go after her, they could get killed. Huck eventually agrees. Elton assures Silas that they will still be able to get out of this situation, believing that Silas is nervous about getting caught.

In another flashback, Silas is mopping up a lab with his music on when he finds a picture of Dr. Bennet, Hope and Iris. He pauses to look at the happy family when Iris walks in and says she left her English homework there. After a beat she stops and tells Silas that she misses her father, who has been gone for a week and she might never see him again. Her sister is mad that he left. “Every family’s got something,” she says. After she leaves, he finds a copy of a poem with the picture of a tiger and lamb on it.

Hope makes her way inside a closet to escape the empty, which ends up breaking through the door. She races around it and gets onto the roof and the siren. She goes to crank it up but the handle falls off…

Felix looks outside and asks the group why Hope would want them to find her but then she also went rogue and ran out to the siren. Iris knows it’s more than just their father. Silas says that Hope was the one who led the empty away from them, saying that their mistakes shouldn’t follow them. Silas thinks she’s done something she feels bad about, and Huck jumps in and asks him if he’s trying to get away from the things he’s done. He runs off, and Iris follows him. He says he never should have gone with them. He thinks of his bloody hands and beating up the person in his memories. Iris doesn’t care about Hope’s mistakes, or his. “You should,” he says. She presses him for information, and he says he’s afraid of himself.

In another flashback we see Silas walking through the hallway of his former school. Metal is playing and he’s getting looks from the kids around him. When his headphone batteries die he hears what the kids around him are saying, that they can’t believe they let him in. They call him a monster.

Hope calls in and reports that the siren is broken. Iris gives the radio to Felix, who wants to come to her, but she insists that she will fix it and they need to haul ass to get there. Elton isn’t familiar with the term, which makes him sound a lot like Eugene. She wants to talk to Iris, who tells her to make sure she makes it to the exit. They give each other pep talks, and Hope wishes she hadn’t had the fight with their dad before he left.

Silas doesn’t think he can make it, but Elton and Hope give him their support as they roll out.

Hope finds a way to make the siren work so the rest of the group gets ready to move. The siren is blaring as they walk out, but it’s also doing the trick. Once it goes off, the empties shift their attention so that Felix and Huck and clear a path as they run through.

After enough time has passed, Hope climbs down from the roof. She trips and sprains her ankle, making it hard to run. Silas starts running, thinking of Iris’ poem “The Tyger and the Lamb”. We hear Iris reading the poem as they make their escape. Hope uses her lighter to light up some oil, burning the empties that cross her path.

Huck and Felix are machines, using their S-poles to clear the way.

Hope gets tackled by empties. She holds them back by their necks, but then they push her to the ground and she hits her head. As they approach, Iris rushes in and squares off with them, aiming her S-pole. When Iris falls, it’s Hope who stands up and kills them.

Elton rushes up and helps support Hope as she limps back. As Iris finishes the poem, Silas thinks of Felix telling him about his new start. He thinks about his new friends. When he sees the walls collapsing, he steps in and holds it back so that everyone can escape. Once everyone is safe, they stand there and realize how lucky they are to have made it out.

Later, they enjoy a relaxing moment by a lake, where they wash their clothes. Elton fishes. Huck goes to see Hope, telling her that she should have talked with her about her plan. She thinks Hope wanted them to stop her. Huck reminds her that everyone is counting on her.

Felix tells them that they need to get going. They need to resupply in Omaha, then they will return to campus in two weeks. Iris declares that she isn’t going back. Silas agrees, despite Felix saying that his uncle is worried about him. Elton says he’s not leaving, and neither is Hope. Felix knows about their map, but he thinks they will get killed. Hope tells them to help them save their dad. Huck agrees with them, knowing that they won’t turn around. All they can do is to keep them safe for now. Felix agrees, reluctantly.

Hope finds Iris on the dock and sits down. Iris thanks her, but she wants to know what changed. Hope tells her sister about the night their mom died. She talks about the pregnant lady, stopping short of telling her that it was Elton’s mom (which she may or may not know about herself). Hope never even told her father what happened that night. The woman shot their mom, so Hope killed the woman.

Iris wishes that Hope would have told her. They were just kids that night, and they weren’t ready. Hope is sorry for not saying anything sooner.

Felix walks up and tells them that they should go to Omaha because it’s safe there and safety is what their dad wanted. But he’s willing to go along with them until they can be convinced to turn around and go back. Hope is sorry she dragged him into the whole thing, but she’s glad he’s there. She apologizes for stealing his jacket and Will’s jacket, but he disagrees when she says they look better on them.

Hope wants to know why Elton went back into the blaze to save his suitcase. It was to save his mom’s unfinished manuscript, which he would love to finish some day.

Silas listens to another recording  from his grandparents about how God doesn’t give up on anyone. Iris finds him and wraps a bandage around his hand, giving him a smile. He wraps her in his blanket as they walk. His grandmother’s voice tells him how they make life good.

Elizabeth is studying maps when there is a knock at the door. It’s Barca and she notes that he’s off base. He’s been walking through the city and found himself there. They can hear helicopters in the distance. Elizabeth’s apartment is luxurious, and there is a British flag on the wall. He tells her that he can’t stop thinking about what they did.

She tells him to stand at attention while she says that he knows full well what they did. She makes him say it. He says they “neutralized a threat” but he doesn’t see it that way. They were just people.

Elizabeth starts turning on all of the appliances in her apartment, adding a bottle of aspirin, bullets, TV, councils, courts, currency…all of it. They are the “last light of the world” and they help over two hundred thousand people to live for the new future. The colony was going to become a threat. They ended up.

She tells him to sit down, offering him some soup. They eat in silence. There’s a knock at the door and Barca looks up, knowing it’s something bad. She grabs her wine glass and tells him to answer it. There are soldiers at the door. She grabs her gun and says he will be taken to the CRM Health and Welfare Complex where he will stay in a labor capacity, but he doesn’t think he can forget what happened so she says, simply, that he won’t be leaving . He starts to say it’s all a lie, but she says they’re the light of the world. Once he’s outside the door he goes silent.

Once they’re gone she turns everything back on and closes her eyes, forcing back tears as she looks at the map.
