Rick drives the Ferenc cube van back to camp as the sun sets "Best not to dwell on it. Merle got left behind. Nobody's gonna be sad he didn't come back... except maybe Daryl" Morales said "Daryl?" Rick asked "His brother" Morales said "Whoo-hoo!" Glenn said speeding past Rick and the others on their way out of town "At least somebody's having a good day" Morales said rick nodded

At the hilltop camp Jim works on an alarm system. He's strung empty food cans between trees at some parts of the camp "Baby, the more you fidget, the longer it takes, so don't, okay?" Lori said "I'm trying" Carl said "Well, try harder" Lori said as Masie walks over to them "Oh god please don't tell me i'm next" Masie said sitting next to them "Yes you are missy" Lori said Masie rolled her eyes Lori sits behind Carl with a comb and scissors, giving him a haircut. Shane sits across from them. He's cleaning his shotgun "If you think this is bad, wait till you start shaving. That stings. That day comes, you'll be wishing for one of your mama's haircuts" Shane said "I'll believe that when I see it" Carl said "I'll tell you what—you just get through this with some manly dignity and tomorrow I'll teach you something special. I will teach you to catch frogs" Shane said Carl rolled his eyes "I know how to catch a frog" Carl said "I said frogs—plural. And it is an art, my friend. It is not to be taken lightly. There are ways and means. Few people know about it. I'm willing to share my secrets" Shane said Masie scoffs and gets a nudged by her mother Carl looks at his mother "Oh, I'm a girl, you talk to him" Lori said "It's a one-time offer, bud—not to be repeated" Shane said "Why do we need frogs, plural?" Masie asked, "You ever eaten frog legs?" Shane asked "Eww!" Masie and Carl say "No, yum!" Shane said "No, they're right. Eww" Lori said "When you get down to that last can of beans, you're gonna be loving those frog legs, lady. I can see it now—"Shane, do you think I could have a second helping, please? Please? Just one?" Shane said "Yeah, I doubt that" Masie said

"Don't listen to her, man. You and me, we'll be heroes. We'll feed these folks Cajun-style Kermit legs" Shane said "I would rather eat Miss Piggy. Yes, that came out wrong" Lori said "Heroes, son, spoken of in song and legend. You and me, Shane and Carl" Shane said they hear a car alarm approaching "Hey, Dale, can you see what that is?" A man said "Talk to me, Dale!" Shane said "I can't tell yet" Dale said "Let him get a good look at it" Masie said Dale sees a red vehicle driving around the road toward them "Is it them? Are they back?" Amy asked, now Dale can see the red car as it comes up the approach to camp "I'll be damned" Dale said "What is it?" Amy asked standing next to Masie and Carl "A stolen car is my guess" Dale said, Glenn pulls up in the Charger and gets out "Holy crap, turn that damn thing off!" Dale said "I don't know how!" Glenn said Shane and Amy both talk at once "Pop the hood, please. Pop the damn hood please" "My sister Andrea" they both say "Pop the damn hood please!" Shane yelled "What? Okay, okay. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Glenn said, Glenn gets in and reaches for the hood release "Is she okay? Is she all right?" Amy kept asking "Yeah! Yeah!" Glenn gets back out of the car "She's okay! She's okay!" Glenn said "Is she coming back?" Amy asked, "Yes!" Glenn said Shane pulls some wires and the alarm stops. Dale and Jim are there, too. "Why isn't she with you? Where is she? She's okay?" Amy kept asking "Yes! Yeah. Fine. Everybody is. Well, Merle not so much" Glenn said "Are you crazy, driving this wailing bastard up here? Are you trying to draw every walker for miles?" Shane said "I think we're okay" Dale said

"You call being stupid okay?" Shane said "Well, the alarm was echoing all over these hills. Hard to pinpoint the source" Dale said Shane glares at Dale "I'm not arguing. I'm just saying. [To Glenn] It wouldn't hurt you to think things through a little more carefully next time, would it?" Dale said "Sorry. Got a cool car" Glenn said, Masie comes running to Glenn "Glenn!" Masie said, throwing her arms around him "Hey!" Glenn said "Thank god you made it back safe" Masie said Glenn smiles as Rick drives up in the Ferenc cube van. Inside the cab Morales pats Rick on the arm
