TWO DAYS PASSED BY ON THE FARM, everyone was stressed by the Randall situation. Rick, Glenn and Hershel saved his life from those walkers, only for the entirety of the group to debate what they do with him after. For now, he was held up in a shed and tied up so he wouldn't escape, a little ways away from the house.

A day after they returned to the farm, Maggie explained to Hershel that Beth went into a shock while he was gone for that day. She said that losing Annette was too much for the poor girl to handle, so that same night, he held his daughter in his arms as he cried, telling her that he was so sorry he couldn't be here to help with her.

Ella wished Beth really believed that.

But today, Ella stood beside Glenn, Dale, and Maggie, Lori sat on the ground looking as Dale and Andrea stood behind the pregnant woman, Shane and Rick stood side by side and Carol stood by herself.

"So, what we gonna do? We'd all feel better if we knew the plan." Andrea moved beside Glenn from Lori. "Is there a plan? We gonna keep him here?" she asked.

Ella's eyes wandered over to Rick as he spoke. "We'll know soon enough." Rick spoke. He looked at Daryl, awaiting what he found out.

"The boy's got a gang, thirty men. They have heavy artillery and they ain't looking to make friends. They roll through here, our boys are dead-" Daryl paused, looking around and eyeing the woman. "And our women. They're gonna wish they were."

Ella's stomach churned, becoming uneasy as she looked over to Carl feeding the chickens in the distance outside. She hoped Randall's group of people wouldn't come blazing in the farm and kill them all.

"What did you do?" Carol asked Daryl.

Daryl shrugged. "Had a little chat."

Ella stared at Daryl, sighing, as Carol brushed past Maggie.

"No one goes near this guy." Rick ordered.

Lori got up from the ground, dusting her hands off on her pants. "What are you gonna do?"

Rick looked down at his wife, placing his hands on his hips. "We have no choice. He's a threat. We have to eliminate the threat."

Dale furrowed his eyebrows. "You're just gonna kill him?"

Rick nodded. "It's settled. I'll do it today." He turned away from the group and went to leave to deal with Randall, but Dale, of course, stopped him.

"You can't do this," Dale begged. "You don't wanna do this. I know you don't."

"I thought about it all night. Knowing what we know now. I don't see a way out of it." Rick then left. Ella watched as Dale followed Rick outside to convince him that killing Randall wasn't the answer.

Once they left the room. Ella and Glenn looked at each other, unsure of what to do or say. "Do you think he deserves to die?" she asked.

"No, he doesn't, but we can't chance it." Daryl stated
