Episode Written By: Craig Mazin
Episode Directed By: Mark Mylod
After taking shelter in a mansion near Jackson, Abby remains steadfast in her mission to kill Joel. But her friends are more concerned about the town's size during daytime and the security contained within its walls. While Abby goes outside to keep watch, Owen informs the others that his plan is to convince Abby to leave and return to Seattle.
In Jackson, the town Council has put the town on alert after a patrol reports of the infected using other infected as insulation under the snowpack and being able to attack in the cold. With the events of New Years Eve behind everyone, Jesse wakes up a sleepy Ellie to go head out on patrol, who wants to go out with Joel, but Jesse informs her that he has already left with Dina.
While scoping out Jackson, Abby sees two horse riders and as she tries to get closer she accidentally awakens a large horde of infected hiding under the snow. She escapes into a nearby compound but is attacked again by the horde only to be saved from one of the infected by Joel. Knowing who she has been saved by, she immediately suggests they escape to the nearby lodge where her friends are taking shelter from the cold. As they flee the compound on horseback, the chasing horde suddenly stops pursuing them.
Meanwhile, Ellie and Jesse are holed up in a Seven Eleven that was previously used by Eugene as a farm to grow weed for sale back in Jackson. As the storm gets worse outside they receive broken and intermittent radio messages from Jackson informing them that Dina and Joel have not returned. Ellie and Jesse head out to scout the mountainside in separate direction to try and find them before they are taken by the cold, the infected or worse!

Heavy damage and casualties are suffered and as the Bloater looks to go after Maria, Tommy saves his wife from the bloater by drawing it away and killing it with a flamethrower.
Abby brings Joel and Dina to the mansion, where Dina is sedated and Abby reveals herself to be the daughter of the Firefly doctor who Joel killed at the hospital in Salt Lake City. She shoots Joel in the leg and brutally beats him with a golf club,. As she continues to use Joel as a punch bag, Ellie arrives at the lodge and enters the mansion. As she enters the main lodge hall to see Joel bloody and being beaten viciously by Abby, she is restrained by Abby's party and forced to watch helplessly. Owen orders Abby to finish it and Ellie watches as Abby fatally stabs Joel in the neck with the broken golf club's handle. Ellie promises to kill Abby, and Abby's group leaves the lodge heading back to Seattle as Jesse is seen approaching the lodge from the other direction.
