STEPHANIE: I counted three
last night.

- You?
- [CLICKS]

This music library
is about as helpful

as sushi
on a carburetor.

Said LP
seems to be M.I.A.

You want me to hear it,
I think you should sing it.

Just belt it,
baby.

I will not.
[CHUCKLES]

Only a fool would attempt
such a song

sans epic
string accompaniment.

So how many, then?

Yester-eve,
I tallied a flea's tush shy

of four astro projectiles
plummeting to earth.

So three
shooting stars.

You're still up
by two.

You better not be
counting satellites.

Satellites?

Yeah, I saw one
falling recently.

Around sunset?

Yeah,
around sunset.

We're close.

Only a few hundred miles

per satellite's
visibility range.

♪♪

As promised,
I have not spilled the beans

on our audio rendezvous
to anyone.

But, well,
said satellite

provided the kick
in the deuce-bucket required

to tickle your ear drums
with this radio

in the first place.

I just
can't help but believe

that this is
a celestially ordained

meet-and-greet.

No bean-spillage here,
either.

But my people
are uber cautious, Eugene.

And if we're close...

Virginia.

I'm in Virginia.

♪♪

I'd like to proffer
a simple-as-ABC scenario

as to how we can
safely face-to-face.

You pick the day
and the neck of the woods.

Perch yourself out of sight,
get the eyeball.

You don't like
the cut of my jib,

you adiós yourself.

Easy peasy.

♪♪

Truth is, Stephanie,

I'd just very much
like to meet you.

♪♪

I'd really like
to meet you, too.

- [BREATHES SHARPLY]
- Okay.

I'll talk
to my people.

And I'll do the same.

No.
Don't tell anyone yet.

Let's see
what my people say first.

Will do, Waterloo.

- I promise.

[METAL CREAKING]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

[HORSE WHINNIES IN DISTANCE]

[CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE]

Who's that?

EARL:
Never seen her before.

Alexandria taking in
another stray?

No, they gotta be
locked down.

Well, they've brought 'em
to us before.

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

[ANIMAL BLEATS IN DISTANCE]

Hey. Hey!

Who is that?

[HORSE WHINNIES IN DISTANCE]

Hi, Earl.
It's Mary.

She, uh,
ran away from Alpha's camp.

She's been
helping us out.

What's she doing here?

Her nephew
is, uh, Adam.

She wants
to see him.

[SCOFFS] No.

Okay, Earl,
can we talk about this?

You said
you were gonna bring people

who wanted
to see Alex...

not one of our enemies
that wants to see my son.

- She's not an enemy.
- You don't know that.

You keep her away
from my kid.

Earl. Earl.

What the hell did he think
I was gonna say?

Those people left that kid
out there to die.

They see Alex,
and then they go.

That's it.

Just 'cause
they came here wanting something

doesn't mean
they're gonna get it.

I'll handle it,
okay?

How'd you find me?

This was Daryl's place,
right?

I thought you needed
some comfort.

Mm. I don't.

Jerry and Kelly
made it back to Hilltop.

I heard what happened
at the cave.

I was worried
about you.

♪♪

Come on back.

[SIGHS]

♪♪

Or I'll just sit here
with you, and...

we'll get eaten
by mosquitos together.

♪♪

Ah, Kel,
this is nuts.

You can hardly walk.

I'm not leaving my sister
out there.

I'm going
with you guys.

Miko,
help me out here.

What was the last thing
Magna said to you?

Why does it matter?

We're getting 'em back.

Yeah,
and what if we don't?

You know?

All we're ever gonna know
is that damn ceiling caved in.

If you think
that they're dead,

why are you
coming with us?

[ENGINE RUMBLING]

♪♪

- [ENGINE SHUTS OFF]
- Any sign of them?

We didn't get
that far.

What do you mean?
What happened?

[GRUNTING]
We gotta talk.

LUKE:
D, I'm sorry.

We gotta find
our people, man.

No.
You can't go out there.

My mother's coming.

[STATIC CRACKLING]

Eugene?

[CRACKLING CONTINUES]

STEPHANIE: Blue Weevil
to Tater Bug...

one more question
about that satellite.

- [CLICKS]
- Hello?

- Who is this?
- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

- EUGENE: No. No!
- Anyone there?

- Who is th... Hello?
- Go away. Go away.

Come in.

- What?
- Stephanie!

Stephanie!

Stephanie?!

♪♪

Is somebody getting action
at Oceanside?

You need to go.
Now.

♪♪

You look terrible.

♪♪

Yeah, a giant Whisperer
took a swipe at me.

I'm fine, thanks.

W-What's up your butt?

She trusted me to keep our chats
mano-a-mano, and you...

You just made me
break my promise.

♪♪

Now, go...

before I say something
I truly regret.

[STATIC CRACKLES]

♪♪

[DOOR CLOSES]

Blue Weevil, uh, that was
a mistake, a terrible mistake.

[STATIC CRACKLES]

I'm... I'm sorry.

Blue Weevil,
do you copy, please?

[STATIC CRACKLES]

NEGAN: Got a little
unsolicited advice...

everyone's favorite kind,
I know,

but I can't
help myself.

And maybe I thought of an idea
that you haven't yet.

I respect
a well-deserved massacre.

Some people...
they just have it coming.

And I get why
you want to take out

Hilltop and Alexandria.

It would just...
It would feel good.

But you know what might feel
goddamn fantastic?

Getting those assholes
to surrender,

bend a knee.

Alpha, we can get them
to join us.

ALPHA: Explain.

♪♪

Eyes open.

Any sign of a horde approach
or Whisperer movement,

you radio us immediately.

Be safe.

LYDIA: You heard them
out there.

We have to go.

Even if you took out
half the herd in that cave,

she's got
thousands left.

You can't stay here.

The skins could march
straight to Alexandria

for all we know.

DARYL: Yeah,
we're right in their way.

Maybe she goes
around us.

She doesn't need
to go around you.

She'll just
run through you.

JERRY: I'm not
running again.

- Hell, no.
- DIANNE: Lydia's right.

We can
rebuild anywhere.

Come on.
We can't.

How many scouting missions
you been on, son?

Hundreds?

Have you ever seen
a place like Hilltop?

AARON:
[SCOFFS] No.

[SCOFFS]

We have a few dozen
able-bodied fighters here.

Maybe.

You like those odds?

- 'Cause I don't.
- Neither do I.

Now, we don't
have to die here.

We're going to
have to fight,

and if we die,

we die fighting for a place
that means something.

Can you think of
a better way to go?

[CHUCKLING] Yeah.

We go with
my daughter's life intact.

And Judith's
and Ezra's and Adam's.

You want me
to keep going?

Alright,
let's get the kids out first.

Everybody, pack up.
We're going to Oceanside.

Grab weapons, food...
whatever you can.

We'll regroup there.

Means they're closing in

If we had a window to get out,

But we can't stay here.

You said...

we can't stay here.

We can... We can

Call Alexandria,

It's not gonna be

Oceanside can't get here.

Alexandria, either.

Not for you. He's not yours.

I'll take it.

Remembered fondly

Nothing?

Not even

You've changed.

Lost your
sense of humor.

No, I haven't.

I left it on a dresser
in the Kingdom,

and then
it burned down.

Well, if it makes you feel
any better,

I left my pride
sitting up there, too.

I always hated
that stupid dresser, anyway.

Seems forgiveness of your
faux pas is not in her vocab,

as such, which leaves me
with the unpleasant conclusion

that she finds me unworthy
of her further attentions,

confirming what
I've already known

been repeated to me.

Who cares
