* TheAloner: Clayton took a job that isolated him from the world, only to realize what a mistake it was once the world ended.
* AndIMustScream: Clayton has been stuck in his car since the hurricane and has clearly been slowly starving to death, incapable of escaping.
* ContinuityNod: Strand says he drinks to forget how he doesn’t have anybody he loves to drink with anymore, recalling Thomas Abigail and Madison Clark.
* {{Foil}}: Clayton is one for Morgan, as he also isolated himself from everybody he cared about only to regret it.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: It’s not just the walkers John and Victor have to worry about; there’s a very hungry alligator in the surrounding waters who’s eating very well that is the biggest threat to their lives as they plot an escape.
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism:
** The episode contrasts between John’s unwavering idealism and optimism and Strand’s pragmatic cynicism. John fervently believes they can escape the island despite all odds, but Strand talks it down the whole time to stay safe with meager rations. Strand is wooed to join John after being moved by his loyalty towards him as a friend, but when their plan falls apart during their trip, he snaps back to his old ways and insists the plan was never going to work.
** Also between Luci and Clayton. Luci is determined to help the latter and believes she’s a failure for being unable to get him a beer as he requested. However, Clayton points out she already did the most by becoming hellbent on helping a stranger she’s just met and assures her she has nothing to apologize for. Both are rewarded when Luci happens upon one of Morgan’s supply drops that were left out of pure altruism, including a beer that proves to be a nice last treat for Clayton.

The mysterious woman contacts Morgan and others over the walkie and Morgan recognizes her voice. She warns them to stop helping people, as it makes them weak. Strand and John are marooned and the surrounding waters has an alligator in it. Luciana comes across Clayton, an older man who is mortally wounded and trapped in his car from the storm. His last wish is to have a beer, so Luciana sets off in search of one. John and Strand assemble a raft using a camper shell from a truck. John uses the horn to lure Infected to the water to distract the alligator as they begin to cross. However, the horn dies and the alligator attacks their raft, causing a leak. John fires at it and they swim back. Luciana discovers a supply box left by Morgan and finds a beer inside (from Jim, who is a brewer). The box is also marked with Morgan's radio channel. Luciana returns to Clayton with the beer, and he tells her he was a truck driver and has notebooks with descriptions of locations where he left supplies. He later dies. Luciana reunites with Morgan and the others after contacting his radio channel. Morgan is then contacted by Charlie and Alicia on the radio, but is interrupted by the mysterious woman, who is driving Althea's SWAT truck. She approaches the semi-truck with everyone inside and opens fire with the SWAT truck's guns.
