** He also jokes about how his church is really a trap and he's going to take their squirrels. The group was not amused.

That night, Abraham makes a toast to the group and implores them to get to Washington and cure the virus. Rick and the others agree, and get some rest for the night. Sasha leaves to take care of Judith, but a conflicted Bob asks her to give him another kiss before she leaves, and tries to hold onto her hand as long as possible. Rick also goes to Gabriel and says that he knows the latter is hiding something, and that if it hurts the group in any way, he'll kill him.

Outside, Daryl and Carol are clearing the area of walkers when they see a hearse drive by. Convinced that the driver is the one who took Beth, both of them climb into the car they found earlier and drive after it...

Bob is sitting outside the church, crying to himself, and walks into the forest. As he stops near a tree and breaks down, he is knocked out from by Martin, the Terminant Tyreese claimed to have killed in the previous episode. He wakes up later near a campfire and sees... Gareth, who is with the surviving Terminus members. Gareth tells Bob that he's still alive, and that there's nothing personal in what has happened between. He tells Bob that the surviving Terminus group has been forced to hunt like everyone else, and that it's ironic that Bob would be the one they captured.

** Tara reveals her role as [[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS04E08TooFarGone part of The Governor's army during the fall of the prison]]. Likewise, Rick recognizes her when he was negotiation with The Governor at that time at the beginning of the episode.

Inside, Gabriel tells them that he's scavenged every location in the nearby area except for one that's overrun with walkers. Rick, Sasha, Bob and Michonne bring Gabriel with them for their scavenging mission, but not before Rick tells Gabriel that it's never truly safe, and not to trust Gabriel.
