While Glenn, Tara,
'''Season 5, Episode 14:'''
!Spend

In the town's chapel, Gabriel is getting himself set up for the day's prayers. He sees a welcome note written by members of the town and begins to have a breakdown, tearing pieces of his Bible out and crying to himself.

Noah meets with Deanna's husband, Reg Monroe. Reg tells him about how he built the walls surrounding Alexandria, and Noah asks to learn more about architecture because he wants to be a builder. Reg gives him a book and tells him to write down everything he hears in preparation.

Soon after, Deanna tells Aiden and Glenn that the town has been suffering power outages due to a lack of proper parts for the solar generators, and both men elect to take Aiden, Tara and Nicholas for a scavenging trip to a warehouse, along with Eugene, who can identify what parts they need. They set off as Aiden's vehicle blares obnoxious dubstep music.

When they arrive, Aiden tries to get them to rush into the building, but Glenn orders him to wait while they check the perimeter for the available exits. Once they do so, everyone splits into groups of two to search for the supplies. They eventually find the parts and break boxes open to get what they need, while Aiden notices several walkers behind a fence. Suddenly, an armored walker (presumed to be a former warehouse guard) comes shambling towards him.

When Aiden shoots it multiple times to no effect, Glenn tells him to stop. Aiden accidentally shoots a grenade on the walker's belt, which causes an explosion that injures Tara and causes him to be blown back and impaled on a broken shelf. Nicholas tells the group that he's dead, and they pick up Tara and flee into an office to help her.

Once inside, they realize that Aiden is NotQuiteDead,
and Eugene embark stays with Tara while Glenn, Nicholas and Noah go to rescue Aiden. Eugene realizes that walkers are approaching and valiantly carries Tara out, shooting walkers down along the way.

The three men get to Aiden, and after unsuccessfully trying to pry him from the shelf, Nicholas turns and runs away in abandons them. Glenn keeps trying to rescue Aiden, who tells him that he was responsible for other scouting members dying because they didn't listen to him. Noah and Glenn are forced to flee as a pack of walkers descend upon Aiden and begins tearing open his body as he screams.

Just outside Alexandria in a construction zone, a man named Tobin is leading a crew including Abraham to help expand the wall. When a pack of walkers attacks, Tobin orders them to retreat, though not before a sentry named Francine falls from her perch. When Abraham realizes Tobin isn't going to save her, he carves his way through the walkers and rescues her, then carves up the rest of the pack after getting her to safety. Tobin later goes to Deanna and tells her that Abraham should be leading the crew instead of him.

Carol is once again visited by Sam, who asks for more cookies. She orders him to steal some chocolate for her, and he obliges. Afterwards, she makes him cookies and he reluctantly tells her that he broke his mother's owl statue. When Carol asks why, he tells her it was because he was angry, and that he needs a gun for protection before running off. Carol realizes that Sam and possibly Jessie may be getting physically beaten by Pete.

Glenn, Noah and Nicholas attempt to escape the mounting pack of walkers, but are caught
on opposite sides of a revolving door. When all hope looks to be lost, Eugene drives in with the van and begins blasting the dubstep music, which lures the walkers away from the outer exit of the door. Glenn tries to break the glass, but Nicholas panics and shoves his way outside, causing the section Glenn and Noah are in to open up towards the walkers. The pack grabs Noah and drags him away as Glenn screams, and he's forced to watch as the walkers devour the screaming teenager in front of him.

Nicholas returns to the van and tells Eugene that they're leaving before attempting to commander the vehicle. Glenn arrives at beats Nicholas unconscious in anger, then tells Eugene to throw him in the back before driving back in tears.
