Welcome to the Club
Directed by Lennie James
Strand and Alicia are working with Virginia to clean up waste from the community. Marcus begins to harass Strand and Alicia but is reprimanded by Dakota, Virginia's younger sister. Due to their insolence, Strand and Alicia are taken to see Virginia for punishment, where they are surprised to see Daniel trimming her hair. Daniel acts as though he doesn't remember any of his old companions - they are uncertain if it is just an act, or if it actually was amnesia brought on by trauma (there is a noticeable healed wound on his head).
Virginia sends Alicia and Strand to a warehouse full of walkers covered in sticky Molasses as a punishment where she tests them. Charlie also appears in the warehouse who was punished for trying to escape from the warehouse. Sanjay, a prisoner who already experienced the deaths of his companions and several pioneers, arrives to the warehouse. Suddenly, Dakota appears to help them escape from the warehouse, causing the death of two pioneers who tried to capture her and take her to Virginia. Strand murders Sanjay for being a coward and together with Alicia, Janis, and Charlie, they manage to subdue the walkers with success.
Later, Virginia praises Strand for his work of eliminating the walkers from the warehouse and gives him a key and a very important position for the community. Strand sends Alicia elsewhere and says goodbye to her. Strand tries to convince Daniel about his true self but he ignores him again. Daniel leaves the community and is attacked by a walker, when he is suddenly saved by a mysterious man who reveals himself to be Morgan Jones.
