prison; Abraham, Rosita, and Eugene decide to join them heading south until they are able to find a new vehicle. Back at the house, Rick is woken by noises in the house, discovering a small band of scavengers are inside. He hides under the bed as one, Tony (Davi Jay), takes a nap on it. Another scavenger, Len (Marcus Hester), demands Tony give up the bed, having no claim to it. The two get into a fight, during which Tony spots Rick under the bed. Before Tony can issue a warning, Len chokes him unconscious and then gets in bed and falls asleep. Rick sneaks out when the other scavengers shout upon discovering signs of Michonne's freshly washed clothes, believing a woman to be nearby. Rick is trying to flee the house but he gets discovered by another scavenger, Lou, in the bathroom. In order to stay hidden and undetected by the other members of the group, Rick quickly fights Lou and begins strangling him. Although Lou attempts to grab a pair of scissors on the nearby counter to stab Rick with, Rick ultimately strangles him to death before escaping out the window. Rick climbs out from the house to try to sneak away but his path is blocked by Joe (Jeff Kober), their lookout. As he spots Michonne and Carl returning, Rick is about to make a distraction when shouts from inside, due to Lou having become a walker, draw Joe's attention away, allowing Rick to run and warn Michonne and Carl away. The three continue travelling and encounter a sign near railroad tracks, stating that "sanctuary for all" lies down the way of the tracks.
