Episode Four: Abandon All HopeThe Episode starts 3 days after the group made it back from the Trailer Park and lost Greg. Thomas, Russell, Connor, and Maya are on a supply run to some gas stations, making sure they stay far away from the Trailer Park. In one of the gas stations, the group decides to split up to make the search faster. Russell and Connor search the left side while Thomas and Maya search the right side. Thomas and Maya talk about Eden and the impending attack from the Trailer Park Community. Maya wants to leave before they are attacked to protect the people she cares about, while Thomas tells her that they should stay and fight. Connor and Russell call them over, so they go the left side of the gas station. When they get there, they see Connor and Russell holding three people at gunpoint. The first is a muscular black man who has a revolver pointed at Connor. The second is a scared looking unarmed women and the third is another unarmed man. Connor tells them that they aren’t here to hurt them, and that they just want to talk. Connor tries to prove this by taking the huge risk of putting his gun down, much to Thomas’ dismay. He commands for Russell, Thomas, and Maya to put their guns down too, so they do it.
Cautiously, the black man asks who they are, the Connor introduces himself and the three others. He asks them if they know about the Trailer Park, to which they say they don’t. He then tells them about Eden and how it is safe, and invites them to join as long as they hand over the revolver. After some hesitation, the other man and woman convince the black man to hand over the revolver. Calming down when the revolver is in his hands, Connor asks who they are. The black man introduces himself as Reese, and the other man is Jake while the woman’s name is Lola. Connor and the other three pick up their guns and promise the three new people a place in Eden. They bring them back to Eden and ask them a couple of questions before letting them get settled in.
Annie, Becca, Lucia, Thomas, Emily, Russell, Maya, Natalia, Rodd, Bennett, Gretchen, and Gary have a group meeting, pondering whether they should stay and fight for Eden. Gary claims that not all of the Trailer Park is bad, and that all they would have to do is get rid of Ross, Al, and the top guards there. Rodd and Natalia say that they can’t leave Eden because Ryan is still sick, although he is slowly getting better. Annie and Becca want to leave in fear of losing everyone all over again. Russell, Maya, Lucia, and Bennett also wants to leave with Annie and Becca. Gretchen doesn’t agree with Maya, saying that she loves her but she feels that staying and fighting for Eden is the right thing to do. Thomas also thinks that staying is better. Emily wants to stay so she can kill the guard that killed Sully. After some more talking, the group decides to split up, with some staying at Eden and some leaving. The people who are staying are Thomas, Emily, Natalia, Rodd, Ryan, Gary, and Gretchen. The people who are leaving are Annie, Becca, Lucia, Russell, Maya, and Bennett. Lucia decides to tell Diane about who has decided to leave and who has decided to stay in the morning. The group who is leaving starts to pack up while the ones that are staying help them pack up and have some final conversations.
In the middle of the night, a truck rolls up at the gas station in which Reese, Jake, and Lola were found in. Four men come out, all looking like bandits. The loot the store and then keep on moving as they talk about the group that they just killed. They also talk about where they could find and kill the three that escaped their attack. The three people they are talking about happen to be Reese, Jake, and Lola. The leader of the bandits name is Chris, and the three others are Damon, Jose, and Kyle.
The next morning, Lucia goes to Diane’s office to tell her about the people leaving and the people staying. Connor is also there too. She explains to them that she, Annie, Becca, Russell, Maya, and Bennett are going to leave while the rest stay. Diane yells at her, saying that they are not allowed to leave and that they must stay and fix what they have done. Lucia yells back, demanding to leave. Diane orders Connor to knock her out, so he obeys. She then tells him to gather up the other five people that were going to leave and to tie them up and prepare to bring them to the Trailer Park.
As Annie, Becca, Maya, Russell, and Bennett prepare to leave at the front gates while saying there final goodbyes to the people that are staying, they are surrounded by Connor and some of the guards. Connor orders for the guards to tie them up and they obey. Thomas asks what the hell is going on, and Connor answers that they were planning to leave without fixing they’re mistake and that now they would pay for it. Thomas and the others that were planning to stay try and stop Connor and the guards, but they are just threatened to be shot and killed. As they watch the prisoners being pulled into the truck, Emily slips a knife into Becca’s pocket without anyone noticing.
Annie, Becca, Lucia, Russell, Maya, and Bennett are loaded onto a truck being driven by Connor and a bunch of other guards as passengers. Connor tells the people of Eden that he has been approved by Diane to bring the people that were planning to leave to the Trailer Park so that they can hand them over as an apology. Gary tells the group that was planning to stay that he’ll try to do something about it, then he asks Connor if he can come so he can try to work it out without any people being lost since he used to be part of the Trailer park community. Connor approves of this and then leaves with two trucks carrying the guards, Gary, and the prisoners that were planning to leave Eden.
The trucks reach the gates of the Trailer Park Community. Connor gets out and tells them that they mean no harm, then tells his men to get the prisoners out of the truck and make them get on their knees in a line side by side. The guards obey and line up Annie, Becca, Lucia, Russell, ,Maya, and Bennett. Ross and Al come out from the gates and Connor explains that if they take the six prisoners, they must be in a peace agreement. Ross says that he will agree, but only on the condition that the organized trade between the communities continues. Connor tells him that it might be awhile before they can do that since the number of people in Eden is getting higher, and that a lot more supplies is being used. Ross isn’t happy to hear this, but he says that he will at least consider the agreement without the continuation of the organized trade if Connor gives the prisoners over. Happy to hear this, Connor prepares to hand the six prisoners over, but Gary steps in. He tells Ross that these are innocent people that didn’t have anything to do with what happened. He explains how the group was just trying to rescue their friends when the attacked, and that the Trailer Park was at fault because they killed Sully when he didn’t know the boundary rules. Ross just tells Gary that Eden should have told Sully and the others about the rules, and then tells Connor that he will take the prisoners and consider the peace agreement. Gary pulls out his gun, pointing it at Ross and telling him if he takes the prisoners, he will shoot him. Ross just laughs, saying that as soon as the bullet leaves Gary’s gun, he will be mowed down by the Trailer Park guards. Before Gary can even reply, Al comes up from behind and trips him, knocking the gun out of his hand. Defeated, Gary watches as Ross’s guards start to take Annie, Becca, Lucia, Maya, Russell, and Bennett into the Trailer Park.
Meanwhile at Eden, the bandit truck comes up to the front gates of Eden. Rodd stands at the gate with a gun, asking them what they want. Chris starts to say that he and his three buddies want a place at the community, but then he sees Reese, who is practicing shooting on the wall of Eden next to the front gates. Chris, Damon, Jose, and Kyle start shooting as they get back into the truck and ram into the front gates, eventually busting them. Rodd jumps into cover before he is shot and warns everyone else that they are being attacked by calling out as the shooting continues. Thomas shoots at the truck as the four bandits get out and find cover. While shooting, he sees Lia, the daughter of Diane, get shot in the head by one of the bandits as she is trying to run into a house. He sighs and continues fighting.
At the Trailer Park, as Annie and Becca are being led into the front gates, Bennett gives them a small wink and then head butts the guard holding him. He is restrained by another, but bites the guard’s hand and tells the girls to run. They start to run as one of the Trailer Park Guards shoots at them. Shocked, Annie and Becca take cover behind one of the trucks as Connor goes to retrieve them. Becca and Annie frantically search for a way to escape, then Becca finds the small knife that Emily slipped into her pocket when they were driven out of Eden. Becca tells Annie to stay out as a distraction and then quickly climbs under the truck. When Connor goes over to Annie to restrain her, Becca stabs him in the leg three times. She gets out from under the truck as Connor in stunned in pain. She grabs for his gun but only manages to knock it to the ground as he holds her with his one arm, cursing at her. Annie picks the gun up from the ground and points it at Connor as he holds Becca. Connor calls out to his men for help as Annie pulls the trigger twice, hitting him in the stomach and the chest. The guards grab ahold of Annie and Becca again and help Connor back to Ross, Al, and his men as he his coughing up his blood. A very hurt Connor asks if he still wants the prisoners. After giving his guards some sort of order in a code, Ross takes out his gun and shoots Connor in the head, finishing him off. Ross’s guards then quickly kill Connor’s men before they can even react. After shooting all of them in the head, Ross smiles and explains to Al that now that they have taken out Eden’s most skilled fighters, now was their time to strike. He then explains to Annie, Becca, Lucia, Russell, Maya, and Bennett that they would be used as hostages so that they can get inside of Eden. Annie starts to cry a little as Lucia and Maya try to comfort her. They are then loaded into the two Eden trucks once again, this time being driven by Ross, Al, and some guards from the Trailer Park.
The trucks reach Eden as the bandit attack continues. Everything is interrupted when the trucks park on a hill where everyone from Eden can see, then Annie, Becca, Lucia, Russell, Maya, and Bennett are put into a line side by side on their knees. Even the bandits stop shooting as Ross explains that he will kill the prisoners one by one until he and his men are allowed into Eden to take over.
