During the episode,Home

"Help, somebody, help!" Alyssa was heard shouting from the car.

"There's too many!"

"Where's True?"

"I don't know! We can't ho… There she is…" Jayne smiled half-heartedly as Gertrude ran onto the bridge and shot at a zombie with killer aim. She noticed a pickaxe that Alyssa must've dropped, so she ran over to it and slammed it onto the nearest walkers head. Gertrude turned around just in time to see a biter lean in to bite her. Before Gertrude could react, an arrow shot through its head as 'Daryl' came running to join in, Jayne looked over to her older sister, "What the hell… Who is that? Where did he come from?"

"Does it matter?" Gertrude stabbed another walker in the head, "He's helping!"

"But what about him?" Jayne nodded off to Merle standing in the corner. "What's…? What's he doing? He's not even contributing. We could use some help with this!"

Merle seemed to listen in on the conversation and laughed at Jayne's remark. He then let out a war cry and stabbed the nearest walker to him in the head. Gertrude noticed that he seemed to be only attacking the ones that were coming over to him, not helping her siblings or even his in fact. Merle made eye contact with her and waved her off, "Don't chip a nail"

"Please"

"Where's Alyssa?"

"She's trapped in the car"

"I'm right here! Thank you so much! We probably would've been goners if you hadn't shown up" Alyssa said as she gripped onto Daryl's hand that seemed to have saved her from the zombie in the car.

"Now that's enough" Merle said, aiming his gun right at David.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"You helped us"

"Put the gun down" Daryl instructed his brother.

"This is a nice running car you got" Merle walked over to David's car.

"You can have it" Alyssa said in a panic.

Gertrude glared at Merle as he started to fish through the backseat of the car. She felt stupid for even approaching these two rednecks in the middle of the woods. True glanced over to the younger brother and was surprised to see that his face had shock written all over it. It was almost like he didn't know what to think of his brother right now.

"Get out of our car" Gertrude demanded.

"Feisty, aren't we?" Merle chuckled.

"You take anything from our car or shoot our brother and we will gun you down in a heartbeat" Jayne took a step toward the car. "Don't think just because we're women we don't know how to shoot"

"That's enough! Please, take what you want. We don't want any trouble" David pleaded.

Daryl suddenly walked over to his brother, aiming at his brothers back. He pointed it onto his skin, making him freeze up. Gertrude watched in astonishment as she really didn't know what to think of the situation. She could even tell that Daryl didn't know what to do as of right now.

"That's enough. Back away from the car" Daryl finally spoke. "Come on, we gotta go. You're scaring this family. Leave them alone. Let's get back off the road"

Merle turned around to his brother with a face made of stone. If he was surprised, he didn't show it, "I know you ain't pointing that thing at me"

Daryl slowly nodded as he moved his brother away from the car. His finger was nowhere near the trigger but Merle couldn't see that, "I'm dead serious"

Alyssa looked over to David, panicked as she ran to their older brother and gave him a hug. He hugged her back and took a grip on Jayne's shoulder who just glared at the man. Gertrude looked over to his brother as he motioned toward the car. She slowly nodded just as Daryl moved his brother back off the bridge, "Sorry how this thing all went down. I wish you all the best of luck in finding your sisters"

"Is everyone alright?" David asked his sisters the second the brothers were out of sight and into the forest. "Alyssa, you need to keep your grip on that pickaxe"

"I know, but how did they know we were going to North Dakota?"

"Because I told them. We were talking before the walkers attacked" Gertrude informed them.

"You told them?"

"What were you doing talking to them? Do you know what that man could've done to you?"

"No better than what the walkers could've done if those two hadn't shown up" Alyssa mumbled.

Gertrude sighed and looked back over to the trees where they disappeared. She remembered hearing them argue about going back to the 'others'. She hoped that meant other survivors like Daryl and not like his big brother Merle. Gertrude turned around and said with a clear voice, "We need to go back and get them"

"Are you insane, True? Did you not just see what they did to David?" Jayne retorted. "That man aimed a gun to him"

Gertrude didn't wait to hear a debate about whether or not they should bring along the brothers. All she really cared about was that they were talking about a group. She was tired of running and wanted to have some sort of moment of peace. She turned and went after the brothers as she heard David and Jayne shouting for her to come back.

"Let her go back" Alyssa responded. "Whether we know them or not, we owe them our lives for helping"

Gertrude smiled slightly as she entered the woods almost ready to call out to the guys. She didn't know if they would agree or not.

"I didn't know" She heard Merle say apologetically.

Gertrude slightly stiffened up as she heard the brothers talk about something really cryptic, but she was sure that they were talking about a past full of abuse.

Gertrude suddenly thought that maybe this was a bad idea to approach the brothers like this. She turned and looked back over to the highway. Gertrude could see in the distance, her siblings waiting, watching her. She swallowed and turned back over to the voices, she had to at least offer them a ride.

"I may be the one that's walkin' away," She could hear Daryl say, "but you're the one that's leavin'"

She took a step back as she noticed that Daryl was walking right in her direction. When he looked up and saw her, he stopped in his tracks and just stared at her.

"Do you need a ride, Daryl?" Gertrude finally asked.

"If you don't mind" he shifted his crossbow over his shoulder. "I'm sorry about my brother. If I'd known he was planning on raiding your car I would've never brought him over"

"Is he coming?" Gertrude nodded over to where she heard the voice. "We might have to confiscate his gun for the time that he's in the car"

"That won't be a problem" Daryl shook his head.

They both perked up as they heard rustling in the distance as Merle came through. He looked between Daryl and Gertrude and then sighed as he took out his gun from his pocket and handing it over. Gertrude took the gun, put the safety on, and removed the clip. She nodded her head back over to the bridge as the brothers followed her back to her siblings.

"Any place in particular, guys? We're taking requests" Gertrude asked.


"You said this place was a sanctuary" Alyssa said uneasily as she noticed the Prison was overrun by walkers. "Didn't you say that the place was separated off?"

"It was the Governor who did this" Daryl said darkly as he shot out an arrow.

"Come on!" David urged his sisters. "These people need our help!"

"Mind as well" Gertrude loaded her gun and stepped out of the woods and started firing shots at walkers in the distance.

"This better open up a welcome mat for us" Jayne grumbled as she shot the closer ones. "With a hot shower, food, and everything"

"You and me both, Princess" Merle charged at walker at the gate. "Man, I love a good killing!"
