Nick stared at the fire before him. The others around him were figuring out a plan. He caught brief mentions of 'Make a distraction' and 'Cover ourselves in walker blood.' but it didn't really process in his mind. One thought went around and around him his head
Maggie's still alive.
He had told that to Luke, who had wrapped his arms around him, muttering 'Oh thank God.' over and over. Nick felt like the dread him his chest had left. At first he thought that he imagined that she'd kicked. But after the third time he realized she'd survived the attack from Carver.
Now they just needed to find a way out. It seemed impossible, but Luke looked confident in finding a way. He almost acted like didn't just have the shit kicked out of him by Carver. Maybe it was because Maggie was alive? Nick's eyes wondered to Luke, who was chatting with Bonnie and Mike.
He felt a pang or annoyance when he felt jealousy for seeing Luke talk to the ginger woman. He knew they were only talking about escaping. But they had been together before. Way before Luke slept with Nick. And Luke wasn't his. They weren't exactly together, they were just going to have a child together. But didn't that mean anything?
He shook it off. He saw Kenny wake up and walk around. His eye was patched up. He was a brave bastard for standing up to Carver and living after what happened.

"We're leavin' tonight." Bonnie announced a few minutes later "We have Clem use the PA system to cause a distraction and we head out to the herd. We cover ourselves in guts and move through the herd carefully. And we'll be home free." She made it sound so simple. But no one complain except for Sarita, saying Kenny couldn't leave yet, but the half-blinded man calmed her, saying he was fine as long as they got out together.

They had sent Clementine out and the rest of them hurried along to escape out the front. Nick couldn't believe how close they were. They could leave and find a safer place!
Then Carver showed up with a gun.
"So this is how it's gonna be? After all I did fer ya'll." He says "You wanna go and get yerselves killed out there, be my guest! But I'll put a bullet in you and that baby before ya leave, Rebecca."
Out of nowhere, Clem falls on top of Carver, sending him stumbling. Kenny punches him and Luke grabs his gun, aiming at him.
"Ya ain't gonna shoot, Luke. Ya ain't got the guts." Carver glared.
"You tried to kill my unborn daughter, I have more than enough reason to kill you." Luke says surprisingly coldly.
He pulls the trigger, hitting Carver in the skull.
