When Daryl and Merle return to the prison after Woodbury, the older of the two brothers finds comfort in the most unlikely of people; a fervent young woman found alone and starving on the highway. The two form an unlikely friendship in spite of their differences, but with the Governor on the march and new threats on the horizon, can anything survive in this world of the dead?

The final Horcrux has eluded the Golden Trio; instead, someone else has been tasked to find it. Now she must travel back in time and trick a teenage Tom Riddle into revealing its whereabouts.

The guys adopt a new student into their little group and Kurt honestly doesn't know what's come over him.

He remained impassive, watching me calmly and I scoffed. "Unbelievable – if anyone else had sad that to you they would have had a one way ticket to the hospital wing or worse. Why not me?" "I care about you." "Don't say that," I snapped, gathering everything closer towards me. "Just tell me what I can do-" "Nothing. You can do nothing."

Merle was minutes away from doing the unthinkable, but before he was able to put the saw to use, someone spoke from the shadows. He didn't know it at the time but that was the very moment his life would take a drastic turn. There are three things he needs to accomplish. Get the woman to the group. Make sure his brother is okay. And make Officer Friendly pay. Easier said than done.
