Plot Synopsis[]
Everyone is now in Kansas and mourning the major loss of Charles Garnett. Citizen Z delivers a eulogy as a heartbroken Roberta looks longingly out the window. When the truck has radiator trouble, Addy and Mack decide to scout up ahead on their dirtbike to find help.
When Doc and 10K fix the truck themselves, 10K takes the wheel, apparently for the first time, so Doc gives him the basics of driving.
Meanwhile, Mack contemplates leaving the group though Addy says it'd be selfish to abandon both their friends and their mission. Mack agrees to stay with the team, though unfortunately, they went a different way than the rest of the gang at a fork in the road. The team is then separated.
With 10K at the wheel, the truck pulls up at a pub called the Fu-Bar. There, Doc meets an old friend named Sketchy McClane. Sketchy tells them there are no zombies around for 100 miles in any direction, but Mack and Addy have just seen an invading horde of zombies, proving him wrong.
So, the team needs a new truck while Roberta gets drunk, so they decide to stick around and enter a shooting contest. 10K learns he has some competition with a Korean girl named Brittany who's apparently just as good with a sniper rifle.
In the bar, Doc meets a sleazy man named Forman who tells them about his gigantic vehicle. Murphy decides to dispense with any negotiations in obtaining Forman's vehicle by jumping the vehicle's owner while he's urinating against the side of the barn, though things go a bit awry when Murphy bursts for a second and actually bites the drunken survivor.
Roberta, meanwhile, gets drunk herself and bonds with the bartender as the shooting contest begins and 10K develops a crush on Brittany. Soon, the wounded and enraged Forman re-enters the bar and tells everyone he was bitten by Murphy.
Up north in the listening station, Citizen Z realizes that some kind of dust storm (that turns out to be the horde of roving zombies) is rolling into western Kansas. Some stylish gunplay creates four new zombies that are all killed pretty quickly.
When Doc confronts Murphy about the fact that he bit a person, Murphy tries to convince him that he didn't. Murphy runs off, finds Forman shot dead, extracts his tooth from Forman's wound and puts it back in his mouth.
Meanwhile, the zombie horde is closing in as Roberta discusses the death of Charlie and has an intense moment with the undead bartender before killing him. 10K and Brittany finish the shooting contest in a tie just as the zombie horde begins to invade in earnest.
10K wins the prize when he gives mercy to the driver of the ice cream truck used to lure the zombie targets in the shooting contest. As he and Brittany flee, she runs out of ammo and he saves her father by shooting a pursuing zombie in the head. He gives Brittany the Chinese made AMR-2 sniper rifle he's just won and she kisses him on the cheek. Meanwhile, Roberta has singlehandedly killed a ton of zombies.
As the team prepares to depart from the bar, 10K is attacked by a zombie but Brittany saves him with her newly acquired rifle. The episode ends with Mack and Addy witnessing a lot of zombies coming their way.
