With the infected removed from the hotel grounds, the hotel survivors begin fortifying and repairing the building. However, Strand is stabbed by Ilene, the mother of Oscar's wife, and requires medicine to be treated. Madison and Elena head to Tijuana to obtain the medicine. At the bandit warehouse, Madison and Elena arrive to trade, where she overhears them describe Nick's appearance and tries to find out where. Madison turns on the hotel lights against everybody's wishes in hopes of attracting Nick's attention, though Alicia convinces her to respect Nick's decision to choose death over family. Madison shuts off the lights, but not before Travis them.
In Tijuana, Nick and Luciana are awoken by news that one of the community's scouts, Francisco, has deserted with his family. Alejandro worries that the community might collapse and forbids anybody from leaving. Nick patrols the perimeter and spots the bandits scouting the community from a distance.
