Is that a kick?
He is strong.

What's wrong with you, lady?
Trying to get yourself k*lled?
- You okay?
- Thank you.
Are you really sleeping in a walker zone?
Uh...
I'm not so sure.
[Walkers growling]
Back up.
[Grunts]
[Spear plunges, body thuds]
[Panting]
[Grunts]
Where'd you learn to fight like that?
[Chuckles]
My dad taught me.
He's gonna k*ll me.
I'm not supposed to be outside the wall alone.
[Walker growling]
We gotta move.
There's a clinic where I live.
Doctor can check you out.
Maybe you hit your head or something.
What's your name?
Athena.
Athena?
- Like the...
- Greek goddess.
My mom gave it to me because she thought it would make me strong.
What's your name?
I...
We better get you to the clinic.
Come on, lady.
Let's go.
Right there.
That's where I live.
No.
This isn't possible.
How long have you been here?
[Sighs]
Since I was born.
How old are you?
.
Why?
We only just built this place a few months ago.
Hey, Max... let us in?
Come on.
Let us in, Max.
Max: What the hell, Athena?
Remember what happened last time you snuck out?
I know, but if I hadn't snuck out this time, she'd be husk chum by now.
She needs to see the doc.
If you just let me in, my dad won't even know I was gone.
♪♪ - [Gate clatters]
- Athena, he already knows.
Morgan: You okay?
I'm fine.
What the hell were you thinking?
Babaji, I'm okay.
But I don't think she is.

Morgan?
♪♪ Have we met before?
♪♪ [Walker growling]
Max: Incoming.

♪♪ Come on, inside.

Morgan: Go find the doc to come check on her.
And we will talk later about how you're gonna muck out the stables for the next month, you hear?
[Scoffs]
Are you okay?
It's everything you wanted it to be.
You really don't recognize me?
I'm sorry.
My memory is not what it used to be.
Morgan... it's me.
It's Grace.
How do you know about her?
Because I am her.
Why can't you see that?
I don't know what you're trying to do here,
- but you need to sto...
- Morgan, I swear it's me.
The last thing I remember is leaving this place with you...
to go to the hospital June was building.
But this place, it... it was different.
If it's not me, how would I know that we rode on a carousel in a shopping mall?
Or that you and Duane used to race cars together?
Morgan, it's me.
Grace?
[Chuckles]
Yes.
♪♪ Yeah, this isn't possible.
You can't be here.
Why?
Are you sure it's me?
Morgan: I buried you myself.
How did I die?
Your baby.
The labor took a lot out of you, and the radiation made you sicker than we thought, and it was...
I'm sorry.
I tried to do everything I could for you.
And my baby?
Is he...?
- Did he make it?
- She.
And she did.
You've already met her.
[Voice breaking]
I should've known.
[Sighs]
Is she okay?
Mm-hmm.
I spent so much time reading about how it could all go wrong because of what happened to me, how the pregnancy wouldn't last, how babies could absorb the radiation
- from their mothers.
- She's fine.
Trust me.
[Chuckles]
[Sighs, chuckles]
Before you passed, Grace, you said you had one wish.
That you wanted to know what Athena would be like when she grew up.
I don't know, but...
maybe that's why you're here.
People don't get what they wish for.
Sometimes things happen that you just can't explain.
She would love to meet you properly.
I can't...
We can't...
We don't even know what this is, Morgan.
She asks about you.
There's only so much I know, so there's only so much that I can tell her.
I know.
But I think we should hold off on telling her, at least until we know what's going on.
June: Trying to scare her, Morgan?
Usually I try to keep people out of the grave.
I was just giving her the walk-around.
This is Dr.
Dorie.
- Doctor?
- Well, self-taught.
I was a nurse before.
He insisted on the title change.
Athena told me what happened.
Let me just take a look.
It doesn't look like you have a concussion or any sign of brain injury.
What's the last thing you remember?
Um...
Traveling on the road with someone.
And then...
then it just starts to get a bit fuzzy.
Okay.
You'll stay here.
You'll get some rest.
Maybe some things will start to come back to you.
Hand me that water.
Need to keep her hydrated.
This is Charlie, my apprentice.
- [Bag unzips]
- Charlie?
My parents thought they were having a boy.
So did I.
Thank you.
♪♪ It's gonna feel like a lot of things have changed.
Daniel?
You don't happen to be a barber, do you?
I'm getting too old for this.
We all are.
Maybe the next stray you bring in will actually be able to give a decent haircut.
[Chuckles]
Are they actually...?
Friends?
Yeah.
Something like that.
- Dwight, how's the harvest doing?
- Dwight: Good.
It'll be ready by next week.
- Hey.
- [Chuckles]
Hey, easy with that.
Who'd have thought?
He's more of a hellraiser than I was at his age.
[Chuckles]
I don't know about that, D.
Morgan, did you get the tomato seeds?
Now's the time to plant 'em.
Oh, uh, yeah, I will stop up at the seed store on my run this afternoon.
♪♪ Oh, sorry.
This, um...
Hey, I'm Dwight.
Uh, Sherry.
And this is Tina.
And the boy over there, that's John.
It's so nice to see such a happy family living here.
[Chuckles]
We got lucky.
Come on.
- Hey, don't forget those seeds.
- Seeds.
Come on, bud.
♪♪ When did they get back together?
Not long after Athena was born.
♪♪ And Alicia?
Al, everyone else?
Alicia's running a place of her own.
She fixed up the burnt-out stadium that she lived at with her mom.
And Luciana and Wes went with her.
Al...
Well, Al left a while ago.
She said she was chasing a story, but, uh, we all think what she was chasing somebody.
What?
You know, I never did tell you this from before, but.. I didn't think this was gonna work.
I wanted to believe like you did, but after the way we all fell out with each other, and what we were facing...
I didn't think it would happen.
How'd you do it?
What brought everyone together?
We were struggling.
We didn't know who was painting the graffiti or what they would do to us.
We couldn't even agree with each other how to face them.
And then...
...then you had Athena.
And we lost you.
Everybody forgot their differences and rallied around that child.
They still do.
I'm just sorry that you didn't live long enough to see it happen.
Me too.
♪♪ I think there's a way that you can get to know her without having to explain what's going on.
I do.

Athena.
You want to go on a run?
♪♪ [Athena humming "In Dreams"]
♪♪ I know what you're doing, Babaji.
Morgan: Yeah?
You think if you take me to the feed store every once in a while, I won't sneak out anymore.
And do you think it'll work?
Yeah.
It might.

[Humming]
"In Dreams"?
Roy Orbison.
That's what you're singing, right?
Yeah, I guess.
Never knew what it was called.
I never go anywhere without it...
Even though my dad says it's not safe to listen to out here.
Can I see it?
No.
I don't let anyone else listen to it.
My mom, she wanted me to have it.
It's the only thing I have left from her.
- Maybe not.
- What does that mean?
- Morgan: Hold up.
- What?
- Athena: What is it?
- Eyes and ears.
Morgan: Athena, wait right there.
Athena: Why is there a car here?
Morgan: Remember those people I told you about?
The ones who att*cked us just before you were born?
They used to leave messages like that.
