Résumé de l'épisode 9
After the bus explosion, the group is in chaos. Bruce has been skewered and killed by a flying piece of debris and back at the bus, Wade and Emma have been caught in the fireball and instantly killed. Michelle is alive, but badly burnt. Now realizing the sick truth that they are likely being hunted and targeted by Mick, the survivors decide they are sitting ducks if they remain where they are. With water and food running out, they set their sights on a hill in the distance where a flock of birds could indicate water, and maybe civilization. Brian privately relays his concerns to Rebecca that Michelle’s burns are too grave to survive and that she is using up precious water and energy. Appalled, Rebecca refuses to acknowledge that Michelle can’t be saved and the group carries on. Meanwhile, the group is becoming dehydrated and realize that they have to return to the bus in search for Oskar’s pills that he left behind – without them, he’s in danger of a fatal heart attack. Brian and Rebecca volunteer to return to the camp, but as they return, Mick appears and the pair are forced into a terrifying game of cat and mouse to retrieve the pills and escape. While they are at the camp, Brian finds Johnny’s ear in Mick’s truck in a gruesome discovery, Rebecca steals Mick’s shotgun and Brian only just manages to talk her out of trying to shoot Mick. Brian adds sand to Mick’s fuel tank, hoping to disable the truck, putting distance between them and their predator. Returning to the others, they decide to keep walking towards the hill as a storm hits. Seeing headlights in the distance, the group is flung into turmoil as Steve and Kelly battle ferocious winds and disappear after the car, while the remainder of the group are forced to find shelter from the storm. While Oskar and Nina rest, both Brian and Rebecca acknowledge that Michelle is close to death. With supplies of food and water critically low, Brian makes the harrowing decision to euthanize Michelle.
