BRAY and TRUDY have been voted out of the tribe, but it seems TRUDY’s contractions have started, prompting LEX to suspect a con. Throughout the day, while TRUDY’s labor drags on, DAL volunteers to venture into the city to find supplies for the baby, CLOE secretly feeds and plays with the calf, and PASTY and PAUL continue to blackmail JACK for food from is secret store.

BRAY explains that he’s been spying on the tribe to make sure the mall is a safe place to bring TRUDY to have her baby— but should she be allowed to stay? Meanwhile, CLOE finds a new four legged friend that’s been chased through the streets by the locusts, and PATSY and PAUL discover JACK’s secret stash of food.

A mysterious figure watches the group at the mall as AMBER informs DAL that they can’t abandon the others. The group decides to form a new tribe of their own, make their home in the mall and, on sharing supplies and resources, forge a safer future. But what to do with the prisoners? With little choice, AMBER offers LEX, RYAN, and ZANDRA, the opportunity to join the tribe on the group’s terms.
