Morgan, Grace, and Dwight hear a guy named Chuck calling out over the radio.
The trio arrive at the Bridgeview Mall, which brings up certain feelings for both Morgan and Grace.
Shes not sure whats wrong with her and thats what scares her.

It could be radiation poisoning, it could be a cold.
Thank god she doesnt have access to WebMD.
Chuck left an iPod with a note for Grace.
Morgan, once again, finds himself plagued by thoughts of his son, Duane.
Sure, grief is a cycle of trauma.
And everyone reacts to grief differently.
For Morgan, in the way his story plays out, this particular way doesnt make for compelling television.
Theres nothing more to learn here.
This story arc has been tapped out.
Like, maybe it could be a good place for everyone to settle down.
June was just saying last episode how she wants to find a home for all the people theyre helping.
I guess beggarscanbe choosers.
Were not doing careful, were doing right is the motto of this episode.
Morgan and Grace decide to go down into the walker den to get to an Urgent Care.
Grace hopes itll have an ultrasound machine to see exactly whats wrong with her.
Dwight and Morgan had discussed what would happen if Logans group caught up to them at the mall.
Seems more dumb than careless, especially when there are people depending on Dwight.
(This pathway was blocked off before by walkers, but its not now.
Best not think too much about it.)
But the grate is stuck and when they finally release it, an alarm goes off.
Theyre able to retreat to the security office after some walkers follow them up the escalator.
There, they turn off the alarms and see Chuck is still alive on the security cameras.
He made it to the roof, hoping to look at the stars before he dies.
But its a foggy night.
Grace brings him a turtle nightlight that projects the stars on top of a wooden awning above them.
They bury Chuck out in front of the mall.
With the walkers now cleared, they head back to Urgent Care, but Grace doesnt want to know.
Imagine anyone actually taking this approach to something as serious as a potential cancer scare.
Before they go out to greet the arriving caravan, she and Morgan ride the malls carousel.
It reminds Grace of reasons to live, but it reignites all of Morgans issues with losing his son.
The caravan stocks up and decides to park for the night at a nearby ranch.
Morgan isnt going with them.
you could probably guess how that future episode will play out.
