In any case, she finds the person and its someone weve already met.
Of course, meeting him doesnt do for Alicia what she thinks its gonna do.
If only anyone couldve foreseen that coming.

She and Victor have been looking for this guy for some time before they finally encounter Wes.
He radios them over the walkie for help transporting his broken bike.
He thought he could push it back himself, but he needed help after all.
Wes mentions a brother waiting back for him at their base, but he doesnt have one.
He died when the outbreak started; he went out for condensed milk and didnt come back alive.
He also jacks their car and drives off as the noise draw in the surrounding dead.
Wes grabs bags of riot gear so they can defend themselves, but it makes it more difficult.
Victor inadvertently fires a tear gas launcher and the container gets stuck in the side of a walker.
He gets blinded trying to subdue the dead while smoke attacks his eyes.
Finally, they are all safely inside the station, but the dead have barred most of the exits.
Wes doesnt come off as the guy who would spread positivity on trees across the land.
Hes set in his thinking of people are people and will always screw each other over to survive.
Sounds familiar, right?
And then that becomes the case.
Morgan, meanwhile, is back in his old slump.
He follows Al to a bank where she once interviewed its old manager.
She hopes someone will find them should anything happen to them.
The priority is now helping the guy Wes shot because they cant let someone die.
They threaten but not really; they dont raise their guns or anything like that.
Does Logan need them alive or something?
Its such a strange kind of situation.
Logan mentions Morgans wife and son in the sense that helping all these people wont help Morgan help them.
And then Logans group just lets them go to find a way around the rig.
As I said, its strange.
Alicia is able to break through to Wes, who admits what really happened to his brother.
He eventually agrees to help and clears out the dead so Alicia doesnt have to kill anything.
They finally catch up with the man.
The drivers seat of the car is stained with blood and hes seen hobbling forward in the distance.
The thing Wes was after was his manuscript, a book he wrote.
But he leaves it behind with the man he killed.
He admits Alicia was right, but he doesnt need right at the moment and walks off.
After Morgan and Al catch up, they all bury the man in the ground.
Alicia flips through Wes pages and sees a dedication to his brother Derek.
The final page features a familiar line: If youre reading this, youre still here.
She decides to stop looking to other people to fix her and will instead fix herself.
Hes scared if he lets go of his pain, hell let go of the good things, too.
Al agrees to help him keep the good and purge the bad by shocker recording his story on camera.
But now, theres a bigger problem.
Logan breaks into Als safe looking for Polar Bears journal.
He finds her tapes instead and hopes one of them will contain the location of the oil fields.
Same stuff, different scenario.
