Carol: I wish we had more to show for our trip.
With all the new mouths to feed, too.
You'll make it work.
You always do.
You're not coming back with me.
Gonna stay out a little while longer.
Keep looking.
[Dog pants]
You want a ride?
My bike's just up further.
No, I'm good.
J'j'
j'j'
hey, um —...
You don't have to apologize. I'm good, really.
J'j'
I was just gonna say good luck.
J'j'
[clicks tongue]
J'j'
good luck to you, too.
Thanks.

Come on, boy.
Let's get you home.
J'j'
j'j'
alright. In you go.
Oh. Smells like Daryl.
J'j'
j'j'
can you lay down?
J'j'
[dog lapping water]
J'j'
for the record...
I didn't need an apology from him.
I know he meant what he said.
An apology's just a truce.
It...
Doesn't fix anything.
J'j'
nope.
[Dog whines]
But belly rubs do.
Yes, belly rubs do.
[Indistinct conversations]
I was thinking I'd work on the north gate post today,
and if things work out, I would maybe get into, uh,
cleaning the dead fish out of the fishery.
Hey, dude.
Hi, Jerry.
Rosita's already got a crew working on the guard post,
and the fishery got cleaned up while you were out.
Doesn't smell like it.
[Sighs] Stinky fish make killer fertilizer.
How was your trip with Daryl?
Fine. What about you?
You... you need help?
Nah, I got it.
I'm sure there are better uses of your time.
Yeah.
Yeah. I'll figure something out.
What's that you got there?
Oh, this? Uh...
I found it in the street.
Somebody must have dropped it during the evacuation.
-Oh, okay. —I don't know.
I thought I'd, uh, try to get the stains out of it,
maybe mend this little...
Rip.
[Scoffs] I don't know.
I don't know. Somebody loved it.
And I just want to fix something.
Why not?
Yeah.
Sure.
Jerry...
Tell me how I can help out, please.
Anything.
Anything at all.
Okay.
I'm thinking.
[Stomach growls]
I think food is important to thinking.
[Chuckles]
Um...
Great!
I'm sure I can whip up something from what I found.
Yeah? —yeah!
Thanks, Jerry.
Uh, one thing.
A bunch of Maggie's people
are crashed in Michonne's kitchen, so...
Not a problem.
There's a hotpot in the pantry.
Uh, yeah, I forgot.
The solar panels are all messed up, so...
The whisperers, probably, so no juice.
And we had to throw out a bunch of grain.
Why is that?
Rats.
Anything else?
What are you gonna make?
I don't know.
Maybe some soup.
Ahh...
Yeah.
Got a couple fish.
Some nuts and mushrooms.
I'll make it work.
You always do.
Did you ever hear the story of stone soup?
Yeah, they used to teach it to us in school.
There was this hungry stranger that came to a village,
but he didn't have anything to trade for food
except for a big rock.
So he convinced all the villagers
to try his world—famous stone soup.
But before that, he tells one person,
"hey, I'm gonna have to borrow some salt."
Then he tells another person,
"just gonna need a little bit of onion."
And little by little,
a little bit of this, little bit of that
from everyone in the village...
Until he has a real soup.
And everyone's happy.
Didn't sound very tasty.
Maybe Ezekiel and the others will bring help soon and...
You won't have to make a soup out of rocks.
I hope so, too.
This can be saved.

You take it easy.
[Sighing] Oh, man.
Hmm.
[Dog whines]
I know. I know. It's okay, buddy.
It's just a rat.

I know. I hear it, too.
I hear it, too.
[Scratching continues] —hey, hey. No.
No! No!
No! Dog!
Dog, get back here!
No! No! Bad dog!
Bad dog! Go!
[Dog panting]
Don't look at me like that.
No, this is serious. We need that food!
Go!

How's that soup coming?
Great. Great.
Just need a couple more ingredients.
Gonna go see what I can rustle up out there.
You gonna rustle up some stones, too?

Yeah.
There'll be more sun tomorrow.
Right, buddy?

[Carol sighs]
Come on.
[Door creaks]
[Whines]
Come on.
That's bold.
[Sighs]
You're lucky all the fight's gone out of me.
J'j'
you miss him, don't you?
Mm.
Don't worry.
He'll come back.
He always comes back.
J'j'
I don't, though. Do I?
Yeah, I know.
J'j'
what do you think?
You think I should scram?
Just get out of everybody's hair?
J'j'
I could.
J'j'
[softly] Yeah.
I miss him, too.

[Knocks on door]
Oh, hey.
It's fine. I'm fixing it.
What's up?
The cover story was gonna be that I was coming by for soup.
But I'm not the best poker player.
Poker?
As in, I have... no pokerface.
So, I'm just gonna fess up.
I'm just checkin' on you.
You think I need checking on?
I do.
If Ezekiel were here, he'd agree with me.
Can't argue with that, then.
I wish I could check in on him, too.
Yeah, I'm sure he's on his way back here
as fast as he can with the others.
You know, probably just so he can check in on people
almost as much as you do.
You know, it's pathological.
Can't you just let people like me suffer in peace?
Yeah, caring...
It's a real problem.
Yesterday...
It wasn't my best day.
It was a bad day.
J'j'
is that why the wall in there is all busted up?
[Chuckles] Guess so.
You know, Ezekiel would have a saying
for this kind of thing.
He has some good ones filed away.
I don't know.
Maybe I don't need a saying.
Maybe I just need to fix what I broke.
Here's one...
"A friend is someone who thinks you're perfect
even if everyone else thinks you're broken."
J'j'
I didn't even tell you why I had a bad day yesterday.
I just noticed that Daryl didn't come back with you.
Two plus two equals Eureka, you know?
J'j'
what if you really are broken?
What if your best friend just realized it
a whole lot later than everyone else did?
Ezekiel probably has a saying for that, too.
I just don't know what it is.
[Voice breaking] What would you say?
[Amateur blonde's "no worries" plays]
[Sighs]
J'j'
-j' oh, oh, oh j' -[Squeaking]
J' oh, oh, oh j'
was that...?
Yeah.
J' oh, oh, oh j'
why don't you come on in?
Soup's almost ready.
J'ohj'
j' you made your bed j'
j' now just sleep in it I
j' dreams will cut the words out j'
j' I grind my teeth I
j' grind my teeth to chalk j'
j' finding words to say to you j'
j'j'
j' any fool j'
j' fool can carry on with grand delusions j'
j' any dog j'
j' dog like me could find j' —I'm sorry.
J' the best way through the fence j'
j' you just don't think about the time I
- [dog barks] - J' oh, oh, oh j'
[chuckling] Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!
J' oh, oh, oh j'
what the hell happened to you?
Was gonna ask you the same thing.
You know, the usual.
Yeah.
Same.
Did you find anything?
Yeah, yeah.
How was he? Was he good?
Mm—hmm.
He was.
J'j'
you hungry? I made some soup for everyone.
Nah, I'm all right.
Thank you, though.
Yeah. Sure.
J'j'
oh, um...
Forgot to give this back to you.
J'j'
you can keep it.
Really?
J'j'
well... I'm kinda beat.
I'm gonna hit the sack, alright?
Yeah, me too.
Come on.
