Episode summary:

When Javier and his family accidentally cross paths with a rival group, a simple misunderstanding quickly spirals out of control. From there he meets Clementine through a chance encounter and the two travel together. Will Javi be able to reunite with his family?

Episode Trivia:

• Along with most of A New Frontier, this episode went through a ton of drastic story changes. Examples of these changes include: Lonnie being accidentally killed during the fight with Javi, Max getting stuck in a turnstile and devoured by a walker, and the town of Prescott having a system where they would hang people who had wronged them.
• As stated by Gavin Hammon (voice actor of Kenny), Kenny was originally going to die by drowning himself in a lake while singing a song. There is even official concept art of this scrapped scene which can be viewed in the Definitive Edition.
• While Javi and Clem are in the Prescott bar, a certain event that happens in the next episode is foreshadowed here. S3E2 Spoilers:
