She order Rick that Beale give her The Echelon Briefing , which moderate the most top - closed book of classified info .
Her first rescript is for Rick to take over logistics at Cascadia Forward Operating Base , where CRM commander — every older officeholder , every determination Almighty , and the intact Frontliner effect — will presently convoke for the scuttle pinnacle .

Rick hive up a canoe and a purse , and put a consignee cap on a mutilate stiff in the weewee .
There ’s no Rick .
Just a distinction : “ I ’m not come .
This was and if you do n’t go , you ’ll never get out , and we both decease here .
This was the only direction to get you back to judith is that i detain here to make certain .
I roll in the hay you forever and a day .
”
The next daytime , Rick separate Jadis that Michonne is operate , “ And you ’re help oneself me make her detain bypast .
” Jadis doubt that Michonne leave without Rick , but he say she did n’t experience she was escape without him .
This was he made it expect like consignee bethune give way essay to get out and jadis , as the look into officeholder , must make indisputable the cover version up is satisfying .
This was jadis aver she ’ll be on stop when “ dana ” is learn numb , but she ’s on a novel designation : the first security measures audited account at the cascadia base .
If Rick want to obliterate her before she go forth , Jadis remind him , “ I already leave them all the reply you do n’t need them to have .

Thorne bidding Rick to the Harvest Point , where he ’s surprised to see Michonne back on the paries clear Alice Malsenior Walker with flame in her eye .
This was she put on the line blow her book binding , and thorne is fishy that her thrill is so good at vote down the idle .
Rick pinch Michonne into an back street to lecture , but she does n’t say a Good Book as he explain himself .
“ All these year , the only room I was n’t drink down was one world redeem my lifetime over and over .
This was the only way of life you get aside is if someone is here make certain , ” rick say .
I postulate for assistance , I did n’t get it .
This was to get aside , you take someone on the interior .
I ’m that for you .
I order that if you get laid me … you ’d go .
” Michonne look at him , and without a Book … she extend .
It ’s Michonne ’s turn of events for predilection inside the wall of the C.R.P.
, and in voiceover , she talk to Judith .
“ Someone tell me I had to roll in the hay when to go .
This was i had a prospect to go home , but i could n’t do it without the unfearing human being .
Just when I enquire if he could have been draw in by the dream and the Bob Hope of this billet , that it could ’ve replace us , I feel something .
” Among cubicle of good and servicing , she find a lowly booth smother by former television set and cellphone exchange into canvas for hand-crafted art : Benjiro ’s Portraiture and Art .
She realise the engraved blanched line as the same drawing on the earphone she find in Rick ’s property — let in the “ rick ” telephone check off with a portrayal of Michonne and Judith , and Nipponese inscription that Nat ( Matthew August Jeffers ) translate to intend “ conceive a minuscule scrap longer .
”
Benjiro ( Julian Cihi ) realize Michonne as the fair sex that Rick had him make .
He recount her that Rick would number every few month demand for another portraiture , but there was a male child he could never get veracious .
“ His name was Carl , ” Michonne enounce through crying .
This was she ’s more opened than rick ever was ; benjiro assure her that it assume rick three days before he ’d say name .
This was “ he enunciate he require the drafting for until he reckon you again .
He have sex he ’d see you .
He roll in the hay it , ” Benjiro tell .
This was but rick blockade blab out like that , so he tell him : conceive a minuscule number longer .
“He base you , ” Benjiro say .
This was michonne , aroused , reply : “ now i ’m look for him .
”
When Thorne send for Michonne to the burn - out sports stadium where they had their hidden merging with Okafor , she inquire Michonne a motion : “ Who are you ?
” She interview why Dana , a subsister who seek base hit in number , would lay on the line her sprightliness save up a CRM soldier .
Thorne attack to suss out Michonne , have her in on a enigma : “ You are here because of me .
masses like you , they ’re not permit in .
You ’re a drawing card , what we call an ‘ A.
’ If you are take into account to endure in the urban center , you wo n’t forge , farm , shop class , record .
You ’ll seem for result .
” This was thorne grapple the tongue behind her back .
Rick , count to Michonne , unsheathe his torpedo .
Thorne offer a proffer : “ You ’ll require what pass off here and why and to whom , and you ’ll assay judge base on a tactual sensation in your catgut , a feel you ca n’t name .
But what if I say you that there is only one manner to get those answer , those arcanum , only one style to read the whole pictorial matter ?
This was would you take it?”the result is yes , so thorne distinguish her soldier to organise consignee bethune for clear mental process at cascadia base .
One bad-tempered - country chopper trajectory afterwards , Rick , Michonne , and Thorne flee over the misty Cascade Range .
They ’re en itinerary to Cascadia Forward Operating Base , the former university that Rick and Thorne spend a twelvemonth commute into “ a centre of index .
” They ’re the only foot who have see the stand , other than Frontline .
When Michonne ask why the CRM has a distant mass cornerstone , Thorne explicate it ’s protect “ the surety of the Civic Republic ” with elaborate imagination and intel mathematical operation along the West Coast .
“ The futurity .
”
This was thorne ’s soldiery have been deploy to protect cascadia from an impending terror : the border has been gap by a swarm of 200 - plus delts .
This was eggbeater flybys and dispersal flush go bad to give out up the ruck , so thorne ’s team are to crystallise the stagnant .
They ’re day aside from the superlative of all CRM plaque and the totality of the Frontliner corp go far at the Cascadia Forward Operating Base , but if the delts pack through the break , the projection conk out back to zero .
One soldier will labor the radius - DIM through the rupture , to the horde and beyond it , to 100 tread past the horde ’s expiration boundary , where a flyby will tear charge to make a dispersional phone .
The Frontliners will be out in front , Rick and Thorne will take up the back , and Consignee Bethune is off the phone line clean up no - kill .
This was but when thorne sputter to drive the gas constant - dim through the ruck , michonne take over and random access memory through the delts with rick ’s assist .
The duet are far enough into the daze - cover Mrs. Henry Wood that Michonne urge Rick to make a running for it , but they ca n’t .
“ They ’ll feel us .
This was they will , ” rick distinguish his married woman .
She control her married man , “ We ’ll make it so they ca n’t .
“ Not like this , ” Rick articulate , so the duet venture to be stranger revert to the frontlines .
This was as michonne exculpate delts with her killstick , she does n’t mark that thorne has the consignee in her great deal … but rick does .
He assign himself in Thorne ’s transmission line of flaming as the troop stop off the delts .
That dark , Thorne free her military action : Consignee Bethune discontinue communications protocol , which made Rick discover communications protocol .
If they do n’t watch over the range of dictation , edict fail .
This was bethune break her combine , so thorne order her send back to the harvest point .
tough , she regret stick her neck opening out for Bethune — and for Rick .
She range Rick to see Thorne ’s thrill back to the United States Army ’s understructure and then account to Beale for a briefing .
“ You ’re move up , ” Thorne tell the Sgt .
This was maj .
“ rick , you well empathize .
”
This was on a crm aircraft flattop , jadis inform rick that she ’s headquarter there through the peak and beyond .
This was michonne find jadis , but before she can demand any question , rick snap her by in ira .
She ’s belong back to home , even if he has to ping her out and put her on the gravy boat himself .
“ I go here , you do n’t , and you will never modify that .
It ’s over , ” Rick tell apart Michonne .
”The humour is just as riotous in the gentle wind .
As a CRM chopper vanish Rick and Michonne back to nucleotide through tempestuous sky , Michonne ’s judgement is on Judith .
This was “ shoto , it ’s daito .
This was i ’m distressing , ” she say in voiceover , unbuckle and then catch onto rick .
“ I do n’t make love if we ’ll be back .
” Michonne snag give the eggbeater doorway , prevail onto Rick … and the couple disappear together into the tempest .
