Storyline

- TriviaAl says her SWAT truck is a CAT-2 MRAP. This stands for Category Two Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle. It is a vehicle designed in 2007 for the United States Military, it is heavily armored and designed to survive explosions from roadside IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices). The military uses it heavily in Iraq and Afghanistan, especially in areas where it is common for vehicle convoys to be ambushed. The armored plates and windows are also designed to withstand multiple impacts from small and medium arms fire (handguns and rifles) as well as indirect IED explosions. They can be vulnerable to IEDs that explode directly under the chassis and are not totally protected against armor piercing rounds fired from extreme high-powered rifles such as the .338 Lapua Magnum and the .50 BMG.
- GoofsWhen the truck gets to the bottom of the hill, it does not land upright, it keeps rolling into the water, and the cab topper also comes flying off the truck and into the water (very obvious to see if you pause and scroll forward slowly) yet in the next shot, the truck is not only out of the water, it is perched at angle that is impossible due to the way it was rolling down the hill, and the cab topper is back in place.

The episode focuses on John Dorie and Strand as they embark on a dangerous mission to find a way out of a dire situation
John and Strand end up stranded on small island. John makes a raft in order to get to land and find Naomi and Charlie. Strand is disinterested believing that it is doomed to failure. A gator prevents them from swimming across and presents a hazard on the raft. Using a battery from a pickup truck they use the Walkers ad bait to keep the gator at bay. They get midway but the radio horn cuts out. Their boat gets attacked by the gator and quickly fills with water. Strand fires his gun to distract the walkers while they swim back to the island.
Meanwhile, Luciana searches for Charlie in a library but instead finds an old man named Clayton trapped in a car crash. After trying and failing to free him, he simply asks for a last request, one last beer. On the road, Luciana searches for beer everywhere but doesn't find anything. Suddenly, Luciana discovers the box Morgan had left on the road, with a beer left inside. Luciana returns to Clayton with the beer and he happily tells her he's glad she didn't give up. She asks what job he used to have and he tells her he drove trucks, before passing away in the car. She finds Morgan who has become aware of Martha's psychotic intents. As the look for the others, Martha chases them in Al's SWAT truck and opens fires the machine.
