WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
The domestic gooey goodness continues with Warren and Cooper. They are cozy and fireside and both very appreciative of each other and what they have together. What could possibly go wrong?

Doc and co. arrive in Altura. It's the "longest-running zombie-free outpost in all of North America," and it looks pretty great. There are lots of people walking around -- plus some familiar faces. This should be interesting... Just as soon as they pass the health inspection!

Having successfullly tracked Warren to the farmhouse, Murphy surprises -- and is then surprised by -- her new, close friend, Cooper. Murphy gives a pretty solid description of Warren. He's looking for her. Cooper says he'll take him right to her -- and instead knocks Murphy unconscious. Hmmm... Maybe he's not the perfect guy after all?

Warren wonders what's taking Cooper so long to get more firewood, and soon discovers he was sidetracked by attacking Murphy, tying him up and locking him in the trunk. That's not great for trust in a new relationship. Warren has no time for Cooper's creepy-possessive kill-your-friend-so-you'll-stay-with-me vibe, and instead clobbers him over the head. The romance is over. Will we see Cooper again? Unclear, since some Zs were headed his way as Warren and Murphy left the farm for Newmerica.

Operaton Bitemark is almost complete, as Warren and Murphy make it to Newmerica with one of the last groups of survivors and are quickly greeted by Doc, 10K and Lily.

Warren and George are introduced as they enter Altura. A pause, and then big smiles. Turns out, these two go way back. Flashback to a time before, during Black Summer, when Warren saves George's life (when she was" Georgia," and a scared college student). And then Georgia saves Warren in return. It's a warm reunion for these two kick-ass Z fighters.

George introduced Warren to Roman Estes, the CEO of Altura and the reason they have water and power. Warren is skeptical about another evil genius running things, but George assures her he is not evil. Warren quickly spots his Zona bar code, but he says he got out early because he disagreed with their goals. Sketchy start....

The reunions continue. The latest one up Citizen Z. He's doing a livestream in an Alturan bar when Doc and 10K show up. The gang's all here!
405095
Pandora talks to fellow Altura resident, Dante. She calls George "his human" and accuses him of being too "living." It seems there are some issues amongst the undead citizens of Altura. Also - can we talk about that amazing and creepy half-face mask? Love it!
405096
Another OG Bitemark crew is here -- as Doc spotted Red -- hooray! With another guy and a kid. Boo! How to tell 10K? In a mad rush over drinks, of course. Soon 10K spots her himself -- he nervously goes to talk to her, then freaks out when a guy with a baby walks up. So then 10K retreats and then it's Red's turn to go find him. The guy with the baby? Not a boyfriend, but a friend. And the baby isn't hers. Red and 10K -- together again! Sorry, Lily! Though maybe she's ok with it? Lily did encourage him to talk to Red, so...

After voting for whether or not to found a Newmerica with talkers and humans, Ramon Estes excitedly invites George to read the results. There's a buzz about a new society about to be formed. The crowd calls for George to hit the stage and read the results. Everyone seems confident that a "Yes" vote will win...

Ramon walks to George, hands her the votes, and as she says "Wish me luck," the podium where Estes was just standing explodes. OMG! Sabotage! Cliffhanger! Need next episode NOW!
