The children run off while the group is shocked to learn that Logan is actually Clayton's former partner who lured them as far away as possible so that he could take over their denim factory base. Althea investigates a strange walker wearing body armor, only to be captured by more of the man's group. As the rest of the group plans to retake the factory, Strand investigates a man on one of Althea's tapes who has a plane they can use to rescue their friends.

After encountering another roadblock warning of high radiation while searching for the missing Althea, Morgan encounters a woman named Grace while dispatching two walkers in a trap. She explains that due to a power plant meltdown the year before, there are over sixty radioactive walkers in the area. Simply getting close to the walkers risks survivors becoming contaminated, causing Morgan to permanently lose his contaminated staff. As the former manager of the plant, Grace blames herself for the deaths of her friends and is on a mission to find and eliminate the radioactive walkers, herself terminally ill with radiation sickness. John and June locate the campground where the children possibly came from, only to discover that the residents succumbed to radiation sickness. Grace sets out on her own to hunt down the rest, promising to keep in touch. At the same time, Victor tracks down Daniel, who helps him make contact with Luciana. Though convinced of the problem, Daniel refuses to lend his plane to Victor who he feels will only make things worse based on past experiences.

As they retrieve guns from the saloon during a dust storm, Dwight attacks, eventually revealing that he is searching for his missing wife, Sherry. Dwight's search has taken him from Virginia to Texas, following notes from Sherry who is on the run from "bad people". Dwight gets trapped by a herd while searching a car for the next clue, which turns out to be a dead end. June talks Dwight out of suicide and the three eliminate the herd together. Using his experience as a cop, John determines that Dwight was searching the wrong car and Sherry may still be out there. Dwight and Morgan are reunited for the first time since the war with the Saviors and put the past behind them. Dwight leads the group to the biggest walker roadblock yet, but they are interrupted by a call from Max.

Daniel reveals that he is angry at Strand not for being shot in the face, but for Strand lying to him about Ofelia, preventing Daniel from seeing his daughter alive again. Strand and the others rush to Daniel's rescue and Strand uses the plane to eliminate the herd, damaging the engines beyond repair. Daniel forgives Strand and gives the group use of his warehouse while he continues his mission. At the same time, Morgan and Alicia search for Althea and discover in the process that Max, Annie and Dylan are part of a larger group of kids, the children of the people who died of radiation sickness at a nearby camp. The kids lead them to the camp of the people who took Althea, only to witness the people fly away in a helicopter.

With Isabelle's helicopter out of fuel and only three days before another team is sent to the area, Althea helps Isabelle make a treacherous climb to get the needed supplies while revealing her own guilt over her brother's death when Althea chose to chase a story instead of staying with him. Isabelle reveals that her group is focusing on the future and rebuilding to the point that its mission is more important than anything and anyone. After Beckett went insane after witnessing the effects of the radiation from the melting down power plant, she was forced to kill him. Althea eventually leads Isabelle to the tape and destroys it, but Isabelle chooses not to kill her due to their mutual attraction. Isabelle leaves in the helicopter with the tape of Althea's brother's story, lying to her people about encountering anyone.

Grace contacts Morgan to reveal that the power plant's second reactor will soon meltdown. Grace and Morgan come up with a plan to use the truck stop's generator to delay the meltdown, but Grace does not believe it can be stopped completely and it will kill anyone left in the area when it happens. Rather than risk Morgan's life, Grace heads off on her own to try to buy them time. Dwight and John continue the search for Sherry. John finds a note from Sherry asking Dwight to give up the search, but keeps it a secret. After struggling to find a solution, Strand and Charlie arrive to help with the propellers from Daniel's plane using Jim Brauer's old hot air balloon.

John later proposes to June, who accepts. Alicia is decontaminated by Grace, but is left unsure of how much radiation she absorbed or its future effects on her health. Chased by a herd, Morgan, Grace and Alicia make it back to the plane in time to escape. With the help of Daniel, Sarah and Wendell are able to create a runway using Christmas lights. Despite a mishap with some walkers, the plane lands safely and Daniel and Alicia are reunited for the first time in years. At the same time, Logan's crew wrecks the denim factory in search of something without success, leading them to abandon Logan. Later, Morgan's group gets a call for help, but are intercepted by Logan, who seeks their help in finding an oil field Clayton had set up to deal with the problem of gasoline going bad.

Morgan tells a story where he and several others helped a woman, Tess, get medicine for her son and convinced them to leave their house for the first time since the outbreak. The tape concludes with everyone pleading with future survivors to help others in any way they can. It is then revealed that the tape is being watched by another survivor, Wes, who is at a gas station. He considers reaching out, but decides against it. As he prepares to leave, Logan's crew shows up and steals his gas before destroying his motorcycle. Logan tells Wes to call Morgan for help, and to let him know they are making more enemies than friends. Logan's crew leave Wes behind as a herd of walkers approach.

Alone at the mall, Morgan and Grace share details about their past lives and grow closer together. They find an Urgent Care center, but when they try to get in, a security alarm is triggered, drawing the attention of walkers. As Dwight returns to the caravan, he is captured by Rollie, a member of Logan's crew. Rollie taunts Dwight about Sherry, but Dwight quickly gets the upper hand. Rather than killing him, Dwight decides to free Rollie, but orders him to leave the area and never return. After fighting off the walkers, Morgan and Grace find Chuck on the roof, where he dies peacefully.

When Wes goes inside, gunshots are heard and an injured man runs out and steals their truck.

They pick up a distress call from Alicia and attempt to track down the injured man and the stolen truck, but their progress is halted by Logan's crew. Alicia, Strand and Wes escape the police station and track down the injured man. He attempts to strangle Wes, but Wes overpowers him and stabs him before asking where a manuscript is. The man tells Wes it's in his bag before dying. Alicia angrily questions why Wes would kill someone over a manuscript; Wes only says "people are people" before walking away.

That night, Logan's crew breaks into the bank and steals Althea's tapes, hoping to learn the location of the oil field.

Logan radios Clayton for help, but he doesn't answer. He makes a desperate attempt to rescue Serena, but arrives too late and she is devoured by walkers (it is revealed that Clayton was unable to help because Sarah and Wendell stole his truck during the hurricane). A distraught Logan is soon found by a group riding on horseback, led by a woman named Virginia. She says she has been watching him and shares his vision. In the present, Logan's crew arrive at the oil field and a standoff ensues, with Logan declaring they are taking all of the oil. The smoke and fire from the oil field attract countless walkers, forcing everyone to take shelter. A reluctant Sarah saves Logan's life as they hide in an office. Meanwhile, Alicia and Strand receive a call from a woman holed up in the same gas station Serena was. Logan, who is listening, encourages the woman to commit suicide, but she is rescued by Wes. Alicia and Strand arrive, but the woman says they need to leave before the people she ran away from show up. The next morning, the oil field walkers are dispatched and the standoff resumes. Logan appears to have a change of heart, but he and his crew are viciously gunned down by another group. Virginia arrives, and feels they can all help each other. Her offer is declined, and when it appears Virginia is about to have everyone killed, Luciana offers to stay behind to help make gas if everyone else can leave.

She appears to know nothing about the helicopter group and releases the two, urging them to join her cause.

Tom is reunited with his sister Janis, who turns out to be the woman rescued by Wes, and dedicates himself to helping create the documentary to show people the differences between the two factions. As the group tries to cross a damaged bridge, they are confronted by Virginia, who offers to help them cross, as well as information on the whereabouts of Sherry, if they join her. When no one steps forward, Virginia summons a herd of walkers to force their hand in needing her help. Most of the group makes it to safety, but Tom is killed when the bridge collapses, and the group also loses the oil tanker and most of their supplies.

Knowing Virginia is on her way, the group enjoys their remaining time together, as John and June are finally married. When Virginia arrives, she splits the group up amongst her various communities and gets a doctor to look at Grace, who is revealed to be pregnant and malnourished, not dying. Once everyone is gone, Virginia shoots Morgan and leaves him to die as walkers approach. Morgan broadcasts a message to his friends, encouraging them to "just live" as the walkers close in on him.
