Tales of the Walking Dead: Season 1 episode 5 plot explored

Recap of Season 1 episode 4

Tales of the Walking Dead episode 4, titled Amy; Dr. Everett, kicks off with the introduction of Dr. Everett, a naturalist, as he studies a number of walkers, especially one known as "Sample 21." During the process, he encounters a woman among the walkers as his investigation advances. Everett chooses to wait until Sample 21 attacks the woman before intervening despite her calls for rescue.

Although he saves her out of fear that she might harm the research subject, the tracking device gets destroyed in the process. The mysterious woman then introduces herself as Amy before asking Everett for assistance in locating her friends. A request that he very conveniently ignores.

Following the events, Amy visits Everett's hiding place but is unable to rejoin her gang without his assistance. The naturalist soon realizes that Amy's health is progressively deteriorating as she is consuming poisonous seeds for food. He hands her a potion that he concocted that might help her with the illness.

When Amy regains consciousness, Everett blames her for meddling with his study and is outraged over losing Sample 21. She is willing to direct him to his research subject but only on the condition that he assists her in reuniting with her group. They set off on their mutually beneficial trip together.
