) and Eli are camping by candlelight in rural Kansas. The night sky ripples above them, the stars milky waves leaking into the blackness.

As Eli and Cornelia continue on, they talk about their past, including Cornelia’s skill with a bow and arrow, it having been a fashionable sport in England.

But somehow, it no longer matters. That it does not define them. Finally, Eli unveils some of his haunting past. He tells Cornelia that he once travelled that same road with his pregnant wife 15 years ago. Sadly, she passed away, though he was able to deliver his baby daughter, who succumbed to fever two years later. It was then that the army came and took him away to war.At the episode’s end, we see Cornelia settling up to prepare for her journey in which she intends to take the children back to their group.
