Episode Recap: A New Life

Warren and Cooper are keeping a cozy fire going in their new farmhouse life. It feels like a dream, which is why we know it can’t last long. And it doesn’t. Murphy shows up, and instead of inviting him in, Cooper decides to clobber him and locks him in the trunk of his car. When Warren finds out, she is not coaxed by Cooper’s fears of her leaving him, and instead clocks him, saves Murphy and puts Cooper in the trunk. Not sure what his fate will be, as there are zombies heading his way as Murphy and Warren leave for Newmerica. It’s reunion week for the gang, when Doc, 10K and Lily soon welcome Murphy and Warren to Altura. They are about to have a vote on whether or not to form Newmerica and create a new democracy of survivors – including zombie “talkers” along with the humans. Who else is in Altura? Citizen Z! And – OMG – Red! Who has a confusing, then lovely, reunion with 10K. (Sorry, Lily.) George – who knew Warren back during Black Summer – is fighting hard for a new society. She is encouraging everyone to vote and is clearly excited about the future. The “CEO” of the town, Ramon Estes, hands her the results of the vote to read on the podium. Will the potential democracy vote “yes?” The room of Alturans is giddy with excitement, and as George begins to walk to the podium – BOOM! There's an explosion. Sabotage? There were some suspicious zombies walking around (especially that mysterious, half-face lady, Pandora….) And we still don’t know the results of the vote. Cliffhanger!
