Chapter 5: A Storm is Brewing[]

Norma appears outside the house, Michonne meeting her, pistol in hand. She talks with Michonne about a trade offer, revealing Pete (Determinant) and the rest of her friends as well. She proposes they trade, Randall for her friends. As a way of showing she is genuine, she frees Pete straight away or fires a flare to reveal the crew to Michonne. (Determinant)

The two parties debate the trade, Michonne having Sam show a bag covered Randall to show/feign he's alive. As they talk, Jonas or Gabby (Determinant) express anger and a desire for retribution for what happened at Monroe. Norma tries to calm them to no avail; they kill Berto, creating a panic in the debate. Norma apologizes for their actions, trying to calm the situation. However, Walkers heard the gunshot and begin to approach the group. The exchange can take various forms:

Randall is alive, Michonne makes the trade: Michonne removes the bag off of Randall, enraging Norma upon seeing how heavily beaten he is. Regardless, Norma allows Oak and Siddiq to be freed, the pair hiding behind the gate. Randall is shoved to Norma, the women cutting him free of his bindings as more Walkers appear. Once freed, Randall charges at Michonne and tackles her. In self defense, Michonne or Sam (Determinant) kills him. Norma is deeply angered, ordering her group to attack them.

Randall is a Walker, Michonne makes the trade: Michonne leaves the bag on Randall's head, shoving him towards Norma. Norma allows Oak and Siddiq to be returned. As she removes the bag from Randall's head, she realizes he is a walker. She puts him down, quickly ordering her group to attack Michonne and the others.

Randall is a Walker/alive, Michonne does not make the trade: Due to the growing tensions, Michonne calls the trade off. Angered, Norma shoots Oak in the stomach, causing Pete to instinctively shoot Jonas dead. In the commotion, Randall tries to break free from Sam or is thrown forward (Determinant), promptly shot by her. Norma goes to attack but is kicked down by Oak. Siddiq makes it inside as Norma orders her group attack.

Randall is a Walker/alive, Michonne signals Paige: Michonne seizes the moment, signaling Paige to kill Norma. She takes a shot, successfully hitting Norma in the shoulder. Her companions are shocked at the attempted killing, shooting at the group and killing Oak in the process. The scene now plays out as if the player verbally refused to trade.

Chapter 6: Hell Hath No Fury[]

Norma and her group break down the barricaded door, invading the house with Walkers in hot pursuit. Michonne defends the area from Walkers and humans alike, shooting several down as she retreats to the house. Before she does so, Norma charges towards Michonne, the two engaging in a bloodied fist fight. If Zachery is still alive, he intervenes, trying to stop Norma only to be shot dead by the women. (Determinant) Norma then gains an advantage, drowning Michonne in a pool of water. However, Michonne reaches for her machete, successfully using it to force Norma off and amputates her right arm off. As the women screams in pain, walkers approach and begin to devour her.

Shoot Norma: Michonne picks up a pistol and proceeds to mercy kill Norma, sparing her a gruesome death.

Do nothing/Abandon Norma: Michonne watches as Norma is mercilessly bitten to death, screaming in sheer pain. Michonne dismisses her screams, retreating to the house.

Michonne reaches the house, watching as the others barricade the door and prepare to make a stand. The children run downstairs, as does Paige, quickly comforted by Sam. Just as the group decide what to do next, they come under siege from the Monroe group, the survivors bring met with a barrage of molotovs being thrown in through the windows. Michonne shoots at one in an effort to stop them to no avail.

As the house quickly becomes engulfed in flames, the group becomes separated, Michonne being forced to retreat to the kitchen.

Impacts[]

This list shows the narrative consequences affected by choices from the previous episodes.

• Zachary will appear in this episode if Michonne stopped Samantha from killing him in the first episode.
• Randall will appear either zombified or alive depending on if Michonne killed him or spared him.
• If Randall is alive, he will criticize Michonne for burning down Monroe, having harmed the family and children. One of her responses differs depending on whether she and Pete entered the Mobjack via the ladder or the window in the first episode, having discovered the executed children or not.
  • If they entered via the ladder, Michonne has the option to simply tell Randall to quit talking.
  • If they entered via the window, Michonne can counter-argue Randall's point, having known that he murdered the children of the Mobjack, but he will justify his actions by saying that the adults attacked Monroe first.
• Pete will be a hostage if he was left at Monroe.
• Pete will still conserve his earring in his ear depending of what Michonne said.
• Like in previous episode, one of the three illusory toys that appeared in the first episode, will reappear on a flashback depending in which Michonne focused.

Goofs/Errors[]

• Norma will know that Michonne has Randall, even if she managed to deceive her in the previous episode by making him talk to her.
• During the trade scene, when Randall speaks with the bag over his head his voice sounds muffled as if he has been gagged, but when the bag is taken off his head it shows he has nothing in his mouth and he is shown to be able to speak clearly with the bag over his head in early scenes at the house whilst on the chair.
• If Michonne takes the bag off a zombified Randall's head and then shoves him towards Norma, Norma kills him instantly by shooting him in the chest. Shooting a zombie in the chest wouldn't be able to put them down, so it would make more sense for her to shoot him in the head.
• If Randall still alive and delivered to Norma just to rush to Michonne when he is free, his hands look intact, clean and healthy, even after being crushed in a vice.
• On Sam's passport, her date of birth is listed as 1993. Since the game takes place in 2005, this would make her 12 years old. Since she was confirmed to be 22 years old, her passport should list her date of birth as 1983.
• If the player chooses a certain dialogue option after Gabby/Jonas shoots Berto, Gabby's death scene is not shown, but her body can still be seen. This is the same case for Jonas.
