Yale confronts a mute girl suspected of controlling zombies after she wanders outside alone. He tests her ability by whistling, which surprisingly commands the zombies to obey, confirming her powers. Despite being rumored as bitten, Yale denies the claim and decides to return to settle scores with Tim, who spread lies about him. The girl insists on joining Yale, and he agrees, preferring to keep her safe rather than let others exploit her abilities. As they prepare to leave together, Yale instructs her to stay close, setting the stage for their next move amid growing danger.
