Opening

The first thing we did was angle our way toward that corpse.

Summary

Rebecca W's corpse: naked, stripped of everything but an apple core, a gunshot wound through a moth tattoo, Killed by Crawler Frank Q. Carl thinks of his father — 'You're a bully and nobody likes you' — for no reason he can name, and then decides he wants to find the man with the gun.

Donut, who a page earlier declared no imbecile with a gun scared her, now thinks he is being Charles Bronson and wants to stay away. Their first tactical disagreement, settled by hunting the neighbourhood's rats until the premiere.
