  • Lee is bitten by a zombie at the end of the episode, some of his blood gets on Clementine's hat.
  • Lee has the option to cut off his arm or not, if he does it's quite bloody.

Kenny and Lee attempt helping her, by using a pole, but she slips and tumbles down again. Kenny jumps in, boosts her up, and is then surrounded by walkers. He fights through them with his last bullets, throwing them off of him, he manages to escape as he explains to Clementine how he did it.
  • Lee arrives in the Marsh House and he walks in the room curiously, only to have The Stranger appear behind him with a pistol drawn. The Stranger sits down with Lee and reveals the station wagon from Episode 2 belonged to him and his family. Whether or not Lee and Clementine looted it, his reaction is the same. It is revealed his son (Adam) went missing on a hunting trip. When he returned to the station wagon where his family stated, he and his wife (Tess) went back out but failed to find his son still. They returned, and Lee's group had stolen his supplies, effectively ruining his life as some of Lee's group had stated. His wife took their daughter (Elizabeth) and left, although he found them again one day later dead. His words and the presence of her wife's severed, reanimated head in the Stranger's bag indicate he may have found her after she had reanimated.
  • Lee and The Stranger begin a fierce brawl, both trying to get the Stranger's gun which is knocked around the room. In the ensuing fight, either Clementine will shoot the Stranger, or Lee can choke him and if he kills him, has a choice of shooting him to prevent reanimation or not.
