What is the ending?

Short Summary

The episode ends with the group separated at the coast. Gus, Jepperd, and Singh successfully escape on a boat, while Wendy and Becky are left behind and pursued by Rosie and her pack of wolf-boys. Becky fights off one of the pack members but is knocked unconscious by Rosie, leaving their fate uncertain.

Expanded Narrative

The episode opens one hundred thirty-five days after the government has fallen. We are introduced to Rosie Zhang in a solitary caravan, where she is with her children. Rosie never wanted to be a mother and had dreams of being an artist, but life intervened and she gave up everything for her children. She rewrites the story of the Three Little Pigs for them, reframing the wolf as a misunderstood creature and the pigs as the villains, suggesting her own worldview and justifications for her actions.

The group of Gus, Jepperd, Becky, Wendy, and Dr. Singh make their way toward the coast in search of a boat that will take them to Alaska. They discover that a ship is already there, but when they arrive, they find the boat has already left an hour prior. At the coast, they encounter a survivor named Coral, who informs them that the ship is packed to the brim with people and there is no way they would be able to secure passage even if they attempted to swim out to it. Gus manages to convince Coral to help them despite this dire situation.

The group attempts to construct their own boat to pursue the departing vessel. Their makeshift boat actually functions and allows them to set out after the larger ship. However, their journey is interrupted when Rosie and her pack arrive at the coastline. Shots are fired at the group, and in the chaos, Jepperd is shot in the leg. Wendy and Becky become separated from the others and are left behind.

Rosie refuses to communicate with Jang and instead orders Tex to leave and return home. She decides that she and the pack will remain at the coast for the time being, suggesting that something about this location or the situation has triggered her memory or resolve.

As the episode concludes, Wendy and Becky decide to stay together and attempt to find their family. The pack closes in on them. Becky fights back against one of the wolf-boys and manages to stab it in the side. She tells Wendy to leave and escape. As Wendy attempts to flee, Rosie catches up to her. Rosie knocks Becky unconscious while simultaneously trying to save her own son. At the same moment, Gus, Jepperd, and Singh successfully make it to their ship and escape, leaving Becky and Wendy's fates unresolved as the episode ends.
