Nick awakens in a heroin den in an abandoned church, to find his girlfriend Gloria eating a corpse. While fleeing, he is hit by a car and hospitalized. The doctor tells Madison and Travis that Nick's claims about the incident are heroin hallucinations, but Travis believes Nick after visiting the church himself. Alicia becomes more worried about Nick's chemical dependency. The next day, school closes early due to the high levels of absenteeism and rumors of an epidemic. Nick escapes from the hospital and meets with Calvin, hoping to learn if the drugs Calvin sold him caused him to hallucinate in the church. Calvin tries to kill Nick to prevent him from exposing Calvin as a drug dealer. In the ensuing struggle, Calvin is mortally shot. After Travis and Madison arrive, the zombified Calvin attacks them. Nick runs over Calvin repeatedly with Travis' truck, and the three watch in disbelief as the mutilated Calvin is still able to turn his head towards them.

After the run-in with zombified Calvin, Nick, Madison, and Travis choose to flee to the desert, and they want Alicia, Liza, and Chris to follow. Alicia finds Matt ill in his disheveled house. Travis arrives and sees a bite on Matt, who convinces Alicia to leave. The group returns to Madison's home to gather supplies. Nick suffers from heroin withdrawal, so Madison drives to her school to get him Oxycodone. There she encounters Tobias scavenging food. A zombified Artie tries to bite Tobias, so Madison kills Artie and drives Tobias home. Chris’ bus is trapped in a traffic jam caused by a zombie shooting by the police. He films the event and joins in a protest against that and other recent fatal police shootings, when Travis and Liza meet up with him. A riot erupts after police shoot down another zombie, but the three Manawas find refuge with the Salazars in their gated barbershop-home. Travis tells Madison to take the kids to the desert without him; he will catch up. Alicia witnesses her zombified neighbor, Mr. Dawson, attacking Mrs. Cruz across the street, but Madison prevents her from intervening. The group inside the barbershop remains trapped, while the riot outside intensifies.
3	3	"The Dog"	Adam Davidson	Jack LoGiudice	September 13, 2015	7.19[7]
While a riot rages outside, a mob sets fire to the store adjoining the barbershop, forcing the Salazars and Manawas to flee. The group reaches Travis' truck and escapes, but not before Griselda is injured by a collapsing scaffold. They drive her to a hospital, but it is blocked by police due to zombie activity. The group drives at Madison's house, where Nick, Madison, and Alicia temporarily flee when the zombified Mr. Dawson attempts to enter, attracted by the barking dog Nick had let in. Nick leads Madison and Alicia to the Trans' house, where they take a shotgun but leave without the shells. Alicia returns to get them but must flee the zombified Susan. Travis' group reaches his and Madison's house. Daniel fatally shoots Dawson, who is attacking Travis. All three families decide to stay the night and evacuate in the morning. Nurse Liza tends to Griselda's injured foot but notes that Griselda will die if not treated by a doctor. Ofelia tells Daniel they should flee with Travis, but Daniel insists his family can survive alone and will join his cousin later. The next morning, as the Clarks and Manawas start driving away, the National Guard arrives and quarantines the block. While Travis says, "It's going to get better," Daniel laments that it’s, "too late," as he watches a guardsman mark the neighboring house.
4	4	"Not Fade Away"	Kari Skogland	Meaghan Oppenheimer	September 20, 2015	6.62[8]
Days after the National Guard quarantines the neighborhood into a Safe Zone, residents try to live normally. Tensions build under the military rule. Madison is stressed by extra work caused by her home's being overcrowded and Travis' new role as civilian liaison. Chris shows a video to Travis and Madison of a light signaling from the Dead Zone. Travis talks Doug into getting mental help. Liza medically helps neighbors. Nick steals morphine from Hector via IV drip. Ofelia kisses Adams, who was unable to get Griselda's medicine. Madison exchanges signals with the flashing light in the Dead Zone. She sneaks outside the fence to investigate and finds evidence that the guardsmen killed civilians, even the uninfected. Travis learns that Doug had been hospitalized over his mental issues. Dr. Exner determines that Liza is not a nurse. Daniel warns Madison of his El Salvador experience, when the sick were taken under the guise of receiving hospitalization but instead killed. Soldiers take Griselda and Nick to a hospital, but Nick's family protests his departure. Liza agrees to go to assist the medical team, despite not wanting to leave her son. Travis retreats to the roof and sees the signal from the Dead Zone. Seconds later, he sees and hears gunfire, followed by darkness.
5	5	"Cobalt"	Kari Skogland	David Wiener	September 27, 2015	6.66[9]
In a military cell, Strand torments Doug, who breaks down and is removed. Strand bribes a guardsman to save feverish Nick from being moved. Liza helps Dr. Exner with patients at the hospital. Ofelia hurls debris at the Safe Zone gate to protest the soldiers' taking Griselda. Adams calms her and takes her home. Chris is devastated that Liza left voluntarily to help at the hospital, but Travis promises to bring her back. Madison discovers Daniel detaining in the Trans' basement. Alicia and Chris get drunk in and vandalize the abandoned home of a wealthy family. Strand recruits Nick for an escape plot. Travis convinces Moyers' squad to take him to the hospital to check on his friends. While en route, Moyers encourages Travis to shoot a zombie, but Travis purposely misses her. The soldiers stop to assist another squad in a building infested by zombies, and most of those soldiers, including Moyers, are overcome. The few survivors flee and drop off Travis near the Safe Zone. Travis learns that Daniel tortured Adams into revealing what "Cobalt" means: in the morning, all civilians will be killed, and the guardsmen will evacuate the city. Griselda dies of septic shock at the hospital; Liza shoots her brain to prevent reanimation. Daniel visits a nearby sports arena to verify Adams' story that it was sealed with 2,000 now-zombified civilians inside.
6	6	"The Good Man"	Stefan Schwartz	Robert Kirkman & Dave Erickson	October 4, 2015	6.86[10]
With Cobalt about to initiate, the group prepares to evacuate the neighborhood as well as rescue Liza, Griselda, and Nick; Adams has agreed to be their guide. Adams privately warns Travis that Daniel will kill Adams when his usefulness has ended, and Travis decides to release him. They then proceed to the National Guard's headquarters. Daniel distracts the guards at the headquarters by leading a horde of walkers from the arena to the perimeter. Travis, Madison, Daniel, and Ofelia infiltrate the base, while Alicia and Chris stay behind with their vehicles. Inside the base, Strand and Nick initiate their escape plan, with Strand callously leaving the other detainees behind. Meanwhile, the walkers manage to breach the perimeter defenses and begin to swarm the base. Travis' group comes across the holding cells and sets the detainees free before reuniting with Nick, Liza, and Strand. They try to escape through the medical ward, where they discover Dr. Exner has euthanized all of the patients. Dr. Exner tells them of an escape route before presumably committing suicide. Before they can escape, the group encounters Adams, who shoots Ofelia in the arm. Enraged, Travis brutally beats Adams and leaves him for dead. Strand leads the group to his oceanside mansion, where he reveals to Nick that he owns a yacht just off the coast called the Abigail, which he plans to escape on. On the beach, Liza reveals to Madison that she had been bitten during the escape. Liza pleads with Madison and Travis to euthanize her before she turns. Travis promises to protect Chris before shooting Liza. Afterwards, Madison tries to comfort Travis in his grief.

7	1	"Monster"	Adam Davidson	Dave Erickson	April 10, 2016	6.67[11]
The group evacuates to the Abigail as the military bombs Los Angeles in an attempt to contain the outbreak. Out at sea, they come across another boat full of survivors, but Strand refuses to pick them up. Strand informs the group they are heading to San Diego. Alicia mans the radio, only to hear distress calls and strikes up a conversation with another seaborne survivor named Jack. Travis notices Chris and Daniel bonding over their mutual loss. Madison becomes concerned at how Strand refuses to sleep, and Daniel tells her he is suspicious of his motives. Once they are far enough out to sea, the group holds a funeral for Liza and buries her at sea. However, Chris reacts violently and blames Travis for her death. Alicia learns from Jack that his boat is sinking and asks for help. Strand rejects the plan and threatens to throw overboard anyone who does not obey him. As the group prepares for dinner, Chris leaps overboard for a swim and Nick joins him, only to find walkers floating in the water from a capsized ship sunk by gunfire. Nick recovers the ship's logs, but Strand warns them that another ship is approaching them, most likely a hostile ship.
8	2	"We All Fall Down"	Adam Davidson	Story by: Brett C. Leonard & Kate Barnow Teleplay by: Kate Barnow	April 17, 2016	5.58[12]
In order to shake the pursuit of the unknown ship, the group decides to dock at a nearby island in order to hide. Daniel and Ofelia stay behind on the boat to keep an eye on Strand while Travis and the others investigate a house on the shore, which turns out to be inhabited by a man named George Geary and his wife Melissa and his children, Seth, Willa and Harry. George informs them that every major city on the west coast, including San Diego, has been burned down by the military, and the situation is no better inland. George also believes that the undead outbreak is nature's way of culling humanity, which troubles Travis. The next morning, Travis and his family help George with daily tasks, such as eliminating walkers that wash up on shore and building fences to keep them out. George's wife privately requests that Madison take her children with them when they leave the island. Madison relays to the request to Travis, who is reluctant to take them on. Meanwhile, Daniel breaks into Strand's quarters and finds a submachine gun and a map leading to Strand's true destination: Mexico. Nick then warns Travis and Madison that he suspects George is planning to poison his entire family as part of a suicide pact. Travis and Madison try to take George's two younger children but one of them prematurely ingests some of the poison and turns, killing their mother. The group tries to flee with the remaining child, but George's older son stops them and they are forced to leave the remains of George's family behind on the island.
