- Andrea explains everything to Dale who cracks up at the part when Rick revealed he wasn't alone. Rick enters with Carl, Dale asks to speak to him alone so Andrea leaves with Carl. Rick asks him whats on his mind and Dale thanks him for everything he has done and for being the 'leader', even when he didn't want to be. He admits he thought Rick was dangerous not too long ago (see day 409) and admits he thought wrong. A lot of people have died, but a lot are still here and Dale is thankful to Rick for giving him all his time with the boys and Andrea.
