The group continues to search for another place in which to settle down. They are despondent, and dealing with grief, PTSD, hunger, and thirst.

They come across bottles of water on the road, ones that were supposedly left specifically for them. They are suspicious of the offer, though, and refuse to take the water. They soon find a barn to shelter themselves from an approaching storm. As they rest, they are soon awakened by the sound of walkers trying to break in. Each group member eventually lends a hand to help keep the barn door shut.

The next morning, Maggie and Sasha sit on a downed tree, as they watch a sunrise and converse. Their talk is interrupted by a man named Aaron, who asks to meet the man in charge. He then surprises them by referring specifically to Rick.

"Them" is a harrowing and introspective episode that not only deepens the group's struggles with grief and loss but also explores the theme of survival. As the group faces dehydration and starvation on the road to Alexandria, they are forced to confront their own mortality and the harsh realities of life in a post-apocalyptic world.

The episode's exploration of resilience and perseverance adds emotional depth to the characters' experiences and underscores their determination to survive against all odds. Additionally, the episode's ending, where the group finds temporary shelter in a barn and shares a moment of bonding and solidarity, highlights the strength of their bond and their shared commitment to each other. Overall, "Them" is a powerful episode that showcases the characters' resilience and their willingness to endure unimaginable hardships in order to survive.
