The Kingdom is doing its regular scheduled "offering" for the Saviors. Gavin, who is leading the Savior guards, complains that the count of cantaloupes is short. Ezekiel is confused, as he is certain they put the right number in the shipment. As an argument begins, Richard tries to calm the angry Saviors. Gavin, however, wants Richard to be shot as an example of what happens when Savior demands are not met. His guard Jared, however, instead aims at young Benjamin, a friend and apprentice of Morgan's. He shoots the boy in the leg.
Although the intention had been to simply wound Benjamin, the boy bleeds out and dies, in spite of emergency first aid assistance from Carol. Jared is chastised by Gavin, who feels that the man acted rashly.
As Morgan's reels from the trauma of the incident, he soon realizes that Richard had deliberately removed a cantaloupe, in order make Ezekiel see the Saviors true colors. It was Richard's intention to die, and become a martyr for the Kingdom.
The next day, another drop-off is made, this time of only the one missing cantaloupe. While the group watches, Morgan suddenly attacks and kills Richard. Morgan then explains what Richard had done. This returns trade relations to the status quo. The experience has shaken Morgan, however. He goes to visit Carol in her cottage, where he reveals to her what really happened to Glenn and Abraham.
