Eugene and Max separate from each other in the crowd, and Daryl brings Eugene to a house to hide him. Pamela orders Mercer to arrest Eugene and bring his friends for interrogation, and leaves Sebastian's body trapped in the morgue. When he reanimates, she asks a soldier to take care of him. Meanwhile, Aaron, Lydia, Jerry and Elijah head to Oceanside with a wagon full of supplies but they stumble upon a herd of walkers. Aaron asks them to go offroad, instead of waiting, as suggested by Jerry. However, the wagon gets stuck, and Jerry injures his knee trying to push and release the wagon. They see a large real estate and decide to stay there for the night. During the night, they see walkers inside the walls, and Aaron believes there are whisperers in the herd. But then he realizes that they are a new breed capable to climb walls and open doors. Rosita is interrogated by Mercer and then she goes to the church, where Daryl and Eugene are hidden. Pamela goes to the jail, where Hornsby is, and locks Sebastian, restrained by chains, with him. She also brings the corpse of Calhoun, gives a machete to Hornsby, and asks him to feed Sebastian. Eugene decides to turn himself in and say that he worked alone.
"Variant" is an episode of "The Walking Dead", where a new breed of walkers, capable to move faster, climb walls and open doors is introduced. Funny, since having only a few episodes left, this modification in the evolution of the zombies. Are they evolving after at least eleven years? Eugene jeopardized his friends, with his stupid attitude, and the possibility of a new life, including school for the children. The fate of Hornsby is not good, and it will be hard for him to survive. My vote is six.
