Chapter 3: In Your Charge | Episode I: A New Day The Walking Dead Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The chapter will begin with a conversation with Clementine.

1. "Did you kill it?"

(1): I don't know. I think so.	Clementine will remember that.
(2): Something else did.	Clementine will remember that.
(3): Yes.	Clementine will remember that.
(4): ...	Clementine seems afraid.

The further Lee and Clementine's plan of what to do next depends on the second answer. The first answer means waiting till the sun comes down, while the second means getting out of the town instantly. The differences are shown below.

2. "What do we do now?"

(1): Look for help, before it gets dark	Escaping before the sunset.
(2): Get out of here once the sun goes down.	Escaping after the sunset.

Escaping before the sunset

Get off the porch. If you have already searched the place, the only thing you can do now is to go straight to the Gate (in the meantime, there will be a brief cutscene) and open it. Clementine will ask you a question just before you open the gate, but it does not matter what you answer.

When the gate is open, you will be greeted by Chet and Shawn Greene. After a while, you will need to tell them exactly who you are to Clementine. If you say nothing, Shawn will think that you are just a good person. If you lie, Shawn's father - Hershel Greene - will point that out in the next chapter.

3a. "I'm not her dad. I'm..."

(1): ...just some guy.	Shawn noticed what you said.
(2): ...her babysitter.	Shawn thinks you're the babysitter now.
(3): ...a neighbor.	Shawn noticed what you said.
(4): ...	Shawn drew his own conclusion.

[PANIC EVENT: START]

There is no time to lose! Zombies are beginning to surround you. But running away will not be a big problem - simply push the car out of the way with Shawn's help, and then also with Clementine's, and then you can all get in the car and drive away safely (see the "Summary" section now).

[PANIC EVENT: END]

Escaping after the sunset

Get off the porch. If you have already searched the place, the only thing you can do now is to go straight to the Gate (in the meantime, there will be a brief cutscene) and open it. When you are on the street, go left and keep going till you hear some gunshots. Clementine will ask you a question:

3b. "Are we going to die?"

(1): They're after me, not you.	-
(2): I don't know.	-
(3): No.	You helped Clementine calm down a little.
(4): ...	Clementine is really upset now.

You have to give a reply to the police officer if you want to make the story go forward. It is worth noting that if you choose "I'll come quietly!", the police officer will ask you an additional question (even though it does not matter what you'll answer). When the gate is open, you will be greeted by Chet and Shawn Greene. After a while, you will need to tell them exactly who you are to Clementine. If you say nothing, Shawn will think that you are just a good person. If you lie, Shawn's father - Hershel Greene - will point that out in the next chapter.

4b. "I'm not her dad. I'm..."

(1): ...just some guy.	Shawn noticed what you said.
(2): ...her babysitter.	Shawn thinks you're the babysitter now.
(3): ...a neighbor.	Shawn noticed what you said.
(4): ...	Shawn drew his own conclusion.

The further conversation will be taken over by Chet, who both Shawn and police officer are looking for. And Chet will no longer be human. Watch the whole cutscene and go to the "Summary" section.

Summary

To sum up, if you set off during the day, you'll come back with Shawn and Chet (alive). If you go during the night, you'll return with Shawn and Andre, while Chet will turn into a zombie. Regardless of the choice you have made, you and Clementine will be taken to the farm.
