Episode 10: The Outcast | We're Alive: Frontier

The expedition has collapsed. After the ambush in Jefferson City, the group is scattered, wounded, and stranded in open prairie with no transportation, limited supplies, and two members bleeding out. What follows is a story about what happens when a mission fails completely—when the only choices left are whether to abandon the wounded, seek revenge, or find a way to hold together as a group that has already started to fracture.

The Aftermath of Catastrophe

The episode opens with the group crossing the Missouri River after escaping Jefferson City. Stingray has taken a bullet through her midriff, and Band-Aid's shoulder wound is aggravated by the movement. The prairie offers no cover—just tall grass and the skeletons of abandoned vehicles that have rusted into "giant metal land mines." Rafe leads, supported by Kent, while Jenny helps Stingray. The group is exposed, exhausted, and being tracked.

They find an abandoned farmhouse, rotten and unstable but standing. Inside, Band-Aid tries to treat Stingray's wounds, but his hands are shaking. Jenny steps in, taking over the medical work. She closes both flesh wounds, staunching the bleeding, and tells Band-Aid: "Only reason I was pissed at you is one thing. Not because you made a mistake, but because you didn't own it. You don't own your mistakes, you get people killed."
