Weeks pass and Laurel admits that she keeps her distance from her the people she escorts because every time she sees a Walker it reminds her that she’s failed over and over again. Which makes David question if she’s here for him, or is he here for her. To which for the first time she has no smart-ass comeback. They come north to Chicago, Laurel points out that they probably lost time for it, but David says he just wanted to see the city one last time before… the truth of the matter is that David’s estranged wife now lives in Chicago. He wanted to see her one last time, even if she couldn’t see him. He enters her apartment and seems to be a ghost to her as she talks on the phone to her mother and then showers. He leaves her a note from a crumpled up piece of paper and a thrown away lipstick which reads: I’M SORRY. FORGIVE ME. FORGET ME. I LOVE YOU. DAVID He returns to Laurel and tells her what happened since he kept her waiting, in her anger she explains that the Walkers are always watching and their job is not to kill David, but to break him, and easy way to do that is to kill and otherwise harm his loved ones. He gets back to her apartment to find her missing. They catch a Walker and they find out that she’s been taken to an empty apartment nearby. David’s wife, Sarah is drugged and manipulated into believing that David has abandoned her even as David and Laurel fight their way into the building. The Walkers attempt to get Sarah to commit suicide as David bursts in and attacks them. Sarah panics and runs out the fire access to the roof. She nearly falls off, but David is able to catch her before and she passes out. Laurel explains that he was able to touch her at all because he’s beginning to tap into his abilities as a Walker to pass between the mundane world and the In-between, the more he uses them the faster they grow.
