   Summary

   Lori wakes up after dying in the weeping underground of the prison... And suddenly, she's back in King County, with her son at her hip, just before a new apocalypse is about to begin.

   Carl can't sense what's changed, but he's different. His mother's different. The life he had been living just yesterday feels worlds away.

   Together, they have to try and beat this world.
