Michonne embarks on a quest to locate her husband, Rick Grimes. Along her journey, she crosses paths with Aiden (Breeda Wool) and Bailey (Andrew Bachelor), whom she rescues from walkers.

They selflessly join her mission, and together with Nat (Matthew Jeffers) and other community members, they form a united front.

Their travels take a harrowing turn when they encounter a helicopter dropping a chlorine bomb, claiming several lives. Aiden and Bailey manage to seek refuge with Michonne and Nat in an abandoned hospital but ultimately succumb to their injuries.

As they transform into walkers, Michonne is left with the heart-wrenching duty of ending their suffering.

The chlorine gas causes severe damage to the lungs and throats of the survivors. Michonne and Nat spend the following days recovering from their injuries.

Once they heal, Michonne asks Nat to go home. He refuses to abandon her and they continue their mission to Bridgers Terminal, where they spot one of the CRM helicopters, which triggers memories of the deadly attack.

Using his expertise in burning things down, Nat attacks the helicopter which has Rick Grimes and Donald Okafor (Craig Tate). The helicopter crashes and Nat and Michonne begin killing the surviving soldiers.

As Michonne wields her sword amidst a flurry of emotions, memories of losing Aiden and Bailey resurface. This is when she finds her long-lost love, Rick. Tears roll down her eyes, and she hugs and kisses him.

Despite finally finding each other, Michonne and Rick are still far from safety and home. Trapped in a city with no escape, they remain determined to return to their daughter.

Two episodes of 'The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live' are available to stream on AMC+.
