Twenty-minutes worth of episode stretched to 45 minutes.

Also, Carol put a shot gun in her golf bag and didn't use it. Chekhov's gun denied. For now.

I think Diabaté has the right idea. Not Vegas, necessarily, but generally just experiencing and enjoying what there is to do, now that there are no limits. Also, consider that while they "can't pick the apple", they seem to have no problem eating what is already picked--the warehouses full of produce. So, while the vast majority may starve, they don't all need to die. The unconverted could band together, and do the harvesting part, which seems to be the only roadblock--keeping a small community alive as long as the unconverted live. Small tribes would probably persist, regardless.
