How do you think they will end episode 4 without Clem dying?
I believe the is no possible ending for Clem where she lives.

If telltale wanted to go the easy uncreative route they'll just kill her off and call it a day. After EP1, i do hope they come up with something more well crafted and different than the same overused formula.
Just let her head somewhere of our choice. She could stay at the school or she could go back to Richmond or somewhere else from past seasons.
Head back to her house
I'm pretty sure since it's the final season that they'll end up finding some kind of solution to the walker plague or everyone will just end up getting nuked.
I honestly feel they don’t need to kill her off just because its the last game of her character arc. People all thought Nathan Drake was going to die because “A Thief’s End” seemed plausible. I agree with @AnimalBoy , they should give us multiple ending choices like in Season 2 and allow our Clem to go where she wants and just have her status remain permanently unknown.
It's not how it works in The Walking Dead. Robert Kirkman made it very clear that in this universe they're never going to explore the plague, the reasons for it, or cures. He wants the story to be about the survival and reforming of society, and he supervised the story of the game, so that can't happen. Even if he changes his mind, which is unlikely, he would still save this kind of story for his comics, and not for the game set in the same universe.
Then they should make it like an old western. Ride off into the sunset and the rest is left to the imagination.
I like this type of ending, like the Leave with Kenny option of Season 2, this way at least I know nothing bad's gonna happen when the rest is up to my imagination
one ending she continues to rule the school with minor variations. another one she leaves as everyone is dead except AJ and continues
The second option sucks.
Since this is the last Season in Clementine's story, I think Telltale will go all out with the choices this time. I'd be very disappointed if they didn't. Like having a "Happy Ever After" ending, but also one where everyone dies, including Clem and AJ. And a ton of endings inbetween. One where everyone continues living at the school, one where they leave the school but live, one where only AJ/Clem survives etc. I do think Clementine will die in at least one ending of the game, but I hope not in all of them.
All I want is not have Clementine end up in the comics. There is no point. There should be multiple endings.
An ending with just Clementine dying is going to be a bit predictable because almost everyone is expecting it. Like everyone above me said, there are probably going to be multiple endings.
Clementine should die. Otherwise I wouldn't cry. I want to see AJ crying his eyes out with Louis/Violet holding his hand whilst staring at the sunset. AJ would be wearing Clem's hat.
Aj turns into a zombie and then she has to shoot him.
Or
The school is destroyed and then they take over the raiders hideout and Clem becomes the leader.
?? This sets up the stage for a fifth season with Clementine.
Well the alternative type of ending happened three times already so that should be most predictable if anything by now.
No way Clem makes it out of this one alive....if they want a finale for the series finale to be memorable, touching and moving then there is not much of anything they could do besides ending it where she becomes a prisoner of war so to speak or just well written death. If she goes on with AJ it will be just like it was in not only the beginning of S4 but also the ending of S2. If she goes off truly alone this is S3's and S1's ending. If she leaves with one other survivor and AJ then this is again S2's type of ending. She stays at a settlement or town of survivor= S2's ending with Wellington. and if you notice all these past endings had a particular motive in mind, which was to keep the story moving and continuing to the next level. No one will just forever stop wanting to know how Clem's life is or what she's up to so long as she lives. You think folks will want to follow Gabe or Javi around for a couple more seasons while Clem's whereabouts are unknown though she'd be confirmed alive?
This being the final season should have some ultimatum of a cut off point with their decision to end the series that has followed Clem all the way up to this moment in time. Only an ending that will stand the test of time will be satisfactory. She could end up as a prisoner which hasn't happened at the end of a story anyway and just claim she never escapes or she dies a honorable way like Kenny would most likely in an attempt to save AJ. So that he goes on to survive just like Clem taught him as a passing of the mantle or torch like Lee did with Clem.
There really should be no way Clem survives season 4 unless they intend to continue making games with her in them even if for cameos. Otherwise there is no point going the way they tried with Javier because most folks never cared for him, them or anyone else other than the core cast of season one. Well AJ might come closest if they develop him right then we can just follow his story as like maybe Lee jr instead of Alvin jr in a way.
No it doesn't. You pick where she goes and she goes. End of story. That sets up nothing unless TellTale wanted it to. Gong back to an old location doesn't automatically mean more adventures.
Clem (and AJ if he's alive) goes to Richmond to live with Javi and Kate (David and Gabe are dead for me).
I'd like to see an extended epilogue set a few years later, where a 21-year-old Clementine revisits her parents' home, along with her treehouse and the rusting remains of the police car wreck in the forest.
Are you sure, because Georgia is pretty messed up with all the Walker chaos.
That would be a good way to end her story emotionally without having to kill her off. Killing her just to achieve a memorable ending similar to one of their past games is REALLY uncreative.
That’s a great idea !?????
Maybe they could also have Clementine finding a photo of Lee's ex-wife in the police vehicle. It'd be a gentle (if melancholic) way to close out the series: We're finally given our only glimpse of the woman who inadvertently put Lee on the path to meeting Clementine.
With AJ dying.
God bless everyone.
The Dog Dying?
I think she might live, but that it will be sad. Like if AJ died in the last episode.
No one will want to leave it at that if they continue to indulge in the Walking Dead universe. There will be curiosity about Clementine's fate. Imagine if Lee was separated from Clem but still somewhere out there and his whereabouts unexplored or even Kenny.. That'd be bothersome. Everyone would ask for more Clementine and want another game featuring Clementine because she is still out there. If Clem wasn't a big character then I can see that, but she's the protagonist and thus a very popular if the most popular character.
You know, when you really think about it, I don't think the Telltale Staff are even allowed to hint either way whether or not they plan to kill Clementine. The fact that they keep hinting at it on social media suggests that they are intentionally trying to scare people into buying the Game. Hell, they might even try to fake us out like they did in Season 2 Episode 5 by getting her shot again, or otherwise do what Square Enix did with Episode 5 of Life is Strange with the Nightmare Sequence. All for an elaborate ploy. Ahem. Of course that's just a theory.
I feel like they might make Clem's death determinate. Seems like the most sense to be honest. If its the final season go all out, add a ton of endings.
Also I doubt anything like this would actually happen as I also dont think we can truly look at achievements for hints at future episodes, but for the fun of it:
Episode 4 has a secret achievement called "goodbye" with the subtext being "Did all you could" with a picture of a right arm in a puddle of blood. Clearly Clem gets bit and we can cut her arm off just like Lee. This CLEARLY means you did all you could about your bite and you are saying "GOODBYE" to your stupid ass arm.
And clearly its Clem's arm because another achievement is "Promise" with Clem holding hands with Aj, but with her left hand. So CLEARLY this CONFIRMS Clem gets bit. Heard it here first, this should be taken 100% seriously and not as a meme in anyway at all. I mean it.
So basically a full circle ending where Clem cuts her hand but still gets rekt by the virus and AJ does a no scope.
Seems fitting tbh.
killing off your main character is not an overused formula. in fact it so rarely happens that the threat of death to protagonists has become a meme at this point because nobody even expects it to because money. just because it's not always written well doesn't mean it's overused or uncreative, it just has to be handled respectfully and realistically.
Clem gets shot by AJ cause she bit and then we get Walking Dead Season 5 with Alvin Junior.
Lel.
"Did all you could" implies to me it's AJ dead. She did all she could to keep him alive but in the end, it wasn't enough.
That's a good theory. See that's where my Detroit Idea comes into play. The idea that AJ would die just like Alice could while crossing the River into Canada. Clem would have a choice, just like Kara did, whether or not to end her own life or keep living. It would also serve as a callback to Michonne, only this time it would actually Matter.
Easily?
Lee comes back and shoots Clem and AJ and lives happily ever after
Or she didn't shoot him and he manages to travel all the way there as a zombie and eats them both...
Maybe that hand in blood doesn't necessarily imply Clementine getting bit. Maybe it just represents someone dies. I mean I don't think you can be too literal with the pictures, no?
