She's not dead.
Christa, that is. I'd put money on it.
Offing Omid served a very useful narrative purpose for Christa. It left her bitter and I think gave her a bit of inner turmoil. On the one hand, I think she has for many months been telling herself that Clem is just a little girl and shouldn't be blamed for what happened. On the other, I suspect some irrational part of her is raging at Clem, blames her for leaving her gun on the counter, and generally holds her at fault for what happened to Omid. You could detect an undertone of resentment in her treatment of Clem all through their scene together which I believe stems from this.
All of that is great fodder for interesting character development, for both Clem and Christa.
Except if Christa is just straight up dead, in which case the whole beginning of the episode turns from setting up an interesting exploration of character into Telltale just clearing up irritating loose ends from Season 1 so they can get into straight Season 2 stuff. Which is lazy and boring writing.
So yeah. Christa is probably alive. There's still too much she can add to the story for her to be dead.

Lets do what kenny fans do and create 20 "Christa is alive" threads. It's only fair
But yeah, she's obviously alive .. if you picked the distract option.
I think she's pretty much dead if you pick the sneak away option though, she gets stabbed in the leg and then soon after a gunshot is heard with no struggle.
If you picked distract, you hear a grunt THEN a gunshot, which to me shows that she was wrestling the gun of the guy and he fired it into the air?
No other gunshots are heard after this however.
the distance clem traveled you'd of still heard any futher gunshots, so she probably escaped and killed all of them.
i agree, if christa dead they missed great story telling
She really should be dead if you choose to sneak off as she gets handicapped and then has a gun pointed at her
I heard a kick, a grunt, and a shot.
I think I heard walkers as well, so they may have shot one instead of her.
it could be lilly
Which doesn't mean he shot to kill. If anything, if you're afraid there's a dangerous rival group in the area, wouldn't you very specifically keep her alive precisely so she could be made to talk?
The choice to distract them or sneak off also lends weight to the idea that she's alive. If they just shot her either way, then its an empty choice which leads nowhere. If she's alive, then she can be angry or thankful depending on whether you tried to protect her. Her actual survival on this occasion is probably too vital a plot point to be determinant.
Christa became Lilly after that scene?
That's one scary thought..
Yep, She was so sad Over Omid, she became Lily
It's possible Christa is going to die anyway at some point, just a question of whether it's there when you sneak away or at a later date. Remember we don't control the story just how we get there. And in season 1 whenever you made a choice to save someone over someone else it really didn't matter because that person wound up dying anyway, it's just a matter of how and when.
Everyone is going to die.....Eventually.....
"Screw you bandits!
... OMMIIIIIID
a few minuites later
SOMEONE IS STEALING MY DRUGS!"
Lol, Better Find someone to kill for no reason!
i agree
