Clementines Bag (In-depth Analysis)
I been wondering about this question for a really long time in The Walking Dead!
**What happened to Clementines Bag in Season 1? **
I can think of a few theories of what happened to it or where it was left:
- They were forgetful It was left on the train - this theory is possibly the most likely for me.
- It was left at the house - even know i don't think we saw in episode 4 I could be wrong and they left it at the house
- Clem lost it in Crawford - only if it was in episode 4
- The Stranger took it - when doesn't matter but it would probably be when they got to Sahvanna, anothre note is I didn't see it in the room but it could of been behind the door that you can't go through
- Vernon stole it at the house
Unfortunately these theories are only possibilities right now and even though they are vague there are still two many for us to determine where it actually is but we can back up a few of them with some of the pictures released for season 2. The first one I noticed is the background of the site where Clementine is holding her arm.
Notice how she might have a different bag on.
I say 'might' because her original bag could of been modified by strapping some camping gear onto it. Unfortunately I do believe that her original bag would be big enough to carry much in it so it might be more likely for it to be another bag. You could give me the argument that lee can carry a blow torch in his pocket so Clementine should be able to fit a train into her bag (This statement is just a metaphor, I don't believe that Telltale would make anyone carry a train in their games). If this is a new bag I do hope that Clementine has just kept her smaller bag inside it like I do on expeditions. I cannot convince myself between these two ideas since we can only see part of the bag in this picture and also because of the Latest picture we have been given.
Now in this picture with Omid we can clearly see the bag in full detail - it is definitely her original bag from season 1 meaning it is probably in the game. Now this goes back to our original question of what happened to it in season 1. I think the last time I saw it was on the train at the end of episode 3. Now Omid is in this picture meaning that one of our possibilities is that Omid and Christa took it or found it after episode 5.
Now the last thing you say to Omid and Christa is to either meet at the train, find a boat, or find her when you get down. Now the first one about the train could be - if the choice does change the outcome - that they go back to the train and find her bag and when they meet back up they give it back to her. The second is to find a boat but his could mean they might possibly find Vernon and he could have her bag since he wanted to take her away so either stole it from the house or found it back at the train since he also made note of that in the end of episode 4. The final one that would probably be the same outcome as not saying anything that will probably be them going to the Marse house where they will find Clementine's bag or maybe these choices will effect what type of bag she would have in season 2.
Now these pictures might not actually be in season 2 and are just teasers which don't spoil the game but I do believe that in season 1 they left it on the train and that if you told Christa and Omid to meet you at the train then they will find it and give it back at a later time. While the two figures in the distance at the end of season two could of given it to her since they had a spare and form one of the season 2 pics we can see a guy who clearly has a camping bag similar to the one Clementine has in the first picture in this post. Then Clementine could get her bag back at a later time depending if Christa and Omid have it.
This is only my opinion of what could of happened to the bag in season 1, like you guys I don't know what has happened to her bag but I have given a lot of other possibilities that you guys could expand on to figure out what has happened to her bag in season 1. I do hope that we will find out in season 2 since she does get it back in the pictures that Telltale have been teasing us with.

While I'm yet to be convinced that the bag itself is a significant detail, I appreciate the fact that somebody has got an eye out for this kind of thing. I myself completely missed how often that red haired guy showed up in the background of The Wolf Among Us.
Thanks.
The bag will probably not be a significant detail in the actual story for the Walking Dead Season 2 unless it is a decision like taking the hoody from the abandoned car in Season 1. I only thought about this since Telltale were teasing us with a new photo that turned to be a picture of Omid and Clementine at Gil's Pit stop and the IGN video on it didn't analyse the picture in full depth - well at least for me anyway. Also I know what you mean about the The Wolf Among Us, even though I did notice him throughout the game I didn't really suspect anything but people on TWAU forums are given great suggestions on who the character if important could be even if he is not the murderer,
I just thought of another possibility. Maybe the picture of Clementine with the camping bag is in the future - maybe a year after season 1 - while the picture with Omid is only a few days after Sahvanna and its just the fact that Clementine got older that she got a more practical bag.
It´s just a bag...
I know it's just a bag but I feel like it might possibly matter in season 2 for the stated reasons for above. Even if you are not interested in it I thought it would be a cool thing to look at specific details about the recent picture that Telltale have teased us with.
good spot! i like the little details like this,and good post!
Very well analysed, I would of never though there could be so much speculation behind a bag. I do hope they bring this into the game and I will show your choices had at least some minor impact even if it's Clem's fashion sense, either way she is gonna look FABULOUS!
In the end of Season 2 Ep 1 instead of choosing between Carley & Doug it will be to choose between which bag is more FABULOUS!
I wonder if the latest Vine video characters will be involved in this?
