Telltale's The Walking Dead: A New Frontier - Episode 3: Above the Law is the third episode of the third season in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead series, and the fourteenth episode overall in the franchise. It was written by James Windeler and directed by Chris Rebbert. The episode was initially released on March 18, 2017, for Xbox One Season Pass holders, followed by a wider release on March 28, 2017, for PC (via Steam and the Telltale Store), PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, iOS, and Android. A Nintendo Switch version was released later, on January 21, 2020 [1].

The episode continues the story of Javier "Javi" Garcia and Clementine, focusing on their integration into the community of Richmond, controlled by the New Frontier. The narrative explores themes of family loyalty, trust, and the difficult choices survivors must make in a post-apocalyptic world [1] [2].

The main plot points of Above the Law include:

Javier's Flashback: The episode opens with a flashback to the early days of the apocalypse, showing Javier and Kate's struggle to find supplies and their encounter with a child walker, Drew, one of Gabriel's friends. This event highlights Kate's initial terror and Javier's protective instincts, ultimately leading to their decision to leave Baltimore [1].
Arrival at Richmond and Quarantine: In the present, Javier, Clementine, and their group (Tripp, Eleanor, and potentially Conrad) arrive at Richmond, a community controlled by the New Frontier. They are reunited with David, Javier's brother, but are immediately placed in quarantine. David, a high-ranking member of the New Frontier's council, works to secure their entry into the community [1].
Introduction to the New Frontier Council: David takes Javier to meet the New Frontier's council members: Joan (project manager), Clint (agricultural expert), and Dr. Paul Lingard (medic). During Javier's interview for admittance, Max, a New Frontier scout, accuses Javier of stealing supplies and killing his men. This leads to a confrontation where Javier can either concede, blame Max, or reveal Mariana's death at the hands of Badger, a New Frontier member [1] [5].
Exile from Richmond: Regardless of Javier's choices during the council meeting, he and his group are ultimately exiled from Richmond. David, however, secretly provides them with supplies and a map to a warehouse, promising to help them later [1].
Clementine's Flashback and AJ's Fate: While traveling to the warehouse, Clementine recounts her past with the New Frontier, specifically the events surrounding Alvin Jr.'s (AJ) illness and her forced separation from him. Players face a crucial choice: whether Clementine injects AJ with medicine against Lingard's advice or puts the drugs back. Regardless of the choice, Clementine is expelled from the New Frontier, and AJ is taken from her. However, David later reveals that AJ survived and Lingard knows his whereabouts [1] [5].
Warehouse Discovery and Confrontation: At the warehouse, Javier's group discovers crates looted from Prescott and other communities, revealing the New Frontier's involvement in raids. They encounter Max, Badger, and Lonnie, leading to a violent confrontation. Javier pursues Badger, leading to a determinant choice regarding Badger's fate: Javier can brutally kill him, kill him quickly, let him turn, or allow Conrad to kill him (if Conrad is alive and armed) [1] [5].
Max's Confession and Joan's Exposure: After dealing with Badger, Javier and David confront Max. Max confesses that Joan orchestrated the raids. Javier then has a determinant choice to spare Max (who can then expose Joan) or execute him [1] [5].
Return to Richmond and Final Choices: The group returns to Richmond to confront Joan. David plans to expose Joan with the help of other council members. Javier must decide whether to stick with David's plan (taking Kate and Gabriel to safety) or attempt to leave Richmond with Kate. This choice significantly impacts the immediate outcome, determining whether Javier is captured or if Kate and Gabriel are secured [1] [5].
Council Meeting and Betrayal: Javier arrives at the church where David is confronting Joan. If Max was spared, he confesses Joan's misdeeds. If Max was killed, Lonnie falsely blames David. Joan solidifies her power, and David and Javier are imprisoned. The episode concludes with Javier escaping and preparing to rescue David, setting the stage for the next episode [1].
