No title as of yet, but I am checking daily for that. In his recent comments on Chris after 'Do Not Disturb', episode 2.11, showrunner Dave Erickson commented about when we will see more of CHirs' issues come out. .
"ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, usually we go through these episodes somewhat chronologically, but we are starting right at the end this time, because of what may be our most shocking moment ever on the series here as Chris just straight-up murdered a dude who was only trying to protect his property. Has Chris officially crossed over to the dark side now?
DAVE ERICKSON: I think Chris has crossed over to the apocalyptic side, definitely. Here’s the thing for Chris: What he has been looking for — and this goes back to the pilot in episode 2 — Chris is a kid who is looking for his place. Before the apocalypse, he was alienated, he was very angry, he was very lost, and then the apocalypse struck, and then he lost his mother by the hand of his own father, and he’s gone through some pretty hellish experiences. I think the biggest thing that Chris needs is to find people who actually get him.
... I think Chris reacts instinctively, and he does it because he thinks he’s protecting his friends.
In episode 13, we’re going to return to this story and we’ll get more of Chris’ thinking and the reasons he feels it was justified, and it really becomes something of a morality play where Travis has taken him away, has decided to abandon the rest of his family because he thinks he can save his son. And he feels a certain degree of guilt and definite obligation to protect his little boy...."

"...I think that moment when Chris pulls the trigger is devastating to Travis, and he’ll spend one more episode and perhaps more trying to salvage this kid that he can still remember going camping with and still remember who he was before the divorce, before the apocalypse — and I think for Travis, it’s very difficult to accept that that’s completely gone.
So yes, I think Chris has crossed a line, but I also think that he feels that it is justified and that there is an actual practical and pragmatic reason to do it. This is a world now where you kill to protect your friends, and I think from his perspective, that’s what he did.
...Travis sees this coming down the pike. Travis recognizes that these guys are not good dudes, and Chris can’t see it. The elements that frighten Travis are the things that Chris really responds to...."
