4.10 "Inmates"



This week we catch up with a few of our prison survivors.  First, we learn what happened to Beth and Daryl.  They are running away from zombies until they get clear and fall to exhaustion.  There is a voice over of Beth writing in her journal about how they have settled at the prison and how she feels there is hope that they can stay there and live out the rest of their lives in relative peace.  So much for that…

Later they are sitting around a campfire.  Beth tries to convince Darryl that they should go look for others but he just sits there quietly, so she walks away.  He puts out the fire and follows her.  They find some tracks which gives Beth hope, but Daryl is cynical.  (It looks like there is a dead bunny in a log.)  They find some walkers eating what’s left of some of the prison gang and breaks down crying.

Next we see Mica, Lizzie and Tyrese with Judith.  Night comes and Judith cries.  Lizzie gets her a bottle, but they think they hear walkers so they have to move.  (I swear I see Lizzy on the same branch that Daryl and Beth stopped at and she was playing with the dead bunny or she killed it.)  Judith keeps crying and they can’t figure out why.  (Um, I’m pretty sure she’s teething.)  Mica freaks out because they hear something they believe to be walkers.  A bird flies out of the bushes and she runs away.  When they catch her, Tyrese tells her she did the right thing by running, but when you’re in a group you need to stay close.  She apologizes for not being more like Lizzie, but Tyrese tells her its okay to do things differently.  They hear screams and Tyrese has to go check them out.  Mica doesn’t want him to go, but he tells her she can handle it because she is tough.

Tyrese finds two men fighting off walkers.  Meanwhile Mica and Lizzie are waiting and Judith is crying.  Lizzie puts her hand over Judith’s mouth.  (Um, she is suffocating her.  She and Carl should definitely be a couple, two sociopaths.)  Walkers come towards them.  Lizzie’s too busy suffocating Judith to hear Mica call her so Mica has to shoot her gun.  Tyrese’s struggle to help the two men doesn’t pay off because both of the men are eaten by walkers.  Then Tyrese hears a woman’s voice and it’s Carol, carrying baby Judith with Lizzie and Mica.  He still doesn’t know she killed Karen, so he’s happy to see her.  One of the men,  barely alive, tells them to follow the railroad tracks because up ahead there is a place where they will be safe.  Tyrese says he thought Carol was dead, but she says she wasn’t at the camp.  She tells him she stayed behind to gather more supplies, but she saw what happened.  They come upon a sign that promises sanctuary to all and has a map.

Apparently Maggie, Bob and Sasha made it out as well.  Bob holds out hope that others are alive while the two women are pessimistic.  Maggie wants to go find Glenn since she knows he was on the bus.  She says she’ll come back for them.  Sasha doesn’t want to split up so they go with her, but she would rather be searching for food and shelter.  They come upon the bus on the road, but its full of walkers.  Maggie wants to go inside to see if Glenn is in there.  They decide to let them out one at a time to look at them and then kill them.  The walkers over take the door and start falling out.  They kill them all, but Glenn is nowhere to be found.  Maggie gets on the bus to check it out.  It is not a pretty sight.  There is still one walker alive and on board but its not Glenn.

Glenn wakes up at the prison.  He calls for Maggie, but no one is there except the herd of walkers trying to get to him.  He locks himself inside the dark prison and moves slowly down the corridor.  He checks out the cellblock, which looks to be empty and then lies down, not knowing what to do next.  He sees the picture he took of Maggie and finds a new resolve.  He gathers supplies, puts on his riot suit and tries to make a run for it.  He sees another survivor and turns back for her.  It’s Tara.  She doesn’t think she should live because she was a part of what happened to the prison.  He says he needs her help, so they set a car on fire for a distraction.  They make a run for it.  She says she only helped the Governor because she trusted what he said, but then he killed “that old man”.  Glenn asks if his name was Herschel and she tells him she’s sorry.  She says the Governor told her they were bad people, but she can see now they are not and that she’s a piece of shit.  He says he needs to find Maggie, his wife, who is also Herschel’s daughter.  Glenn fights off some walkers and then passes out.  She kills the rest of them when a military truck pulls up and two men and one woman get out.

That’s it for this week, though I have to say I’m pretty sure the “who killed the rats” question has been answered.  LIZZIE!
