When we left the prison had been overrun with Walkers after
the Governer’s failed attempt to take over. We lost poor Herschel, the ruthless Governer, and possibly
even Little Ass Kicker aka Judith.
(I don’t think she’s dead.)
We don’t know where anyone is or how they will find each other, be we
know eventually, they will.
Michonne sees the prison burning and wonders about her
friends. After making two more
slave boys out of walkers, she locks the rest within the prison fence. She comes upon Herschel’s zombie head
and has to stab it. She takes a
moment, as she knows everything has now changed. She ends up on the same dirt road that Rick and Carl took
and she sees Rick’s boot prints, but she doesn’t follow them.
Rick and Carl are wandering down a gravel road. Rick is half dead trying to keep up
with him. Rick knows they need to
find somewhere to bunker down, but the stress has gotten to Carl (who I think
is a sociopath) and he doesn’t want to talk, he wants to kill. They find a biker bar and decide to check
it out. They find one huge walker. Carl just wants to shoot him, but Rick
thinks he can draw him out. (I
mean, c’mon Carl, there’s a shitload of walker’s around, let’s not call
attention to ourselves…) The walker
comes toward Rick who goes to hit him with a hatchet, but Carl’s itchy trigger
finger gets to him and he shoots the walker in the head. Rick chastises him for wasting a
bullet, especially when they don’t have many. They check for supplies and move on to some houses. Carl finds a teenage boys room complete
with TV and videogames. In another
life… He takes the cable and ties
the door shut. Rick wants to
barricade it, but Carl says Shane taught him how to tie the knot and asks if
Rick even remembers him. Rick says
he thinks about him every day and asks if there is something Carl wants to say
to him. He keeps his mouth shut
and helps Rick barricade the door.
Rick goes to the bathroom to clean up. He’s wheezing badly and his side is bruised pretty
badly. Not to mention that one of
his eyes is swollen shut.
OMG, we get a Michonne flashback! Or is it a dream…
Alas, it is the latter, but with a whiff of truth about it. She is talking with two men (one of
whom is her “lover”) as she is cutting food. She goes to wipe the knife and it’s her katana sword. Then a toddler comes running in, whom
she grabs and calls “peanut”. She
takes the food to the two men who are now in ragged clothes and fighting about
whether they should stay where they are or go join a camp. Next the men have no arms and look like
the two guys she showed up by Herschel’s farm with. The child is gone.
She wakes up in a car.
Carl wakes up and Rick is still sleeping. Rick doesn’t look any better than he
did last night. Carl makes cereal
and hangs out in the “teenage” room.
When he comes back downstairs to check on Rick he can’t wake him. Carl starts freaking out and yelling at
him. Eventually walkers hear and
come to the front door. Carl
sneaks out the back and only sees two of them. He leads them away from the house and out into the
street. He’s surprised by a walker
he didn’t see. He’s surrounded and
falls to the ground and ends up having to use his bullets. He crawls out from under them and
throws up. Luckily there seem to
be no more Walkers around. When he’s
back at the house, Carl tells an
unconscious Rick that he doesn’t need him anymore. He couldn’t protect anyone else. So he basically blames him for everything. He tells him he’s nothing and he’d be
fine if Rick died.
Carl leaves Rick to go find supplies. He tries to break down a door, but when
he runs into it he falls on his ass.
(That’s what you get!) He
finally breaks in and finds canned goods then checks out the rest of the house. He opens one door and finds a Walker
who breaks through. Carl tries to
shoot him, but wastes two bullets.
He finally gets a shot in, but it wasn’t a kill shot. Now, he’s out of bullets. He gets into another bedroom, but can’t
get the door closed. He goes for
the window, but can’t get it open far enough to get out. The walker almost bites his leg, but
Carl gets away and shuts him in the room.
He finds a piece of chalk and writes “Walker inside, got my shoe didn’t
get me”. He eats a can of pudding
on the roof of the house.
Michonne falls in with a heard of Walkers. They start to figure out she’s not
human so she has to start chopping heads right and left including her own two
walkers. She turns around and goes
back to the road with Rick’s footprints to follow them. Michonne finds the dead walker in the
biker bar. She starts talking to
her lover Mike. She says, “I know
the answer, I know why”. (My guess
is Mike killed himself and their son too.)
Back with Rick and Carl, Rick starts to wake up. He reaches out and sounds like a
Walker. Carl is ready to shoot
him, but starts crying and decides he can’t. He says what he said earlier was wrong. Rick calls out his name and tells him
to stay safe and passes out. Carl
admits he’s scared. Rick wakes up
later and tells Carl he shouldn’t have risked going outside, but he’s glad he
found more food. Rick says he hung
on to being a farmer for Carl and Judith and he’s sorry. Carl tells him he doesn’t need to be.
Michonne gets to the neighborhood and sees Rick and Carl
through a window. She knocks on
the door. Rick looks out the peephole
and laughs and tells Carl it’s for him.
End credits…
