We open with Tara and Glenn riding in the truck of their new
companions. Tara writes the
directions they take on her hand with a Sharpie (smart move). They come upon a blockade of cars and
have to move them. Of course a
small group of walkers isn’t far behind so they have to take care of them. Tara comments that Abraham smiled while
killing the walkers. He says he’s
“the luckiest guy in the world”.
Michonne and Carl enjoy themselves over some stale
cereal. Michonne wishes there was
some soymilk, which sends Carl into a story about how he had a friend in third
grade that was lactose intolerant and how he would rather drink any other form
of milk including Judith’s formula.
When he realizes what he said mid-sentence all of the humor leaves the
table. Rick thanks Michonne for
making Carl laugh. He says he
can’t be his father and his best friend, but understands if she needs to take a
break. She says she’s done taking
breaks. Michonne asks if the house
is home now or just a stop along the way. Rick says they’ll stay there until
they figure it out so she recommends that she and Carl go and gather some more
supplies. Rick wants to help, but
Michonne doesn’t think that’s the best idea since he was unconscious the day
before. She tells him to rest for
one more day to regain his strength.
Rick gives Carl his gun and asks him if everything’s okay. Carl says he’s just hungry. After they leave he goes upstairs and
lays down in one of the beds with a book.
Michonne tries to cheer Carl up with some canned cheese she
found but he’s not interested. She
asks what’s wrong and he replies that he is fine. She tells him he doesn’t seem fine and he says he’s just
tired. She sprays some cheese in
her mouth and makes a face at Carl, but he doesn’t laugh. She apologizes and says she’s not good
at making boys his age laugh. She
is better with toddlers. He asks what
she means by toddlers and she confides that she had a three year old son who
found her “extremely funny”. Carl
asks why she never said anything and what his name was and if she was
married. She says she’ll answer
one question at a time, one room at a time after he clears it.
Back at the house Rick is asleep upstairs and there are men
fighting downstairs. Rick wakes up
and dammit a commercial break. It
sounds like a couple of men are torturing another man. Rick rolls off the bed and hides
underneath right before someone comes up the stairs. One of the men comes in the room. He walks around for a minute and Rick is shaking so badly. He looks at his watch because Carl and
Michonne were supposed to be back by noon.
Michonne tells Carl her son’s name was Andre and that he was
her only child. Carl asks if his
father knew and she tells him she never told anyone else before him. Carl says he’ll keep her secret. He brings her a painting that is
wrapped, she opens it while he is in another room and it’s a painting of a
walker. She goes to open the door
the painting was in front of. It’s
a bathroom that leads to a child’s room. There are three bodies laid out on the beds as well as a
fourth one in a rocking chair with their heads blown open. She comes out and finds Carl. He wants to know what’s in there, but
she tells him it’s just a dog. He
starts to talk about Judith and says that maybe she and Andre are together
somewhere.
Poor Rick is stuck under the bed while the guy is taking a
nap. Another guy comes in and they
fight over the bed. One guy falls
to the floor and sees Rick, but the other guy chokes him until he passes out so
he can’t give Rick away. The new
guy lies on the bed.
Glenn wakes up in the back of the truck. He asks Tara if they passed a bus. She tells him they did and he wants to
know what she saw. She says
everyone was dead. She tells him
they passed it three hours ago.
Glenn starts beating on the window so the truck will stop. They finally do and he gets out and
starts walking, but Abraham goes after him. He insists that Glenn get back in the truck and says that
the entire human race is at stake. They have to complete their mission. His name is Abraham Ford and his
companions are Eugene Porter and Rosita Espinosa. They are on a mission to get Eugene to Washington DC. He’s a scientist and allegedly knows
what started the whole outbreak.
Glenn asks what happened, but Eugene says it’s classified. Abraham tells Glenn they had been in
communication with Washington, but hadn’t heard anything in a few weeks. He saw how Glenn and Tara handled the
walkers and he could use their help.
Glenn says he’s sorry and walks away. Tara apologizes for taking Glenn away from the prison area,
but Glenn was passed out and they had to get off the road. She tells him she can get him back to
the bus. Abraham says it’s a waste
of time because Maggie is probably dead.
Glenn punches him and that sets Abraham off. Eugene sees a walker and calls for them, but the others are
all involved in the fight. Eugene
grabs a gun, but they start coming from all directions. Finally he fires and they quit fighting
and help. Unfortunately, Eugene
shot a hole in the fuel tank.
After the new king of the bed passes out Rick tries to sneak
out. One of the guys from
downstairs comes up to look around.
Rick hides in another room.
He tries to open one of the windows to get out, but they are all painted
shut. He grabs a gun and hides in
the bathroom. One of the men is on
the toilet so Rick has to fight him before he can yell out. Rick strangles him. I don’t know how because he still looks
like he’s on deaths doorstep. He
gets out of the bathroom window and has to figure out how to get down off the
roof. Once he gets down he goes to
sneak around the house, but one of the idiots comes out onto the front porch.
Glenn and Tara tell Abraham and his gang they are sorry
about their ride and they hope they get to Washington, but they can’t go. Rosita decides to follow them. Eugene says they should go with them as
well until they get another ride to Washington. Not sure I’d trust a guy with a mullet. Abraham tries to persuade Tara that
their trip to Washington is more important than Glenn finding Maggie, but she
doesn’t buy into his crap.
Rick is still stuck by the front porch. He can see Carl and Michonne coming
towards the house. He gets ready
to fight and run, but something happens inside the house so the guy goes back
inside. Rick runs towards Michonne
and Carl and tells them to run.
They end up on the train tracks and see a banner that says “Sanctuary
for all those who survive” and decide they should go.
End credits…
