Ep 4.12 "Still"



It’s nighttime.  Daryl and Beth are running from something.  They see a car and Beth tries to see if it will start.  They hear walkers so they have to hide themselves in the trunk of the car.  A thunderstorm starts.  They end up staying in the trunk all night.  Finally it is quiet so they open the trunk door and climb out.  They salvage what they can from the trunk and go on their way.  Daryl tries to hunt for food while Beth starts a fire and sets up alarms around camp.  Daryl tracks down a rattlesnake for dinner.  Beth tells Daryl she needs to drink some alcohol and asks him to go find some with her. He doesn’t answer so she goes off by herself.  Of course she runs into a small group of walkers.  She’s able to deter all but one and gets ready to kill him if he discovers her, but at the last second he turns away.  As she turns around she see’s Daryl their with his crossbow ready.

He takes her back to their small camp, but she’s not happy.  She’s tired of staring at a fire and doing nothing.  She doesn’t understand how Daryl cannot have any feelings.  She says she can take care of herself and she’s going to get a damn drink.  He comes with her and they find a golf clubhouse.  They get in through a back entrance.  There are walkers hanging from the ceiling, people who killed themselves and came back.  Daryl finds money and packs it into a bag.  Beth asks him why he’s keeping it, but walkers are breaking down the door so they have to go hide.  They go further into the building.  Beth finds a bottle of alcohol, but gets attacked by a walker and has to use it as a weapon.  After they struggle, she finally puts a knife in the walker’s skull.  She sarcastically thanks Daryl for his help.  He says she said she could take care of herself and she did. 

Beth finds some new clothes in the shop.  There is a dead woman hanging with jewelry on and a sign that says “Rich Bitch”.  Beth asks Daryl to help take her down and he covers her with a blanket instead. While they are still exploring a grandfather clock starts chiming which brings the attention of all the walkers.  Daryl and Beth get cornered, but Daryl is able to kill them all.  Unfortunately in the process he gets a walkers head guts all over Beth’s new shirt.

They finally make it to the bar.  She finds a bottle of peach schnapps and asks Daryl if it’s good.  He says no, but it’s the only thing that’s left.  Beth finally breaks down and cries.  Daryl doesn’t know what to do.  He takes the bottle of alcohol and breaks it telling Beth he’s not going to let her first drink be peach schnapps, and they leave.  He takes her to an old cabin he and Michonne found one time and finds a stash of moonshine.  She drinks it, but thinks it’s disgusting.  They decide to play a drinking game where they ask each other question’s.  It leads to Daryl getting upset and rattling out things from his time as a child.  He gets mad and drags her outside to make her shoot the walker with a crossbow.  She finally stabs the walker in the head.  Daryl gets mad and starts yelling at her about how everyone they know is dead and they will never see them again.  He is mad at himself for stopping his search for the Governor because maybe if he had found him everyone would be okay and Herschel would still be alive.  She hugs him.

He tells her that before the apocalypse he was nothing.  All he did was follow Merle around and let him tell him what to do.  She says he’s changed, he was built for this world and he’ll be the last man standing.  She thinks they should burn the house down because it represents Daryl’s past and they do.
End Credits…
