Ep 503 "Four Walls and a Roof"

QUICKLOOK:  Bob's gone, Daryl's back and so is Michonne's sword.
 
Gareth and the Termites are still enjoying their “ka-bob”.  Gareth tells him the Termites left the marks on the trees so “they could find their way back after”.  I’m assuming back to their old life.  He says they were giving people a choice as to whether or not they could be the butcher or the cattle.  They also apparently think women taste better because they have an extra layer of fat for child-bearing.  He tells Bob they are going to kill and eat all of his group.  Bob cries so hard he starts to laugh.  He calls them idiots and tells them he’s been bitten so he is tainted meat.  They freak out, but Gareth tells them they’re fine because they cooked the meat.

At the church, Sasha is worried about Bob, but Rick and Tyrese think he may be with Carol and Daryl.  She knows they are being watched.  She interrogates Gabriel who swears he has nothing to do with their missing friends.  Rick asks Gabriel what he did to the woman at the food bank and why he will “burn for this”.  As theorized, he locked the doors and didn’t let people from his congregation in once shit started hitting the fan.  He wouldn’t open the doors because there were so many of them so he stayed in the church and heard them being attacked.  They hear whistling outside and find Bob lying in the grass.  They bring him in the church and fend off the walkers.  There is a bloody “A” marked on the church which is the same as the train car the group was kept in at Terminus.  Bob’s still alive and he tells them Gareth took him and ate his leg.  He also tells them that Carol and Daryl drove off in a car.  He shows them the bite he got at the food bank.  Sasha asks why he didn’t tell her before.  He says it would have become all about the end and he was enjoying the middle.  Abraham wants to leave for DC right away. However Rick says they can’t leave yet without Carol and Daryl.  Abraham is afraid of the clear threat to Eugene.  He and Rick fight over the bus, but Glenn intervenes and says they need each other.  Tara says she will go to DC tomorrow if Daryl and Carol aren’t back, but Abraham wants Glenn and Maggie as well.  Glenn says if they stay and help them then he and Maggie will go as well.  Sasha wants to go attack the Termites with Rick.  Tyrese tries to talk her out of it, but she wants revenge and she wants Tyrese to put Bob down once he dies.

Viewing note:  Here’s the thing, they just left all of the other people unguarded, so now the Termites could attack the church.  Plus, the Termites have all those walkers locked up.  What are they going to do with them?  Hopefully Rick and his team turn back.

As Rick’s group leaves, we see Gareth and the others arrive at the church.  Gareth tries to lure what’s left of the group out, but they are not budging.  He has a choice between two doors, but before he does anything Judith starts to cry.  Martin starts to shoot at the door hinges, until a shot comes from behind them.  Rick is back and he shoots off part of Gareth’s hand.  The Termites surrender and Gareth tries his hardest to charm Rick into sparing him saying they will never cross paths again, but Rick says he’ll cross somebody’s path and try to do the same thing to them.  Then he pulls out the machete with the red handle and reminds Gareth he made a promise he’s about to carry out. He kills him with the machete while the rest of the group kills the others.  And, Michonne gets her sword back!  Gabriel comes out and is a bit disturbed at what happened.  He says this is the Lord’s house, but Maggie says, “No, it’s just four walls and a roof.”

The next day, everyone says their goodbyes to Bob.  He asks for Rick to stay with Judith for a few minute and thanks Rick for taking him in and showing him there were still good people out there.  He also reiterates to Rick he still believes what he said the day before.  “Nightmares end, but they shouldn’t end who you are.”  Sasha comes back in the room with him.  He is dreaming and smiling.  He wakes up and she asks him why he is smiling.  He says he dreamed of her and she was smiling at him.  She asks him “what is the good that comes from this bad”, but he’s gone.  She grabs the knife to finish him off until Tyrese opens the door and asks her to give him the knife and leave.  He does what he has to do.  Abraham and the others prepare to leave.  He gives Rick a map with the route they plan to take to DC and they all promise to meet up again.  After they leave Rick looks at the map, which says “Sorry I was an asshole.  Come to Washington.  The new world’s gonna need Rick Grimes”.

Rick helps Tyrese dig Bob’s grave and asks what happened to him on the way to Terminus.  Tyrese says it killed him, but Rick says it didn’t.  At the end of the episode, Michonne is outside talking to Father Gabriel about how the voices of his congregation will never stop.  She hears something in the trees and when she goes to look Daryl comes stumbling out.  She asks where Carol is and he tells someone to come out as the screen goes to the credits. 

End credits…

I guess we’ll find out who he’s with next week.  He seems a little out of sorts, so I wonder where they were and what they saw.  I’m a little sad that the Termites are dead.  They were definitely creepy bad guys, especially since they were cannibals.  And I’m glad Michonne got her sword back and Rick got to keep his promise with the machete.

Until next week!
