The trip on the bus doesn’t last long. Something bursts or explodes and the bus goes
air born landing on its side with plenty of walkers around. The group decides to fight their way out
because the engine is on fire and it won’t be long before the bus goes up in
flames. Eugene can’t take the violence
and guts around him until one walker almost gets Tara. Once the walkers are dead, Maggie tries to
retrieve the first aid kit from the bus, but it is already engulfed in
fire. Abraham is insistent that they continue
the mission and after a brief talk with the group they decide to walk until
they find new transportation. They hole
up in a bookstore for the night and Abraham thanks Glenn for sticking by him
after the bus crashed. Abraham decides
to go to bed, but gets some booty from Rosita before going to sleep. Tara catches Eugene watching them having
sex. She thanks Eugene for having her
back earlier and he confesses to sabotaging the bus by putting glass in the
fuel line. She gets upset because he
almost killed everyone, but decides to keep his secret after he reveals that he
believes he’d be dead if he didn’t know about a cure. That is his only value to any group because
he has no other skills. Tara tells him
it’s not true and that he definitely shouldn’t tell any one else what he did to
the bus and she makes him promise to never do it again. The next morning Rosita and Abraham argue. She thinks they should stay at the bookstore
until they heal and rest up a bit, but he won’t have it, so they go back
out. They find a fire truck that has
some trouble starting because human remains are stuck in the engine. It also happens to be holding a door closed
to keep in a slew of walkers. As the
others stab the attacking walkers in the head, Eugene heads to the top of the
truck and uses the hose to kill them. They
start off again and after a few miles the fire truck gives out and they must
continue on foot. They come to a field
covered in walkers. Everyone thinks they
should find a detour because there is no way they will make it through, but as
usual Abraham wants to press on. At this
point even Rosita isn’t on his side. He
flips and grabs Eugene while Glenn and the others try to stop him. Finally Eugene admits he lied and he is not a
scientist. (I had this inkling he would
be a fraud! Especially since he told
Tara that was his only value as a member of the group.) He says he believed DC would be the best
place to survive so he manipulated people into getting him there. Abraham is pissed and punches Eugene three
times until Eugene passes out. The
others stop him and Rosita threatens to pull her gun. Finally, Abraham walks off while the others
try to revive Eugene. I don’t think he’s
going to make it because Abraham did a number on him. His brain has to be mush.
We also got some backstory on Abraham in this episode. He had a wife and kids and after the outbreak
happened he was taking care of them in the back of a store. He kills some men (not sure if they were
walkers or if they were alive) with canned goods. Full of adrenaline he calls for his wife
Ellen. He finds her and the kids and
they are horrified by his appearance and scared of him. He is covered in blood and has been in
soldier mode which they have never seen before.
The next morning he wakes up to find his family gone. Ellen left him a note asking him not to look
for them. He eventually finds Ellen and
the kid’s dead and half eaten. He
decides to shoot himself in the head until he hears a man yelling for
help. It is Eugene. Abraham kills the walkers and then continues
to carry out killing himself, but Eugene tells him he knows how to get a cure
and needs to get to DC.
End credits…
Only 3 episodes left until the winter break! And next week we get to see what Carol and
Daryl are up too. It seems like they are
planning how to infiltrate the Grady group instead of going in with guns
blasting. I wonder if we will get to
see where Rick and the other part of the group are and how they are fairing.
Until next week!
