Hershel is cleaning Rick's hand and tells him it is sprained. He asks if Rick is okay, not asking about his hand but his mental state. Everything they tried so hard to keep out made its way back in. Rick says it was always there. Rick looks at his gun with regret. Hershel says that when he fell off the wagon he would pick himself up because he had responsibilities. Rick losing his mind for the moment is like falling off the wagon. Tyreese is digging a grave very violently. Bob tries to convince him to have a doctor look at his injuries but Tyreese won't stop until they are all buried.
Glenn is talking to Hershel and tells him that he thinks everything will be okay. He says that with walkers or other people (that pose a threat) he knows what to do, he fights. But with a virus all that he can do is dig graves. Sasha comes out to where they are and starts coughing. She keeps Hershel away and says she is going to see Dr. S and that she will be okay. Sasha calls out to Dr. S in the prison. We hear people coughing. A woman is coughing up blood. One patient is already a zombie. Dr. S is sick too. He says it is starting.
Council meeting. Everyone that was in cell block D is sick. It seems like Glenn is getting sick. Hershel says they need antibiotics. He suggests a veterinary college that might not have been raided. Michonne volunteers to go but Hershel mentions she was not exposed and should not be around those who were. Hershel volunteers to go but Daryl mentions that on every trip they always end up having to run at some point. Hershel gets the hint and says he will draw them a map. Hershel suggests separating the most vulnerable (children) from those infected.
Carol and Rick are trying to fix a water pump. Carol wants to fix it before they do anything else because there aren't many survivors left. Carol mentions that Carl is part of the group that has been isolated for being vulnerable. She suggests Rick talk to Tyreese. Rick apologizes to Tyreese. Tyreese says it's on both of them. Tyreese says Rick has to find out who did this. Rick asks if anyone had a problem with Dave or Karen. Tyreese says no. Rick suggests whoever did this was trying to stop the spread of the disease. Tyreese says they didn't succeed. Rick says that the killer isn't going anywhere. Tyreese says that he sees that murder is seen as alright by those in the prison. Tyreese is being irrational here. They have to deal with the spread of the new virus before they can deal with any crime. Come on, it's the zombie apocalypse, people die every day. Priorities please.
Carl grabs a picture of his family pre-apocalypse. Rick says he wants Carl to keep an eye on Judith and keep her safe. Carl says what if someone gets sick and dies they might turn. Rick tells him not to fire unless he needs to. Carl says he might have to shoot them. Rick doesn't seem happy with the situation but says nothing else. Glenn is sick. He is muttering to himself that it's going to be okay. He tells Maggie not to come into their room.
Daryl is fixing a car engine for their trip. He tells Michonne he's glad she's here. He thought she might be running off. She says she is not running off. She wants to know who else is coming. Bob is coming but Daryl would like at least one other person. Daryl finds Tyreese. He says they will put a bullet in whoever is responsible. Tyreese wants to stand guard because Sasha is in there. Daryl tells them where they will be in case he changes his mind.
Hershel is walking through the halls of the prison when Carl sees him and asks where Hershel is going. Hershel tells him to keep his distance. Hershel is going to the woods. Carl says he can't let him go by himself. Carl says he won't stop him but he will tell Rick. Carl says he has to go with Hershel. Carl thinks that he is apparently in charge of the prison for the moment. Rick wants him to watch over the other kids not tell council members what they can or cannot do. It seems giving him back his gun has brought back some of that cockiness. He could get dangerous again very quickly.
So many people are sick. Carol is herding people into the quarantine (cell block A). A woman named Janette says it is just allergies but Carol makes her go in anyway. Lizzie tells Carol she doesn't feel well. Carol gives her a hug and tells her to go in and lie down. Lizzie asks if Carol will tuck her in. Carol opens the door and ushers her in and then closes the door behind her. Carol walks away crying.
Maggie is talking to Beth through a door. Maggie tells her that Glenn is sick. Beth tells her there is no need to be upset. People are going for medicine and she just needs to focus on what they have to do. They will deal with whatever happens. They have to, they don't have a choice.
Hershel is picking plants and asks when Carl got his gun back. He tells Carl that he has become more responsible. Hershel says he would have been fine on his own and that they would be safer outside of the prison. Carl says no they would not. We see a tent and then a half decomposed zombie. The zombie reaches her hand out to them. Another female zombie (this one with a trap on her leg) walks over to them. Carl is going to shoot her but Hershel says he doesn't need to. Neither zombie poses an imminent threat to them. Hershel says it is so peaceful out in the woods. Carl says it was.
Tyreese and Sasha are talking through a window. She says it is not as bad as it looks. She is sorry about Karen. He tells her to be positive. Positive vibes. He tells her about the group going to get medicine. She says they could have medicine as early as tomorrow and seems to brighten at the idea.
Daryl says they are taking Zach's car. Bob asks if he wants him coming along. Daryl pulls out a piece of paper and asks Bob to read medical term on the list. Bob does and Daryl says he wants him to go with them (remember that Bob is a former Army medic). Tyreese volunteers to go with them. Carol is trying to get water from some large plastic bins but they are both empty. Tyreese kind of sneaks up on her. He tells her he knows she cares and asks her to look in on Sasha. She says she would be happy to and gives her condolences for Karen. She angrily throws the bucket away. She pushes the water bin and water pours out of it. She realizes what she's done and picks it up then sits down crying.
Maggie is yelling at Hershel for not being with the unexposed group but purposely exposing himself to the virus by helping the sick. Hershel says he is going to make some elderberry tea because he can help. This time he can change what is happening to them. He wants to control their symptoms. He says you risk your life in every moment and the only thing that matters is what you are risking it for. So he is going to risk his life to help the sick. Maggie doesn't respond but she opens the door for him.
Beth tells Maggie that Hershel left. Maggie asks if she knows where he went.
Rick is investigating the spot where Karen and Dave were burned. He looks at the door and notices a partial bloody hand print. The sheriff is back to investigating crimes.
Carol is outside fixing the hose they use to pump water into the prison. Zombies are milling near her. Rick walks outside with a bucket and sees Carol is outside of the fence. Zombies hear her making noise and move towards her. Rick notices and starts running towards her. He tells her to run. She keeps cussing but doesn't move she is still trying to fix the hose. Eventually she moves. She kicks a zombie and stabs another. Rick begins shooting at zombies. They make their way back in. He is upset because they had agreed to fix the hose tomorrow.
Daryl in the car tells Michonne that he knows she is not running off but the trail went cold if not he would be with her. He turns on the radio and asks Michonne for a CD.
Hershel makes Dr. S drink some of the tea he made. Dr. S tells him he shouldn't be in there. He coughs up blood all over Hershel. Hershel takes the cloth off his face and wipes away the blood. He tells Dr. S that if Dr. S wasn't there already he would still have ended up there helping the sick. Hershel is giving Glenn some tea. Glenn says the situation sucks. That after everything he has survived he is going to be taken out by a glorified cold. Hershel tells him not to say things like that. They all have jobs here (this echoes what Beth told Maggie earlier).
Rick tells her it was stupid of her to be out there like that. She admits it was stupid. He says she does a lot for them. For the kids. She sacrifices a lot. Is there anything she wouldn't do for them? She says no. He asks if she killed Karen and David. She says yes (I knew it!). She walks away.
Final Thoughts
- Is sociopath Carl rearing his ugly head again? He talked back to Hershel twice in this episode. Does he need his hat to make the final transformation?
- How useful will Tyreese continue to be if he is out for revenge against the person who killed Karen?
- Were Karen and David dead before Carol burned them? Or did she burn them alive?
- Did Carol have the right to make the decision to kill Karen and David without discussing it with the council? It's obvious that she did it to try to stop the spread of the new virus but she failed. This is not the first thing she has done for the good of the group in secret. Remember that she was teaching the kids zombie fighting skills.
- What will Rick do with the knowledge that Carol is responsible for those two deaths? He promised Tyreese that justice would be done.
- How will Daryl and the others react when they find out Carol is responsible for the burned bodies? That is if Rick decides to tell anyone.
- I re-watched this episode and found it interesting watching Carol's reaction throughout the episode when you know she is responsible for the death of Karen and David. Now we know why she was so upset when Tyreese asked her to look in on Sasha. He went on and on about how much she cares about everyone.
- Did it seem like Michonne and Daryl were a little flirty?
