Beth and Daryl
Voice over of Beth saying how the prison is a good thing. They will grow crops and Lori will have a safe place to give birth. She keeps saying how it is easier to be afraid. Hershel said, "If you don't have hope what is the point of living?" Her wish was to live in the prison for the rest of her life. She is writing in her journal. We see Daryl and Beth running through the forest away from zombies. Beth is out of bullets and Daryl shoots an arrow saving her. She and Daryl run through a field and fall to the ground in the middle of it. Vultures fly overhead.
Daryl and Beth sitting by a campfire. She says they should do something. He does not respond. She says they can't be the only survivors. She wants him to look for tracks. He doesn't respond so she says she is going to track and goes off to the woods by herself. Not so smart, Beth. Daryl puts out the fire and follows her. The next day it looks like Daryl has found some footprints. She says they could be Luke's or Molly's (kids?). We see a log with dead bunnies at the site as they walk away. Beth insists whoever left those prints is still alive. They find trampled grapes on the ground. It looks like whoever was there ran away from something. Beth tells Daryl to have faith. He says having faith did nothing for Hershel. Beth picks some berries for when they find the others. They stumble upon some recently killed zombies. Daryl notices human blood (not walker blood) on a plant. They hear something behind them. A walker grabs Beth and Daryl pulls it off of her and tackles it to the ground. Beth grabs her knife and plunges it into his head. They keep following the tracks and find a railroad track. They see zombies eating some bodies. Daryl shoots them all with arrows. Who were they eating? We see a child's shoe. Looks like the trail ends here. Beth begins to cry. Daryl just moves on down the track. That night she pulls some pages form her journal and uses them in the fire. Her voice over says no one is going to die. She believes this (the prison) could work, she believes for Hershel.
Tyreese, Mika, Lizzie
Mika and Lizzie walking through the woods with Tyreese and Judith!! I knew she was alive. Mika was crying and wanted Carol. At night Judith begins to cry. Lizzie hands Tyreese a bottle (if you are wondering where they got the bottle remember that the girls already had Judith and must have grabbes some supplies for the baby). They better find some place soon. Lizzie stabs some bunnies sleeping in the log she is sitting on. I'm pretty sure this proves she is the rat killing zombie feeder. The next morning they find a bush with grapes on it. The girls eat them. It is the same bush Daryl and Beth found. Judith begins to cry. Tyreese changes her diaper. Mika is concerned about the noise Judith is making. They hear walkers and Tyreese goes toward the sound. . .it's just some birds. Mika runs off and Tyreese with baby and Lizzie go running after her. They find Mika. He tells her it was okay that she ran but she needs to stay with the group. She apologizes for not being like Lizzie. They hear screaming. He puts the girls back to back with Lizzie holding Judith. Tyreese tells them to stay together and run if they see walkers. He goes to help whoever is screaming. Mika looks scared as she holds a gun. Tyreese finds some people fighting walkers. He goes to help. The girls are concerned about the noise Judith is making. Lizzie covers Judith's mouth. A couple of walkers approach the girls. Mika calls to Lizzie as the zombies approach she shoots but misses. Tyreese hears the shot. He is helping them kill the zombies all but one dies. Tyreese hears someone call his name. He turns around and it is Carol. She's back! The man that survived but is bitten tells them to stay on the tracks. They will find a safe place there. They leave the man behind. He cries. He will become the walker that attacks Daryl and Beth in the woods. Mika tells Tyreese how she didn't leave Lizzie. Carol gives her bag to Tyreese and offers them food and water. Tyreese tells Carol he hadn't seen her escape. She lies and says she was still looking for supplies but saw what happened at the prison. He wants to go back for her car but she says they can't go back to a graveyard. They find a sign for a sanctuary. The sign reads: "Sanctuary for all. Community for all. Those who arrive survive." There is a map and a location is marked called Terminus. Is this the same sanctuary Daryl heard a woman talk about over the radio?
Maggie, Sasha, and Bob
Maggie is sharpening her knife on a rock. Bob is smiling. He apologizes to Sasha. She says she gets it, he's alive. He tells her he thinks Tyreese could have made it. She says they don't know that. Sasha wants to camp there for the night. Maggie says the bus got out and Glenn got out. She is going to go off by herself with just a knife. She is going to go get him and come back for them. She goes off. Bob follows her. Sasha follows them. They are walking down a road. Sasha says they should be looking for food and shelter not Glenn. Bob says there is more to life than surviving. They survived for a reason. They find the bus. It looks empty. Maggie runs to the bus. She looks in the windows and zombies reach out from them. She tells Sasha that they should go. She goes to open the door and Sasha tries to stop her. She needs to know if Glenn is in there. Bob says they will help. They will let them out one at a time. She will kill them once she sees there faces. She kills zombie after zombie but no Glenn. The zombies push out past Sasha. Sasha and Bob start killing zombies. Maggie is in a trance. She snaps out of it and starts killing zombies. She beats a zombie against the bus and kills it. Still no Glenn. Maggie climbs in the bus. There is blood everywhere. She hears a zombie sound coming from underneath some bodies. She climbs over a seat and opens the door and pushes a body out. The zombie stands up and she kills it. She sits and cries. None of the walkers was Glenn.
Glenn
Glenn wakes up. He is on some building with a bunch of zombies underneath reaching up for him. He is still at the prison. He must have gone back for Maggie. He calls out to Maggie. The walkway in front of him has collapsed. He has a gun but the prison must also be filled with zombies. He goes in and grabs a lantern. He makes his way down a hallway, all is quiet. He walks into a cell block. Smoke is pouring in. No one is there. He looks in his room but finds no one. He pulls some riot gear out from under the bed. He lies down on the bed. He sees the picture he took of Maggie sleeping. He holds it in his hands and cries. He grabs the pocket watch and then starts gathering supplies from the rooms. He steps out into the yard wearing the riot gear. Zombies surround him. He pushes past them. He sees someone sitting by a stairwell. It is Tara.
Glenn makes his way to Tara. Her gun is full of bullets. He tells her they have to go. She says she was a part of this. He says he knows. He needs her help. He makes a Molotov cocktail and giver her a gun and knife. He throws the cocktail at a car and it distracts the zombies. He tells her to stay ahead of him and he will cover her. They run out together killing zombies. They make it out of the prison running. They come to the same road that Maggie was on. He asks if he saw any of the prison group escape. She tells him how she saw her sister get surrounded by zombies. She did it for Brian (aka the Governor) and he killed that old man. Glenn asks if the old man was named Hershel. She says yes and that she is sorry. He needs her so he can find Maggie, his wife. He doesn't know if Maggie made it. He tells her Hershel was a great man and that all he had to do was believe. They survived when they shouldn't so now she is going to help him. Zombies approach them. He starts to slay them. Tara helps him kill the zombies. Glenn gasps for air and collapses. She kills a zombie that tried to grab her. She hits it repeatedly with her rifle. She turns around and sees an armored truck. She yells at the truck, "Hope you enjoyed the show, assholes!" Three people come out. The man with a mustache says "You gotta damn mouth on you, you know that? What else you got?"

Final Thoughts
- Theme for this episode: Hope (Beth, Glenn, and Maggie)
- I'm concerned about Daryl's lack of response. He spent days looking for Sophia but now he seems to think there is no point. If he completely shuts down they will not survive for long. Beth doesn't have zombie fighting skills. Most of her responsibility at the prison was taking care of Judith and occasionally singing a song.
- If Carol hadn't come along I think Lizzie would have smothered Judith. That girl is cray cray.
- What will happen between Tyreese and Carol when he finds out that she killed Karen? The truth will come out eventually. For the moment he needs her, but what will happen if they find sanctuary in Terminus?
- The original name for Atlanta was Terminus because it was at the end of several railway routes. Is there more to the name than the historical reference? An end to just surviving? The end of any kind of peace and real life?
- How creepy was Bob's smiling? It seemed to me like the smile of an insane person.
- Steven Yeun and Lauren Cohan really killed it in this episode. Awards for everybody!
- The new characters introduced at the end of the episode are from the comics. They are Abraham Ford, Rosita Espinosa, and Eugene Porter.
