Glenn
Zombies reaching up for a balloon stuck on a sign. Tara is writing street names on her hand. The truck stops and three zombies approach. Abraham tells her not to fire her weapon at them. He uses a crowbar to kill two of them. He uses the butt of Tara's rifle to kill the final one. She says she has never seen anyone do that before. He responds that he saw her kill a zombie the exact same way. She points out that he was smiling while killing the zombies. He says he is the luckiest guy in the world.
Glenn wakes up in the back of the armored truck. Tara is sitting next to him. She offers him some water. He asks where they are. She says the back of the truck seemed safer than the side of the road. He asks if they passed the bus. She says yes. She says they were all dead. It's been three hours since they passed it. Glenn tells them to stop the truck. Abraham gives him the finger. Glenn starts hitting the window with his rifle. Abraham stops the truck. Glenn grabs his things and starts to walk down the road. Abraham tells him to get back in the truck. He tells them if you find people the more the better you stick with them. Abraham says the fate of the entire human race may depend on their mission. He introduces himself and Rosita and Eugene. They are on a mission to get Eugene to Washington, DC. Eugene is a scientist that knows what caused the zombiepocalypse.
Glenn asks what happened. Eugene says it's classified. Abraham says they have been talking to people in DC on a satellite phone but the last few weeks no one has answered. Abraham says they could use his help. Glenn says no thanks and walks on. Tara says she wrote down on her hands how to get back to the bus. Abraham says Glenn will never find his wife because she is gone. "Get back in the truck and do something with your life. The people we love, they disappear. it doesn't mean you have to go out that way too." he continues. Glenn punches Abraham and says Maggie is alive and he will find her. Abraham starts fighting with Glenn. Eugene notices a zombie is coming towards them. He calls out to the others but they don't listen to him. He grabs a rifle and more zombies start coming towards them from the corn field. He figures out how to shoot the gun but doesn't aim well. Abraham tells him to stop firing. Abraham pulls out his gun and starts killing zombies. The others join him, including Glenn. Eugene has shot the truck and now it it leaking fuel.
Abraham talks to Tara about how Glenn is determined and he understands why Tara follows him. She is a good person. He says saving he world is more important than looking for Maggie. How long will Glenn and Maggie live happily every after. She says she understands why Eugene is going to DC. Rosita follows Abraham because she loves him. But why is Abraham going?
Abraham is fixing the truck and telling a story about a camel. Rosita picks up Maggie's picture and asks Glenn if it belongs to him. Glenn says he is sorry about the truck and hopes they make it to Washington. He gives Abraham his gun back and Tara does the same and follows Glenn down the road. Rosita follows them with her gun. Eugene points out that the way the others are going is clear while the road ahead is unknown territory. They should follow the others until they find a new ride. Abraham should trust him because Eugene is smarter than him. They grab their things and follow Glenn down the road.
Carl, Rick, and Michonne
Carl laughs at Michonne's new shirt. It is a man's button down. She says she wishes she had some soy milk for their cereal. Carl shares how he almost threw up when he tried soy milk. He says he would rather have powdered milk instead. He continues to say he wishes he had Judith's formula but doesn't finish and runs out of the room. Michonne walks into the kitchen where Rick is cooking. He thanks her for making Carl laugh. He can't be Carl's father and best friend. She asks what is the plan. Is this place home or a stop along the way? He says they should stay there until they figure it out. She says they will need more supplies and she will go with Carl. Rick wants to go too but she points out he was unconscious yesterday. He should rest. What's one more day? Rick gives Carl his gun and tells him to follow Michonne's lead. Rick goes back inside the house and pushes the sofa against the door. He goes upstairs with a book and lies down on one of the beds.
Michonne asks Carl if he found anything good (candy bars, comic books, crazy cheese)? She offers to give him the first taste of crazy cheese. He says no thanks and she sees he doesn't seem fine. He says he is just tired. She fills her mouth with crazy cheese in an attempt to make him laugh but he just walks ahead of her. She apologizes. She's not good at making boys his age life. She says toddlers find her funny. He asks what she means by toddlers. She tells him she had a three year old son who found her extremely funny.
They enter a house in search of food, batteries, and water. Carl asks her about her son. What was his name? Did she have any other kids? Was she married? She agrees to answer his questions one room at a time, after he clears it. Michonne stares at an ugly painting of rabbits. Carl asks what her son's name was. It was Andre Anthony. He asks if she had any other children. She says no, one was enough and Andre was a handful like Carl. She keeps staring at the paintings. Carl notices a wrapped painting. He asks if it counts as something useful. She says yes. He asks how long has it been? She says it happened after everything happened. Does Rick know? She never told him or anyone until now. He says her secret is safe with him. She says it's not really a secret. He goes to clear another room. She unwraps the painting. It is of a girl but it has red and black blood splattered all over it and exes on her face. Michonne approaches the door against which the painting was leaning. She cautiously opens it. It is a bathroom. A door from the bathroom leads to a child's bedroom. It is empty. She walks in and looks around at the books. She opens another door that leads to another child's room. Inside are two adults and two children's dead bodies. She cries. It looks like the family decided to kill themselves instead of trying to survive the zombiepocalypse. She turns and sees a third body on a chair also shot in the head. Carl calls to her. He asks if everything is fine. He says maybe Judith and Andre are together somewhere. She says it is almost noon and Rick will be wondering where they are.
Rick is asleep and her hears two men arguing. It sounds like one has hurt the other. Rick reaches for his gun but realizes he gave it to Carl. He sees a man enter another room upstairs. He hides under the bed. The man enters the room and walks around looking in the closet. Rick's hand is shaking. He holds his watch as the man walks up to the bed. We see blood on his shoes. The man gets on the bed and falls asleep. Another man comes upstairs. He wants to lie down on this bed because the other beds are kids' beds. The two men start to fight. On gets knocked to the ground a foot away from Rick. He is unable to say anything since the other man is choking him. The man passes out. The other man lies back down on the bed and falls asleep. Rick hears others in the house making noise. Rick slips out from under the bed. A man from downstairs calls up to the other two. Rick runs into another room as the man makes his way upstairs. The man enters the room Rick is hiding in. He bounces a ball against the window by Rick's face. He doesn't see Rick and walks out of the room. Rick tries to open the windows but they are stuck. The men are arguing. Rick grabs a trophy to use as a weapon. One of the men has found Michonne's shirt. Rick hides in a bathroom but one of the men is there. They fight. Rick uses the strap from the man's gun to strangles him to death. Rick now has a gun.
Rick opens up the bathroom window. He opens the door a little bit setting a zombie trap for the dead man's friends (that's what they get for breaking in to the house Rick broke into first). He slowly climbs out onto the roof with the gun in his hand. He puts on a jacket and lowers himself over the side of the house. He carefully makes his way around the house with his gun at the ready. The front door opens and the man bouncing the ball comes out. Rick sneaks a peak to the porch. The man walks right by where he is hiding. He eats from a can. Rick sees Carl and Michonne coming back towards the house. He goes to jump up and is interrupted by shouts from inside the house. It sounds like the zombie Rick left for them woke up. The man goes inside and Rick is able to run to Carl and Michonne.
Michonne, Carl and, Rick are walking along the tracks. Carl offers Michonne the crazy cheese. Rick notices something on a train. Michonne asks what he thinks and he says lets go. It is another sign for sanctuary.
Final thoughts
- The intruder eating peaches is actor Jeff Kober. You've probably seen him play a bad guy in many a TV show.
- Tara gets some points for writing down street names so Glenn could go look for the bus. I still don't quite like her but this act of kindness for Glenn means I'm on the road to accepting her as part of the gang.
- Eugene seems like an assertive version of Milton. We'll see what his personality turns out to be. Now I miss Milton.
