The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 15: Us

Glenn

Eugene talking about how some think the zombie virus killed the dinosaurs. Tara picks up a penny from the train tracks and gives it to Eugene.  He goes on talking about video games. Later on that night Abraham sits next to Tara. She tells him to go to sleep. He says he won't leave Eugene's life in her hands. He will go with them until he finds a new vehicle. He tells her she needs to sleep. He hasn't seen her sleep yet. He thought it was because she was in love with Glenn until he noticed how she looked down Rosita's shirt during dinner. He asks if it was something she did or didn't do. It was something she did.  She says they both have their missions. What will he do when the mission is over? No response. The next morning they stumble upon one of the signs Maggie left for Glenn. Glenn runs down the tracks with a big smile on his face. Maggie's alive!

Abraham tells them they are going to stop at this spot.  "Tired is slow.  Slow is dead." They all need to rest. He understands Glenn needs to find Maggie but Abraham has a mission too they are there to protect Eugene.  He says they will go rest in the tower.  A zombie comes out from the second floor of the tower and falls towards them. Tara hurts her leg but says she can go on. Rosita says that Tara will do anything Glenn says because she thinks she owes him. Glenn  makes a deal with Abraham.  If they keep going until sun down Glenn will give his riot gear to Eugene right then and there.  Abraham accepts the deal.

As they continue down the tracks they come to a tunnel.  Glenn finds another message from Maggie. It is still wet which means they are gaining on them. Abraham is apprehensive about going through the tunnel. They can hear zombies growling. He can't guarantee Eugene's safety and knows Glenn won't delay going the long way so they will part ways. Tara stays with Glenn. Abraham gives them two cans of food an a flashlight. Glenn apologizes for hitting Abraham in the face. Abraham is not sorry he likes to fight. Rosita gives each of them a hug. Eugene says they are both good people. He tells Tara that she is hot. She replies that she likes girls. He says he was aware of that (I doubt it). Abraham says that if it gets too dangerous they are doubling back to the last road they were on. Glenn tells Tara he knows what she is going through. When this all started he was numb all day long. She says she knew the Governor's idea of raiding the prison was bad. She found her girlfriend dead and saw her sister get swarmed by zombies.  The worst thing she saw was the death of Hershel. That's when she knew. The Guv told them they might have to kill people and she was the first to volunteer. She says, "I was just hanging on the might."

They find zombies reaching out from a pile of rubble. Glenn looks at their faces but none of them is Maggie, Sasha or Bob. Tara says the blood is still wet which means the collapse happened today. Glenn starts stabbing the zombies in the head. Tara starts stomping on their heads. When they climb over they find more zombies on the other side. Too many for just the two of them. The zombies start walking towards them. Glenn looks to see of any of them are Maggie but none are, so that means Maggie made it through. Tara tells him they have to find another way. They don't have anymore ammo.

Abraham and gang are on the road where they find some cars. One of them has a zombie in it. He kills it and starts the car.  A note on the windshield reads "Let Momma Be."  Eugene and Rosita argue about who will be the navigator. Rosita gives in and tells him they are going north.

Abraham is asleep in the back of the car. Rosita accuses Eugene of being lost since they have taken three left turns.  He suddenly tells her to stop the van. They are on the railroad tracks.  They are on the tracks near where Tara and Glenn should have come out.  He says he is not leaving them behind.  "After I save the world I still need to live with myself."  Abraham wakes up and starts arguing with Rosita. Eugene tells them to stop they all turn to look.

Glenn props up the light at one end of the debris to distract the zombies as he and Tara climb over on the other side. Tara stumbles and her foot gets stuck when some debris falls on it. Glenn can't free her foot. Tara tells Glenn to go and find Maggie.  He can't help her and the zombies will get both of them. He says he is not leaving and she yells at him to go. Glenn says no and starts shooting the zombies. When he runs out of bullets he tells them to come on.  A car pulls up and a bunch of people beginning shooting the zombies dead. Glenn turns to the group and sees one of them is Maggie. They hug and she cries. They kiss. She simply says hi. I assume that Maggie was leaving another note and that is what Eugene and the others saw.

Tara walks up and Glen introduces them. Glenn says he met Tara on the road and couldn't have made it without her.  Maggie hugs her and thanks her. He tells Maggie that when Tara found out what he was doing she had to help because she is that kind of person. Sasha tells Maggie that Eugene says he knows what caused the outbreak. Glenn asks if she wants to go with them. Tara says she is going to DC. Eugene says Abraham is wrong. They are only a days walk from Terminus and they won't make it very far in their car. Sasha says she will go with them after they see Terminus. She wants to see if Tyreese is there. Bob says he will do the same.  Abraham says he will listen to Eugene. Maggie says they were swarmed by the zombie in the tunnel and she was almost out of bullets so she shot the roof and hoped for the best. As Glenn is fixing the poncho (Daryl's poncho) the picture he took of Maggie sleeping falls out.  Maggie goes to set it on fire. He won't let her burn the only picture he has of her.  She says he won't need another picture of her ever again.  He sets the picture on fire.

The group arrives at Terminus.  They open up the gates and enter.  There is a garden with food growing. They keep their weapons at the ready.  No one in sight.  They open up another gate with a sign that says they need to lower their weapons.  More gardens can be seen as well as buckets for doing laundry.  A woman stands at a grill cooking. She walks up to them and says "Hi, I’m Mary. Look’s like you've been on the road awhile. Let’s get you settled, and we'll make you a plate. Welcome to Terminus."

Daryl

Men sleeping in the woods. A zombie approaches. It runs into barbed wire set up around their campsite. It is Daryl's new group. One of them kills the zombie. One of the men says that Daryl ran off. Another points out that Daryl left all of his things. Daryl is in the woods hunting a rabbit. Another one of the men from the group comes up behind and shoots an arrow a second before Daryl shoots his. The man, Len, claims it is his rabbit. Daryl says it is his. Len says Beth has got Daryl all messed up.  He refers to Beth as a piece of tail. And then asks if she was a little one. The little ones don't last long. Daryl grabs his knife but is interrupted by Joe.  Joe says that since the other guy claimed the rabbit it belongs to him. His rule is the rule of claim. All you have to do is claim. Daryl says he won't claim anything. Joe takes the rabbit and cuts it in half.  He tells Daryl all he has to do is claim.

Joe wants to know Daryl's plan. Daryl is looking for the right place. Some of the group is not so friendly. Joe insists he needs a group.  People don't need to be friendly. They just have to follow the rules. You claim. You don't lie and you don't steal.  Daryl asks what happens if you break the rules. You get beaten. Daryl says, "There is no us". Joe asks if he is leaving. Daryl doesn't leave. Joe says than he is an us. He compares Daryl to an outdoor cat that thinks it is an indoor cat.

The group enters an abandoned building on the side of the tracks.  It has several cars in it.  The men start claiming cars.  Daryl says nothing.  All the cars get claimed.  He lies down on the floor. Len accuses Daryl of stealing the other half of the rabbit.  Daryl says he didn't take it.  Joe grabs his bag and dumps everything out. The other half of the rabbit falls out.  Daryl accuses Len of putting it there.  Len says that Daryl lied and stole and that is breaking the rules.  Joe says if Len put the rabbit there it would disappoint him.  Joe punches Len and tells the other to beat him.  Joe saw Len plant the rabbit.  Joe says that Daryl told the truth and followed the rules while the Len didn't. Daryl understands the rules while Len doesn't.

The next morning Daryl wakes up and sees blood on the floor where they beat Len. When they go outside he sees Len lying dead with an arrow through his head. He goes to cover him up but changes his mind. As they walk through a field Joe offers Daryl a flask. Joe says the zombiepocalypse is when things fell together for him not apart. They find a sign for Terminus. One of the men says they are getting closer. Joe says it won't be a sanctuary.  They won't welcome men like them with open arms. Joe tells him of their encounter with Rick and that they have been following him down the tracks towards Terminus. One of the men, Tony, saw Rick's face. Daryl sees some food on the side of the tracks and claims it. They walk past the candy wrapper Carl left on the tracks.

Rick, Carl, and Michonne

Rick is walking down the tracks talking about the weather when he turns and sees that Michonne and Carl are balancing on the tracks. She tries to get Carl to fall of bu she falls off herself. She loses their bet and pays up with candy bars. Carl takes a candy bar that appears to be her favorite. He offers her half. They always share.





Final Thoughts
- Glenn showed what a good guy he is by not mentioning exactly how he met Tara.  I also thinks he has forgiven her.  He also shows his moral code and loyalty towards Tara by staying with her when she is trapped in the tunnel.
- Steven Yeun mentioned on the Tallking Dead that Glenn grabbed several items belonging to his family before he left the prison.  He grabbed Rick's lighter, Daryl's poncho, and the picture of Maggie.
- It's really disconcerting how vengeful Joe and his group are that they would track Rick to exact revenge.  Especially since they broke into the house Rick was living in and had plans to rape Michonne.
- I don't believe Terminus is a sanctuary.  I get the feeling it will be worse than Woodbury.  I also found it odd that the group only encountered one person on arrival.
- I don't like how Daryl seems to be regressing to his old ways.  I felt like the minute he claimed that plant on the side of the road he was accepting his role in the new group.  I hope he finds his family soon.
- How will the situation with Rick and Joe work out?  If they meet at Terminus it could be easily defused but if they meet before Rick is in real danger.
