1Days Gone Bye
31 Oct 2010
Description ▼We open on an empty intersection. The camera pulls back to reveal an overturned car and truck. A sheriff's cruiser pulls up and out steps Rick Grimes. The uniformed man cautiously examines the scene before approaching a gas station. More abandoned cars. Laundry. Baby dolls. Makeshift camp sites. A dead woman rots in one of the cars.Grimes, who carries a gasoline canister, is looking for gas -- but a sign at the station reveals that there is none left. Suddenly, he spots a shambling figure in bunny bath slippers. It is a young girl. "Don't be afraid," Grimes says. She turns -- a ZOMBIE! Grimes pulls his gun ... and blows her brains out. Welcome to the apocalypse.FLASHBACK: Rick and his partner Shane discuss the differences between men and women while eating lunch in their cruiser. Rick talks of his wife Lori and son Carl. Apparently, the couple had a fight the night before. "It's like she's pissed at me all the time and I don't know why," Rick explains to Shane. The pair then gets an urgent call.A weaving car is being chased by cop cars. Rick and his men set up a roadblock. The weaving car swerves and FLIPS over and over before coming to stop in an adjacent field. Two bloodied men emerge from the wreck with their guns drawn. They FIRE. Rick is hit. The officers return fire and quickly take the two men down. Rick, who is wearing a bulletproof vest and has only been winged, believes it is all over. He stands up ... and is SHOT again. Turns out there is a third armed man in the wrecked car. Shane raises his shotgun and BLOWS the man away. He then turns his attention to Rick, who is BADLY injured. It doesn't look good.CUT to the hospital. We see events from Rick's hazy point of view. Shane visits with flowers. Time passes ... but how much time? Sometime later, Rick awakes. The flowers are dead. The clock has stopped. He tries to move, but his legs have atrophied. He falls. "Nurse, help!" Rick cries. No answer. Rick manages to stumble into the hallway ... and discovers a complete mess. Gurneys, papers and equipment are strewn everywhere.Worse: a hospital employee appears lying dead on the floor appears to have been almost completely devoured. A set of double doors, meanwhile, has been chained shut with the scrawled warning: "Don't open. Dead inside." Rick wisely backs away from the doors, which begin to bulge and shake. Something wants out. Rick retreats to a darkened room with a flight of stairs heading down. Using only a match to light his way, Rick eventually finds an exit door ... and is blinded by the light of the day. Outside, dozens and dozens of dead and rotting bodies are wrapped in hospital sheets. Rick is HORRIFIED.Rick stumbles away from the hospital, finds a bicycle and races home. "Lori!" he cries. "Carl!" But the house is empty. Its occupants are long gone. Crying, Rick walks outside. Something approaches him from behind -- slowly. It's a non-zombie boy! The boy, Duane, swings a shovel and knocks Rick to the ground. The boy's father, Morgan, then rushes up -- and notices that Rick isn't a zombie, after all. Rick passes out from the blow.For the second time that day, Rick wakes up in a bed unsure of his surroundings. He is tied to a bed inside a suburban home. "Did you get bit -- maybe scratched?" Morgan asks. Rick explains that he has "only" been shot. The trio then sits down for dinner and Morgan explains that the streets are crawling with "walkers." The process: bites kill you, a subsequent fever "burns you out" and, then, "after awhile, you come back." Duane then looks out the window at the walking dead -- and spots his mother! He cries ... and Morgan does his best to comfort his son. "She died in the other room in that bed over there," he explains to Rick. "I should've put her down ... I just didn't have it in me."The next morning, Rick returns to his home with Morgan and Duane. He notices that all the family photo albums are gone. Rick theorizes that his family fled after packing up their personal belongings. Duane says they probably headed to Atlanta, where the center for disease control and prevention is located. The trio then head to the police station to take hot showers (the station has its own propane supply) and collect weapons and ammo.Rick then says goodbye to Morgan and Duane, who take their supplies to a nearby Jeep. Rick hangs around just long enough to SHOOT a zombie deputy he once knew before driving away in his squad car. Destination: Atlanta. First, though, Rick stops at an area park to put a female zombie -- cut in half and crawling pathetically -- out of her misery. "I'm sorry this happened to you," Rick says through tears. He shoots her in the head.Meanwhile, Morgan and Duane return home. Dad tells his son to wait downstairs before heading to the upstairs bedroom. There, Morgan takes aim at zombies in the street with a scoped rifle. He shoots two ... before spotting his wife. Shaking, Morgan takes aim ... but can't bring himself to pull the trigger. Zombie Mom shambles away. Morgan weeps.Sometime later, Rick uses his police radio to see if anybody responds. Unbeknownst to Rick, a group of survivors does hear Rick's message (he can't hear their answer). It turns out that the group, which has made a camp in a field, includes Shane, Lori and Carl! Lori tells the group that they should've set up a roadside sign warning people against going to Atlanta, which is apparently crawling with zombies and completely unsafe. Shane tells her that they simply don't have time. She storms off to a tent. Shane enters to talk her down ... and the two end their conversation with a passionate kiss. Uh oh.CUT to Rick, who comes upon a farmhouse where the inhabitants decided to shoot themselves rather than live in a zombie-infested world. Rick, who is looking for gas, spots a horse in the yard. He decides to ditch his cruiser and ride the steed. "Go easy, OK?" he tells the animal. "I haven't done this for years." Riding the horse, Rick soon approaches Atlanta. The city is seemingly empty -- save for crashed cars, empty Army helicopters and burned-out buses. Sure enough, zombies begin to appear.Suddenly, Rick hears the sound of a helicopter. He spurs the horse to follow it -- and turns a corner into a side street PACKED with zombies. Quickly turning around, Rick flees -- and runs into another horde. The sheriff is pulled from his horse, which quickly becomes zombie feed. Rick then crawls underneath an Army tank and begins SHOOTING wildly. He then notices a hatch in the bottom of the tank and pulls himself into the belly of the steel beast, SLAMMING the hatch shut behind him. He crawls up against a seemingly dead soldier, and takes his gun. While looking away, the soldier comes to zombie life; Rick shoots him in the head just in time. Safe ... for now.Inside the tank, Rick can hear the undead swarming all over the vehicle. He is despondent when, suddenly, a voice crackles over the tank radio. "Hey you, dumbass," the voice says. "You in the tank? Cozy in there?" Rick's eyes go wide. Who is that?Until next time, what is left of America ...

07 Nov 2010
Description ▼We open at a familiar survivor camp. Lori announces that she is "heading out" -- and tells Carl to stick close to Dale. "If you see anything, holler," Dale demands. "I'll come running." So Lori heads into nearby woods to search for provisions. She hears a rustling. Nothing. She continues. More rustling. Nothing -- again. Lori is about to panic when ...Shane appears OUT OF NOWHERE and drags her to the ground. They immediately begin to strip off their clothes. Shane momentarily stops when he sees Lori's pendant. She removes it -- and the two get back to making wild love in the grass.Meanwhile, Lori's husband, sheriff Rick, remains trapped in a tank in the middle of Atlanta. Zombies swarm the military vehicle, but can't get inside. Inside, a voice comes from the radio. "Hey, you alive in there?" the voice asks. The voice then tells Rick that a side street is comparatively unpopulated by "walkers" -- and advises him to make a run for it. After a few deep breaths, Rick emerges from the top of the tank. He BASHES a zombie in the face, SHOOTS a few others and starts RUNNING. A young man suddenly appears (Rick ALMOST shoots the stranger) and diverts Rick down an alley.The pair climbs a fire escape -- and the man, the voice on the radio, introduces himself as Glenn. They climb to the roof then double back through the building to the street. With zombies hot on their heels, Rick and Glenn make it to a department store, where a band of survivors await. One of the survivors, Andrea, is FURIOUS at Rick for firing his gun and attracting the undead. "You just rang the dinner bell," she says. Sure enough, a horde of zombies has assembled at the entrance to the store. Suddenly, the group hears SHOTS.They sprint to the roof -- and find Dixon shooting his rifle. T-Dog, who is black, accuses Dixon of wasting bullets. Dixon immediately uses the N-word -- as if he were just waiting for an opportunity -- and the two immediately come to blows. It ends with Dixon pointing a gun at T-Dog and declaring himself superior. "Anybody else?" the racist asks. Rick answers in the affirmative -- and BASHES Dixon in the face with a rifle. Rick then cuffs Dixon to a pipe ... the tosses the keys off the roof. Dixon HOWLS with rage.Later, Rick suggests the group head for the sewers. Survivor Jacqui, who used to work in the city zoning office, explains that the building should have an access point in the basement. Glenn volunteers to head into the hole to scope out the situation -- and takes a flashlight and fellow survivor Morales with him. In the meantime, T-Dog and Dixon trade insults on the roof while the former tries to get somebody -- anybody -- on the radio. "It's nothing personal," Dixon says. "You're kind and my kind just weren't meant to mix." T-Dog shakes his head -- and refuses Dixon's request to give him a hacksaw.Glenn and Morales soon return from their sewer trip -- and explain that a steel grate blocks any chance of exit through the sewer. Even worse: the zombies outside have busted through the first set of glass doors. Only one final set of doors keeps them from entering the department store. So what now? Rick suggests a distraction. Andrea explains that the undead can smell the living. Apparently, their odor is distinct.The plan: chop up a dead body of a security guard and smear his blood and guts on their bodies. -- thus, smelling like a zombie. It's as disgusting as it sounds, but the survivors get the job done with a big axe and rubber gloves. Glenn vomits. "Do we smell like them?" Rick asks. Says Andrea with a grimace: "Oh, yeah." Rick then tosses T-Dog a key to Dixon's cuffs (an extra set he had stowed in his pocket) and heads outside with Glenn.Amazingly, the two blend in, passing zombies who sniff them before turning their undead attentions elsewhere. The other survivors watch from the roof. Unfortunately, storm clouds are gathering above. It's going to rain ... and possibly cleanse Rick and Glenn! T-Dog, meanwhile, continues to try to contact people on the radio. Although he doesn't know it, Shane's group of survivors can hear the calls -- barely. "He said a department store," Lori says. As it turns out, Andrea is the big sister to Amy, who is traveling with Shane, Lori, Carl, Dale and others. Andrea volunteered to go to Atlanta to get help. Now, Shane tells Amy that her sis "knew the risks" -- and they won't be going after her. Amy, naturally, is FURIOUS. "You sonofabitch!" Amy tells Shane, who looks guilty as hell.Rick and Glenn, meanwhile, continue to walk through the horde of zombies. Then it begins to rain. The guts begin to wash off of the pair. The zombies begin to smell something. Uh oh. A zombie ATTACKS -- and Rick BURIES his axe in the monster's brain. "Run!" Rick screams. So they do, eventually hopping a chain-link fence. As the zombies figure out how to climb the fence, Rick and Glenn hustle to a truck at a construction site. The keys have been left inside. They gun the engine and take off.But they don't go far. Rick soon stops the truck and breaks into a nearby sports car, setting off the loud alarm. The plan: Glenn will drive the sports car to the front of the department store. The alarm will attract the zombies. Meanwhile, Rick will drive the truck to the back of the store and pick up the survivors. Glenn calls the group on the radio to tell them the details. But what about racist Dixon? "You can't leave me here!" Dixon screams. T-Dog hesitates ... but finally decides to free Dixon with the key. Alas, T-Dog trips -- and the key bounces from his hand and disappears into an open pipe. "I'm sorry!" a distraught T-Dog screams before fleeing the roof. Again, Dixon HOWLS with anger.CUT to Glenn, who plows through a horde of walkers in front of the department store -- the car alarm BLARING the entire time. CUT to Rick, who backs up to a loading dock. Morales, Jacqui, T-Dog and Andrea jump into the back of the truck. Rick notices that Dixon isn't there. "I dropped the damn key," T-Dog explains. Finally, CUT to Glenn, who RACES down an empty highway in the sports car. He lets out a triumphant YELL!So everybody has escaped (with the possible exception of Dixon) ... for this week.
3Tell It to the Frogs
14 Nov 2010
Description ▼Welcome back to zombie land ...Merle, still chained to a rooftop in Atlanta, rants and raves almost incoherently. He seems to be talking about his time in the military. After a few moments, he appears to "wake up" at the sound of zombies beating on the door to the roof. "Oh Jesus!" Merle cries. "I know I'm being punished ... I deserve it ... show me the way!" The undead moan.CUT to Rick and Morales drive though a town -- the former explaining that poor Merle has a brother named Daryl. CUT to the makeshift camp where Lori cuts Carl's hair while Shane watches. Shane promises to teach Carl how to catch frogs. "We'll feed these folks Cajun-style Kermit legs," promises sudden father-figure Shane. Suddenly, Glenn drives up in his sports car ... followed by Rick, Morales and the rest of the survivors. "Come meet everybody," Morales tells the sheriff. Andrea is united with Amy. Morales is united with his family. And, finally, Rick spots Lori and Carl. They EMBRACE.After the emotional reunion -- one Shane watches with shock and confusion -- Rick cuddles around the campfire with his wife and son. "I can't you how grateful I am to you, Shane," Rick says. If he only knew Shane and Lori had become more than buddies. T-Dog, meanwhile, wonders if Merle is still alive. He believes the lock on the rooftop door to be too strong for the walkers to break. Also: everybody in camp worries about telling brother Daryl, who is apparently away on a "hunt." He'll likely react poorly.Later, Rick cozies up to Lori in their family tent. "Baby, I really thought I would never see you again," she says. "I'm so sorry ... for everything." Yet she can't bring herself to reveal the details of her most recent affair with Shane. Rick then passionately kisses his wife. After a moment of hesitation, she kisses him back. Shane, meanwhile, sits alone. The next morning, Rick awakens and makes his way through camp -- when he hears a SCREAM. Carl has seen a zombie feasting on a dead dear. Rick, Shane, Dale and Glenn approach the monster and BEAT it to death (again) -- Dale finally decapitating it.At that moment, Daryl returns to camp. He is angry that the zombie ate the deer he shot ... and takes his revenge via crossbow on the still twitching head. Andrea and Amy wince. Shane then pulls aside Daryl and gives him the bad news: Merle didn't return from Atlanta. Rick approaches. "Your brother was a danger to us all, so I handcuffed him to a roof ... he's still there," the sheriff explains. Daryl is APOPLECTIC. He ATTACKS Rick, who -- with the help of Shane -- subdues the hillbilly. T-Dog then explains that he dropped the key down a drain. "I'm going back," Rick tells Daryl. Lori hangs her head.Shane tries to convince Rick not to go -- especially to save a jerk like Merle. "I can't let a man die," Rick says. "We left him like an animal in a trap." T-Dog and Daryl volunteer, too. Glenn reluctantly agrees to join the team. But it's not just about saving Merle. Rick explains that he dropped a bag containing valuable guns, ammunition and a walkie-talkie. The latter he can use to warn Morgan and his son Duane against heading to Atlanta. After they leave, Lori attempts to comfort Carl -- whose confidence ends up comforting her.Sometime later, Shane and Carl bond by catching frogs -- or attempting to anyway. Jacqui wonders why the women have been relegated to washing clothes. They then begin to mention things they miss about their old lives. Andrea mentions that she misses her vibrator -- and the ladies crack up. Their smiles disappear when Ed, Carol's moody husband, approaches. He tells his cowering wife that this isn't a "comedy club." Lori then reprimands Carl for leaving Dale's side, though the boy was obviously safe with Shane. After Carl leaves, Lori turns her ire on Shane. "You stay away from me -- you stay away from my son," she shouts. "My husband is back! He is alive! You are the one who told me that he died!" Shane is distraught.Meanwhile, Rick, Daryl, Glenn and T-Dog park their truck outside Atlanta. They opt to approach the heart of the city on foot. Soon, the foursome is inside the department store. Daryl SHOOTS a zombie in the brain with an arrow. Back at the camp, Ed's anger has escalated. He insults Andrea and then SLAPS Carol across the face. Shane, whose blood is already up, sprints toward Ed and proceeds to BEAT him mercilessly. Ed is little more than a blood pulp before Shane stops -- warning the wife beater that if he raises his hand to anyone in the camp, he will die. "I'll beat you to death Ed!" Shane rages. Carol screams ... and runs to her badly injured husband.Finally, the Atlanta gang arrives on the rooftop to find Merle missing ... or most of him. Turns out ol' Merle must've been able to reach the hacksaw. His severed hand remains on the roof, but the rest of Daryl's big brother has apparently managed to escape.Until next time ...

Description ▼Having returned to Atlanta to find that Merle arranged his escape - in a most ghastly way - Rick and the others decide to simply retrieve the guns and return to their camp. Glen manages to snatch the bag of guns on the street but he no sooner has it than he is kidnapped, minus the guns, by another band of survivors who were also intent on retrieving the weapons. Merle Dixon manages to take one of them hostage however and Rick tries to arrange for a prisoner exchange. Rick finds the other group's leader to be a tough negotiator. Back at the camp, everyone is worried about one of the group who seems psychologically disturbed. He's off in a field digging holes and talking to himself. He seems to have suffered from sunstroke but says he was driven to do what he did because of a dream he had. He doesn't really remember what is was all about, which proves to be unfortunate for all of them later that evening.

28 Nov 2010
Description ▼Dawn. Rick hunches on a grassy hill overlooking Atlanta. He tries to hail Morgan on the radio and warn him. "Atlanta is not what we thought," Rick urges. "Do not enter the city. It belongs to the dead now." The sheriff then gives the location of the survivors before giving up. No contact with Morgan has yet been made. Andrea, meanwhile, continues to mourn Amy, who lives dead on the camp ground. Lori approaches. "We all cared about her," Lori says. "We'll be as gentle as we can." In other words, the body must be discarded. Andrea doesn't respond. Rick tries his luck -- and Andrea points a gun at him for his efforts. "Sorry," Rick whispersthen slowly backs away.The clean-up continues. Daryl tries to drag one of the human dead into a fire, but Glenn won't allow it. The humans are to be buried -- decent like. "You left my brother for dead," Daryl growls. "You had this coming." Ouch.More bad news follows. Jim was bitten in the skirmish. He pleads with Jacqui not to tell, but she announces his wound to the camp. "I'm OK, I'm OK," Jim insists, but the bite is deep. He isn't OK. Naturally, Daryl suggests putting a pickaxe into Jim's head, but Rick protests, insisting "We don't kill the living!" Instead, Rick suggests the group head to the CDC -- on the off chance that a cure can be found. Nobody particularly likes the idea, but no one argues either.Later, Dale has a heart-to-heart conversation with Andrea. He explains that, after his wife died of cancer, he didn't care about anybody until he met Andrea and Amy. Andrea is touched. She gently lays Amy's birthday gift -- a necklace and pendant -- across the dead woman's bloody neck. Carol, in the meantime, volunteers to sink a pickaxe into the head of her (abusive) dead husband. She does so -- and then does it again and again. Something tells us that Carol is working out past frustrations.Suddenly, Amy opens her eyes. Is she alive?! Not exactly. "Amy, I'm sorry I always thought there would be more time," Andrea whispers. Before Amy can bite into her sibling, Andrea puts a gun to her temple. "I love you," she whispers before shooting undead Amy through the brain.Later, Shane questions Rick's decision to leave the group and attempt to rescue Merle. It appears a power struggle between the longtime friends could be brewing. But there's no time for a pissing match now. The group gathers to bury its dead (in spite of Daryl's repeated objections) -- and Rick makes a promise to his boy: "I won't leave again ... not for anything." Lori, meanwhile, questions the logic of going to the CDC on a "hunch." A decision will have to be made quickly, however. Poor Jim is looking terrible. The sick man coughs and spits into a bucket. Lori eventually opts to support her husband, telling Shane that they should trust Rick's "gut." Shane is visibly disappointed.Later, Rick and Shane strike out into the woods to search for zombies. They argue over the best course of action. Shane is obviously upset for reasons (his affair with Lori in Rick's absence) that he doesn't mention. The two then split up in search of the undead. From a distance, Shane points his gun at his friend, but doesn't fire. The next morning, Rick tries Morgan again on the radio, explaining his plan to head to the CDC. Again, Morgan doesn't answer. Shane, meanwhile, explains how the caravan will work when Morales announces that he won't be coming. Instead, the survivor and his family will go to Alabama, where they have kin. "I have to do what's best for my family," he explains.So everybody minus the Morales family climb into cars, trucks and a camper and drive. In the back of the RV, Jim moans in pain. Naturally, they don't get far before the camper overheats. Shane volunteers to ride ahead to a gas station and see if a replacement part can be found. Rick then visits Jim, who asks to die. "I want this," he says. "Leave me here it's my decision." Moments later, the group carries Jim to a nearby tree. Rick offers Jim a pistol, but the sick man refuses it. They then leave Jim to the elements.Cut to a flickering video feed. A man introduces himself as Jenner, who drinks from a CDC coffee mug. He lives underground and searches for a cure -- but there has been no progress. End of transmission.We then see Jenner, wearing a full contamination suit, studying samples of the undead flesh and listening to classical music. The man is exhausted -- and he accidently knocks over a test tube. Alarm bells begin to sound. Jenner hustles to the door and it slams shut behind him. Suddenly, the lab room bursts into flames. A robotic voice announces that "decontamination is complete." Jenner hangs his head. His fresh samples have just been destroyed. No more tests. Still no cure.Later, Jenner drinks wine. "I think tomorrow I'm going to blow my brains out," he says into a monitor. "But tonight I'm getting drunk." The camera pulls back to reveal that Jenner is alone in a vast and high-tech underground facility. Outside, the land around the CDC is littered with corpses -- hundreds of them. The group of horrified survivors weaves through the bodies toward the door. Inside, Jenner spots the survivors on a security monitor. He is shocked. Rick looks into the camera and begs for help. Jenner hesitates, struggling with how to respond to the survivors' plea... and then finallly opens the door from the inside.

05 Dec 2010
Description ▼Having been allowed into the CDC building, the survivors meet Dr. Edwin Jenner who appears to be the only survivor in the facility. There is plenty of food and drink and the surroundings are comfortable. A drunken Shane tries to reconcile with Lori Grimes, but she will have nothing to do with it. Dr. Jenner shows them how the infection works to reanimates a dead corpse but admits that he hasn't been able to make any advance on defeating it. Despair sets in at the realization that there is no cure for the plague that has enveloped them. Jenner has his own plans for the future leaving the survivors only a few minutes to leave the facility. Not everyone chooses to leave however.
1What Lies Ahead
16 Oct 2011
Description ▼Atlanta. The city is mostly empty ... save for the walkers. Rick is on the roof of a building and talking to Morgan via walkie-talkie (Morgan, of course, may or may not actually be listening). "The CDC was a dead end," the sheriff says. "We're moving on." Rick tells Morgan that Dr. Jenner "Told me something...he told me..." and further continues the tease of whatever the Dr. whispered into Rick's ear before fleeing the CDC. Turns out the gang of survivors is heading to Fort Benning -- 125 miles away. The caravan consists of Daryl on a motorcycle and everybody else in a truck and RV. While Rick and Lori reminisce about a past family road trip to the Grand Canyon, Shane helps Andrea put together her gun, which was a gift from her father. The group soon runs into a snag when the entire road is blocked by cars filled with dead bodies. The caravan carefully snakes in and out of traffic when the RV suddenly breaks down.So the survivors have to stop -- at least momentarily. They decide to take advantage of the situation by scavenging for food and supplies. "This is a graveyard," Lori says. "I don't know how I feel about this." Shane feels great about it, especially after he discovers a truck full of water cooler tanks. He takes an impromptu shower. Rick then notices a walker some miles down the road through the scope on his rifle ... then another ... and another ... and another six dozen. Very quickly but quietly, Rick urges the scavenging survivors to hide under the vehicles as the zombies shuffle past within a few very intense moments.Unfortunately, T-Dog cuts his arm on a car, causing it to bleed profusely. In the meantime, Andrea is inside the RV and quickly hides in restroom as a zombie wanders inside. She tries desperately to remember how to put her gun together ... and drops the pieces. Hearing the noise, the zombie bursts into the bathroom. Dale, who's been hiding on the roof of the RV, drops a screwdriver down to Andrea who violently stabs the walker in the eye, killing it. Outside, a walker approaches T-Dog, who is on the verge of losing consciousness. Suddenly, Daryl appears and silently stabs the monster in the brain stem. He then pulls a few corpses over himself and T-Dog until the zombies pass by.Seemingly safe, Sophia begins climbing out from under a car. Big mistake. A zombie appears and gives chase. She runs into the nearby woods and Rick follows. Two walkers chase Sophia but Rick manages to find her first and pleads with her to hide under a fallen tree in a stream. He tells her that he will draw the zombies away and that she is to run back toward the road once that happens. Rick explains that he can't shoot, or ALL the zombies on the road will hear. Well, the two zombies take the bait and pursue Rick, who hides behind a tree with a giant rock. He gets the best of the walkers, pounding their skulls with the rock when they pass.Later, Sophia is discovered to have gone missing. Rick, Shane, Daryl, and Glenn find her tracks, which suddenly -- and without reason -- veer left and away from the road. Rick and Daryl press on while Shane and Glenn return to the road to try to calm everybody else. Carl finds a bag of axes and knives and proudly shows them to Shane, who curtly dismisses the boy. When confronted by Lori, he explains that he is going to "quietly slip away first chance I get." No longer can he stay anywhere near Lori. It hurts too much. Back in the woods, Daryl kills a walker with a crossbow. Rick notices that the zombie has flesh in its teeth. But what kind of flesh? Only one way to find out. So Daryl opens up the walker's stomach and pulls out its contents. It's absolutely disgusting, but productive. The zombie has only had a woodchuck for dinner. "At least we know," Rick quips.Rick and Daryl then return to the road and try to calm Carol, who is near hysterical. "How could you just leave her there to begin with!" Carol cries. Rick explains that leaving Sophia alone was his only option but that they'll have to wait till morning to continue searching. The next morning, Daryl organizes the search party and reluctantly agrees to take along Carl who asserts that he's her friend and can help. Andrea, meanwhile, confronts Dale about the incident at the CDC. "I didn't want your blood on my hands and that's the only reason I left that building," Andrea says. She is angry that Dale did not let her choose death. He is speechless -- hurt and confused. So is Carl, who is once again rebuffed by a sullen Shane. The search party then heads into the woods and comes upon a tent. Inside is the rotting corpse of a man who has committed suicide. Daryl quickly pockets the dead man's gun.Suddenly, the group hears bells ringing in the distance. They follow the noise to a pristine white church surrounded by a graveyard. Rick and Daryl burst inside to zombies sitting quietly in the church pews. It's incredibly creepy. Rick, Shane, and Daryl then slice and dice the inhabitants. Glenn, in the meantime, discovers that the bells are automated. "They're on a timer," gasps a disappointed Daryl. The group decides to take a breather and Andrea overhears Shane arguing with Lori about leaving. By the end of the conversation, Andrea knows that a) Shane and Lori had a thing and b) that Shane intends to leave without telling anyone. Lori storms inside the church. Afterwards, Shane turns and spots Andrea. He knows that she now knows his big secret.Inside the church, Carol prays to Jesus that her daughter be returned safe. "Please, Lord, punish me however you want, but show mercy on her," the desperate mother finishes. Outside, Andrea tells Shane that she wants to go with him when he bolts. "All I care about is getting out of here," Andrea says. "I'm not asking you to go steady. I'm asking you for a ride ... think it over." The group then decides to split up. Rick, Shane, and Carl will stay behind and search around the church. The others will head back to the road. Daryl gives his spare gun -- the dead man's weapon -- to Lori before she departs.Now it is Rick's turn to pray. He asks for a sign that he is doing the "right thing." "I don't need all the answers ... any sign will do," he tells the silent Jesus statue. In the meantime, the other survivors stop for a water break on their way back to the road. Lori confronts Andrea about giving her dirty looks because she has a gun, so she offers it up. She then tells Carol and everyone else to stop blaming Rick for what happened to Sophia and all their other troubles. The man isn't perfect, after all. Andrea, seemingly contrite, gives Lori the gun back and they all continue on their way.Back in the woods, Rick, Carl, and Shane come across a male deer which stops to look at them. Carl approaches the deer curiously while Rick and Shane look on with adoration. Could this be the sign Rick prayed for? Just as Carl gets within arm's reach, a shot rings out. The bullet goes through the deer, killing it, and hits Carl in the chest. Rick screams and runs to his son who lies motionless on the ground.To be continued ...

Description ▼FLASHBACK! Lori confides in a friend that she and Rick had a big fight the night before. "Do you still love Rick?" asks the friends. Lori clearly isn't entirely sure. Suddenly, Shane pulls up with bad news: Rick has been hurt. He is in surgery. Lori tries to keep herself together as the school bell rings. Carl emerges from the school and Lori breaks the news to the boy, who immediately begins to cry. They embrace.CURRENT DAY! Rick runs, carrying a seemingly lifeless Carl in his arms. Shane drags the man who shot Carl, an overweight and apologetic fella named Otis. Otis tells Rick to head to a nearby farmhouse and talk to a man named Hershel. "Hershel will help your boy!" Otis screams. Rick runs to the farmhouse, explains that Otis shot the boy and watches as Hershel, apparently a doctor, springs into action. Carl has a heartbeat ... barely. Shane soon arrives and wipes blood off his longtime boss and friend. Rick is distraught. Otis is distraught. Hershel thinks he MIGHT be able to save the boy.The rest of the survivors, meanwhile, continue to "beat the bush" in an attempt to find Sophia. Lori heard the gunshot earlier -- and worries that Rick and Carl are somehow involved. Back at the road, Dale and T-Dog wait. T-Dog's wound appears to be severely infected. "You could die from blood poisoning!" Dale says. "We need to find you some antibiotics." They decide to search all the surrounding cars. Rick, in the meantime, is called inside the farmhouse to give blood. Carl SCREAMS in pain before passing out. Hershel is able to extract a bullet fragment. "One down, five to go," Hershel sighs.Later, Rick is frantic. He wants to find Lori so she can be there with Carl. Shane talks his friend down. He then recalls how Lori reacted when Rick was in the hospital with a gunshot wound. "The strength of that woman ... you can't imagine," Shane tells Rick. Hershel then enters the room and explains that Carl needs full-fledged surgery. Hershel needs equipment that might be at a nearby high school, where a FEMA shelter was set up. Unfortunately, the place is likely overrun by walkers. Otis, feeling responsible, volunteers to accompany Shane to the high school to retrieve the needed supplies.Back at the road, Dale and T-Dog have struck out. "No drugs," Dale says. T-Dog then begins to tell Dale that they've been left behind because they're the "weak ones." T-Dog then comments that Daryl, a "redneck," has never forgiven him for Merle's fate. "If I'm not mistaken, that redneck went out of his way to save your ass," Dale says. T-Dog suggests that he and Dale strike out on their own. Dale is aghast. He then feels T-Dog's forehead. The man is BURNING up. "Where the hell are they?" wonders a worried Dale.Andrea, meanwhile, is searching the woods for Sophia when she is ATTACKED by a walker. She SCREAMS. Suddenly, Maggie Hershel rides into the woods on a horse and BASHES the walker in the head. Andrea is saved. "There's been an accident," Maggie tells Lori. "Carl's been shot!" Lori jumps onto the horse with Maggie, who gives the rest of the gang directions to the nearby farmhouse before riding away. Back at the farmhouse, Hershel explains to Rick that his wife and stepson were lost to the plague. His daughters, Maggie and Beth, survived. "These people here, all we've got left is each other," Hershel says. "Just hope we can ride it out in peace until there's a cure." And Hershel believes that there WILL be a cure. "It's nature correcting itself -- restoring some balance," he says. Rick is skeptical. Just then, Maggie and Lori ride up to the farmhouse. Lori runs inside to her sleeping and sick boy. Mom and dad cry softly together.Later, Rick gives more blood to his son. Lori then begins asking questions of Hershel, who reveals that he is actually a veterinarian. "And you've done this surgery before on what? Cows? Pigs?!" Lori demands. "You're completely in over your head, aren't you?" Responds Hershel: "Ma'am, aren't we all?" Shane and Otis, meanwhile, arrive at the high school. It is indeed crawling with zombies. Uh oh. Back at the road, Daryl and Dale explain that they'll stay with the RV in case Sophia returns. Dale then explains that T-Dog might not survive if he doesn't get some antibiotics. Daryl casually hands over a bag full of pills -- apparently Merle's old "stash." Once again, the redneck comes through.Hershel, meanwhile, explains to Rick and Lori that Carl doesn't have much time. He will need to operate soon if the boy is to have any chance at all. At the high school, Shane and Otis find flares in the back of a cop car and toss them into the parking lot to try to draw the walkers away from the medical trailer. It works -- and the two humans race inside to find the surgical supplies. They load up their backpacks and exit ... to find zombie nation waiting. Shane and Otis make a run for it -- and barricade themselves inside the school. It appears they have failed in their mission to get the supplies back to Hershel. Have they?To be continued ...
3Save the Last One
30 Oct 2011
Description ▼Sophia is still missing. Carl is still ailing. It's not a good time to be a kid during the zombie apocalypse. CUT to Shane and Otis, who are running through the hallways of a school overrun by walkers. Rick, meanwhile, assures Lori that Shane will return with what Hershel needs to operate on Carl. Lori doesn't appear completely convinced.CUT to Daryl, who is camped out with Andrea and a weeping Carol. Feeling sympathetic, Daryl offers to take a walk in the middle of the night to search for Sophia. Andrea volunteers to come along. "Are you sure this is the best idea?" asks Dale. Naturally, everybody ignores the voice of reason. Back at the school, Otis and Shane are trapped at the top of the gymnasium bleachers. Otis makes a run for it in one direction while Shane runs toward a window in the opposite direction. He SHOOTS a zombie in the face at point blank range before falling multiple stories to the ground. He limps away.Sometime later, T-Dog and Glenn show up at the Hershel farm house and meet Maggie on the front porch. Glenn appears love struck. CUT to Daryl, who explains to Andrea that he once disappeared into the woods for nine days as a child. The point: Sophia might just be OK. Andrea isn't convinced. Back at the farm, Hershel announces that they might have to operate on Carl without the respirator as the boy is fading fast. "Maybe this is how it's supposed to be," Lori tells her husband, who refuses to believe that Carl is better off dead -- regardless of the current world order. Lori brings up Jackie, who chose death. Was Jackie right? "I don't accept that," Rick says. "I can't accept that." But why? Rick can't explain himself when pressed to explain why Carl would be better off living.Shane, in the meantime, is about to overcome by walkers when a SHOT rings out, exploding some zombie heads. It's Otis -- and he has saved Shane's bacon. Back at the farmhouse, Carl wakes up and is suddenly lucid. "Where are we?" Carl asks. "It hurts." Lori strokes her boy's head as he talks about the pretty deer -- and then goes completely still. Lori gasps -- and then the boy undergoes a violent seizure. "His brain isn't getting enough blood," Hershel explains. Rick offers his arm for the umpteenth time.Later, Daryl and Andrea sneak through the dark woods and come upon a campsite. They find a walker hanging by his neck from a tree. Poor guy tried to commit suicide before "turning," but forgot to shoot himself in the head. Animals have munched on the swinging zombie's legs. "He made his choice," Daryl says. "Let him hang." Andrea confesses that she doesn't know if she wants to live or if it's "just a habit." Daryl then honors her request to show mercy and SHOOTS the walker in the head with an arrow.Back at the farm house, T-Dog gets stitched up by Patricia while Maggie catches Glenn praying. "This is my first try," says Glenn with a dispirited laugh. Maggie notes that quite a few prayers have gone unanswered as of late. Dale, meanwhile, has decided to ignore his own good advice and go searching for Andrea and Daryl by himself. He approaches the edge of the highway -- and then stops, uncertain of how to proceed. CUT to Rick, who earnestly tells his wife that Carl's moment of lucidness is a message. "He talked about the deer, Lori!" Rick says. In other words, he focused on life rather than death. Otis and Shane, in the meantime, continue to fight for their lives outside the school. Hurry, boys.CUT to Hershel, who demands that Lori and Rick make a choice. Operate or let Carl slip away? "We do it," she says through tears. Carl is put on a table and the good doctor picks up his scalpel. Right before he is about to make the first incision, Shane ROARS up to the front door in a pickup truck. Rick hugs his friend, who is clearly very, very shaken. He admits to having left the slower Otis behind in order to return as quickly as he did. Back at the road, Dale doesn't have to go out into the woods, after all, as Andrea and Daryl return (without Sophia). "The choices I made for you were not mine to make," says Dale, handing over Andrea's gun to her. "Please, don't make me regret this." Does Andrea forgive Dale? She is trying. Back at the farm house, Maggie weeps over the apparent loss of Otis -- and the loss of all her family and friends. Glenn comforts her.Later, Hershel emerges onto the front porch and tells Lori and Rick that Carl has undergone surgery -- and appears to have stabilized. Lori and Rick weep. Their boy is going to be OK. Hershel now must turn his attention to breaking the bad news to Patricia, who nearly falls over when told that Otis did not make it back. Shane can barely watch the scene. He walks into Carl's recovery room to find Lori crying over her boy. The two former lovers look at each other. "Stay," Lori pleads. Shane says nothing. He walks slowly to the shower and examines his wounds. A tuft of hair has apparently been pulled out of this head. FLASHBACK to Shane and Otis limping away from a wild pack of zombies. Suddenly, Shane uses his last bullet to SHOOT Otis in the leg. Screaming, Otis latches onto Shane and pulls out a chunk of his hair. After a furious struggle, Shane escapes, leaving Otis behind as a distraction to the walkers, who envelop him and tear him to shreds. It enables Shane to get away and save Carl. But at what cost to Shane?The last we see of Shane, he is staring into a fogged over mirror, having just shaved his head to hide the last evidence of his struggle with Otis. Not good.
4Cherokee Rose
06 Nov 2011
Description ▼All is quiet at the Hershel homestead. You'd almost think the zombie apocalypse hadn't occurred. It did, of course, and we're soon reminded by the arrival of all our favorite survivors, who have abandoned their highway campsite for country living.Carl continues to recover under the watch of Rick and Lori. Dale is overjoyed that the boy will OK -- and Rick makes a point to thank Shane for his heroics. Of course, Shane knows HOW he was able to get away from the undead and shudders at the memory. His shame becomes worse when Hershel asks him to speak during Otis's funeral. "You were the last one with him," cries Patricia. "Please, I need to hear." Shane spins a story about Otis being a hero who willingly sacrificed himself to save Carl. It's a convincing story.Later, the entire gang turns its attention toward missing Sophia, pouring over survey maps and the like. Hershel politely suggests that the new arrivals don't carry guns on his property. Shane doesn't like it, but Rick agrees. Maggie then volunteers to go to the local pharmacy to stock up on medical supplies. Rick suggests that Glenn accompany her. Lori approaches Glenn and hands him a note. She says that she needs a personal item from the pharmacy and nervously asks that he keep this request between the two of them. Sometime later, Lori and Shane have an awkward exchange. "Did you mean it?" Shane asks. "When you said 'stay,' did you mean it?" Says Lori: "I meant it." Shane then teaches Andrea how to strip the weapons before he stores them all in the RV. Hershel, meanwhile, approaches Rick with a stern reminder. "Once you find this girl and your boy is fit for travel, I expect you'll move on," Hershel says. "We need to be clear on that."Dale and T-Dog are busy pumping water out of the well when Dale hears a noise from the deep. A horribly bloated zombie is at the bottom of the well. The disgusting walker might or might not have already contaminated the water, but blowing its brains out surely will. So how to get it out? The gang lowers a canned ham, but the zombie doesn't go for it. "We need live bait," Andrea says. Everybody looks at Glenn, the smallest in the group.CUT to Glenn with a rope wrapped around his chest. He is lowered down into the well toward the snarling, bleached zombie. Suddenly, the pipe to which the rope is tied SNAPS, sending Glenn PLUMMETING downward. T-Dog is able to grab the rope and holds on for dear life. Moments later, the group pulls Glenn out of the well. Safe. Even better, Glenn managed to fit a noose around the walker's midsection and "hook" it. So, as it turns out, the boneheaded plan actually worked. The zombie can now be hauled out.Daryl, in the meantime, approaches a rotting house with his crossbow at the ready. He finds scraps of recently devoured food and -- in the closet -- evidence of a makeshift bed. Has Sophia been here? Back at the farm, the survivors haul the zombie out of the well, but the squirming thing gets stuck on the lip. They HEAVE together ... and the zombie SPLITS in half. Its lower body plunges into the water below in a cascade of blood and guts. Its upper half SNARLS and SPITS on the ground above until T-Dog BASHES it in the face with a blunt object. The well will have to be sealed off, after all.Back to the woods, where Shane schools Andrea on the finer points of using a firearm. Basically, shooting a moving, "living" target is a whole lot more difficult than hitting a stationary target during training. "There ain't nothing easy about taking a man's life," says Shane, who is clearly thinking of Otis. "But when you get it done, you have to forget it. I guess I haven't quite got that last part down yet." Glenn and Maggie, meanwhile, ride into town on horseback. Maggie is quiet -- she is still quite upset over seeing the bloated zombie split and half and then beaten. Glenn explains that this group is rather "numb" to such grisly conclusions. They reach the pharmacy and Glenn reaches into his pocket to reveal the private note from Lori. He finds the feminine hygeine section and picks out what he needs to get. Maggie then approaches Glenn, who scrambles to hide what he's gotten and accidently picks up a pack of condoms instead. Maggie takes that as a sign and tells Glenn that she wants to have sex. Glenn is shocked. "You're not the only one who is lonely," she whispers. They are soon stripped to the waist and begin making out in the middle of the ransacked pharmacy.Later, Rick deliberately puts Hershel on the spot, asking the patriarch to allow his band of ragged survivors to stay on the farm. Rick explains that he is only concerned with the well being of his boy. "There are aspects to this, things that I can't and won't discuss, but if you and your people respect my rules ... no promises, but I will consider it," Hershel says. Rick doesn't ask about the things Hershel "won't discuss" and thanks the old man for meeting him halfway. Riding back to the farm, Maggie rather coldly tells Glenn that their dalliance was a "one time thing." Glenn appears hurt, but is quickly intercepted by Lori. Glenn hands over the package he picked up for her and doesn't say a word. Nor does Lori.CUT to Daryl, who returns from searching for Sophia with a Cherokee Rose that he gives to Carol. Daryl explains that the Native Americans believed that the rose bloomed as a way to comfort mothers grieving the loss of their children along the Trail of Tears. "I'm not fool enough to believe that there are any flowers blooming for my brother, but I believe that this one bloomed for your little girl," he explains. A grateful Carol cries. Back the farm, Carl awakens from a deep sleep to find his father sitting next to the bed. Rick apologizes for not telling Carl that Sophia is missing. "I didn't mean to lie, I just didn't want to worry you," Rick says. Carl understands. Rick then gives his son his sheriff's hat. "I love you," he says.Later, Lori watches as her husband removes his badge and shirt after another long, long day. Is there something that she wants to tell him? No. Instead, she wanders outside to an isolated spot and pulls out the package Glenn retreived for her from the pharmacy. It's a pregnancy test. Lori crouches down, urinates on it, and holds it up to see the results. It's positive. Terrified at what this will mean, Lori begins to cry.
5Chupacabra
13 Nov 2011
Description ▼FLASHBACK. A long line of cars chokes the highway as families attempt to flee the undead menace. Shane, Lori and other familiar faces try to restrain their panic in front of the children. Suddenly, there is a loud BANG. Helicopters fly overhead. Lori and Shane run toward the sound. From the woods, they watch a city being bombed by the government. Horrified and frightened, the pair embraces. CURRENT DAY. Lori awakens inside a tent outside the Hershel farm. Carol suggests cooking dinner for the Hershel clan. "Trying to look for things to keep my mind occupied," the distraught mom explains. The survivors then plan their day of searching for Sophia. Dale and T-Dog affectionately tease Daryl, who claims to have once seen a Chupacabra. Daryl points out that dead are currently walking the Earth. So stranger things have happened.CUT to Glenn, who approaches Maggie and notes that they still have 11 condoms left. "I don't even know if I like you," she says. Still, Maggie appears intrigued. Later, Rick and Shane search for Sophia and joke about the girls Shane slept with in high school. Shane suddenly becomes serious. "That life is gone and everyone in it," he says. Shane then gets honest with Rick, telling the sheriff that they are wasting their time -- and risking their lives -- wandering through the woods looking for a girl who is likely dead. Rick, of course, feels personally responsible -- and has no plans to call off the search.CUT to Daryl, who rides through the woods on horseback. He stops on a ridge and looks down on the riverbank. There appears to be a body in the muck. Daryl approaches ... slowly. He finds a doll and some clothes. "Sophia!" he yells. No response. Daryl gets back on the horse -- literally -- and it is SPOOKED by a snake. Daryl is THROWN and he tumbles down a steep hill. The expert hunter lies injured and bleeding. In fact, he has accidently impaled himself on one of his arrows. It sticks through his side. Daryl stumbles to his feet and ties off his wound. He limps badly to shore. Doesn't look good.Glenn, meanwhile, approaches Lori. "You're pregnant," he whispers. Lori swears the young man to secrecy. She hasn't told a soul. Rick soon returns and pulls aside his wife. "Shane says my good intentions are making us weaker -- that I can't make the hard decisions for the good of the group," Rick explains to Lori. She tells Rick to stay the course. He isn't being soft at all, in her humble opinion. Rick is then summoned to speak with Hershel. "One of my horses is missing," Hershel says. "Did one of your people take it?" Rick apologizes. He thought Daryl had informed the old man. Also: Hershel is upset that young Jimmy joined the search team. Again, Rick thought Hershel was aware when he wasn't. Hershel has a simple solution to the communication problems: "I'll control my people, you control yours." Rick agrees without saying a word.CUT to Daryl, who lies unconscious on the riverbed. Suddenly, Merle appears and berates his little brother. "You're going to die out here, little brother -- and for what?" Merle asks. Big brother wants to know why Daryl is risking his life for a little girl and not out searching for his sibling. "One of these days, they're going to scrape you off their heels like you was dog %#@&," Merle says. "They ain't your kin ... Ain't nobody going to care about you except me." And then Merle -- a hallucination -- is gone. Unfortunately, Merle has been replaced by a drooling zombie. Daryl suddenly springs to life, STABBING the zombie in the eye with a piece of wood. Another walker approaches. Daryl RIPS the arrow from his side, loads his crossbow and SHOOTS it in the head.Daryl then decides to take his phantom brother's advice and get serious about surviving. He eats a squirrel -- raw -- before making a necklace of zombie ears. Soon, Merle reappears. "I'm as real as your Chupacabra!" he yells. Somehow, Daryl makes it to the top of the ridge. Merle is gone. "Yeah, you better run!" Daryl screams at nothing. Later, Hershel is upset to find Rick's survivors cooking dinner in the kitchen. "We need to be setting clear boundaries with these people," Hershel tells Maggie. "Don't get close to them. They aren't going to be around forever." Unhappy, Maggie leaves the room.Outside, Glenn approaches Dale for advice about Maggie. In order to do so, Glenn admits that he had sex with Maggie. Dale is concerned, worried that Hershel would be mighty upset (and he would, too). "He is our host," Dale says. "Jesus, Glenn, what were you thinking?" Says Glenn: "I was thinking that I might be dead tomorrow." Good point. Suddenly, Andrea spots a walker emerging from the tree line a few hundred yards away. She is anxious for some target practice and takes aim. Of course, the walker is actually a bloodied and shambling Daryl. She FIRES -- and Daryl goes down.Lori's pride turns to HORROR when she discovers that she has shot Daryl. The survivors drag Daryl inside. He has been grazed in the neck. Later, Hershel tends to Daryl, who explains that he found Sophia's doll in the creek bed. Hershel, meanwhile, has just about had enough. His horse is missing and the antibiotics are going fast. "It's a wonder you people have survived this long," he pointedly tells Rick. Shane agrees with Hershel. "We can't keep going out there -- not after this," the deputy says. Rick storms out. Dale, in the meantime, tells a distraught Andrea that she shouldn't be so hard on herself. "We've all wanted to shoot Daryl," he quips. Andrea manages to smile weakly.Later, Hershel's people and Rick's people eat dinner together inside the farmhouse. No one says much. Maggie and Glenn pass notes like school kids. It looks like they might get back together, after all. Carol then brings Daryl dinner. "You did more for my little girl today than her daddy did his whole life," Carol says. "You're every bit as good as them. Every bit." Daryl doesn't respond. After dinner, Maggie reads the note from Glenn: "Ever done it in a hayloft?" Maggie appears horrified. Why? CUT to Glenn, approaching the property's massive barn. It is locked, so he climbs to the second level and enters. Inside, more than a dozen zombies are being kept. Maggie enters. "You weren't supposed to see this," she says.To be continued ...
6Secrets
20 Nov 2011
Description ▼It's morning at Hershel's farm and, as the survivors go about their chores, Patricia sneaks into the chicken coop, breaks a chicken's legs, and then takes it toward the big barn. Once inside, she dumps an entire bag of incapacitateded chickens to the hungry zombies below. Glenn, who knows about Hershel's secret, is watching the barn through binoculars when Maggie approaches. "You have to keep this to yourself," she says. "Please." He agrees.Later, Andrea brings a book to wounded Daryl -- and apologizes for accidentally shooting him. "You were protecting the group -- we're good," Daryl says. Later, Glenn approaches Lori to discuss yet another secret. "You have a medical condition," says Glenn in reference to her hush-hush pregnancy. "I'll make another run into town -- just tell me what you need." What Lori needs is for Glenn to keep his mouth shut. Familiar.Carl then asks Shane to teach him how to shoot. Shane, warming to the boy once again, agrees to ask Rick and Lori. Then Shane notices that Carl is carrying loaded handgun in his belt. A furious Lori hears from Dale how Carl asked to let inside the RV because he was looking for a walkie. "So on top of everything else, he lied?" Lori asks. Carl hangs his head. "He wants to learn how to shoot," says Shane, who volunteers to help. Rick is sympathetic to the request. Lori is decidedly not. "I want to look for Sophia, I want to defend our camp," Carl says. "I can't do that without a gun." Reluctantly, Lori agrees.Later, a nervous Glenn spills it all to Dale: "There are walkers in the barn and Lori's pregnant." So Dale approaches Hershel. "I took a long walk this morning and ended up by the barn," Dale says. "I heard the moans." Hershel defends himself. "A paranoid schizophrenic is dangerous, too," he says. "We don't shoot sick people. My wife and stepson are in that barn. They're people." Hershel then asks Dale to keep quiet if he really wants to help. "Rick's a man of conscience, but are you so sure about all the people in your group?" Hershel asks. Dale has no response to this question/challenge.Andrea is trying to shoot a piece of wood hanging from a tree limb. Shane shoves the wood, sending it swinging back and forth and creating a moving target. He begins to berate Andrea, trying to get her to concentrate and understand that she will need to shoot under pressure and emotional turmoil. "Pretend it's the walker that got Amy!" he barks. That's too much for Andrea, who recoils in horror and then walks away. Lori then approaches her husband with news she heard from Hershel: Rick plans to take the group away from the farm. Rick explains that he is trying to convince Hershel to let them stay, but it might take some time. He tells Lori to just give Hershel "some space."Shane, meanwhile, chases after an angry Andrea. He lamely apologizes and then mentions a lead on Sophia. Would Andrea like to be his backup? She agrees.Back at the farm, Lori doubles over in front of Dale. She is nauseous. Dale admits that he knows her secret. Lori admits that while the baby is almost certainly Rick's -- and not Shane's -- she can't bear the thought of bringing a newborn into this apocalyptic world. "Look me in the eye and tell me that my baby will grow up to be your age," Lori says. Alas, Dale cannot.Lori then goes straight to Glenn -- and apologizes for saddling him with her secret. Then she asks Glenn to head back into town to get her a few pregnancy related items. So Glenn and Maggie ride into town on horseback. She is angry because Glenn betrayed her trust to Dale. She is also angry that Glenn is sympathetic to keeping the zombies safe in case a cure is found -- especially considering that Maggie's mom is among the barn's walkers. Inside the pharmacy, Maggie and Glenn are searching for the proper meds when a zombie grabs through the stacks and attacks Maggie. Glenn shoves the walker away and then viciously beats in the skull over and over and over and over. A shaking Maggie embraces Glenn. This time, she was just fine with killing the undead.Later, Maggie storms back to the farm and throws a package of "abortion pills" at Lori, telling her to go get her own damn medicine the next time and stop putting Glenn in danger. Lori is so taken aback that -- for once -- she says nothing.Shane and Andrea are in a car in a suburban neighborhood in search of Sophia. They enter a house and see signs that the family which lived there barricaded themselves and made a fight of it. Almost immediately, they are attacked by a horde of walkers. In making their way back to their car to escape, Shane shoots a number of the zombies in the head while a flustered Andrea fumbles with her weapon. After a few errant shots, Andrea finds her groove, shooting zombie after zombie in the head.At the farm Lori apologizes to Glenn. Glenn then wonders if the morning-after pills will even work. He then hands Lori prenatal vitamins as second option. "I can't tell you what to do," Glenn says. "But your choice -- maybe you shouldn't make it alone."Andrea and Shane are riding in the car back to the farm. A smiling Andrea, excited by her new skill at arms, reaches over and grabs Shane's crotch. Shane stops the car. "Well, come on then," he says. It gets very physical. Later, the two new lovers return to the farm and break the bad news to Carol: no sign of Sophia. No dummy, Dale senses something different between Shane and Andrea.Surprisingly, this prompts Dale to suggest that Shane get out of town. Dale even suggests that the details of Otis's death are quite vague. "I know what kind of man you are," growls Dale, bringing up the time Shane trained his gun on Rick. Shane says he loves Rick -- then warns Dale that he should be careful when leveling accusations. Very careful. Dale gets the message -- and is quite scared. Shane just smiles... and walks away.Finally, Rick walks into his wife's tent and sees the pills. He approaches his wife. "Something you need to tell me?" Rick asks. Lori explains that she took the morning-after pills, but threw them up. Rick is furious. "I screwed up!" she weeps. "I don't know how we do this!" Says Rick: "We can make it work. We'll figure it out. Shouldn't we try to figure it out!?" Rick then says he can't live with the lies. "Is there anything else I should know about?" he asks. Responds Lori: "Shane and I" Rick says he knows. He has known all along -- and he understands. Lori thought her husband was dead.Lori and Rick, seemingly apart from one another, standing close in proximity, look out on their future at the farm.There seem to be no more secrets.
7Pretty Much Dead Already
27 Nov 2011
Description ▼It's dawn at the Hershel farm. Our survivors eat lunch in a camp outside the main house. Suddenly, Glenn stands up after an encouraging nod from Dale. "Um, guys, so ... the barn is full of walkers," Glenn discloses.Shane peeks into the barn. Sure enough, there are more than a dozen hungry, drooling zombies inside. Shane becomes angry. He wants to leave -- immediately. Daryl, Rick and Carol argue. What about Sophia? Well, Shane is sick of hearing about Sophia. In fact, the former deputy strongly suspects that Sophia is dead. "Let me talk to Hershel!" Rick insists. "This is his land."Later, Glenn tries to talk to Maggie, but she breaks an egg over his head. Hershel's daughter is angry that Glenn spilled the big secret. Carl, meanwhile, declares that he is not leaving until the group finds Sophia. "She's going to like it here -- this place," Carl says of Hershel's farm. Lori gives her optimistic boy a big hug.Daryl is still recovering from being shot. Nevertheless, he prepares a horse to go searching when Carol approaches -- and urges Daryl to take it easy. "Can't lose you, too," Carol cries. That doesn't sit well with Daryl, who throws a saddle and storms out of the barn.Dale then confronts Andrea about Shane. "Is that what you want to be?" Dale asks. "Like him?" Andrea says that Shane isn't a "victim" -- and she likes that about him.Inside the farm house, Rick approaches Hershel. "We found the barn," Rick says. "I'd like to talk about it." Hershel doesn't want a debate. "I need you and your group gone by the end of the week," Hershel says. "I've given you safe harbor. My conscience is clear." Rick pleads his case, explaining that Lori is pregnant. Hershel remains stubborn. Later, Rick tells Shane that Lori is preggers. "We need to stay," Rick explains. Shane tries to be thrilled.In the Hershel kitchen, Maggie tells her father to practice what he preaches and let the survivors stay. Suddenly, Jimmy enters the kitchen. "It happened again," Jimmy says. Hershel immediately goes to Rick to ask for help.Shane, in the meantime, confronts Lori about her pregnancy and Rick. Shane claims to have saved Lori's life four times -- four more times than Rick. He says Rick is weak -- and not equipped for this new world. Shane also believes the unborn baby to be his. Lori becomes angry and defiant. "Even if it's yours, it's not going to be yours," she spits. Shane is hurt -- and angry.He then storms into the RV, looking for something. He can't find it -- whatever it is -- and demands to know where Dale went. Glenn isn't sure. "I don't get it," Glenn says. Responds Shane: "No, man, you don't," and sets off to track Dale.Hershel leads Rick to the edge of the river where two walkers await are immobilized in muck. Hershel challenges Rick to catch and subdue the zombies ... and not kill them. He then says that if Rick and his group are to stay, they will need to abide by Hershel's rules for capturing any and all walkers. Rick agrees.Back at the farm, Glenn tries to speak with Maggie, but is rebuffed -- again. Glenn steps in front of his would-be girlfriend. "I don't care if they're sick people or dead people, they're dangerous," he says. "I don't want you in danger ... Secrets get you killed!" Maggie understands -- and demonstrates her understanding by kissing Glenn.Shane approaches Dale in the woods where he is about to secretly cache the group's firearms. "How bout you give me that bag?" Shane asks. Retorts Dale: "What? Are you going to shoot me like Otis?" Shane demands the bag of guns. Dale raises his weapon at Shane ... and then lowers it. "At least I can say when the world went to shit, I didn't let it take me down with it," Dale says. Not appearing to hear or understand, Shane takes back the weapons.Shane then comes storming back to the farm. He hands out guns to all the survivors, telling them that they are not only going to stay, but that they are also going to take out all the zombies in the barn. "This is not your decision to make!" Lori yells. But furious Shane isn't listening. Just then, the survivors see Rick and Hershel emerge from the woods with walkers at the end of long sticks. He goes ballistic. Ranting and screaming, Shane shoots one of the captured walkers several times in the body to make the point that real people are injured when that happens, and then he shoots the walker in the head.He tells the group that it is "enough" -- it is enough looking for a little girl that is dead and putting up with Hershel's plan to corral the zombies until a cure can be found."If you want to survive, you gotta fight for it!" he screams. Shane then breaks open the barn door. The zombies come lurching out -- and Shane opens fire. Daryl, Andrea, T-Dog and Glenn (after getting a reluctant "go ahead" nod from Maggie) also open fire. Rick does not. Hershel watches in horror as his friends, neighbors and relatives die for a second time. It is a massacre.The final walker to stumble out of the barn is Sophia. Carol runs toward her little girl, who snarls. Daryl holds back Carol. No one shoots. Finally, Rick steps forward. He draws his gun ... and shoots Sophia in the head.To be continued in February...
