We begin with The Governor doing what The Governor does best, convincing a camp full of people to attack Rick’s group at the prison. The Governor tells them that they burned down his city and killed his daughter. There a few good people there, but most of them are thieves and murderers.

While The Governor is talking to the camp, a flashback is shown of him knocking out Michonne and pulling a gun on Herschel. He tells his group that he has captured two of the prison’s members, and this will ensure a safe, bloodless transfer of property. He has kidnapped Michonne and Herschel so that Rick will give up the prison in return for their safety.

Everyone agrees to The Governor’s plan. Well all except for Lilly. She overheard The Governor’s speech, and thinks they are fine right where they are. The Governor tells her he is glad she heard (which I’m sure is a lie) and that the prison is the only safe place for them.

Michonne and Herschel are being held captive in a trailer. Herschel tries to convince The Governor that the two camps can live together in peace. Herschel realizes that The Governor has changed, and tells him that Rick has changed as well. If he talks to Rick they can work something out. The Governor is not willing to do this. He can’t live together with Rick and Michonne.

Martinez did in fact rescue The Governor and Megan from the walker pit. They agree to take in his group, under two conditions. Martinez is in charge, and no dead weight. Contribute or be cast out.

The Governor goes on a supply run with Martinez, Mitch, and Pete. They keep finding decapitated bodies with signs on them like LIAR, RAPIST, and MURDERER. They come upon a cabin, and The Governor goes in first.

They can hear some noise in one of the back rooms. It is there that they find not only some walkers, but also the heads on the decapitated zombies. After they have taken care of the zombies, Mitch passes around some beers he found. Mitch and Pete tell The Governor about their military backgrounds. Martinez tells The Governor that it’s a good thing he had that girl and women with him. He doesn’t say exactly why, but it’s clear Martinez either would have killed him or left him in the pit.

Lilly sets up a nurse station in the camp, and Martinez cozies up to Lilly, Tara, and The Governor. Tara is also cozying up to a woman named Alicia. Martinez is a bit buzzed and has The Governor join him on top of a trailer to hit some golf balls.

It was a very different episode of The Walking Dead this week. It focuses entirely on The Governor, and what happened to him after the Woodbury incident. It felt a bit out of the blue, but it actually worked. Considering he was lurking in the bushes at the end of last week, it makes sense that it’s time to find out where he’s been.

The Governor, Martinez, and Shumpert escaped into the woods after The Governor massacred a bunch of their own people. They are camping in the woods, but The Governor awakes one morning to find Martinez and Shumpert gone. Looks like he is finally on his own. And I don’t feel one bit sorry for him.

The Governor was wandering for months, even sporting a scraggly, not too impressive beard. He finds a family holed up in an apartment. They are weary of him at first and let him stay in one of the other apartments for the night, but take his gun. It’s two sisters, their father, and a young daughter. I immediately feared that The Governor would kill two women, a child, and a dying elderly man.

For whatever reason, people find the Governor endearing. Maybe it’s the lack of human contact, but everyone seems to fall for him. His one night stay turns into helping the family in all sorts of ways. He goes into another apartment to get a backgammon game for the girl and her grandfather. He finds a gun in that apartment, so I’m assuming evil is to come.

This was a fairly boring episode for about the first 25 minutes or so. But it picked up so much in the second half. This turned out to be a pretty great episode after some not so great ones.

Rick returns without Carol, and tells Maggie what happened. She agrees with his choice, and Rick tells her he will only tell Herschel for now. Maggie has already gone to see Herschel to try and help, but he won’t let her into quarantine.

When a patient dies from the illness, Herschel is bringing them to an isolated area to kill them when they turn. He doesn’t want the people seeing. He believes that a sad soul is worse than any germ.

While Rick is talking to Herschel, a woman dies. Herschel passes by her to help Sasha, who has passed out but still seems to be alive. Herschel gives her an IV and she wakes up. She still thinks Herschel is a fool for risking his life to help them, but she is alive because of that.

Carol will be going on a run with Rick for supplies. Lizzie tells Carol that she is glad people come back after they die, because at least they are something. Carol tells Lizzie to fight her fear, and not to be afraid to kill. Meanwhile Rick is either imagining how Carol killed Karen and David, or he actually saw her do it and said nothing. It was hard to tell what picture they were trying to paint.

Tyreese escaped the zombie horde unhurt, but he is clearly not ok. He is convinced everyone back at the prison is already dead, and is displaying some erratic and violent behavior. The gang finds a car covered in branches near a repair shop, and Tyreese’s hasty actions almost gets them killed by walkers.

Michonne can’t understand why Tyreese wouldn’t let go of the walker that had a hold of him. She doesn’t know if he’s trying to get himself killed or what. She tells him that being angry makes you stupid, and being stupid gets you killed.

Daryl finds a battery in the shop, and is putting it into the car as Bob watches on. Bob explains that he was the only survivor of two previous groups, and that his need for booze is what caused the shelves to go down in the store when Zach was killed.

In this episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead Tyreese demands that Rick find out who killed Karen and David. When Rick is not as gung-ho about finding the killer as he feels he should be, Tyreese punches him twice. Rick snaps and beats the holy hell out of Tyreese. Daryl of all people calms the situation.

Everyone that was in the cellblock where the infection first started is now sick, including Dr. S and Sasha. There is no stopping the sickness, but it may be able to be treated with antibiotics. Daryl and Michonne volunteer to go to a vet school about 50 miles away to try and find some medicine. Children and the elderly will be quarantined for their safety.

Tyreese seems to be going a bit nuts, and tells Rick if he doesn’t find the killer today, than Tyreese will find them himself. Meanwhile, Glenn is also sick. Herschel leaves quarantine, but Carl insists on going with him. Rick left Carl “in charge” of quarantine, and it seems to be going to Carl’s head.

Herschel is collecting some berries as Carl stands guard. They find a couple of walkers, but nothing to worry about. Maggie scolds Herschel for being outside, but Herschel knows he can do something to help the infected. If he is risking his life no matter what he does, he may as well do it helping others.

Hey folks, I’m back after a couple of week layoff. I had some family stuff to attend to, and was unable to do any recaps. But I’m back now, and ready to go!

A flashlight is shown shining on the walkers outside of the prison. A rat is fed to them, but the person feeding them is never shown. I immediately thought of The Governor, but perhaps someone on the inside is doing his bidding.

Tyrese and Karen part ways for the evening, as they stay in different cellblocks. Karen stops off in the bathroom, and thinks she hears a noise. As we all wait for the zombified Patrick to attack, she sees nothing and leaves. Patrick emerges after she leaves.

Patrick enters the cellblock and almost goes into Karen’s cell, but hears another man cough and goes to him. Patrick enters the man’s cell, and kills and eats him. Patrick hears another person coughing, and goes to them. We see the man he just killed wake up, now a zombie.

Rick is teaching Carl about the importance of their farming duties, when the alarm sounds. People have found the walkers in the cellblocks. Carl is heading to the watchtower, when he sees Michonne trying to get back into the prison grounds. He lets her in, but several walkers follow her.
