While these were going on at Woodbury, a group of 5 survivors, lead by Tyreese, invade the prison. Carl found and rescued them from walkers by locking them in one of the cell blocks. Tyresse thanked the boy who offered them food and shelter, then went off to take care one bitten member.
Back at Woodbury, the Governor declares war against the terrorists that attacked them. He accused Merle as traitor and presented Daryl to the townsfolk. The angry mob chants a verdict of execution while Andrea looks on helplessly at the faith of the two brothers.
========================================================================
Oh goodie! New blood comes to the fold. A group of 5 survivors, led by Tyreese, fights their way out the walker-infested forest. In their attempt to evade their flesh hungry pursuers, Donna got bitten. The other woman in the group, Sasha, insisted on leave Donna behind. But Donna's husband and son didn't do so, even though it was futile to rescue her at that point. They were able to get out of the woods and into the collapse wall at the back of the prison. Will these group find home within Rick's dwindling dependents?
At Woodbury, we see Andrea still at the Governor's quarters. She picks up a photo of the Governor and his family. Looking at the photo, do you notice Andrea's striking resemblance to his deceased wife? So that is the reason why the Governor likes Andrea so much. When Andrea left, the Governor goes to his secret room to check on her zombie-daughter, Penny. He talks and cuddles Penny like any loving father would do. Is he also conducting an experiment with Penny similar to what Milton was doing? Could his child zombie still recognize him? But his affection were not reciprocated. Instead, her attention were all on the bowl of raw meat beside her. He got angry and shove the child walker away back into her cage.
In the holding area, Glenn and Maggie comforts each other from the torturous ordeal they had from their abductors. Then Glenn suddenly goes to the walker carcass and tears off its arm violently to extract a crude weapon from the shattered bones. In another area, the Governor talks to Merle and the others about the threat posted by the people at the prison. He wants them destroyed and let the bitters reclaim the prison. Merle wants a chance to talk to his brother and persuade him to join their faction at Woodbury. The Governor is concerned about Andrea finding out about Glenn so he orders them to take the prisoner out to be silenced.
In the meantime, Michonne led Rick and the others to the infirmary. Glenn and Maggie are not there so she insisted to locate them at the Governor's home. Rick still don't trust her so he wants to look somewhere else. A guard enters the house to investigate the movements he saw from outside. Rick seize and interrogates him on the whereabouts of Maggie and Glenn. The man knows nothing so he gag and hit him unconscious.
At prison, Axel is infatuated with the Hershel's teenager, Beth. I do wonder where Hershel was at this point. Carols sees this and talks to Axel about it. Axel says that Beth is the only girl he an flirt with since Maggie is with Glenn and he assume Carol, having short hair, to be a lesbian. Carol says she is not homosexual. Axel proposes to her but she turns him down. What a comic relief Axel is turning out to be.
Back at Woodbury, When Merle and the other guards came to collect their captives, Glenn and Maggie attack them with their makeshift weapons. Merle lets out a round of gunfire during the scuffle. Maggie killed his captor with the zombie bone, however, Merle easily subdued the injured Glenn. More guards came in and the couple were recaptured.
Hearing the gunfire, Rick and his group advance to where Glenn and Maggie held captive. They throw smoke grenades to confused Merle and his group, and pull Glenn and Maggie out to safety. Glenn blurs out Merle is alive and that he is the right-hand man of the Governor. Daryl wants to find Merle, but Rick begs Daryl to help them escape. Michonne slips away from the group to act on her own agenda.
Upon hearing that one of his men was killed by the outsiders, the Governor rallies his group on an alert mode. He assigns Andrea to enforce the curfew just to keep her away from knowing the truth that Rick's group are there. However, the war escalated when Rick starts to assault the front wall with gunfires and smoke bombs. Andrea joins the not knowing that she is firing at her former comrades. Daryl provides cover while the others moves towards the wall. Rick stops when he sees Shane coming towards them. But it was only his imagination. Oscar have been shot and drop dead on the spot. Maggie fires a bullet on his head so he won't turn to a zombie. She calls for Rick. This snaps Rick back to reality and shouts for Daryl to follow. However, Daryl was caught in a crossfire.
At prison, Carl and the others hear screaming within the prison. Hershel wasn't able to stop the boy to leave and investigate. Carl finds Tyreese and his group fighting walkers. He lead the group out of the dangerous predicament and into the safety of the cell block. Donna dies along the way. While the group is preoccupied with the situation, Carl locks them in the cell, leaving them food and water. Sasha protests and demands to let them out. Tyreese calms her down and thanks Carl for helping and leading them to safety. He went back to take care of Donna.
Michonne went to the Governor's residence where he sits waiting for the man to enter. She hears noises in one of the rooms which he breaks down to investigate. There she finds the Governor's water tanks filled with zombie heads. At the back of it, she finds the cage and the chained, hooded figure within. She thought it was a child but surprised when she lifted the hood to find a zombie child. When the Governor finds Michonne with Penny, he surrenders his weapons and begs Michonne to let Penny go. Michonne, who struggling to understand it all, stabs the walker child with her sword. This made the Governor into a mad frenzy and they have a brutal fight. The Governor rams Michonne's face against the water tanks. The Governor pins Michonne to the ground while the zombie heads tries to take a bite on the struggling Michonne. Michonne grabs a loose broken glass and stabs the Governor's eye with it. When Michonne was about to strike the fatal blow, Andrea step it pointing her gun at Michonne. Both girls held at a stand still. Michonne lowers her sword and Andrea proceeds to help the Governor. The Governor went to where Penny is and cradled the corpse in grief.
At the infirmary, Andrea asks the Governor about Michonne, the zombie heads and Penny. Even though how much the Governor makes his explanation sound normal, Andrea struggles to accept its merits. Merle enters the room to report of Rick and his groups escape. However, he was only greeted by the Governor's hard gaze. He now know Merle lied to him about killing Michonne.
Michonne reunites with Rick outside the wall. They been waiting for Daryl to come out. Rick doubts her as she states her usefulness to them. The Governor calls for a town assembly. He reveals they were attacked by terrorists and that Merle was one of them. He then reveals the captured Daryl. He asks for the towns verdict. The public clamors for an execution. Andrea looks on in terror and disbelief.
========================================================================
Highlights:
- Carl is turning out to be a miniature version of Rick. So far, it looks like he is control of everything at prison. However, I do wonder how would he hold up against Tyreese's group now that Rick and the others are not there to defend the fort. Would the new entrants take over the prison?
- Tyreese seems to be a decent person. He looks like a man of reason and has respect for boundaries. He would be a perfect addition to Rick's group. And Rick needs more people since it becomes evident that the Governor wants them destroyed.
- What would happen to the brothers, Merle and Daryl? Would they end up dead or would they escape and join Rick's group? I doubt it if Daryl would join his brother at the Governor's side. The Governor already forsaken Merle. So it is better if Merle joins his brother in Rick's group. But they need to escape the Governor's wrath first.
- What would happen to Andrea. Do you think Andrea would join Rick's group? I don't think the Governor would let her go. Maybe she will help the brothers to escape from Woodbury.
- Why did Shane suddenly pops out of the picture? Is Rick having psychological issues? If that's the case, we can expect other dead characters make a comeback via Rick's phantasms.
- If Woodbury has Milton, the prison has Axel. Even though they are creepy sometimes, they do provide a minute of comic relief from all the seriousness that's been happening. However, I do hope Axel don't bother sweet Beth too much. While Daryl is still in Woodbury, would he take this opportunity and continue his courtship with Carol?
- RIP Oscar. I find Oscar's character similar to T-Dogg's. I thought he will have a longer presence in the show. I guess he had to go to make room for Tyreese.
- Talk about the dynamic couple, Glenn and Maggie. They are strong when together, but weak when apart. Or is it the other way around. Nonetheless, they are now the it couple now that Rick's better half is gone. Maybe we will see her in Rick's dreams.
- Even though the ideal match up is between Rick and the Governor, I like to see the Governor- Michonne brawl once again. I am sure the Governor wants to avenge Penny's second death.
