The two most volatile character reactions should be reserved for Tyreese and Daryl surely Rick knows this, so it will be interesting to say the least just how he handles the burden of this information.Īs for the show itself, why let McBride go in this fashion? Was it just a unique way to off a character without ripping out their entrails or shooting them in the head? It was certainly a fitting departure for Carol, who has grown into a more-than-capable survivor. Just because Carol is no longer with the prison group doesn't mean they won't still ask questions or that they'll be prevented from forming a schism amongst themselves. Rick alone bears the responsibility of the knowledge that she murdered David and Karen, a decision that will not only cause Tyreese to come after her, but would also likely divide the remaining survivors as to what to do with her. The story surrounding Carol's departure is every bit as interesting as the manner in which she leaves us. Rick's banishing of Carol from the group definitely came as a surprise, just as much as killing off a character would have. Rick, apparently back in charge by no other appointment than his own decision, banishes Carol to the wilds with meager supplies and a vehicle, saying they'll take care of the kids. Any attempt by Rick to elicit an emotional response out of Carol is turned aside with a measured reply akin to, "I did what I had to do." Carol's not without emotions though, as Rick's threat to kick her out of the prison causes her to question what will happen to Lizzie and Mika, and whether or not she could take them. Rick stated that his decision to kill Shane was purely in self defense, while Carol's actions were not her decision as the two sick patients had a possibility of recovering. Rick and Carol's back and forth carried over the entire hour and dug up past events, such as Shane's death at Rick's hands and Carol's loss of Sophia.
She was a strength for the rest of the people at the prison, but as Rick found out, she was also a liability. This was a great episode for McBride, whose character has gone from timid victim of domestic abuse, to impotent mother of a lost and undead child, to confident and competent survivor of the apocalypse. Carol, on the other hand, is entirely convinced that her actions were necessary as she was doing whatever was needed to protect the survivors.
Rick is clearly not pleased with her behavior, but since he's taken a back seat to other leaders lately, he's not really sure if he's in a place to say anything. This pairing was the real heart of the story this week as both of them dance around the issue of Carol's decision to murder Karen and David in the hopes of preventing their illness from spreading to the others. Meanwhile, Rick and Carol head out in search of medicine and food. Bob has yet to prove himself useful or even trustworthy, so we'll see how this new turn of his character works out for him perhaps they'll just kick him to the curb. Here, Daryl and Bob have a face-off, with the latter giving in to his alcoholism and (stupidly) testing Daryl's leadership. (And it's not just me anymore, there's definitely some chemistry between the two former loners.) After the group secures new transportation, they deal with a small pack of Walkers lurking behind the kudzu vines and make their way to the vet school. It's hardly Daryl and Michonne's first rodeo, but the fact that they have to keep an eye on the other two makes things a bit more difficult. Tyreese is still a bit uneven - he'll sulk and wash his bloody clothes in a creek one minute, then hold a Walker in a deadly embrace the next - and Bob remains unproven. The second one is more interesting, so we'll save that for last.ĭaryl's group ran into trouble last week by way of the wandering herd of Walkers, but Tyreese's hammer rage got them out of the worst of it. Coleman) and Bob ( Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) along for support, and one comprised of Rick ( Andrew Lincoln) and Carol ( Melissa McBride). Two groups are now out in search of supplies: one led by Daryl ( Norman Reedus), with Michonne ( Danai Gurira), Tyreese ( Chad L. Much like last year's standout episode, "Clear", tonight's hour took us outside the comfort of the prison gates and into the unpredictable wilds of suburbia.
