The story opens up with a mystery man dragging a deer carcassacross the prison yards. The carcass finds its way in the prison yard where twowalkers feast on it. Another carcass hanging grabs its attention. While thewalkers enjoy their feast, the mystery man walks away with a hatchet, cuts opena gate and leaves a heart behind as bait.


Meanwhile, Rick, T-Dog, Daryl andCarol are outside the prison gates and are talking about using the vehicles. Theycall for Glenn and Maggie at the guard tower, who look like they were relievingsome stress. Axel and Oscar walk out from the prison, much to the crew’s shock.The duo plead their case to Rick: “You gotta understand, we can’t live in thatplace for another minute with the blood and brains,” Axel explains. Rick standshis ground and says to either live in the cell block or leave the prison, aspart of their deal. Oscar disagrees and states “they are no better pricks thanthe ones that shot up our boys. These were good guys who had our backs….I maynot be a saint but were not like them.” Oscar and Axel accept that they havedone things that have landed them in prison but felt they paid their dues tosociety. Rick looks at Daryl. Daryl shakes his head, indicating no. Daryl locksthem back in. But T-Dog suggests that they should give the two prisoners achance.“You want to go back to sleep with one eye open?” Ricksaid to T-Dog. T-Dog said it wouldn’t be any different then the way he sleeps now. Darylthrows in his two cents: “I grew up with guys like this…they are degenerate butnot psychos. Let them take their chances on the road just like we did”. Ricktells the crew his first arrest about a 19-year-old male who stabbed his girlfriend. Rick explained that the boy was so "emotionally distraught" that the jury believed his sincerity and acquitted his case due to insufficient evidence. Two weeks later, the boy shot another girl. So Rick learning to trust the prisoners are as likely to happen as pigs flying.
Back in Woodsbury, Michonne walks around the militarytrucks and tanks to investigates. She takes note at the alarming amount ofbullet holes in the tanks and trucks. She climbs on top of a tank and she findsa severed finger. She climbs down and is bumps into the Governor. “Prettyamazing, isn’t it?” the Governor explains. He suggests that his own group canuse a soldier like Michonne. But Michonne has her doubts. She begins toquestion how the soldiers died within the apocalypse; “Even the Nat’l Guard wasoverrun,” Michonne noted: “You think one soldier would’ve drove away, againstsomething so slow (the walkers)” The Governor would assured Michonne that thesoldiers are trained to never leave anyone behind. She brings up the bulletholes; “you think biters know how to use weapons?” Michonne tells him it’s too badabout what happened to Welles (the pilot) and asks why there wasn’t some kindof service/memorial funereal. The Governor explained how he was shot in thehead and the body was cremated. Michonne walks away, keeping further questionsto herself.
Back at the prison, the group’s plans are to take thevehicles and to get supplies. Axel compliments Daryl’s bike and suggests hecould fix it. Daryl drives off, warning him to not even touch it. Inside theprison, Carl is sitting on the stairs while Lori and Beth bring back crutchesto Hershel’s cell bed. Hershel gets up and sits on the bed. Hershel is determinedto get on his crutches and can’t stand a minute of being in the bunk. Hesuggests they go for a slight stroll.
In Woodsbury, Michonne and Andrea plan on escaping andMichonne suggests going to the coast and to take a boat to the island. Andreaquestions what would happen if the coast wasn’t safe and even if it was, wouldthey live alone the rest of their lives? Michonne still insists on leavingWoodsbury. 

Glenn, Daryl and Rick running to the rescue

Back at the prison, Glenn gives the Axel and Oscar aweek’s worth of food. Glenn tells them to sit tight. Carol locks up the gatesand gets in the car. Glenn, Rick and Daryl go outside the prison gates to hunt formore walkers, to get rid of the bodies and to also get wood. Lori, Carl, Bethand Hershel take a stroll outside the prison yard from C-Unit. Carl jokes to goon a race with Hershel. The whole crew is ecstatic to see Hershel finally beingable to walk and be in good spirits. But the good moments were cut short when agroup of walkers sneaks up behind Lori, Hershel and the rest. Daryl and Rickrace to the men and women to save them. Hershel knocks out a walker with hiscrutch as he and Beth lock themselves out from the walkers for safety. Lori,Carl and Carol go on a shooting spree against the walkers. Lori, Carl andMaggie goes inside one part of the prison while Carol is still out. The womenand Carl are being chased by walkers but find a hidden room to lock themselvesin. Outside, the men catch up and T-Dog catches up to Carol to aid her. Sadly,he is bitten by a walker and yells at a distraught Carol to go inside the jail.She follows his orders and goes inside.
Back at Woodsbury, Andrea hands Merle a marked map: “Imarked the area where the farm was”. Andrea shows him where she was at when shewas separated by the group. Obviously impressed with her, Meryl asks thequestion every girl wants to hear: “How come we never hooked up?” Andreareplies with “you called me a whore”. Merle asks her why she didn’t join thegroup when the farmhouse was invaded. It then clicks in his head that she wasleft behind. “We got left behind by the same people and saved by another.” Andreaasks Merle if he thought about leaving Woodsbury; “Lemme put it this way,” heexplains, “I wasn’t in the best shape when he found me. He should’ve keptgoing. So yeah, he’s a good man.”
Back in the prison yard, Glenn, Rick and Daryl go on azombie hunt. But then, the prison alarm rings. The men accuse Axel and Oscar ofringing it but they explain how the alarm system in the prison works and it wascaused by the generator. Meanwhile, T-dog and Carol are in the hallway withLori, Maggie and Carl trying to secure the hallways they were in. To makethings much better, Lori then feels an intense pain and her water breaks. A groupof walkers trail behind them and Maggie picks up Lori, determined to get her tosafety while Carl leads the way. He finds a hidden door for the women and therest to be safe in.
We go on over the Woodsbury where Merle is meetingwith the Governor. Merle suggests taking en named Tim and Martinez and Andreaon a scouting mission to see if Daryl is alive. “She told me where I can findthat farmhouse they are holed up in,” he explains to the Governer.  The governor suggests that they can beanywhere and also says it’s a risky mission because Merle is a valued member ofWoodsbury and the town can’t afford losing him. But he tells Merle that if hegets more concrete information about Daryl and his possible whereabouts, hewould go out and join Merle himself.
Back in the now chaotic prison, the alarm is stillringing and Rick is calling on Lori and Carl while Glenn and Daryl, Oscar andAxel are behind them, walkers trailing after them. They all rush to thegenerator room with Daryl holding down the door to prevent the walkers fromcoming in. Back in the “safe room”, Lori is trying to push out the baby and Maggie tellsher to let the body do the work. Lori is holding tight unto a pipe as blood iscoming down her hand.
At another part of the prison, Carol and T-Dog runinto a group of walkers and are now running the other way. But T-Dog knows thathis time is running out and decides to run into a group of walkers to take themout so Carol can leave. Carol is heartbroken to see another member of the groupperish but she escapes. 

Andrea and the Governor having a talk

We go back to Woodsbury where Andrea meets with theGovernor. He tells her he’s sorry to see the two leave. Andrea tells the Governorof Michonne’s plans to go to the coast. The Governor asks what Andrea thinks of it all. Andrea and the Governorthen talk about their personal losses in the wake of the apocalypse; Andreahaving lost her parents and sister and the Governor losing his wife and family.The Governor also mentions how he lost his lifestyle as the breadwinner of thefamily. Andrea says she has to go and she appreciates the way the Governor hastaken care of them. “Remember, if it gets tough out there, you’re alwayswelcomed here,” the Governor tells Andrea. “Thank you, Governor,” Andrearesponds. “Phillip,” The Governor responds to Andrea’s surprise. She asks whyhe told her his name. “Someone once told me never say never,” he smirks.
So let’s go back to the men in the generator room.Rick investigates the generators while Daryl holds off the door. But dog doo-doohits the fan when an unexpected Andrew jumps out at Rick with a hatchet,preparing to kill Rick for revenge. Rick’s gun drops during the fight. KnowingRick is in danger, Daryl finally lets go of the door to slay some walkers andshut the door again. Oscar jumps in and throws a trash barrel at Andrew,knocking Andrew down. Both Rick and Andrew get back up, with Rick’s gun pointedat Rick. Oscar then shoots Andrew and gives the gun back to Rick. Rick finally shutsoff the generators and the alarm stops. During this time, Lori is finally lyingdown with Maggie and Carl aiding her. Lori knows she is losing her baby and shetells Maggie that she needs to cut her open to deliver the baby. Maggie says she can't but Lori demands it, saying she can't lose her baby.
In Woodsbury, Michonne and Andrea are arguing aboutstaying a day later. Andrea says that staying a day later won’t hurt butMichonne isn’t having any of it (hasn’t Andrea learned this about Michonne bynow after being with her for 8 months?) 

Faced with an unspeakable decision

Back in the “safe room”, Maggie sees Lori’s C-Sectionscar, where Lori suggests she cut. “Carl, baby don’t be scared,” Lori said,consoling a shaken Carl. “You can survive in this world....always do what is right. If it feels wrong, don’t do it…you’re such a good boy….” She advisesto Carl. Carl and Lori embrace for the last time. Maggie finally cuts Lori open, sending her into extreme shock anddelivers the baby. Maggie cuts the umbilical cord and rubs the baby, finallyhearing the baby’s cry.  
Rick, Glenn and Daryl investigate the hallway todiscover T-Dog’s remains being eaten by walkers. Them men kills the walkers. Darylfinds Carol’s bandana, much to his dismay. The men go out and meet up withHershel and Beth, who are safe. Hershel asks about T-Dog and Carol. Darylexclaims they’re gone. When Hershel asks about Lori, a baby’s cry rings out theyard. Maggie and Carl come out with the baby in Maggie’s arms. When Rick askswhere’s Lori, Maggie and Carl both don’t say a word but their expression speaksfor themselves. Rick, the strong leader of the group whose endured others’losses, death and despair, finally breaks down when he realizes that his wifeis gone for good. The group solemnly looks at a broken down Rick from adistance….


Jane's Notes: Okay...um.....wow......where do I even BEGIN to start on this? I've thinking in my head on how I was going to present this but even Chris Hardwick of "The Talking Dead" seemed shook up by the episode. Media everywhere covered about how it had to probably be one of the most heartbreaking episodes in the whole series. Okay, so now that we have that out of the way, let's break it down with some commentary;

 Let's talk about Andrea now. I think I need to ask others whether or not Andrea would have sessytimes with the Governor, which is partly why I think she wants to stay. There is a lot of safety and comfort in Woodsbury but also, she needs to be reminded that Michonne could've easil let her go but had saved her butt for 8 months straight so the fact that Andrea begins to question Michonne makes me go; 

Now about T-Dogg...I was NOT expecting that! I think all of California heard me cry "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" as I literally had my hands on my head. T-Dogg was always a good guy and if he was to be killed off, he was killed off as heroic as his character was. He knew he wasn't going to last after being bit and probably didn't want to suffer anymore so he used his final minutes to save Carol (who has grown on me). I heart T-Dogg ALOT and am sad to see him get killed off :( 

Now onto Lori...oh dear, where to begin. I really have no words so I'll let my tweet speak for itself;

I'll be upfront; Lori was probably my least favorite character from her shenanigans with Shane, to her being objective to Rick's plans of survival and also the way she handled her pregnancy. I was MAD that after complaining about not wanting to be pregnant and bringing a baby in the world, she decides last minute to risk her life for the baby and put Carl in a serious predictament.

The group has had it's share of losses throughout the whole series from Andrea's sister to Hershel's wife. But Lori and T-Dog have been there since the first season so to see them killed off in ONE episode was a major blow of epic porportions to the group. 

So what do you think will happen to the group now? 

I (personally) predict that Rick is going to absolutely lose his damn mind. I think it's time for Hershel, although injured, to step up and take over Rick's position of leadership, at least for awhile. The group has been shook up before but I think with Lori's death, it's going to shake it to the core to the point that I think either the group will take on a new leader, possibly welcome the prisoners and/or even go as far as to disban. It's a good thing that Rick still has Daryl, Hershel and Glenn because they have made it so far and provide a good foundation for the group's backbone. Maggie won't leave Glenn and her family, Beth won't leave Hershel and Carol will lean on Daryl. They have all come to rely on one another...but Rick? Not sure at this point how deep his core of leadership will be shocked to the point where he'll pull a Shane and just become erratic. Hopefully, Rick will realize he still has his kids to live for and will stay united with the group...also, does anyone think that the baby will end up being Shane and looking like him? 

(Keep in mind, I've never read the comic so my predictions are solely based on the TV show)
