Tyreese ( Chad Coleman) is now the sole chaperone of a bunch of gun-wielding children (which is a spin-off I'd definitely watch), and Daryl ( Norman Reedus) and Beth ( Emily Kinney) were last seen together after perennial badass Daryl took out the tank and driver, Mitch. Maggie ( Lauren Cohan) and Sasha ( Sonequa Martin-Green) both help an injured Bob ( Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) get to safety. Glenn ( Steven Yeun) got the survivors into the bus, but then the bus took off. Other more relevant questions include: Where the hell is everyone? Michonne saved Rick and then disappeared. If there was any doubt that The Governor was really and truly dead, the shot of a Walker tromping on the Eyepatch King chess piece should put that question to rest. After he got the upper hand in a knock-down, drag-out fight with Rick, interrupted by Michonne managing to run the Governor through with a katana, Lilly returns the favor by finishing him off with an off-screen kill shot. Not wanting to go through another situation like with that of his undead daughter, Penny, The Governor puts a bullet in Meghan's head. Meghan quickly succumbs to a Mud Walker bite, so Lilly does the sensible thing and carries the child's dead body to where The Governor is assaulting the prison. While he was busying himself with warmongering, his new surrogate wife and child - Lilly ( Audrey Marie Anderson) and Meghan ( Meyrick Murphy) - were watching Walkers float downriver or digging up Flash Flood Warning signs. Since this episode was, in essence, The Governor's swan song, it was interesting to see how he was dispatched. This proved to be too much for some of the prison dwellers to deal with and Hershel was only the first casualty. In addition to The Governor's new soldier, Mitch ( Kirk Acevedo), rolling his tank through the prison fences and shelling the crap out of the structure, all the commotion drew nearby Walkers to the scene. Needless to say, Rick's group didn't take too kindly to that, and all Hell broke loose soon afterward. Instead, the lunatic hacked Hershel's head off with Michonne's katana. Although he appeared ready to listen to a compromise in exchange for his prisoners, The Governor opted not to budge when Rick offered him and his people room and board within the prison. While Michonne and Hershel managed to escape the disease without any ill effects, they were unable to escape The Governor as he captured both of them rather easily at the outset. The bulk of this episode centered on the conflict between The Gov's new group and Rick's ( Andrew Lincoln) decimated camp of survivors. It's unfortunate that the Gov didn't get a chance to add bioterrorism to his resume, but it looks as if this mystery will continue into the remaining eight episodes.Įnough about what didn't happen, let's take a look at what did. This eliminated the Gov from being the mastermind behind spreading the disease among the prisoners all fingers now point to a psychopath hiding among the survivors, as evidenced by the plague rat flayed and displayed within the prison. While I was holding out hope that last week's closing scene of The Governor ( David Morrissey) spying on Michonne ( Danai Gurira) and Hershel ( Scott Wilson) in the prison camp was from time before the illness swept through the prison, that turned out not to be the case.
