Merle visited the Governor, who practicing his golf swing at the Woodbury Driving Range. He must be a scratch golfer: He nailed a walker in the head from a couple hundred feet. When Merle persisted, his boss offered him a compromise: Find more concrete information, and the Governor would go on the search with him. My read on this is that the Walking Dead writers decided to transform Merle from a completely unhinged fictional character into a slightly hinged, barely-fictionalized version of Michael Rooker — a transformation I fully support.
Andrea paid a visit to the Governor, too. He poured some of his bourbon. They talked about life. It was just him and his daughter. The Governor said that she would always be welcome.
He told her to take care. He told her his real name: Philip. His big Morrissey eyes lingered on her. Andrea was smitten. Andrea convinced Michonne to stay another day. Michonne was not amused. But I would be remiss if I did not offer at least a few kind words for the other cast member who bit the dust last night. He had no backstory and no truly discernible character traits. He got hurt, went crazy, and then stopped being crazy.
A cynic would point out that the only black character on the show never got to say anything. Boy, was there. T-Dog, zombie-juice coursing through his veins, told Carol that the good lord had put him on earth for the purpose of leading her to safety.
He led her through the tunnels…and ran right into a couple zombies. T-Dog nobly threw himself into the walkers, nobly told Carol to run, and then nobly got completely munched alive. Rick and the Melee Squad found their way to the back-up generator room. Suddenly, Rick was assaulted by an extremely unexpected newcomer: Andrew, the prisoner who Rick left to die in a zombie yard after the great Episode 2 Walker Purge. Andrew and Rick wrestled.
Andrew told him to kill Rick: They could take back the prison themselves. Oscar thought it over, and then shot Andrew in the head. Then, in a moment which immediately made Oscar one of the ten coolest characters on Walking Dead , he did an awesome gun-twirl right out of a spaghetti western and handed Rick his gun back.
Things were going much, much worse for Maggie, Lori, and Carl. Lori was giving birth, and Maggie has to serve as a fourth-string midwife. Carl, meanwhile, was the replacement nurse. Something was wrong; there was too much blood. Lori knew the score. She knew that this was right. She was confident, and fearless, and heroic. And then Maggie cut her belly open and Lori Grimes died. A shot rang out, and Carl walked away, head held low. Rick and the Melee Squad made their way through the tunnels.
They found T-Dog dead. They emerged into the prison yard. They asked Hershel if anyone had seen Lori. And then Rick turned and saw a sight he could barely comprehend. Maggie was covered in blood. She was carrying a baby: The first baby Rick has seen in practically a year. His son was following along. And Lori was nowhere to be seen. Worst of all was the fact left implicit: Rick could have killed Andrew himself; instead, he left the convict to the walkers.
For this oversight, Rick has lost a member of his squad and his own wife. And his own son had to shoot his dead wife in the head. Rick fell down, crying, screaming, incoherent. To quote Maggie Simpson:. Tell me you believe that. Lori Grimes : The blood on Maggie's shirt Glenn Rhee : She was attacked. Lori Grimes : Are you guys all right? How bad was it? Glenn Rhee : It was pretty close. I should never have asked you to go. Glenn Rhee : I offered. Lori Grimes : I thought the town was safe, but if you hadn't come back Glenn Rhee : [Glenn smiles] But we did.
I always do. Lori Grimes : Prenatal vitamins. That's a hell of a choice. Glenn Rhee : I'm glad it's not mine. Lori, we're friends, aren't we? Lori Grimes : With everything we've been through Glenn Rhee : I can't tell you what to do. I could never tell you something like that. But your choice Maybe you shouldn't make it alone. Rick Grimes : Is there something you need to tell me? Lori Grimes : We can't leave. I'm pregnant. Rick Grimes : [Rick holds up the abortion pills wrapper] Are you?
Lori Grimes : I threw them up. You can yell if you want. You can scream if you have to, but talk to me. Rick Grimes : How long have you known? Lori Grimes : Does it matter? Rick Grimes : And you didn't tell me? Lori Grimes : I'm telling you now. Rick Grimes : No! Lori Grimes : We can't protect the son we already have. Rick Grimes : So this is the solution? Lori Grimes : Rick, I threw them up. I screwed up.
I don't know how we do this. Rick Grimes : [Lori cries] We can make it work. Lori Grimes : How? Tell me how. Rick Grimes : We'll figure it out. Shouldn't we try to figure it out? You threw up the pills. Lori helps Hershel with repairing the farm fence and thanks him for everything he's done. As they talk, Hershel mentions how he wants her group to leave soon. She panics and later tells Rick to convince Hershel to change his mind and allow them to stay. Rick says he needs time to wait for the right moment to ask.
Dale confronts Lori about her pregnancy after Glenn reveals it to him. He notices her morning sickness and tells her his wife had the same symptoms. He explains they experienced a miscarriage and stopped trying after that. Lori is distressed that Dale knows about her pregnancy. He asks if she hasn't told Rick yet because of Shane. Lori is horrified Dale knew about her accidental affair with Shane, and explains she slept with him because she "felt like I died with [Rick]" and wanted to feel something.
Dale tries to reason that her baby is worth keeping because he still remembers joy but Lori doesn't think children will have enough good memories made in the apocalypse. Glenn apologizes for telling her secret and Lori forgives him. She then asks him to go on another pharmacy run.
He agrees, taking Maggie with him, but Maggie is attacked by a walker in the pharmacy. When the two return, Maggie screams at Lori for making them risk their lives for her methotrexate pregnancy terminating pills. Glenn later comes to Lori to give her some prenatal vitamins in case she changes her mind. Lori takes the pills to induce a miscarriage, but immediately had a change of heart, running to a nearby field and threw them up.
Rick enters their tent and finds the pills. He confronts Lori. They argue, with Rick angry that she wouldn't tell him nor consult with him about what to do. Lori says she does not want to raise a child in the apocalypse, even though she threw the pills up. Rick is through with their communication issues getting the best of them and he asks her if there's anything else she's hiding. She admits her affair with Shane and Rick admits he knew deep down something had occurred between them.
He says he understands Lori thought he was dead. The group is eating breakfast. Lori notices Rick is lost in thought and asks him where he "went". He reassures her that he's right here. Glenn then tells the group that the barn is filled with walkers.
They're stunned and head down to the barn to check. The walkers bang against the padlocked doors. Rick says he'll talk to Hershel about it but is hesitant to leave the farm as Sophia has not been found yet. Shane wants to leave for Fort Benning. Daryl says he's close to finding Sophia but Shane insults Daryl, who attacks Shane, while Lori and Rick help break up their altercation.
Shane tells Lori "Keep your hands off me". Later, Carl asks Lori if Shane really does believe Sophia is dead. He says he wants to stay until they find her and doesn't want to leave the farm at all.
Rick tells Shane Lori is pregnant. Later, Shane confronts Lori again about thinking Rick was dead, but his confrontation turns into asking her to think of a time when Rick saved her life. He tells her he's saved her life four times now. He then says the reason she didn't abort the baby is because she knows it's his.
Lori tells him it's Rick's but Shane is skeptical. Lori states that the baby will never be Shane's despite any dispute about paternity. Later when Shane opens the barn and frees the walkers, Lori protects Carl, later comforting him and crying when Sophia is revealed as a walker.
Lori tries to comfort Rick who is distraught about Sophia and feels foolish for believing she was still alive. Later, she tries to convince Carol to attend the funeral being held for Sophia but she does not want to attend. Lori is disturbed when Carl tells her he would've put Sophia down if he could. Lori implores Rick to talk him out of his increasingly "cold" state of mind. Dale begins to figure out that Shane killed Otis and tells Lori he feels Shane is dangerous and unpredictable.
After Beth goes into a belated catatonic shock state from the shooting at the barn, Lori tries convincing Daryl to go out and help Rick and Glenn find Hershel. Daryl is offended she would even ask when Rick and Glenn are already out there and yells at her when she calls him selfish. Lori decides to head out herself, taking a map and revolver with her.
As she drives away, she becomes preoccupied while looking at the map and hits a stray walker on the road. The car spins out of control and flips over. Lori awakens in the wrecked car, which is flipped on its side. She screams when she sees a walker trying to break through the windshield to get to her.
She tries to work her way out of the lopsided car and kills the walker with a screwdriver she finds. When she escapes the wreck, another walker attacks her. After a terrifying struggle, Lori eventually retrieves her gun from the car, shooting the walker in the head. Later, Shane finds Lori walking up the road, still attempting to head to town to find Rick.
He gets out of his car and tries to convince her to go home. Lori refuses his attention and refuses to get into the car. Realizing that he has to lie to get her back to the farm, Shane tells Lori that Rick is already back at the farm. They arrive at the farm and Lori immediately finds out Rick is not there. Shane defends his lie, insisting in front of the group that the baby's safety was at stake. The group is shocked to hear Lori is pregnant, including Carl; who is upset he was kept in the dark.
Lori is lost for words and furious at Shane. Later, Carl and Lori discuss the baby, and Carl shares his excitement about being a big brother. Lori tells Dale that she and Rick never gave Carl "the talk" about how babies are made, because they forgot before the world fell apart. Shane appears, asking Lori if they can talk but she is still angry about his dishonesty, both with the white lie about Rick and the ongoing issue of Rick not being dead in the hospital.
She alludes to the Otis incident, to garner Shane's reaction but he says he killed Otis because of his love for Lori and Carl.
Lori tells Shane she told Rick about their affair. Shane becomes agitated, asking Lori if she really told Rick how close they became or if she only told him of their infidelity. He argues his intentions are only ever in keeping Lori safe and wills her to see that she loves him, too. Lori continually denies any emotional depth as Shane frames the affair as the "one good thing" they had since the world fell apart. The next day as the Grimes family is reunited, Rick notices Lori's minor injuries and asks her what happened.
Lori says she was in a car accident. Shane interjects that he had found Lori walking alone looking for Rick, and brought her back to the farm. Rick and Lori are in their tent alone later. Both wounded, they help each other undress. Lori says they need to talk about Shane, because he thinks the baby is his. Lori assures her husband that, no matter what, it will always be Rick's.
Rick confesses that in the bar he took human lives to protect what is his. Lori holds Rick and whispers in his ear that Shane thinks what's Rick's is his; that Shane is dangerous and needs to be stopped.
Rick contemplates Lori's warning. Rick tells Shane that Lori thinks he's dangerous. They discuss the affair and Shane stresses that he had no interest in Lori before the events of the apocalypse. Maggie tells Lori that Glenn froze up at the bar shootout because she "got into his head". Lori brushes this off and tells her Glenn is a big boy. She advises Maggie to tell him to "Man up and get it together" but adds "Just don't say man up". Lori brings Beth a tray of food.
She empathizes with Beth's loss of her mother, saying she herself had tried unsuccessfully to get her own mother on the phone when the apocalypse broke out.
Beth asks Lori how she could have a baby in such a world. Meanwhile, Lori collects Beth 's lunch, which hasn't been touched. As Lori clears Beth's tray, she notices the knife missing. She confronts Beth, who reveals it from under the covers and hands it over. Maggie scolds Beth for considering suicide. Lori and Andrea listen from the kitchen. Andrea tells Lori she shouldn't have taken the knife away — Beth "has to choose to live on her own.
Andrea says she came through it but Lori argues she has stopped helping the group since then. Andrea argues that she keeps guard but Lori says the men already do that and she could help the women around the house instead. Lori says the general house maintenance creates "stability, a life worth living" but Andrea does not see this as important. When Andrea says Lori takes her safety for granted, Lori explains her son was shot and her husband is out on a mission for the hundredth time.
Andrea tells her she's lucky to even have a husband and son to worry about. She also mentions she knows about Lori's affair with Shane. She'll get a husband, son, baby, boyfriend. She just has to look on the bright side".
Later, Andrea deliberately leaves Beth unattended to allow her to make her decision. Beth locks herself in the bathroom and smashes the mirror. Lori pries open the door, but not before Beth has cut her wrist. Andrea asks what happened. Lori reports that Beth didn't cut herself too deeply. Maggie is furious, however, and tells Andrea she's forbidden to enter the Greene Family 's home from now on. Lori finds Rick tying a noose in the barn. He asks if she supports his decision about Randall.
As the sun sets, Rick again asks Lori if she thinks he's doing the right thing. Lori nods. Carl yells at Carol when she tells him they'll see Sophia in heaven one day. Carol confronts Lori and Rick about it. Lori tells Carol to calm down and Carol snaps back "I lost my daughter, I didn't lose my mind". Carl wanders the outskirts of the farm and accidentally antagonizes a walker who ends up following him back to camp. The group gathers in the house. Rick asks if anyone thinks Randall should be spared.
Dale posits that the only people who think so are himself and Glenn, but Glenn too sides with Rick. Eventually, the decision is made to execute Randall. As Rick is about to shoot him, Carl appears and implores his dad to go through with it. Rick brings Carl back to camp and tells Lori what happened. He hears the moans of a dying cow and goes to investigate; the cow had been gutted.
He turns and is attacked by the walker that Carl found in the creek bed. Daryl runs to the scene, where the walker is on top of Dale, tearing into his stomach. Daryl stabs the walker in the head, then shouts for help. Dale's intestines are spilling out of his gut. He goes into shock. Rick tries to get Hershel to begin preparing for surgery but Hershel shakes his head, there's no saving Dale. As Dale writhes on the ground, Carl recognizes the walker as the one he saw earlier. Horrified, he buries his head in Lori's lap and cries.
Daryl ultimately puts Dale down. Lori and others help to pack their belongings into the back of the truck, in order to move everyone into the house, while Rick delegates roles and instructions. Lori witnesses Shane's unhappiness with Rick about his decision to release Randall. Rick is back in command and Shane is obviously bitter about it. Lori is struggling to lift a packed crate.
T-Dog insists that she shouldn't be lifting anything heavy in her condition, then offers to assist, and Lori is grateful. She tells Hershel that she, Rick and Carl will sleep in the living room, but Hershel refuses it; generously offering up his bedroom instead.
Later, Lori approaches Shane, who is fixing the electrical tower. Lori asks Shane to come down from the tower. They lightheartedly reminisce about a pre-apocalypse occasion where Shane showed Rick up by fixing a sink while Rick flooded the basement. Lori tells him that she felt there'd be enough room for emotional recovery after Sophia's death, but after Dale's, the direness of their situation is unavoidable.
Lori says she made a mess of things and put he and Rick at odds, she tells him she really does not know whose baby she's carrying. She remembers the night they escaped the city and thanks Shane for saving her and Carl, and apologizes for the mess made since. Unfortunately, Shane interprets this acknowledgment as rekindled romantic interest and becomes obnoxious toward Rick, teasing him about spending more time dealing with Randall than his own son, who he informs came to him with the gun and told him he was the one who led the walker that killed Dale to the farm.
Later when Shane prepares to kill Rick, he reasons that he is a better man for Lori and that Lori is "a broken woman". Lori is at the house when a huge herd of walkers begins invading the farm. She goes to get Carl, but can't find him and starts to panic. She doesn't want to leave in case Carl comes back, but Carol convinces her they have to go. When she, Beth, Patricia, Carol, and T-Dog try to flee, Patricia is suddenly grabbed and attacked by several walkers, while still holding Beth's hand.
Lori manages to pull Beth away from Patricia, and Carol gets separated from them in the struggle. Lori does not want to leave the location until they look for Rick and Carl, as well as the Greenes. T-Dog gives in when Lori threatens to jump out of the car if he keeps driving away. They reach the highway and reunite with the others except Jimmy and Patricia, who were killed, and Andrea, who was accidentally left behind.
When Daryl questions why Randall was turned despite having no evidence of walker bites, Rick finally informs the group that Dr. Jenner told him in TS the walkers do not pass on infection with bites or scratches, but that the infection is somehow part of them all genetically. If anyone dies at all, they will turn, no matter the cause of death.
The group is disturbed and begin to question why Rick didn't tell them sooner. Later, Lori comforts Rick and tells him he must've had his reasons for not letting the group know. Rick starts to reveal how he killed Shane, becoming too weary of his threats and wanting their feuding to finally end.
He says he knew Jenner was right about the infection when Shane turned almost instantly after being stabbed. During the revelation, a speechless Lori slowly withdraws. She is fearful at what her husband has become, and guilty of her own hand in it. Rick mentions Carl was there and had to put Shane down to save Rick.
Visibly angered and disturbed, Lori hangs her head and takes a few seconds to catch her breath. When Rick tries to touch her, she lashes out, horrified at what the situation has become, as well as Carl's involvement. She walks away, leaving Rick alone. Around the campfire, Rick becomes angered when told by Carol to do something to help their dire situation. Rick indignantly defends his role as reluctant leader; saying he killed his best friend for the group.
Carl is stunned, as he assumed Shane had just been bitten when he caught up to them in the field. He cries as Lori hugs him. Fed up with the group's doubts, Rick implements a dictatorship, saying "this isn't a democracy anymore". A short distance away, the prison is visible. Lori is roughly eight or nine months pregnant.
The survivors are desperate to settle down somewhere safe but are forced to keep moving as walkers follow their every move. It becomes clear Rick is not talking to or acknowledging Lori at all. As the survivors discover an abandoned prison swarming with walkers, Lori helps distract the walkers from behind the interior fence, making it possible for Rick to close the security gate at the other end of the field, securing the location for the night. The group camps around a fire and Beth tells Lori the prison will be a safe place to have the baby.
Lori doesn't respond. Rick joins the camp and silently offers Lori his food, who refuses but eventually accepts when he won't eat it himself. Later, Rick reveals his plan to clear out the rest of the prison block the next morning. Lori tries to convince Rick to let them all spend a few more days just in the secured field. She wants to talk about the baby as well but Rick is in no frame of mind to begin talking to her again and harshly brushes her off.
She is left standing alone, near tears. After securing the prison block, Lori tries to thank Rick but he ignores her again. Lori bunks with Carol. Later, Carol informs Hershel that Lori needs him but won't tell Rick what's wrong. A tearful Lori tells Hershel she hasn't felt the baby kick in a few days and is scared it may turn while still in her womb, possibly even trying to kill her internally.
Even though Hershel doesn't want Lori to think about that, she continues and begs him to put her down if she dies during childbirth and turns, without any hesitation. Hershel reluctantly agrees. She then reveals to him that she believes it would have been better if she'd never made it off the farm, she feels she's a burden and Rick and Carl both hate her. She says she "put the knife in his hand" in regards to Rick killing Shane.
Hershel reasons that her baby does not and never will care about any of this mess. As Rick and the group prepare to clear out and inspect the tombs, Lori watches from her prison cell. When Rick and the group return to C Block with an unconscious Hershel bleeding out from his amputated leg, Lori and Carol rush to stop the bleeding.
They ask for the others to find any bandages or material possible to plug the wound. Carl sneaks away to find the prison infirmary and returns with enough supplies needed to help Hershel. Lori is grateful but angry at Carl for going off alone, and is horrified when he reveals he had to kill walkers to get to the first aid kit. Lori tries to explain that even with the whole crew around him, Hershel still got bit and lost his leg.
Carl becomes angry at being reprimanded and tells Lori "get off my back! She's your mother, you can't talk to her like that". Carl runs away, embarrassed. Lori asks Rick what he plans to do about the prisoners he found in the cafeteria and Rick says he doesn't have many options besides killing them.
Lori assures Rick that while she's a shitty wife and not winning any mother of the year awards, she knows Rick is not a cold-blooded killer and implores him to do whatever he feels is right for protecting the group. Carol notes that Lori must be worried sick about giving birth but Lori reassures her she's fine. Carol then moves out to the field to practice a C-section delivery on a female walker.
Hershel stops breathing and Lori performs CPR on him. He awakens suddenly and grabs Lori, making it seem like he may have turned. However, he was simply startled upon gaining consciousness and falls back into a slumber. Rick returns and shares a sentimental moment with Hershel who thanks Rick with a silent handshake and the group, as they acknowledge how lucky the Greene family are to still be together. Lori exits the room and heads to a passover outside; Rick follows.
Lori and Rick have a sparse conversation, without making eye contact. Rick says he doesn't think Lori is a bad mother, but doesn't correct her when she replies, "but wife is a different story". They both acknowledge ironically that "for better or for worse" this was it: divorce isn't an option. Rick gives Lori credit for saving Hershel, but she admits to hoping Rick wanted to talk about their marriage.
Not ready to forgive and forget yet, Rick can only allow himself to reach out and touch Lori's shoulder stiffly. He thanks her, only on the group's behalf, for saving Hershel, then leaves. Lori begins to cry, leaning into the spot on her arm where Rick touched her. Lori, Beth, and Carl help Hershel use crutches for the first time. They guide him out into the prison yard. Everyone watches happily as Hershel seems to be fully recovering.
Rick and Lori smile warmly at each other on opposite sides of the fence. The moment of happiness is broken when walkers suddenly swarm the yard, right where Lori, Carl, Beth and Hershel are standing. Rick and Daryl race to unlock the gates separating them as Glenn rushes to secure the prison fence. Lori, Maggie, and Carl flee to Cell Block C only to discover there are walkers swarming the inside, too. Running through the dark corridors of the prison tombs, the stress of the situation causes Lori to go into early labor.
Carl finds them a safe place inside the boiler room. Lori tries pushing but begins hemorrhaging. She is close to losing consciousness and Maggie tells her that she needs to have a C-section or else the baby will die, too. Lori makes the decision to have her abdomen cut open with Carl's knife, so the baby can be removed, despite knowing she will not survive the procedure.
She tells him "you are going to beat this world" and to "always do what's right", don't do anything just because it's the easy option; "don't let the world spoil you". She tells him he was "the best thing I ever did" before they begin to cry and embrace each other. Maggie cries too. Lori asks Maggie to put her down once the delivery is done because "it can't be Rick". Lori says "Goodnight, love" as her way of saying goodbye to Carl before Maggie reluctantly cuts her open, stating: "I'm sorry" before she begins.
The shock and loss of blood causes Lori to scream and lose consciousness almost instantly, as Maggie successfully delivers the baby. Carl is unable to speak from shock and cries as he watches his mother's limp body. The baby is momentarily unconscious before Maggie performs a light version of CPR and the baby begins crying. Maggie prepares to leave, but Carl reminds her that Lori will turn. As Maggie pulls out her gun, Carl tells her he wants to do it because Lori is his mother.
Maggie heads to the door to check if the swarm of walkers has left. Carl faces his mother one final time and remembers what Rick told him in Better Angels about being prepared for everyone he loves to die eventually. Carl kisses his mother goodbye. Maggie sees the walker herd leaving and heads back to where Carl is, just as a gunshot rings out. Carl walks silently past her to the door as she stands there, speechless. Back in the prison yard, Rick is consulting with Hershel and Beth about the whereabouts of everyone missing.
He is midway through arranging for Daryl, Glenn, Oscar, Axel and himself to go back through the prison when he hears the cries of the newborn baby. Rick turns around to see Carl and Maggie emerging from C Block.
Rick walks to Maggie as she holds the baby, and attempts to speak to him but cannot form the words. Rick asks "Where Rick begins to cry and briefly attempts to comfort Carl before becoming overwhelmed with emotion upon realizing what Carl's stoic demeanor means. He collapses on the ground nearby while Maggie, still holding the baby, is comforted by Glenn.
The rest of the group is stunned silent. In Rick's grief, he heads into the prison tombs to retrace Lori's final journey. He eventually reaches the boiler room and finds her shoes and jeans. He also finds the walker who devoured her and a piece of hair lingers on its mouth.
He takes the hair and stabs the walker several times in the gut. Rick begins to hallucinate the voices of Amy, Jim, and Jacqui through a nearby defunct telephone. He is unable to tell who they are at first and believes he has found help. They ask him several questions: "How many walkers have you killed? How many people have you killed? They hang up on him when he won't reveal why he killed people. They call back eventually and he reveals his reasons. Rick temporarily cleans up and checks on the group but will not acknowledge the baby.
Rick then tells Hershel about the phone and Hershel after testing the phone realizes Rick needs to go through this, leaving him to it. Rick is confused when the voices on the phone know about Lori's death, before Lori's own voice comes through, revealing that the calls were merely hallucinations in Rick's mind.
Rick breaks down upon realizing he's talking to her, and begins to explain why he acted so distant from her. He felt that he could not realistically approach their marriage problems until they were safe.
He tells her that regardless of his treatment of her, he loved her. She tells him that she loves him too, but he needs to get it together for Carl and his newborn daughter, telling him that they need him.
