They realize that everyone’s been exposed, especially because they live in extremely close quarters and also it’s pretty likely they’re not washing their hands very often. The Council of Leadership ( Hershel, Carol, Daryl, Sasha and Glenn) convenes to discuss coping with the zombieflu. Is Lizzie the one feeding rats to the zombies? Who’s letting the kids run outside in the middle of the night to hang out with the undead? And also devastated by the second death of Nick, her beloved my pet monster. But Lizzie’s not weak, she’s just messed up. As their new mother-surrogate, Carol needs to make sure these girls can survive the zombpocalypse. Carol, the girls’ new caretaker, knifes un-Ryan in the head before he can become a zombie and devour his daughters. Lizzie offers to do the deed because that’s what her father taught her, but she spirals into a panic attack and can’t follow through. He slips away as Lizzie holds his hand and Carol tells the girls they have to dispatch him now, before he turns. She rounds up his two angelically blonde daughters, Lizzie and Micah and brings them in to say goodbye. The core group survives, although someone who looks a lot like Beth went down and my heart almost stopped at the thought of losing Judith’s babysitter.Ĭarol attempts to save Ryan by amputating his zombie-bit arm, but she realizes he was also attacked in the back of his head. Patrick lurches out of the bathroom and tears into another new red shirt and soon there is a zombie uprising surging through the prison. Just when our beloved survivors think they’re doing so great, growing crops and raising piglets and cleaning out cell blocks and teaching children survival skills, another threat attacks them from the inside. The Rise of ‘The Walking Dead’: 5 Shockers From Rolling Stone’s Cover He headed to the prison bathroom to take a shower but didn’t even have time to reach for the soap before his eyes exploded and he died, turning zombie within seconds. Patrick, one of the new guys, was feeling pretty crummy. Just in time for Halloween! And also just in time for Rolling Stone’s cover story on the gorefest! Synergy! Given that the network has just commissioned a new spin-off show about the pair, I don't think she's got anything to worry about.Pass me that hand sanitizer, zombiefans, because tonight’s episode of The Walking Dead was a pure return to form, filled with terrifying imagery and horrific consequences. It's an interesting way to close out the story not on any violence, cliffhanger, or tragedy, but merely on a mood of uneasy indifference and enmity between the duo as they settle down for the night.Ĭarol is wondering if their luck as a dream team is running out. It's possible that the architects behind The Walking Dead are preparing for her eventual return, but the character's sudden, unexplained departure leaves us scratching our heads over what the point of this episode was.Īt the very least, "Find Me" does close with a much stronger scene between Daryl and Carol back in the present day, cleansing the palate with a more believable conversation between two characters whose relationship we understand, even if that conversation takes the form of a heated argument. Symptomatic of its rushed pace, Leah's exit from Daryl's life equally occurs all too abruptly, and without much resolution. By comparison, his fling with Leah feels like being privy to a weird, Freudian dream. His current relationship with Connie, for example, feels much more authentic, having developed organically over the course of two seasons, with points of connection and empathy that we can clearly identify between the two. The character's first on-screen romance deserves more than a handful of wistful flashbacks. There just simply isn't enough time in a single episode to give us a clear picture of why Daryl fell in love with this woman we've only just met.Īfter all, This is Daryl Dixon we're talking about the infamously introverted lone wolf who doesn't open up to even his closest friends until they’ve gone to hell and back together. The pair go from almost killing each other to becoming a domestic couple in the space of 30 minutes, with an almost hilariously cliched montage used to gloss over years of their blossoming romance. For one thing, Daryl's romance with Leah, a similarly misanthropic hermit living with her dog (yes, the Dog) in a forest cabin, comes across as rushed.
