Episode 3, Four Walls and a Roof
Summary:
Four Walls and a Roof kicks off with Team Terminus in some type of building which is surrounded by walkers. They have Bob (who is not looking good) and they are trying to convince Bob that they have a legit reason for being cannibals.
As they torturing Bob with their chatter Bob starts to laugh and he shows them all that he was bit. They may have him but he is pretty sure that he’s killed them in return.
Back at the camp Sasha is outside looking for bob when she is attacked by a few walkers. Tyreese & Rick come out go out and keep Sasha from going out into the dark to look for Bob. And Team Rick is now split up again. Carol & Daryl went off after the car that took Beth and Bob is in the hands of Team Terminus.
Inside the prison everyone has turned on Gabriel, not sure if he is involved in the current disappearances. With Rick threatening him we get Gabriel’s back story. When it just started he locked out the living and the people he locked out of the church were torn to pieces by the walkers. Surviving is sometimes hard.
When Gabriel is done telling his tale Team Rick hears something outside and when they look they see that Bob has been dropped off – but he is unconscious and I’m not sure if they are going to realize he was bitten – which means he might be a Bob Zombie Bomb at this point. But when we come back from commercial Bob is awake and he is telling Team Rick what Gareth and the rest of Team Terminus did to him.
Rick wants to wait for Carol & Daryl as well as go take some vengeance on Team Terminus but Sgt. Abraham Ford wants to leave for DC and take Eugene with him. Sgt. Ford wants to take the bus and leave which almost comes to blows but Glenn cuts a deal. Glenn & Maggie will go with Team Eugene if Sgt. Ford will stay and help with whatever is going to go down with Team Terminus.
Rick wants to attack and make Team Terminus pay for what they did. A short while later we see Team Terminus break into the church. We see Carl and Gabriel inside, but it is dark and its not really clear what all is going down. Gareth starts listing out all the people who are in the church, and he knows that Rick & the others left – but not why. Which makes me wonder how the dude doesn’t suspect an ambush?
The attack out of the dark was beautiful. I loved the silenced weapons ambush and the following slaughter. I so didn’t want Rick to just let them go like old Rick would have done. It is a brutal world, and Team Rick/Eugene did what they had to do. Even if it horrified some of the others.
The next morning everyone takes their turn saying farewell to Bob – who is very philosophical in his dying moments. He sees Judith, and hope. Then Team Rick somehow leaves Sasha in the room alone with Bob just as he dies and turns. Come on, why the hell would you leave her in there alone at that point? I really thought Bob was going to attack.
The episode ends with Sgt. Ford leaving with Eugene and taking Glenn & Maggie with him on the bus. They give Rick their route as best they know and then drive off.
Or it almost ends there. In the last minute Michonne and Gabriel have a heart warming moment on the front steps of the porch which is interrupted by something in the woods. When Michonne goes to investigate she finds Daryl coming out of the woods – but we don’t know who is with or where Carol is!
Things I loved about this episode…
- Bob yelling – “Tainted meat.”
- Team Rick taking down team Terminus with some silenced weapons in the dark.
Things that I didn’t like about this episode…
- Glenn offering to go with Sgt. Ford in exchange for him staying to help Rick with whatever is going to go down with Team Terminus.
- Would Rick really leave his daughter inside the church no knowing if an accidental shot could hit her?
- Tyreese looking horrified that Rick and the others butchered Team Terminus. What the hell did he want to do, let the cannibals go?
- Team Rick seems way to casual about having a Zombie Bob Bomb lying in bed. Someone should have been sitting there with a pistol towards his head on guard duty the whole time.
- Come on Glenn, why would you take Maggie and go with Sgt. Ford? Rick is a better leader by a factor of ten.
