Season 2, Episode 2
9/10
The Last Hope for Carl
25 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Before the zombie apocalypse, Lori tells a friend while waiting for Carl at school that she had an argument with Rick the night before. Meanwhile Shane arrives and tells that Rick is in a surgery and tells what happened on the road.

Rick runs seeking for help, carrying Carl on his arm while Shane follows them with the hunter Otis that had accidentally shot Carl. They reach a farm and Carl is attended by an old man called Hershel. He finds that the bullet has shattered in six fragments and he needs Rick's blood for transfusion to Carl. He withdraw one piece, but he concludes that he needs surgical supplies to remove the other five fragments, and Shane and Carl head to a school that is surrounded by walkers to get the medical supplies. One daughter of Mr. Hershel rides a horse and brings Lori to the farm.

Meanwhile Dale finds that T-Dog has an infection in his arm and needs to take antibiotic. The group agrees to spend the night on the road waiting for Sophia and travel to Mr. Hershel's farm in the morning.

When Lori finds that Mr. Hershel is a veterinary, she gets afraid with the fate of Carl. Meanwhile, Shane and Otis get the necessary supplies but are under siege of dozens of walkers.

"Bloodletting" is focused in the drama of Rick and Lori seeing their beloved son Carl dying. Their only hope lies on the hands of an old veterinary. It is an absurd that Lori arrives dirty and sweaty and runs to the room where Carl is resting. Further, her comments to Mr. Hershel are absolutely inappropriate due to the circumstances. The final scene seems to be a promise of another great show. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Bloodletting"
