For the first time in the show, I can honestly say that Beth's character is intriguing after some serious character development in this episode. Initially, her character was boring in season 2, but after tonight's episode, I see beth as a survivor who is able to get her hands dirty without having to lose herself (humanity) in the process. She showed the audience that she is brave enough to speak out her mind and deal with the horrors of the post- apocalyptic world, which is seen as she absolutely ridicules Officer Dawn's philosophy on "building a system" where you "are needed for the greater good of society". What makes this even more impressive was that beth did this, despite knowing that she would get beaten by officer dawn - a controlling, abusive, and delusional physcopath. Beth also displays a certain level of intelligence that illustrates her experience as a survivor when she confronts the coward of a doctor. He gives Beth wrong instructions in treating a patient - who is also a doctor - in order to save his own ass and maintain his worth in "the system". however, Beth sees through his lies quite easily as reveals him for what he is: a coward. Her escape from the clutches of the demented police officers with Noah was thrilling to say the least, shinning the limelight on her as she kills a dozen or so walkers. Her newfound bravery, mixed with a sentimental yet brutal side to her character has made Beth more likable than ever before in this show! This episode had a mix of suspenseful character development and thrilling scenes of action where Beth rose to the occasion and showed her true colours as she helped Noah escape (despite being captured herself, where she smiles)! Cannot wait for what angle the writers take Beth's character on in future Walking Dead episodes! Best Season Yet!!!
