This was a phenomenal episode. I was particularly impressed because, the way things started out, I thought it could readily end up in just another boring shootout with predictable plot lines. But that's not at all what happened. I was impressed with Carol's resourcefulness and most UNIMPRESSED with "Neegan" being sufficiently plumb-ignorant to let Carol hold on to a rosary with a metal crucifix that could (and, in fact, did) turn into an escape tool. The episode offered the proper balance of tension, horror, character development, edge-of-your-seat timing, and relief. I was left with one question, however: how is it that Carol managed to escape from the room where she was being held? Were there no locks on the door? If not, then how did Paula and her buddies keep the "growlers" (their term for "walkers") from barging in? Surely they have enough "intelligence" to push or pull an unlocked door open!
