Rick, Glenn, Michonne, and Tyreese help Noah find his home.

This is a very bleak yet beautifully made episode with memorable character moments.

I cannot say much about plot details without spoiling except that the writers put the audience through another difficult experience.

It has excellent visual storytelling alongside a strong soundtrack. Both the music, dialogue and radio news broadcasts work very well. This is one of the best edited episodes in the show so far.

Other reviewers have mentioned certain plot contrivances that are valid points when you focus closely on the details of the action depicted. However, in the grand scheme of the messages and themes the writers put across when developing a specific character, for me it does not make much difference. It is the outcome for one individual that matters in this episode and everything that has led to it in so many previous episodes.

Incidentally, for those who enjoy the zombie action, this contains one of the best zombie fight sequences in the show so far. It is a rare instance when movie/tv actually uses slow motion well.

All performances are excellent as always, particularly Chad Coleman and Tyler James Williams.
