This is another one of those melodramatic episodes that doesn't really achieve what TWD should set out to be according to the bulk of the series thus far.
Not the worst episode of the series, but definitely just a means to an end sort of affair to get us to the mid-season finale. There is of course human drama in the apocalypse, but it shouldn't all be condensed into one episode like this.
- Andrea is mad at Shane over some offhanded comments that he made during gun training, but then in the same episode begins to hook up with him, because why not, I guess.
- Lori finds out Hershel wants them gone now that Carl is better, but she also is still hiding her pregnancy, and she's mad Carl is learning to shoot in an apocalypse?
- Dale finds out from Glenn that there are walkers in the barn, and that Lori is pregnant, so he spends the majority of the episode putting his nose where it doesn't belong. Especially when it comes to him and Shane.
- Maggie and Glenn make another run into town where trouble strikes and Maggie realizes the world isn't as it seems to her father.
- Rick eventually finally figures out that Lori is pregnant after she fails to hide her evidence and she tells him about her affair with Shane which only makes matters worse.
