Storyline
The caravan of survivors find the road blocked by smashed-up cars and the cooling water hose of Dale's truck bursts. The group decides to stop to get fuel and supplies from the vehicles but out of the blue, a pack of walkers come in their direction. Dale stays in the top of the truck and the others hide below the cars. Sophia leaves the hideout too soon and two zombies chase her. Rick rushes after the walkers, reaches Sophia and asks her to stay hidden in the bank of a stream. When Rick kills the zombies and returns to Sophia, he does not find the girl anymore in the place. The group organizes a pursuit to seek out the girl. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Dale Horvath: I had it fixed yesterday.
T-Dog: What? What was all that rubbing and sanding for then? Just bullshit?
Dale Horvath: Yeah, that's one word. Another word would be pantomime - just for show. No one else needs to know that.

The scene where the group is hiding under the cars was shot in Georgia on Highway 20 during a heat wave. See more »Goofs
When the gang is hiding from the walkers under the cars, T-dog gets spotted by one of the walkers. He cuts his arm on a car door and blood starts spraying out. When he gets up to run in the other direction, his arm is normal. See more »Quotes

There are thousands of cars, trucks, and some Winnebagos stalled on the roads, with their keys in the ignition, and yet these folks are driving around the same old filthy Camper that looks like the one James Rockford was living in back in the 1970s TV series, The Rockford Files. Not surprisingly, it breaks down. Talk about a cliché?
So now all of this group of complainers is watching the zombie herd walk by, and the old lady with the crew cut is whining about everything, and suddenly her autistic-acting daughter, Sophia, jumps up and starts running through the zombies. The main character, Rick, does his typical acting shocked routine, and looks at all the zombies and runs after the little girl. After a mile or two running around in the woods, he tells the girl to wait by a tree, so he can go kill two zombies. Of course, the girl disappears.
This is where I realized that this series had crashed and burned, and it was dead and should be buried. Talk about a manufactured emergency? Why couldn't Officer Rick just stay near the girl and kill the zombies when they came by? Either way, the girl was in danger. That's the whole reason he ran after her in the woods. So she would not be alone, facing zombies. So once he catches up to her, what does he do? He leaves her alone. This was just too dumb.
The whole reason Sophia ran away and got lost was so that the group could spend the whole season on Hershel's farm, conveniently away from traffic, buildings, and cities, and where the zombies only occasionally drop by. They also got to milk this girl's disappearance for several episodes of crying, misery, complaining, mourning, and various characters getting into trouble while looking for the missing girl.
Bottom line, this is a great episode to watch if you want to see what is wrong with turning the zombie genre into a soap opera of whiny and unhappy people stuck on a farm.
