Storyline

Tensions are rising at the Greene farm. Shane thinks they've spent way too much time looking for Sophia and thinks they should abandon the search. Herschel Greene thinks the visitors are becoming too familiar and taking his hospitality for granted. He particularly warns his daughter Maggie not to get involved with Glen. Daryl sets off on his own to search for Sophia but an unexpected encounter leaves him seriously injured. Lori has confirmed that she is pregnant but hasn't told anyone. Glen can't quite figure out what Maggie's feelings are and tries to get advice about women from Dale. Glen manages to get Maggie to meet him in the barn late that night but isn't prepared for what he finds.

User Reviews

A good "Daryl" episode..

Daryl makes an alone search for Sophia again. While searching, he had an accident, and now he must both rescue himself from his situation and deal with his brother Merle's vision taunting him.

Glenn makes a shocking discovery about Lori, and she begs him not to tell anybody.

Shane thinks they should give up looking for Sophia and head to Fort Benning. Although Rick thinks opposite at first, later he comes to term with him. Lori had an angry talk with Shane.

Glenn goes to barn at midnight, and again he makes another shocking discovery.

This episode is about Daryl I think. Daryl is my favorite character in this series, and this episode is dedicated to him, I think. Apart from that, the story progresses nicer than the previous episode and It is funny that Glenn makes two discoveries in a row. Ends with a good climax.

My vote is 8/10.
