The Walking Dead Main Title

Hello!

There is a big party in Woodbury and the Governor combs the hair of his daughter Penny that is a walker in his house. When he leaves the place, Michonne breaks in the house to retrieve her sword and then she kills seven imprisoned walkers. Merle brings her to the Governor and she threatens him with her blade pointed to his throat. Michonne leaves Woodbury but Andrea prefers to stay.

Meanwhile in prison, Rick is absolutely disturbed and takes an ax to kill walkers inside the cell block. Daryl and Maggie seek powdered milk for the starved baby, otherwise she will die. The exhausted Rick rests and is awakened by a long time forgotten sound.

"Say the Word" is an episode where very few things happen. Michonne has never trusted on the Governor and leaves Woodbury. Andrea decides to stay and is disappointed during the night with the barbarian "gladiator game" that she watches. I bet she will certainly miss Michonne. Daryl is one of my favorite characters and it is impressive how supportive his character is. Rick is insane through the prison corridors, attacking even Glenn that has followed him to help. But the best and most intriguing scene is the last one. My vote is seven.
