Dale confronts Hershel after Glenn tells him about the walkers in the barn. Meanwhile, Lori struggles to come to terms with her pregnancy, and Shane tries to teach Andrea how to use weapons.

( chickens clucking )

Don't look so worried.

lt's my job.

No, it's not.
You're a housewife.

Yeah, punk?

You see my house
around here?

Housewife.

( cheeping )

They don't have a mother.

She might be
somewhere else.

Maybe she got eaten.



Everything is food
for something else.

- ( Ieg cracks )
- ( squawking loudly )

( leg cracks )

( growling )

( clucking )

( snarls )

( bones cracking )

( theme music playing )

Could you be more obvious?

Here, enjoy.

Are you trying to buy
my silence with fruit?

Of course not.
There's also jerky.

Will you please tell me why your dad
has a secret barn fuII of waIkers?

- lt's creepy.
- Shh.



- You know that, right?
- Shh.

Just trust me
on this, okay?

But l suck at lying.

l can't even play poker.
lt's too much like lying.

You have to keep this
to yourseIf.

You have to. Please.

Dale, here's some
peaches for you.

Mm, thank you.

- Morning.
- Andrea: Morning.

- 'Sup?
- Nothing.

Nothing's up.
Why?

Hey.

This is not
that great, but...

What, no pictures?

I'm so sorry.
l feel like shit.

Yeah, you and me both.

l don't expect you
to forgive me,

but if there's
anything l can do...

You were trying
to protect the group.

We're good.

But, hey,

shoot me again,
you'd best pray l'm dead.

What did Rick say?

You didn't tell him?

Okay.

But you have to.

You're pregnant.

You need vitamins, medicine,
a nice piIIow.

You can have my share.

Honey, l don't want
your food, okay? Eat.

You need to eat.
You're too skinny.

And if you're not gonna let Rick take
care of you, then someone has to.

Lori, you have
a medical condition.

l'll make another run into town.
Just teII me what you need.

l need you to be quiet
about this.

All right? Please.

( Shane whistles )
Hey! Peach man.

The creek fIows south,
past that farmhouse Daryl found.

Maybe Sophia dropped
the doll there,

the current
brought it downstream.

So what, you think she took this road
here and then she went north?

Yeah.
What's up that way?

A housing development.

lt went in
maybe 10 years ago.

Take a run up there
after gun practice.

l'll hold down the fort here,
but take backup.

After what went down
with Daryl,

l don't want anyone going out alone.
We stay in pairs.

l'll take suggestions
on a partner.

See how they do on the range,
then take your pick.

Thanks.

My binoculars.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, bye.

We'd Iike to join you
for gun training today.

Hershel's been very clear.

l can't involve any of you in what
we do without his okay.

He doesn't like it,
but he consented.

Otis was the only one
who knew guns.

Now that he's gone,

we gotta learn
to protect ourselves.

Her father saw
the sense in that.

No offense, but l'll ask
Hershel myself.

Dude, nice lid, man.

What's going on?

l want to learn
to shoot, too.

- Can you teach me?
- ( chuckIes )

Well, man, that's--
that's up to your parents.

Can you talk to them?
They'II Iisten to you.

( chuckles )

We'll see, okay?

- ( clicking )
- Hey.

Let me see what
you've got there.

Come on.

How the hell
did this happen?

WeII, it's my fauIt.
l let him into the RV.

He said he wanted a walkie,
that you sent him for one.

So on top of everything else,
he Iied.

What's he thinking?

He wants to learn how to shoot.
He asked me to teach him.

Now it's none of
my business,

but l'm happy to do it.
It's your caII.

WeII, I'm not
comfortable with it.

( sighs )

Oh, don't make me out to be
the unreasonable one here. Rick?

I know.
l have my concerns too, but--

There's no but.
He was just shot.

He's just back on his feet
and he wants a gun?

Better than him
being afraid of 'em.

There are guns in camp
for a reason.

He shouId Iearn
to handle them safely.

l don't want my kid
walking around with a gun.

How can you
defend that?

You can't let him go around
without protection.

He's as safe as
he'll ever be right here.

Look, everything
you're saying

makes perfect sense.
lt feels wrong.

I mean,
l didn't feel good

about him following you
out into the woods.

And l wish l'd said something.
I shouId've gone with my gut.

He's growing up,
thank God.

We've got to start treating him
more Iike an aduIt.

Then he needs
to act like one.

He's not mature enough
to handle a gun.

I'm not gonna
play with it, Mom.

lt's not a toy.

I'm sorry
l disappointed you,

but l want to look
for Sophia.

l want to defend
our camp.

I can't do that
without a gun.

Shane's the best
instructor l know.

l've seen him teach kids
younger than CarI.

You will take this seriously

and you wiII
behave responsibly.

And if l hear from anyone
in this camp

that you are not living up
to our expectations--

He won't let you down.

Yeah.

Now if we're gonna do this,
you Iisten to Shane.

- Okay, Dad.
- All right?

- You be careful.
- You coming?

I gotta heIp DaIe cIean
the spark plugs on the RV.

He said he's gonna
teach me mechanics.

l should probably go
Iook for him.

- You found me.
- ( car engine starts )

He's a good learner.

Spark plugs, huh?

Want to tell me
what's going on?

You're old.

You're-- you know things.

So what if somebody
told you something

that somebody else
shouId know--?

Glenn, stop being dramatic.
Spit it out.

There's-- there's walkers
in the barn

and Lori's pregnant.

( gunfire )

Hey, come on, man.
Don't give me that gangsta shit.

Attaboy.

Don't be discouraged.

You'll hit the target
eventually.

Who says l didn't hit
my target?

Try this one.
lt's heavy.

You get better balance,
twice the rounds.

l'd say she's got
the hang of it.

l'd say she's ready
for the advanced class.

lt might be
worth your while

after the rest of us
head back to camp.

Sure. Why not?

- How's it feeling?
- I Iike the weight.

So you decided
not to leave us.

Something change your mind?

- Got it.
- That's a great shot.

Nervous Nelly.

She find her way home?

Found her in her stall
this morning.

l love your fields.

Took a long walk
this morning.

l ended up by the barn.

l heard the moans.

That's unfortunate.

l'm sure you have your reasons
for keeping this a secret.

I saw the broadcasts
before they stopped,

saw the irrational fear,
the atrocities,

like the incident
at my well.

We put down a walker.

You killed a person.

Well, if you watched
the same broadcasts l did,

you saw walkers attack, kill.

They're dangerous.

A paranoid schizophrenic
is dangerous, too.

We don't shoot
sick peopIe.

With all due respect,

you are cut off
from the outside world here.

But l've seen people
that l cared about

die and come back,

and they're not people.

My wife and stepson

are in that barn.

They're people.

l'm sorry.

Let me help.

l'll speak to Rick.
He's a good man.

We can make the barn more secure,
keep everybody safe.

The barn is secure.

Keep this to yourself
if you want to help.

Rick is a man of conscience,

but are you so sure about
everyone in your group?

Afternoon.

l take it your boy did well.

Not bad, actually.

Be grateful you don't
have a daughter.

lf only things were as simple
as wanting to shoot.

Carl's getting that chance,
thanks to you.

And l'm eternally grateful

for what you did
and your hospitality.

We'll earn our keep.

l appreciate that,
but with Carl getting better,

l imagine you'll be
moving on soon--

Fort Benning, l hear.

( gunshot )

- Still a virgin.
- The target's too small.

Come on, that's crap.
HaIf-hour ago

I saw you naiI
a bull's-eye at 25 feet.

lt wasn't moving.

You think a walker's
gonna hold still for you?

Focus and reload,
go again.

Uh-oh, did l piss you off?

Come on, girl, you've got
waIkers aII around you.

They're the woods.
They're in the RV.

You're gonna need more
than a damn screwdriver.

- Stop badgering me.
- You're too damn emotional.

You need to shut it down.
Take aII that guiIt,

take that fear,
that being pissed off, take it out.

Right, 'cause you're so calm.

See that?
See, l can be pissed off.

I couId be whistIing "Dixie"
and l'll always hit the target.

But you, God, you shoot
like a damn girl.

You stand here
and you point your weapon.

Point like you point your finger.
Do not think about it.

l'm talking about
muscle memory, girl--

muscle memory.

Now go on, shoot that
son of a bitch.

He's coming for you!
He's 10 feet away!

He's nine feet--
he's five feet away!

Right there, that's
the walker that got Amy.

Now you shoot that son of a bitch!
Shoot him!

Hershel expects us
to Ieave?

Does anybody else know?

Not yet.

- Were you gonna tell me?
- Of course.

When? How long
have you known?

Not long. You don't need
to worry about this.

How can you expect me not to worry?
We have shelter here

and food and water
and medical care.

l've been talking with Hershel.
lt's not carved in stone.

He thinks it is.

We have to fix this.

People are settling in here.
They'II be devastated.

I know.
l'm working on it.

Maybe l can talk to him, too,
and pIead our case.

No, things are uneasy.
The best thing right now

is to give Hershel
some space.

Don't look at me like that.

Like what?

Like you're scared.
Like you don't trust me.

l can take it from everyone
eIse, but not from you.

I don't understand
how you could keep

something like this
from me.

Carl's barely on his feet.
And Sophia's missing.

And Daryl and T-Dog are hurt.
How can we leave?

lt's not what l want either,
but if we have to go,

l'll do whatever it takes
to make sure

you and Carl are okay.

We'll get by.
We wiII.

Okay.

Come on,
let me give you a lift.

My feet work just fine.

Look, l'm just trying
to get you rattled,

give you an idea

what it's like when
the shit starts to fly.

ls that an apology?

l crossed the line
when l brought Amy into it.

Yeah, it's an apology.

You're a real dick
sometimes.

Yeah, l acknowledge that.
I'II teII you what:

I've got a Iead on Sophia.
l'm gonna go check it out.

Why don't you come with me,
be my backup?

Come on.

My wife was
pregnant once.

She miscarried

and we didn't try again
after that.

l'm so sorry.

The thing
that l remember most

is how nauseated
she became

at the smell
of cooking meat.

And she was
a meat-eating gal-- my wife,

but with the pregnancy...

That Thanksgiving,

the turkey--

she couldn't be
in the house

for two days until
it was aired out,

poor thing.

Glenn told you?

What did you expect?
The boy has no guile.

l haven't told Rick.

l can't.

Because of Shane?

Was it that obvious?

No, no, I don't
think anyone knew.

l didn't, not for sure.

Look, l thought
my husband was dead.

And l felt like
l'd died with him.

And l--

l wanted to feel
something-- anything.

And now l hate myself for it.

And the baby?

lt's Rick's.

None of the rest
of it matters.

Then what's your concern?

Memories are
what keep me going now.

Memories of what life
used to be.

And l--

l've got a deep well
to draw on.

l still rememberjoy.

But l think Carl's well
is already running dry.

And this baby--

the baby won't have
any good memories at all,

only fear and pain.

You can't think like that.

We can still find joy

and we can stiII take
strength from each other.

Do you reaIIy think
this baby has a chance,

that it could grow up
and live a happy life?

Look me in the eye
and teII me

that my baby will grow up
to be your age

and die happy.

Tell me.
Tell me you believe that.

l'm sorry. l'm-- it just came out.
And it was Dale.

lt's okay. l never should have
put you in that position.

I've been thinking
about what you said

about needing help.

And you're right that l do.

Name it. Yeah.

lf you're still willing to make
a run into town for me...

l'm your man.

Thank you.

It's okay.
lt's not a big deal really.

GIenn:
You didn't have to come.

You could hate me
from a distance.

Please say something.

- Maggie, I--
- l asked for your trust

and you betrayed it.
Now my dad's pissed at me.

Your turn.

So your dad thinks
they're sick?

You agree with that,

even after what you saw
at the weII?

l'm not sure what l saw
at the weII.

Yes, you are.

Look, if you'd seen Atlanta,

you would not have
a barn full of walkers.

l wish you'd stop
calling them that.

What do you call them?

Mom,

Shawn,

Mr. and Mrs. Fischer,
Lacey, Duncan.

What does she want now?

l can't say.

So when one of them asks you
to keep your mouth shut...

Crawl out of my butt

and help me look, please.

You've got to be kidding me.

- ( snarls )
- Help!

Glenn, help!

Oh, God!

- Maggie!
- Glenn, help me!

Help! Glenn!

Get it off me!
HeIp!

Did it get you?
Did it bite you?

( sobbing )

Glenn!

( Glenn grunting )

( panting )

We're gonna have to go
house to house.

We'II start at the far end
and we'll work our way back.

lf Sophia got this far,
she has a real shot,

don't you think?

Maggie:
Hey! We got your stuff.

Maggie, hang on, please.

- Come on in here.
- Why? Nothing to hide.

We got your
special delivery right here.

We got your Iotion,
got your conditioner,

- your "Soap Opera Digest."
- Maggie.

Next time you want something,
get it your damn self.

- We're not your errand boys.
- Honey, I--

And here's your
abortion piIIs.

- That was not cool.
- Which part?

The part where that bitch
almost got us killed?

l should've gone alone.

lf you want to blame
anybody, blame me.

Right, take the blame.

You know, for a smart guy,
you're reaIIy stupid.

Okay, l'm confused,

because I think you just paid me
a compliment, but you made it s--

I've aIready Iost
three of the people

that l care about most
in this world.

- Maggie--
- Shut up.

You're smart.
You're brave.

You're a Ieader.
But you don't know it.

And your friends
don't want to know it.

They'd rather have you
fetching peaches.

There's a dead guy in the well?
Send Glenn down.

You're walker bait.

l can't take you
becoming one of them.

Sophia?

Anyone?

Shane:
Shh, shh, shh.

Sophia?

They walled off
the hallway?

They tried
to make a stand here.

Sophia?

( flies buzzing )

She was never here,

was she?

l don't know how to tell Carol
this was another dead end.

( walkers snarling )

Come on, let's move.

Cover that street.
I'II cIear the car.

( gunshots )

- ( gun clicks )
- Oh, shit.

Focus now.
Clear the jam. Focus.

- Are you kidding me?
- l got your back. Now go.

- ( snarls )
- ( gunshot )

Andrea, Andrea, let's go.

Come on.

Andrea, come on.

The bIood
on Maggie's shirt--

She was attacked.

Are you guys all right?
How bad was it?

lt was pretty close.

l'm so sorry.

l should never have
asked you to go.

l offered.

I thought the town was safe,
but if you hadn't come back--

But we did.
l always do.

The morning-after pills--
will they even work?

l don't know.

I don't know
if l want them to.

Then l got these, too,

just in case.

Prenatal vitamins.

That's a hell of a choice.

l'm glad it's not mine.

Lori, we're friends,
aren't we?

With everything
we've been through, yeah.

l can't tell you
what to do.

l could never tell you
something like that.

But your choice--

maybe you shouldn't
make it aIone.

Come on, then.

Get over here.
Get over here.

( horn honks )

( stifled sobs )

( whimpering )

( panting )

( gags )

Anything?

Not today.

l'm so sorry.

We'll cover
more ground tomorrow.

What happened out there?

Um, l--

- The place was overrun.
- Yeah.

Let's go get you cleaned up.

- Shane, Shane.
- Hmm?

l was thinking,

you've got that
nice new ride of yours,

plenty of fuel, more than enough
for you to get far from here.

What, you telling me
to Ieave?

l know you've been
planning to.

Maybe now is a good time.

ls this about Andrea?

l'm looking out
for the group.

You think the group would be
better off without me, Dale?

Why don't you tell that
to Rick or Lori?

Their boy would be dead
if l hadn't put my ass on the line.

And Otis's.

You've been vague about that night,
about what happened.

Otis died a hero.

So you've said.

A little boy lived because of what
went down that night.

I think you ought
to show some gratitude.

- I wasn't there.
- No, man, you weren't.

But l was the time that you
raised your gun on Rick.

- Come on. Jesus.
- You had him in your sights

and you held him there.

l know what kind of man
you are.

You think l'd shoot Rick?

That is my best friend.

That's the man that l love.

l love him like
he's my brother.

You think that's
the kind of man l am?

That's right.

Well, maybe we ought
to just think that through.

Say l'm the kind of man

who'd gun down
his own best friend.

What do you think l'd do
to some guy that l don't even like

when he starts throwing
accusations my way?

What do you think?

ls there something
you need to tell me?

We can't leave.
I'm pregnant.

Are you?

l threw them up.

You can yell if you want.

You can scream
if you have to,

but talk to me.

How long have you known?

Does it matter?

Days? Weeks?
And you didn't tell me?

- l'm telling you now.
- No.

I found these.
So Glenn knows, right?

Instead of coming to me,
you sent him to get pills?

l panicked. You tell me we have
no roof and no waIIs--

Do not put this on me!

You tear into me for keeping secrets
when you're holding onto this?

You want me to bring
a baby into this?

To live a short,
cruel life?

How can you think
like that?

We can't even protect
the son we already have.

So this is the solution?

Rick, l threw them up.

l screwed up.

l don't know
how we do this.

We can make it work.

How? Tell me how.

We'll figure it out.
Shouldn't we try to figure it out?

You threw up the pills.

You want this baby.
l know you do.

Not like this.

Not giving birth
in a ditch.

Not when its life
will hang by a thread

from the second it's born.

Not when every cry
wiII put it,

and CarI, and everyone
we care about, into danger.

That's not right.

Not even giving it a chance
isn't right either.

Maybe this is why
l didn't want to tell you.

l still-- l still
don't understand why.

You really think l'd make you
have a baby you don't want?

No, so that if I
went through with it,

it wouId be on my
conscience and not yours.

Maybe that's true,

but l can't live
like this anymore,

Lori.

We can't live like this.

ls there anything else

l should know about?

Shane and l.

I know.
Of course l know.

You thought l was dead.

The worId went to shit
and you thought l was dead.

Right?

Yeah.
