Tonite's episode exclusively focuses on the Daryl, Abraham and Sasha group. After successfully leading the herd away they each speed up and head back to camp, until they are attacked by a group with guns. Daryl gets separated while Sasha and Abraham crash their car, but immediately incapacitate their attackers. Daryl takes his ride into the woods and meets up with a group of survivors I'm calling the blonde family. They knock Daryl out and keep him captive thinking he's from the group they are escaping from. We get a whole bunch of exposition about this group and the dad keeps saying he won't kneel. To which I say:
They walk through a burned forest area which they caused and are going after a friend of theirs named Patty but is presumed dead when they reach the zombie filled destination. In a moment of weakness from the diabetic daughter, Daryl sneaks off with their bag, (which has his crossbow in it.)
Meanwhile Sasha and Abraham make camp in an insurance office and wait for the tracker Daryl to find them. Sasha and Abe bicker about Abe wanting to kill some zombies to which he equated to tying up loose ends, which apparently make his ass itch. They have a conversation about why they both went on the herd mission and pretty much come to the conclusion that they had to do it and each are concerned about the other cracking under the pressures of the zombie apocalypse. Concerned to the point that they might start dating later on. Also Abe found a rocket launcher.
Back in the A Plot, Daryl regroups and jumps the people who attacked him with the two trading items (a wood sculpture for the bag, but takes his gun. He splits when a truck comes in and you guessed it, it's the people who were actually chasing the blonde family. After a brief exchange between Wade (I heard Wayne not Wade) who is the leader of this group and the blonde's they get back into their large truck to try and run them down. Daryl leads the blonde's behind a shrub structure and is able to lure the village idiot of the group into getting bit on the arm by a pinned walker. The stupid guy immediately asks for his arm to be cut off and that effectively ends the chase since they bugger off.
Daryl's group wander into a greenhouse where the idiot daughter goes over to see a couple of dead people who they apparently knew. They spring to life and kill the daughter. while they're burying her, Daryl asks the questions and tells them about Alexandria. after a later exchange the blondes jump Daryl not believing that he is going after Sasha and Abe. They steal his motorcycle and his crossbow. He finds a large truck in the bushes and takes it over to where Abe and Sasha are. As they drive back to camp they call out on the radio and get a response from someone it was hard to tell who it was, but I thought I heard "help."
Anywho this is a better episode than the last piece of garbage. We will certainly see those two again because Daryl will get his weapons back. Prime example about how last week was total filler. Daryl tries out his role as a recruiter to mixed success, but he's getting out there and trying. I also like the progression in Abe he's had to live moment by moment and is realizing now that he has a future life in Alexandria. Sasha was still a bitch per usual. There is one serious problem
Glenn - They keep dangling this whole thing where Glenn isn't dead. This all started with their propaganda show Talking Dead, not declaring Glenn dead during their in memorandum section. My sister is convinced he's still alive and I've seen commercials on other AMC programming with Glenn still prominently featured. His name has been removed during his spot in the credits which is atypical, since a main cast member is still listed even when they die. I don't know what was so ambiguous about what happened to Glenn, but all signs are pointing to some screwed up way to keep him from dying.
Given the vast number of Zombie movies I have seen and the situation he was left in (lying on his back with walkers eating his flesh, there is NO WAY IN HELL he could survive. Glenn surviving is the show Jumping the shark and I will no longer watch if indeed he is brought back. You can watch the scene again, but I'm not going to buy it.
