3 Stars.
Pros: I do like Glen and Maggie as characters, they, for the most part, seem to be the most level headed of the bunch.
Cons: Michonne comes off as "loose" and Carol's reaction to everything always seems to be to kiss people in awkward situations/Peoples reactions are just...so strange.
Full Review:
As Dexter holds Rick and the group at gunpoint and gives them the option to leave or else, Rick opens the door to Cell Block A and releases a horde of Zombies. In the middle of the shootout, Otis arrives from Hershel's ranch and he's saved from the Zombies on the outside of the fence by a woman in a cloak with two zombies collared together shambling behind her. She kills with a sword and is quiet and mysterious and has been on her own for no one knows how long. Enter Michonne.
While Otis and Michonne fight the zombies on the outside of the fence, Rick, Dexter, Axel and other members of the group have a massive shoot out to clear away the zombies that Rick released from Cell Block A. In the middle of the shooting, Rick takes a chance and shoots Dexter, thus ridding them of that threat.
Life returns to "normal" and they continue to work through the prison to clear it out. They clean up the gym where Michonne and Tyreese end up having a romantic encounter, and of course, Carol sees. She breaks things off with Tyreese as a result. While the others are cleaning out the library, Allen is bitten in the leg by a zombie. As a way to try and save his life, Rick cuts off Allen's foot to try and stop the spread of the virus.
Rick finds out about Tyreese and Carol ending things and asks Lori to go and talk to Carol. But when they get to her cell, they find that she's slit her wrists. Rick goes to Tyreese to tell him about what Carol's done and finds him kissing Michonne. Rick flips his lid and attacks Tyreese, saying that if Carol dies it's Tyreese's fault. Rick and Tyreese end up getting into a fist fight, throwing blame at each other. Rick calls Tyreese a murderer for what he did to Chris when he killed Julie. Tyreese calls Rick a murderer for what he did to Dexter during the zombie shoot out. Tyreese says that Rick's lost his mind, that he has a blood lust, that he enjoys killing, he saw it in Rick's eyes when he cut off Allen's foot.
Glen and Maggie, who are in their cell, overhear all this and try to get them to stop fighting. Meanwhile, Rick blacks out, falls over the railing and down to the floor below. He and Tyreese continue to beat the Hell out of one another until Andrea appears to tell them that Allen has died. Rick manages to get up and goes and shoots Allen to make it so he doesn't turn.
Hershel appears to tell them all that Carol will be fine, she barely scratched her wrists. Rick passes out and when he wakes up, twenty six hours later, Carol is there. She thanks him for sticking up for her with Tyreese and kisses him. Rick is shocked and says that she'll find another man, that she'll be fine. Dale comes in to talk to Rick and explains that while he was unconscious they decided to form a committee instead of having Rick make all the decisions.
The committee is Tyreese, Dale, Hershel and Rick. Rick understands this 100% and seems okay with it. When he goes outside to talk to everyone, he then snaps and goes on a tangent about how he killed Dexter to protect the group. That the world will never go back to the way it was. That no one is coming for them, that they are not going to be rescued and that they are, in fact, The Walking Dead. Roll Credits.
