This week’s episode gave us a few shocking moments (one in particular for me involving a hatchback door… shiver), and a few interesting things to discuss come the roundtable. One of those things was Glenn and Maggie’s talk this episode, as well as Herschel and Glenn’s conversation afterward. Then there’s the last ten minutes of the episode…
The breakdown: Each week, a Walking Dead roundtabler or I will provide a recap the day after the newest episode airs. The next Friday morning a roundtable discussion of the episode is posted hosted by me, Joe, and a variety of guest commenters.
Spoilers for The Walking Dead 3.10: “Home” are below the cut!
Ghost Lori makes her second appearance. Rick follows her to right outside the fence, which Michonne sees. He clearly isn’t thinking about his safety during these “haunting” episodes, is he?
Back in Woodbury, The Governor, stirred by Andrea’s speech last week, asks her to take the lead while he “takes some time to get himself together” after the death of his daughter, who was already pretty dead, which Andrea doesn’t point out, unfortunately. He obviously is not planning on taking a bubble bath, drinking chamomile tea, or reading a book in this time off. By the look on Andrea’s face, she doesn’t think so either.
In two following scenes, Merle and Daryl, and separately, the survivors at the prison, discuss what may happen next. Will Woodbury retaliate against the prison? The writers let Michonne speak a full sentence (gasp): “He had fish tanks full of heads. Walkers and humans. Trophies… he’s comin’.”
The jailbirds conclude that The Governor will definitely try to add them all to his trophy case. Glenn interjects, stating he wants to eliminate The Governor before an inevitable attack (this idea comes too late, we see later in the hour.) Herschel tries to dissuade Glenn from thinking about an attack, but Glenn’s brain is still calibrated to “frenzy”- there’s no convincing him otherwise.
“You’ve been invaluable.” The Governor starts, back in Woodbury, which made me think he was going to shoot Milton. Instead, he recruits him to keep an eye on Andrea, as he doesn’t trust her. Ah, the inevitable denouement of this star crossed love affair. Later, Andrea, searching for The Governor, asks Milton where he is. Milton shows that he’s a pretty awful liar by repeating that The Governor is “On a run.” Andrea realizes is at once completely unhelpful and obviously a lie.
Back in the prison, Glenn and Maggie explore the wedge between them that started after her assault. An intense conversation follows. “Did he…” Glenn begins to ask, but doesn’t finish. “Rape me?” Maggie says. I guess these two never discussed what actually happened. “No. Do you feel better?” Maggie is clearly over the way Glenn is acting towards her. I am too. She goes on to detail what she went through with The Governor so that Glenn wouldn’t get mutilated in captivity, and then Maggie throws him out of her cell/room. I grimly anticipate this couple’s breakup.
