Episode 5 - Say the Word
The Governor brushes a young girl’s hair, revealed to be the Governor's
own daughter as he sees that Michonne is watching him from the street
outside. Back at the prison, Daryl and Maggie return from a run to give
the new baby its formula, who seems instantly pacified in Daryl’s arms.
Unsure of what to name his baby sister, Carl goes through the list of
fallen female survivors. Elsewhere in the facility, Rick finds the room
where Lori died, only to find a bloody mess on the floor. Spying an
overfed walker lying nearby, Rick kills the lethargic creature and
begins to cut into its insides. The Governor leads Andrea to a raucous
gathering, where the evening’s entertainment is revealed. With the crowd
cheering on either side, Merle and Martinez enter a ring surrounded by
chained walkers on all sides, and spar for the crowd’s amusement. Andrea
denounces the event as barbaric, though the Governor insists it helps
the people blow off steam, and teaches them not to necessarily fear the
biters. The next morning at the prison, Daryl lays a Cherokee Rose on
Carol’s grave. While inside, Rick sits in a daze - hearing imaginary
baby cries, broken by the sound of a nearby ringing phone, which Rick
answers and puts to his ear.
