Walking Dead gets itchy with ‘Triggerfinger’

After the explosive return of the Walking Dead with ‘Nebraska’, you would think things would calm down a bit for the group, but that was certainly not the case. After fending off Dave and Tony, Rick has shown he can do whatever it takes to survive for his family and friends, and as he, Hershel, and Glenn were ready to leave the bar, a group of new men showed up looking for their now dead pals. After attempting to lay low, the three men then hears the group call for their friends. Moments go by as they yell out for them, and then Rick responds to try and part ways.


“Your men fired on us. We defended ourselves. We didn’t want to, but its like that now – you know that.”

Silence comes afterwards, followed by multiple gunshots from both sides. Meanwhile on the farm, the group realizes at dinner that Lori is gone and no one has seen her since the afternoon, so Shane leaves to find her. In ‘Nebraska’, Lori crashed her car driving into town looking for Rick, and awakes at night with a Walker attempting to get into the car, which was on its side after the accident. Lori slowly awakes and is able to kill the Walker, as well as shoot another that was close to getting her that appeared from the woods. Shane catches up to her and she refuses to go back to the farm unless Rick and the others return, so Shane lies to get her back safe.

After returning to the farm, she quickly discovers she’s been deceived and Shane tries to reason with her and explains he did it to protect her and the baby – which Carl overhears and wonders why she didn’t tell him about it. His path towards being the child without fear continued as he stated he wasn’t worried when Lori was out there alone.


Back at the bar, both groups remained cautious about stepping out, but they were forced to withdraw after a large group of Walkers began showing up. Hershel was able to wound one of the men, and the Walkers brutally finished him off. One of the men who was much younger than the others was atop a roof when the men were ready to leave. When he jumped off to leave, he fell on a fence and was impaled in the leg and stuck. The other men left, and Rick, Glenn, and Hershel were ready to leave when they spot the young shooter, and ponder whether to leave him or not.

The Walkers begin to surround them, so they quickly attempt to cut off his leg, but Rick instead pushes his leg off the fence, which saved time and unfortunately causes tremendous pain to the young attacker, but I’m sure its better than being eaten alive. After finally returning to the farm, the group discusses what to do with the young man, and Lori discusses with Rick that Shane may have killed Otis, and that he doesn’t think Rick can protect everyone. She also tells Rick that Shane believes Lori is his in this world, and then leaves Rick with a look of annoyance and anger with his longtime friend.
