When this episode opens, we are shown, through Shane’s memories
how he came to believe that Rick was dead. Shane goes to the hospital to visit
his partner and learns the hospital is being evacuated to Atlanta
He tried to scoop Rick up in his arms to carry him to safety
but the wires and monitors prevent him from doing so. Not having a medial background,
he fears disconnecting any of them. Shane puts his ear to Rick’s chest and
hears nothing, so he assumes his partner is dead. Shane leaves the room and barricades
it from the other side so the walkers cannot get Rick’s body.
The scene shows the group of survivors meeting in the lobby
of the CDC with the good Dr. he says he
will allows them all inside if they all submit to a blood test. He does not want the CDC overrun with
walkers, and this is why they must submit to the test. All are clean so they
are allowed entry and settle in.
When asked why no other doctors or staff is present, Jenner
says they have all left the building. He only stayed because he thought there
was something he could do to stop the people from changing.
Later a drunken Shane meets Lori in the recreational room
and questions here. He asks her how she
can treat him like this. Lori replies he lied and told her that her husband
Rick was dead. Shane contends he thought Shane was dead, and retells how he
heard no heartbeat at the hospital. He tried to kiss Lori but she scratched him
and ran away.
The next morning Dr. Jenner shows the group the brain scans
of subject TS-19. He explains how the brain stem shuts down when the test
subject dies, yet reactivates when they enter the walker stage. However, only
the brain stem comes back and not the human part. He also mentions that this patient number 19
is his wife, who once was the best scientist in the world.
The CDC’s generators are running out of fuel. Dr Jenner
informs the group when the fuel is out the building detonates to contain the biohazards.
Most of the survivors want out of the building immediately to take their
chances with the walkers. However, Jacqui decides that it is her time and she
decides to stay with Dr. Jenner and meet her maker. Andrea
sits down as well, and Dale says he will sit there with her.
The other survivors rush upstairs to find the place locked
down. Carol pulls out a hand grenade out of her bag, and hands it to Rick. She
says she pulled it from his pocket that first morning in camp. Rick uses it to blast of the windows so the
group can exit the building.
The building erupts into fire as Dale and Andrea rush into
the RV, Rick starts it and they all get away safely.
Questions
Would you do as Jacqui did? Would you choose to commit suicide
rather than being eaten alive by a walker?
Where will the
survivors go? There is talk of them heading to Fort Benning. Will they make it
to the Army base?
