This week's episode is entitled "Claimed". Michonne opens up to Carl about her past. She had a three year old named Andre Anthony. Carl is still grieving the loss of Baby Judith (who we know is not really dead).
Rick is back at the house and hears intruders. He crawls under the bed. One of the guys kills the other (over who can sleep in the bed). Rick strangles a guy he catches on the toilet. See you're not even safe during a potty break. Rick crawls out the window and heads off Michonne and Carl before they are ambushed. They see a sign on a boxcar and appear to be headed to Terminus (as are Tyrese, Carol and the children).
We finally learn the name of the Army guy. It's Sergeant Abraham Ford. They are on a mission to get Dr Eugene Porter (Mullet Man) to Washington DC because he supposedly knows what causes this whole mess (but he wont tell us cause it's classified). Zombies attack and the gas tank on the truck gets shot by Eugene. Mission aborted. Everyone instead follows Glenn (he's still searching for Maggie). The team now includes Glenn, Tara, Abraham, Mullet Man and Rosita.
We dont see anything new this week about Team Maggie or Daryl and Beth.
Grade: 4 Monsters (out of 5). I wished we would have seen something about each separated group but I guess not. Hopefully they'll all get back together some time this season. Bonus points for Crazy Cheese (hey ya gotta have a sense of humor if you're going to survive the Zombie Apocalypse). And the scenes with Rick under the bed witnessing someone being killed and Michonne in the pink room with all the dead bodies were especially effective.
