Bobbie's Point of View:
"Alright! Alright! Everyone, calm down." Michonne orders. The next morning, it was my hearing or sentencing or whatever. Michonne, Daryl, me, Carol and the people who were out last night that witnessed me killing Emmalee was in the meeting hall. Emmalee's father sat at the table, listening to Michonne.

"Jacob." Michonne begins. "As I'm sure you already know, everyone came back except for Emmalee. We want-"

"I wanna know what happened. What happened to my little girl?" Jacob cries. "She went out there with you people. She volunteered. And she didn't come back. H-How could I have let her go with you people, knowing that-that freak was with you?!"

"Jacob, we understand your pain here. It's...hard for someone like you to understand what Bobbie is going through." Michonne says.

"Which is what exactly?" Gabriel asks.

"We know this...we've all seen it. After Bobbie was taken from Alpha, she wasn't the same." Michonne explains.

"And that's caused her PTSD, right?" Gabriel asks.

"So what we're going with." Michonne nods. "She doesn't realize what she's doing. Jacob, you had a brother in the war. You know how PTSD from the military works."

"But that wasn't the military!" Jacob argues. "She killed my little girl. She..." Jacob hides his face sobbing into his hands.

"Think of it as the war. You see messed up shit out there...it does somethin to ya. People can be sleeping and somethin just triggers it, causes them to lash out, choke people, sometime's even kill 'em. But they don't realize what they did or even remember what happened." Daryl explains. "They just think they're in the moment all over again."

"Please. Don't talk to me. You're only sticking up for her because she's your wife." Jacob growls at Daryl.

"Jacob...we just ask you to understand Bobbie's point of view. She didn't even know she was doing it. She didn't even know what happened when she came to." Michonne explains. Jacob slowly turns his head towards me.

"Is that true?" He asks. I furrow my brows at him, nodding my head. "Then what are we doing here? What's her punishment?" Michonne and Gabriel lock eyes.

"Bobbie has agreed to be locked up until she gets better." Michonne says.

"Better?" Jacob asks.

"She hasn't been able to sleep. She keeps herself awake. The nightmares she has...it terrifies her. Doesn't make her wanna sleep. We're gonna lock her up, keep her in there, let her get some sleep, clear her head." Daryl explains.

"I will go in there to talk with her once a day. I will declare if she's making good progress or not." Gabriel adds.

"If she doesn't?" Jacob asks.

"She will continue to stay in the cell until she's better." Gabriel nods. "We know Bobbie. We know when she's acting like herself again." Jacob falls confused.

"B ain't the type of person to kill or attack anyone for the hell of it. She's strong, smart, kind to everyone. Sure, she's had her down points, but she bounces back quick. But this...we've all seen things and we all act like we could be used to it. Truth is, everyone's got a breakin point. Alpha takin her and Siddiq...that was her breakin point." Daryl says.
