"I've done things," Charlie said, looking up into his eyes full of disappointment. "Things that I am not proud of. But everything I've done, I've done to survive...And I did. I survived."
"And are you happy?" Daryl asked, using all his power to stop...

Charlie really disliked the atmosphere in the camp that morning. Everybody looked like something just ate their insides and made them watch. Rick was in his own world and probably didn't get much sleep last night. Glenn was sighing from time to time, looking from Dale to Maggie as both of them were looking at him from different ends of the farm. Dary, T-Dog, Carol, and Shane were trying to ignore the tension, acting as if nothing was in the air.
And let's not mention Andrea who was accompanying to all of this with the sound of sharpening her knife.
When Glenn stood up, Charlie knew it was going to end up bad. That's why she looked at Maggie and shook her head, gesturing that the secret was not safe anymore.
"Uhm...guys. So..." he said. Charlie was waiting for how he would play it out. She didn't know that he wanted to announce that to everyone, so she didn't know what was the plan. "The barn is full of walkers."
He said it straight just like ripping the band-aid off. It was like the axe that was hung above their heads all morning was just dropped right on their necks. Charlie put away the food and sighed, not hungry anymore.
It's gonna be a long day...
"You cannot tell me you're all right with this," Shane said as they all were standing in front of the barn.
"No, I'm not, but we're guests here," Rick answered calmly. "This isn't our land."
"Oh, God." he rolled his eyes. "This is our lives, man!"
The doors moved as something that was inside leaned on it and Rick saw it. "Lower your voice."
"We can't just sweep this under the rug." Andrea tried to back up Shane.
"It ain't right. Not remotely. We either got to go into there, we got to make things right, or we just got to go." Shane argued. "Now we have been talking about Fort Benning for a long time..."
"We can't go." Rick interrupted.
"Why, Rick? Why?" he asked.
"Because my daughter is still out there," Carol answered to Walsh, which pulled the wrong strings in him.
"Okay." he scoffed. "Okay, I think it's time that we all start to just consider the other possibility."
Charlie opened her eyes wider. Realization hit her right in the face. Shane didn't believe that Sophia made it and he didn't try to find her. Maybe he was doing funny business with Andrea all this time in the woods, but he wasn't trying hard enough to find her.
Another thing is that he shouldn't say things like that to a mother whose child is missing. He could think that, but not say it to her face.
"Shane, we're not leaving Sophia behind."
"I'm close to finding this girl." annoyed Daryl stepped in. "I just found her damn doll two days ago."
Shane chuckled sarcastically. "You found her doll, Daryl. That's what you did. You found a doll."
