Preview of Season 3 Part 3

Episode 9

We kept an eye on this new group. I helped stitch up some of the wounds that some of them had. The ones remaining were Alan, Ben, Sasha, and Tyreese. The one who died was named Donna, Alan's wife. We walked out and locked them in. We let them out to bury Donna, but I snuck over to them. Apparently, Alan and Ben wanted to try to kill us and take our weapons. At least Tyreese and Sasha wanted to stay and cooperate with us. I went back over to Carol and Carl. I was going to tell them, but Carl talked about how he keeps thinking about how he was mean to Lori. Then the others came back, but Oscar was dead and Daryl was gone. Basically, they found Merle, the idiot who wanted to shoot me back in Atlanta. Carl and I kept watch on Tyreese's group until Rick came into the cell block. He held Judith and she started crying.

"Carl, I need to talk to you," I said as we went to our cell.

"Sure what's up?" he asked.

"The new group, half of it is dangerous. I overheard them talking and Tyreese and Sasha are the only ones we can trust. Alan and Ben talked about killing us and taking our weapons. When we tell Rick about this new group, we'll ask for him to keep Sasha and Tyreese," I explained.

"Okay, that sounds good. Thanks for letting me know," Carl smiled.

Rick went in and talked to them. Tyreese promised to help if they got to stay. Rick said no, but Hershel wanted to talk this through. He pulled him aside and talked to him. And when it looked like Rick was going to reconsider, he looked up. It's like he was staring off into space. He started asking questions and yelling for something to get out. We just stared in shock as Tyreese and his group left. What the heck was that about?

Episode 10

Once again, I'm sure Rick has lost his mind. I was with Michonne and we both saw him walk up to the graves then stop and look around. He ran to the fence, went outside on this little deck, and just stood there, caressing the air.

"What was that about?" Michonne asked.

"I don't know. He might still be holding onto Lori, his wife. She's dead now," I answered.

"How?" she wondered.

"Child birth. He wasn't there because one of the prisoners who betrayed us let walkers in and we got separated. Carl, Maggie, and I watched her die after Judith was born. She was like a second mother to me. Rick and I have been through so much since this started. This is my family now and I'm glad I'm a part of it," I explained.

"I'm sorry," Michonne said.

"It's okay. Come on, let's head back inside," I ushered.

We went and talked about going back to Woodbury to kill the governor. Glenn and Maggie's relationship seemed to be on the rocks at the moment. We discussed a plan to do so and I volunteered to go on watch. Then we tried to talk Glenn into leaving if the governor planned on retaliation.

Rick was still out there, doing who knows what. I'm still worried about him, but this is something he has to deal with himself. Then we were shot at and Axel was killed. I covered Carol while Carl covered Beth. Everyone hid as they fired. Then a white and orange truck barged through our gates and the back of it opened. Walkers came out and started reeking havoc. Rick was getting swarmed as we cleared as many walkers as we could. Before he did, Daryl and Merle saved him. This meant war.

Episode 11

We discussed what to do while Merle, who was locked up, just kept his flapping his jaw. Rick went up to look out while Carl went to talk to him. I kept watch on Merle.
