"SO..." ROLAND BEGAN, following the group towards the well. "You're telling me that a walker is inside the well?" He questioned and Dale rolled his eyes. "Yeah, this is like the 5th time telling you," Dale replied. "Yeah, I understand, but I just want to know if you're not seeing things. Like maybe your age is catching up to you or something." He quipped and Dale punched his arm before walking towards the well.

Roland crouch down as Dale pointed the flashlight down into the well, and indeed there was a walker down their growling at them. "Looks like we got a swimmer," Dale said and Roland's face scrunched up in disgust by the look of the walker. "Yeah, and an ugly ass one at that." He added in bitter disgust.

"How long you think it's been down there?" Glenn wondered, glancing amongst the group. "Long enough for it to grow gills," Andrea replied with a sigh.

"We can't leave it in there. God knows what it's doing to the water." Lori pointed out and Roland nodded in agreement with his mother. "We got to get it out," Shane added. "Easy. Put a bullet in its head. I'll get a rope." T-Dog deadpanned, completely serious with his suggestion. "Woah Woah, guys. No." Maggie told them sternly.

"Why not? It's a good plan." Glenn told them and Andrea looked up at him. "It's a stupid plan. If that thing hasn't contaminated the water yet, blowing it will finish the job." She pointed out and Roland nodded before looking up at the group with squinted eyes. "Not to mention that if we were to kill it, you will be carrying dead weight, literally. Either way, kill it or not, it's going to be a problem if we don't deal with it."

"They're right. Can't risk it." Shane agreed, looking down into the pit. "So it has to come out alive?" T-Dog asked. "So to speak," Shane replied, Roland, chuckled quietly. "How do we do that?"

Lowering the piece of meat down into the well, the walkers simply stared at it while it growled. "He's not going for it." Dale told them. "Maybe 'cause a canned ham don't kick and scream when you try and eat it." T-Dog deadpanned and Roland looked up at him with a smile. "Who shit in your cereal this morning?" A few people of the group chuckled, including T-Dog. "No one, but it's true." He told the Grimes boy who nodded in agreement.

"He's right. There's a reason the dead didn't come back to life and start raiding our cupboards." Lori acknowledged. "We need live bait," Andrea told them, instantly looking to Glenn who stood beside her. Roland caught on and stood up. "Woah, guys. Can we just think through this for a second?"
