If you have not read my review of episode 2 from this season, you may do so here: The Walking Dead Season 2 E2: Bloodletting
This episode has a strange introduction. Shane is shaving his head, but we don’t know if this is a flash back or what is going on. It definitely peaks your interest right off the bat though!
There are basically three main plots going on during this episode. The first plot is that Daryl and Andrea go out looking for Sophia at night. During their search they trade some personal stories and Daryl questions Andrea on if she wants to live or not. They come across a tent and hear something in the tree. They find a walker hanging there, and before he turned he had left a note saying he was bit and decided to end it all. Unfortunately for him he didn’t know you have to destroy the brain so he has been hanging from a rope for who knows how long. At the end of the day they didn’t find Sophia and head back to the RV.
A second plot going on involves Shane and Otis at the school trying to escape from the herd of walkers. They save each other multiple times during this encounter but it seems like no matter which way they go, more walkers are there. After they both have acquired some injuries, they attempt to make their way to the get away vehicle but both are wearing out. Tired and injured, with a herd of walkers behind them, all looks lost.
The last plot point is Carl needing surgery. He can’t make it much longer but Shane and Otis are not back yet with the supplies they need. After some moral debate between Rick and Lori on if it’s worth living in this world, they both decide it is and they should do everything possible to save their son (only Lori was thinking it would be better if he died). Just as they are about to have the surgery without the supplies they need, Shane pulls up. Otis is no where in sight but they have everything needed to do the surgery as safely as possible. Carl makes it through and is in stable condition while Shane informs them that Otis gave his life to save him.
Big Spoiler:
After all of this, Shane goes upstairs to take a shower and we see some of his hair has been pulled out. He finds a razor and shaves his head (the scene we started on) while it shows us what really happened. Shane shoots Otis in the leg and takes his supplies. During all of this Otis grabs Shane’s hair but Shane beats him until he lets go. Shane escapes to safety while Otis is brutally eaten alive by the walkers. Shane has gone too far before but this is the first time he has sacrificed an innocent person for his own survival.
