If you have not read my review for episode 8 from this season, you may do so here: The Walking Dead Season 2 E8: Nebraska
We open with Lori in a wrecked car, upside down, with a zombie trying to get through the windshield to get to her. Why this PREGNANT woman with zero fighting or self-defense skills would attempt to go save her husband (when she doesn’t even know if he is in danger or not) makes very little sense. I’m rooting for this zombie to make it through the windshield because Lori is incredibly annoying. Oops, Lori wins. She manages to kill the zombie while he is breaking through the glass and escapes the car, only to be attacked by another walker.
Back at the bar, where Rick had just gunned down two bad guys, more people show up outside. Dave and Tony were apparently not there alone. The people outside don’t take things very well when Rick tells them he killed their friends and they have a shoot out through the walls of the bar. Meanwhile, at the farm, people start to notice that Lori is missing. Shane goes out to look for her and discovers her flipped over car on the side of the road.
Hershel and Glenn attempt to escape out the back but run into some gun fire. Hershel shoots one of them, only wounding him. It would have been better if the bullet had killed him since since he gets brutally eaten by a pack of walkers while he is down. During the strangers escape, one of them jumps off of a building in an attempt to make it to his friend’s truck, only to impale his leg on a fence post. Surrounded by hordes of walkers, Rick makes the really awful decision of trying to save this guy, putting everyone’s life in danger. Pressed for time they decide to cut his leg off but in the end they end up simply pulling it out of the fence post.
Shane find Lori wandering out in the middle of the road. She still wants to save Rick so Shane lies to her and says Rick already made it back to camp. Things at the farm are a mess. Daryl yells at Carol when she wants to talk to him about pulling away from everyone. Lori gets mad at Shane for lying to her. It comes out that Lori is pregnant and Shane admits to Lori that he did kill Otis. Shane says what he and Lori had was real and Lori tells him that Rick knows about them.
Dale warns Andrea about what a bad guy Shane is but she doesn’t listen. She is about to head out with Shane to look for Rick and the gang when they pull up the driveway. We find out everyone made it out, including Randall, the guy with his leg stuck in the fence. This sets off a heated exchange between Rick and Shane over bringing this guy back to the farm. He is a threat to everyone but Hershel tells Shane to shut up.
We next see several conversations between characters. Maggie and Glenn talk about how Glenn froze up in the firefight. Shane and Andrea talk, Maggie yells at Hershel and so on. The most important conversation is when Lori manipulates Rick by telling him that Shane thinks the baby is his and he can do a better job protecting her than Rick can. She basically trys to talk Rick into killing Shane. We end on Rick not looking very happy with the situation.
