The Walking Dead, Season 2, Episode 7

This is the final episode in this first half of the second season. Why they have to break it into two, I do not know. It really annoys me that we have to wait until next year for the second half of the season!

Glenn is struggling with his news that the walkers are living in the barn. He has told Dale and Dale tells him that he should inform the others which he eventually does. Maggie is not happy with him. Shane is furious and he wants to exterminate them immediately or get the hell out. Rick argues with him that they can't leave without finding Sophia and Shane tells him that she is dead or else they would have found her before now. Rick wants to get rid of the walkers, but he needs to talk to Hershel first to get his backing. Hershel is not happy with what Rick tells him and he wants them gone. Rick has no choice but to tell him that Lori is pregnant and that they can't leave now. Rick spills the beans to Shane too and Shane is shocked.

Hershel asks Rick to come with him to the woods where there are walkers stuck in a swamp. He asks Rick to help him to rescue them and bring them back to the barn. Rick has no choice but to agree as he wants to keep staying in the house. Shane goes mad when he finds out that Dale went off with a bag of guns and nobody knows where. Shane runs after him, determined to get them back. He finds him preparing to bury them and he gets them back. Dale thinks that Shane is dangerous. Shane doesn't care. When he arrives back at the camp and sees Rick and Hershel with the new walkers, he shoots them dead and he opens the barn and unleashes the rest of them who are gunned down by the others. One more walker comes out of the barn and it is a child- Sophia! None of them can bring themselves to kill her so Rick takes aim and kills her. Everyone is shocked and horrified.

This was a great episode. I like the way that Shane is becoming another leader and I think that there will be a split in the camp with Rick and Shane being the two leaders now. I think that Shane's character is very good and I like Daryl too. That is it until next year, unfortunately!!!
