And despite everyones wishes, Gabriel offers to take Judith and bring her safely to his church.
Nighttime eventually falls, and all seems well…until Sam starts to panic.

Ron dies before he can hurt Rick, but he isnt felled by walkers.
That bullet doesnt simply go flying off into the night.
It hits Carl directly in the eye, as if to say Ricks night hasnt been bad enough.
The father grabs his son as Michonne leads a charge through the walkers, clearing a path to safety.
The time for stealth is over.
The bloodbath has begun.
And where is everyone else during this thinning of the Alexandria herd?
Enid is less sure of what to do next.
Glenn explains how he believes running is to give up on who you are.
The people you love and love you in return are the ones who made you this person.
To run is not only to give up on yourself, but its also to give up on them.
They make a break for it, but he is bitten in the process.
Even after patching him up, though, the Wolf is not long for the world.
The Wolf is less lucky, though, and goes down amongst the walkers.
He acknowledges that he didnt want to hurt her, just stop her from becoming someone else.
It has shades of Glenns beliefs but put into practice in a different manner.

He wasnt saving the Wolf for the sake of the groups humanity; he was doing it for himself.
Theyre hoping to hole up and hide out, but the night has other plans in store for them.
He only has one response to the injury of his son.
His fury is unbounded as he fights his way through with reckless abandon.
Michonne wants to go help, but shes a key aide in Denises operation for the moment.
However, Heath knows how important it is for them to go fight.
Theyre becoming what Rick always knew they could become survivors.

With no choice left, he knocks it out and continues fighting with the others.)
She sees Glenn for the first time since hes been separated in a heartwrenching moment.
NEXT: Alexandria is heating up
Not that his return was an easy one.
Still, his bloodlust gets the better of him as he toys with the two of them.
(Apparently Abraham didnt collect those last year just for show.)
He doesnt want to lead the walkers away.
Spilling a trail of oil, the group uses it to start up one hell of a barbecue.
The small lake becomes a sea of flames, drawing the walkers attention toward the place of their destruction.
The day dawns, and the street is littered with corpses, but all is quiet.
He wants this world, but he wants it to include Carl.
