Season 4, Episode 11: Claimed
Plot: So now that we know where everybody is, it’s time to
start giving them stuff to do. And boy do they get stuff. Michonne and Carl
spend the episode wandering around town looking for food, but all they find is
cheese in a can and backstory. We learn a little about Michonne’s life before Z-day,
but sadly no mention of her ninja training with a goateed Liam Neeson.
Also this week, Rick proves once
again why he should never ever be allowed to go to sleep. This time, not only
does he wake up in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, but he wakes up in the
middle of a zombie apocalypse with a heavily armed gang of crazies taking over
the first floor of the house he was napping in. A heavily armed gang of crazies
that are more than willing to choke each other out for the right to sleep in
what looks like the world’s least comfortable bed. After hiding under said bed
like Kevin McAllister for a bit, Rick sneaks out, kills what we can only hope
and assume was a gang member on that toilet and then saves Carl and Michonne from
wandering right smack what seems to be a pretty bad situation.
Meanwhile, Glenn and Tara are
headed to Washington, D.C. with Rectangle head, Danny McBride and Latina Sarah
Conner. Well, they are until Glenn wakes up and decides to go find his wife. A
large scuffle ensues, a herd of walkers descends on the scene and Danny McBride
valiantly, heroically manages to completely destroy the group’s truck with a
machine gun while killing almost no walkers. But before you start calling him “The
Walking Dead”’s mulleted Gilligan, the man does seem to have a purpose.
Rectangle head, who seems to prefer going by the less geometrically accurate
name of Abraham, informs the gang that the reason they were headed to D.C. was
because Danny McBride knows what started the zombie apocalypse and presumably how
to stop it. Sure saving the world is important and all, but first Glenn needs
to find his wife and because Ladies Love Cool Glenn, Tara and Latina Sara
Conner follow suit, dragging their two male companions along for the ride.
