Michonne does a bit of nosing around Woodbury, whilst Daryl and Maggie go on a food run for the new baby.

This is a solid episode with some interesting character moments.

The plot mostly flits back and forth between Woodbury and the prison as we wait to see whether Andrea and Michonne stay or leave. Personally, I prefer the scenes in Woodbury as they are full of intrigue about various aspects of the town.

There are two scenes I thought worked particularly well. Firstly one early moment involving the Governor that was quite disturbing and a bit sad. Also the scene involving Woodbury's outdoor entertainment is both outrageous and makes a lot of sense after the collapse of society. Both scenes give an insightful depiction of the Governor and how he has provided a safe haven, bread, and a circus to keep the residents in check, whilst also seems to be battling his own demons.

David Morrissey is excellent and his character has brought an interesting dynamic to the overall story that was needed. Danai Gurira is also great, with Michonne becoming one of the most likeable characters.

The visuals are superbly done as ever, with horrific zombie effects and the usual graphic violence looking very realistic.
