Warning: Spoilers
This entire episode feels like revenge, but not revenge from one person to another, rather revenge from nom Mother Nature to the survivors leftover.

Jim finally found his purpose for his erratic behavior, and unfortunately it came at the cost of lives including his own. Shane and Rick come to a head about what to do next, and Shane almost takes Rick's head because of it. Daryl struggles with feeling like one of the group in the wake of the tragic loss of life. Carol begins to get her freedom from Ed. Morales decides to branch off to find his own people.

The real star of this episode is in just the last few minutes. The desperation in Rick's voice as he pleads with the security camera at the CDC, the anger in Shane's voice as he blames Rick for getting them into this situation, and a first look at just how completely void of hope the CDC actually is on the inside.

Frank does a lot of psychological digging in this one, and the show benefits from it.
