While out looking for Sophia we see Carl become the victim of an unintended gunshot. Rick now has to take him to the shooter's camp in an attempt to save his life, and this is where we meet the Greene family.
This episode introduced three incredibly important characters to the series: Hershel, Maggie, and Beth. Isolated on their family farm and mostly untouched by the walkers outside the Greene's are ironically a bit green to the dangers of the world around them.
Hershel takes the responsibility of trying to save Carl while Maggie goes to collect the rest of the group, meanwhile on the road T-Dog is fighting off a fever from a blood infection due to the cut he got in the season premiere. Once Lori and the rest of the gang has been alerted to Carl's situation an argument begins to ensue about what to do: Go to the farm and establish a base or stay on the road incase Sophia comes back?
A lot of people kind of saw this episode as a step down for the series as it mostly has to do with drama rather than survival, however for fans of Horror don't fret as Shane takes Otis (Carl's shooter) to a local FEMA outpost for medical gear giving us some great Darabont zombie action.
In my opinion this was an incredibly solid episode.
