"Made to Suffer" is the eighth episode and mid-season finale of the third season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead.

It was directed by Billy Gierhart and written by Robert Kirkman, and aired on AMC in the United States on December 2, 2012.

In this episode, Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Michonne (Danai Gurira), and Oscar (Vincent Ward) enter Woodbury in search of Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan).

While they are gone, a group of five survivors—siblings Tyreese Williams (Chad L. Coleman) and Sasha Williams (Sonequa Martin-Green), and Allen (Daniel Thomas May) and Donna (Cherie Dvorak) with their son Ben (Tyler Chase)—come across the prison while fleeing a horde of walkers, and discover a breach in its fence.

Donna succumbs to the bite, and after a brief moment of silence, Tyreese smashes her head with a hammer to prevent her re-animating.

Michonne makes her way into The Governor's house and discovers a hidden room where he has kept the heads of many former allies, re-animated as walkers, in aquarium tanks, as well as the turned body of his daughter Penny (Kylie Szymanski) chained up.

Former showrunner Glen Mazzara still wanted Martin-Green to be a part of the show and decided to give a role specifically for her instead.

[2] She was cast in a recurring role on The Walking Dead as Sasha, the sister of Tyreese, an original character, exclusive to the television series.

[3] Martin-Green explained: "[Sasha] was supposed to be a recurring character and as we kept going forward, they picked up my option to be a regular.

In Season 3, The Walking Dead has turned into a show that is perhaps less grounded and “realistic”—in the midst of its genre scenario—than it once felt, but this is easily the most entertaining and exciting that it’s been for a prolonged period".

[10] Forbes magazine's Erik Kain said it was "a strong episode overall, even if the addition of new characters was a bit much to pack into the hour".

[13] Upon its initial broadcast on December 2, 2012, "Made to Suffer" was watched by estimated 10.48 million viewers,[14] up slightly from the previous episode.
