It was written by Angela Kang and directed by Greg Nicotero, and originally aired on AMC in the United States on November 11, 2012.

Rick is traumatized after the death of his wife Lori during childbirth, and abandons his responsibility as both a parent to his new daughter and the other members of the group, instead releasing his anger on walkers.

Daryl steps up as an interim leader, and offers to go with Maggie to locate infant formula and other supplies for the newborn.

She opts to exit out a back window to avoid being caught and discovers a courtyard with several cages filled with walkers.

This team, including Milton and Merle, is tasked to bring still-animated walkers that are trapped in pits back to Woodbury.

That evening, The Governor has Andrea join them to watch Merle spar against Martinez while surrounded by chained walkers.

He highlighted the "feverish intensity" of Rick's speechless rampage, but he reserved some criticism for uninteresting characters and the "pretty anticlimactic" reveal of Woodbury's festivities.
