Merle interrogates Glenn, tries to make him sound like the bad guy for leaving him on the roof in Atlanta. Maggie can hear Glenn being beaten from the next room over.

The walkers by the prison catch on to Michone's disguise. She fights for her life and passes out. Carl and Rick save her and bring her in. Poor Michone has gone from one prison to the next, locked up and swordless. Carol reunites with the rest of the group. Michone tells Rick's group about Woodbury. One interrogation down!

Merle continues working on Glenn, who's face is looking pretty fricked up by now. Glenn threatens that Rick will come looking for him, along with Shane, Dale, Jim, Andrea... Merle is amused.

Herschel stitches up Michone. Rick and co plan a rescue mission. Carl and Rick have another father-son talk. Carl's the man of the house while Rick's gone. Carl names his sister "Judith."

Over the course of the episode, Andrea helps Milton with a zombie experiment. The subject is an elderly man who's volunteered to have his transformation be observed. Milton uses a record player and other audio/visual cues to study whether any trace of the conscious or subconscious lingers in the dead. The experiment winds up being a complete failure and Andrea has to put the poor guy down for good.

Merle turns up the heat on Glenn. He lets a hungry zombie loose in the room while Glenn is forced to fight while still bound to a chair. Glenn makes an impressive stand against the walker and is able to kill it by smashing his chair into a wall and using a shard of wood. Meanwhile, Merle tells The Governor that Glenn isn't breaking and he's going to work on Maggie next. The Governor replies that's alright, he'll take care of it himself.

Maggie won't talk, so The Governor orders her to stand up and take off her shirt, or else he'll bring Glenn's hand to her. He takes off his belt and bends Maggie over. Cut to commercial before we see the end of the interrogation. Did they or didn't they? A definitive answer is given in a later episode. The Governor does not go all the way off-camera.

The rescue group goes it on foot and is soon surrounded by walkers in the forest. They take refuge in a not-so-abandoned cabin. The owner has been living under a rock and is very confused about the whole zombie apocalypse thing, waves a shotgun around and tries to open the door to the swarming walkers outside. Michone stabs him. Rick tosses the body out the front door as a distraction while the group sneaks out the back.

The Governor pulls a gun on Glenn in front of Maggie and she finally breaks, revealing the location of the prison. Rick's group reaches the gates of Woodbury. The Governor questions Merle's loyalty and plans his next move with his closest advisers. Andrea returns from Milton's lab and gives Gov the bad news. He tells her everything will be alright, much in the same way he said it to Maggie.

Next Week: we're gonna' have two black males on the show. If you're good at math and racism, then you know what that means!
