I thought this episode was pretty good and by the end of it the story had progressed alot. I think the take on this place is that it is a safe place, menaing its inhabitants don't mean them any harm, but it is also a very dangerous place because these people are so weak and vulnerable and it is a setup any outsiders would want to take. The only reason it has survived was mentioned by the senator lady, the entire northern Virginia area, millions of people, were evacuated. There aren't any people, or walkers in that area of the country. Maybe just a few walker stragglers here and there.

I also think Rick's crew was recruited with a purpose, protection. The senator knows these people are weak, they have probably started to increasingly encounter walkers, or maybe roving bands, while on scavenger hunts. There are also the 3 people she banished. She knows there are threats out there and that this community needs protection. I doubt she really understands just how bad it is on the outside though.

There is something with that girl. Pretty sure she is the one who took Rick's gun. She might even be a plant for some outside group and she is giving them intel. Over course, I think if that were the case they would already know this place was weak and would have taken it down by now. She's been there for months already. So I am thinking this girl is just feral, like the group she was outside too long. I think she definitely took the gun though.

Thought Darryl might be feeling out of place. I think he got reassurance whne the bada$$ braintrust, Rick, Carol, and Darryl met outside and Rick told them that they were either going to make this place work or they were going to take it from them. Took that to mean that these people were either going to get on Rick's page or they were going to get out. I'm sure Darryl liked that line of thinking because I think he was worried Rick was going soft. Rick isn't going to go back to soft.
