Haha, It was just a picture of "Everybody hates Chris"
Which is what Noah is most famous for.
The other was me agreeing with you about Beth not being a car jacker.

The episode just had a different feel to it. It wasn't "bad" per se, it was more confusing. So the premise is that this group goes out and "saves" people. B.S. That house Daryl and Beth were at was clearly a trap that was set up. They sent up a dog to falsely alert Daryl, then corraled a herd of walker bombs the next time, clearly kidnapping Beth from the scene. So what is the MO for this group? It wasn't clearly defined and I think that's where this episode fails.
I don't think Dawn is in on the snatch and grab operation, probably being run by the rapey cops who she can't control. I do think she is delusional about everything though.
They prey on the weak, according to Noah. Beth had an easy comeback to Dawn's downgrading speech to her. If Beth is so weak, how the heck has she survived this long in the ZA?
The whole premise of the hospital group just doesn't make sense. What else doesn't make sense is Carol getting rolled in at the end of the episode. How the heck does she go from sitting in a car next to Daryl, tracking the cross-mobile, to being wheeld in on a gurney?
Guess we'll have to wait 2 weeks to find out.

Forgot to add, in a ZA world I would think the smart think to do would be to leave the keys in the pool of cars in case a quick getaway was needed. If I were Beth I wold have headed towards a car under the assumption they were gased and ready to go with the keys in the ignition.

Someone else already said it, Trojan Horse. Daryl and Carol followed the hospital car back to the hospital and were most likely casing the joint. They see Noah escape, probably Beth fail to escape, get the details from Noah and know that Carol would be the one they'd take in rather than Daryl. So they set Carol up to be "saved" to get Beth out.
One interesting potential direction this could go, what about Team Rick taking over the hospital? They have medical supplies, power, and food production. It'd be boring for the show, but from a ZA stability standpoint, it's as good as the prison was.
BTW, how do they still have nearly 2 years after the ZA? Yeah the hospitals have generators, but it seems like that's an inefficient use of gasoline.

I agree. (Assuming you mean The Talking Dead). She certainly came across a lot better than the last time she was on it. The last time she gave off a vibe of one of those high anxiety/high maintenance types. Which was kind of jarring because it is pretty much the opposite of her character. This time she seemed a lot more comfortable on the show and more down to earth.
Though come to think of it she was pretty cleaned up on The Walking Dead as well. They must have running water as well as the electricity. Even though Noah seemed to be using dry cleaning, I'd think you'd need a good bit of water to keep all that clothes as clean as they were.

She and Daryl took off after a car with a white cross similar to the one that took Beth.
Then Daryl made it back to the church with an unknown person with him.

I watched the episode but dozed off a couple of times. Now I have to rewatch and hope it makes more sense this time around. 
I can't wait until they tell Carol she owes them.

Also, I thought it was kinda stupid to attempt the breakout when they did. At least wait till evening or something...they just both waltzed right out the door with everyone sort of standing around.
There was a live walker in the office and Beth also had the gun and the key, they had to bounce right at that moment. Remember right as they got to the elevator shaft there were screams from down the hall. That 5-7 minutes from the attempted rape to escaping the building was the best part of the episode by far.

I don't get the hate for these type of episodes... you have to some build up before you just go in biting peoples necks off or hacking them up with a machete. This one moved pretty quick, it went from nice doctor to beth thinking about stabbing him at the end.
As far as cliffhangers, that how shows keep you tuning in. If there wasn't anything to wonder about and be anxious to find out, it would be pretty boring. Sure it's frustrating to have to wait, but I bet those people that are really irritated are the ones that their parents let them open a Christmas gift on Christmas eve. Part of what makes it great is the anticipation and having to wait and see.

One thing I am confused about is, was Beth kidnapped or did they think they were helping her escape walkers?
I didn't understand that...she was kidnapped (or let's just say taken) by someone with the white cross on the car, but that was when she and Darryl were getting overrun in that house. They made it sound like she was about to die and they saved her, but surely she'd protest when taken that she was with Darryl. The way they explained it, it seemed like they found her unconscious on the road about to be eaten or some shite.
That explanation didn't make much sense to me and Beth would've remembered when she was taken, unless I missed something.

Yeah, I never watched that one... I definitely was recognizing him from Go On.
BTW, the show he was on Everybody Hates Chris. That's why they're saying that.
There isn't a show called "Everybody Hates Noah."
