SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

Glenn’s back, but not in a good way. In the beginning, it was the Glenn Knows Everyone’s Secret Episode, although he was still being employed as a delivery boy (retrieving pharmaceuticals and peaches, but still no pizza). And then the storyline quickly hit a fork in the road and it became Time to Air the Dirty Laundry Episode. And it was good.
Glenn (Steven Yeun) still reflects the heart and soul of this series, and his emotions get a boost whenever Maggie is around. She’s putting him through a lot of drama lately, treating him like crap, and it makes for great TV. Maggie (Lauren Cohan) is a very attractive young lady and a great actress, but all I can seem to focus on is her mouth. Her extra-wide mouth. Maybe it’s the curves of her cheeks that place extra emphasis on her smile, but looking at her face, all I can see is her mouth. It takes over her face. Bet she’s a great kisser!
Anyway, we get a few more details on Herschel’s feelings (he doesn’t see the undead as zombies, they are still people to him). He runs an illegal game of chicken, called Zombies in a Barn. But somehow they remain silent and don’t attract other walkers, since they’re being fed. Talk about your pampered lifestyle.
Other topics of interest: Glenn has a terrible Poker Face. Lori took the Morning After Pill, then promptly gagged herself (without a spoon). Daryl is recovering (seems to be a requirement for every episode — have one character injured and laying restless in bed). More of Herschel’s kids appear — this time it’s two new girls. Pretty sure Glenn gets his very first zombie kill… with a drugstore shelving unit. Andrea’s on target. Shane’s nervous tic. Riding in the carpool lane. And every character on the show seems to have a dark side.
Episode Strength: More Glenn. Yes, Please!
Episode Weakness: Rick (Andrew Lincoln) barely bats an eye when his wife admits to cheating on him. It was a little unbelievable. He wasn’t upset at all about it. Makes sense. NOT.
WTF Moment: Daryl must be a self-healing mutant. After getting the side of his face shot, there’s absolutely no bullet wound, marking or scar after cleaning it up. Unreal!
Noteworthy Quotes:
– “You shoot me again, best pray I’m dead.”

Review: 4/5
