Gareth explains to Bob that Terminus wasn’t originally intended to be a cannibal butcher shop, but it ended up that way, not a trap. “You join us or you feed us”, that’s not much of a choice. The conversation was all one sided from Gareth until he mentioned eating Sasha and that’s when Bob springs the truth on them. He pulls his shirt collar back and starts screaming, “Tainted meat, I’m tainted meat”. This stuns the cannibals, that can’t believe that they have been eating someone that is infected. They start gagging, spitting, and one even vomits. Then the accusations fly, they might as well have been eating a walker, way to go Bob.
Three people are missing and Sasha wants some answers. She confronts Gabriel to find out if he had anything to do with their disappearance. Rick jumps in and demands that he come clean about his sins, Gabriel has a break down and admits to leaving people outside the church when the walkers came, he buried the bones of all dead ones after it was all done, for anybody, especially a priest that is certainly a reason to burn.
They find Bob lying outside the church, he explains to them what happened to him and that he had gotten bitten at the food bank, he also informs them that Carol and Daryl were seen driving off. Abraham sees the Terminus gang as a clear threat to Eugene’s safety and wants to leave, now, and he’s taking that bus and no one, not even Rick, is going to stop him. Rick and Abraham get into an argument about the bus that almost comes to blows, fortunately Glenn steps in and offers up himself and Maggie as payment if Abraham agrees to stay and fight off the cannibals, Abraham gives them twelve hours. This brings up a question, Rick vs. Abraham, who would win. Abraham is obviously some kind of super soldier, but Rick Grimes is one crazy Son of a Bitch.
Bob told them that the cannibals are at a school and Gabriel tells them where it is so that they can go on the offensive. Rick, Abraham, Sasha, Glenn, Maggie, and Tara leave to go to the school. Meanwhile, the Terminus gang is on its way to the church. When they get there, those that did not go to the school lock themselves in the back room. Gareth and his gang break in and Gareth begins to taunt them by naming off all the people that he knows are there and that most of the strong ones have left; they get all the way to the back of the church and ready to break down the door when two of the cannibal’s heads explode from silent gunshot. It’s Rick, with a silencer on his pistol, he tells them to lower their guns. Gareth points to the door and starts to argue; Rick isn’t in any mood for conversation and shoots his fingers off from all the way across the room. Rick confronts Gareth, now on his knees and Gareth attempts to wriggle his way out of the situation, but Rick isn’t having any of that. Besides, he made Gareth a promise to kill him with the red handled machete, which he pulls from his belt. What a fantastically brutal scene is shown as Rick slices Gareth to pieces while the others of his gang are stabbed or beaten to death.
When it’s all over Michonne looks down and sees it, one of the cannibals had kept it and it was sticking out of one of the backpacks, she has her sword back, which is a fantastic happenstance for this episode because, let’s face it, Michonne is not Michonne without her sword. Of course Bob dies, and Tyreese is forced to finish him off to ensure that he doesn’t become a walker because his sister, Sasha, was in love with him and just can’t do it. The first time he has killed (except for the walkers outside the shed) since Carol was forced to kill Lizzy and he lost the stomach for it, and Bob was his friend. Abraham, Rosita, Eugene, Glenn, Maggie, and Tara all pile in the bus and are off to Washington. Rick and the rest await the return of Carol and Daryl, but only Daryl returns, but he brings a hidden friend. Who could it be?
