The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 2: Strangers

[Midnight Man 2]

Carol, Tyreese, and Judith have rejoined the group, or rather, the group has rejoined them, depends on which way you look at it. Rick actually asked Carol if his group could join her’s, probably because of the guilt that he feels over ejecting her from the prison. Although, it doesn’t seem like Carol wants to stay. She finds a serviceable vehicle while out on a water gathering trip with Daryl and sneaks away during their little feast at the church, but Daryl is not going to let her get away. He follows her and when he catches up they get buzzed by the car with the white cross that kidnapped Beth and they take pursuit.

Rick accepts Tara into the group, even though she was with the Governor, and she admits to Maggie that she was with the people that killed her father and Maggie decides to let sleeping dogs lie and accepts her as well. She is becoming a solid member of the group now and seems perfectly capable of supporting others and taking care of herself.

Abraham, the soldier, takes the feast at the church as an opportunity to make a speech about going to Washington and curing the world. He seems hell-bent on that purpose and considers any delay a detriment to that purpose. Finding a bus at the church was a God send and he’s not going to let anyone stand in his way. During his speech he gets everyone to agree to join his mission, even Judith, but there is someone lurking in the shadows watching them.

The lurkers turn out to be Gareth and a few others left over from Terminus that have been following Rick and his clan. They kidnap Bob for a meal on the road, as it were. They amputate his leg and have their version of a bar-b-cue. They seem to be just as sadistic and vile as they were when they were at the sanctuary. Among these is Martin, the young man from the shed. The one that threatened to break Judith’s neck if Tyreese didn’t comply with his wishes, the one that Tyreese claimed to have killed. Fortunately, Carol is not around to see that he lied about killing this one, and no one else ever seen him, except Judith, and it’s doubtful that she will ever tell anyone. By the way, the newest member of the group, the priest Gabriel, has a secret and it’s a bad one, one that he is going to burn for.
