Michonne and Carl go for a supply run while Rick, who is unsure whether they should stay in their house or not, rests. Michonne tries and fails to cheer up Carl, and remarks that she can make toddlers laugh. When Carl asks her if she was around toddlers, she reveals that she had a son. As they scavenge a house, she reveals that her son's name was Andre Anthony who was three years old and died shortly after the apocalypse occurred. She later discovers a deceased family inside the house. Meanwhile, Glenn recovers in Abraham's truck, and is told by Tara that they passed by the prison bus, and all the inhabitants inside are dead. Glenn attempts to leave, but he is stopped by Abraham, whose mission is to deliver Eugene to Washington, D.C.. Eugene knows exactly what caused the apocalypse, and he is to meet with government officials there; he wants Glenn and Tara to stay with them, as they are stronger with more manpower. When Glenn still tries to leave, he and Abraham scuffle. While Tara and Rosita try to break them up, Eugene spots a large number of walkers approaching their direction and takes it upon himself to try to kill them. The five proceed to kill the walkers, but Eugene's poor aim causes him to rupture the truck's fuel tank. The three are then forced to accompany Glenn's search for Maggie. Rick awakens to the sounds of strangers who have infiltrated the house. He sneaks past the scavengers to escape, but he is forced to kill one of them when he is spotted. The killed scavenger reanimates and attacks his fellow survivors while Rick manages to escape with Carl and Michonne. The three then come upon the train tracks and follow the direction pointed by a sign: "Sanctuary for all. Community for all. Those who arrive, Survive. Terminus."

At a campfire, Beth persuades a depressed Daryl to join her in searching for other survivors from the prison attack. The next day, the two discover that children Luke and Molly have been killed by walkers. Lizzie and Mika have been traveling with Tyreese, who is revealed to have rescued Judith from the prison.

Michonne returns to the prison grounds, fashioning two new walker "pets" to accompany her for camouflage, and solemnly impales Hershel's zombified head before leaving without entering the prison. Meanwhile, a severely weakened Rick and a bitter Carl travel on their own and encounter a diner, where they scavenge supplies and kill a walker. The two then discover and reside in a house, where Carl acts rebelliously and angrily towards his father. Michonne spots Rick and Carl's footprints on the road, but initially turns away from their trail. She later has a nightmare about her life before the apocalypse, in which she lived with her young son, her lover Mike, and another close associate named Terry; the latter two eventually became her first walker "pets" after their deaths. After waking up in the house, Carl attempts to awaken his father, but to no avail. When two walkers bang at the front door in response to Carl's yelling, Carl lures them away, and after a scuffle with a third walker during which the first two pile on, he kills the three undead. Upon returning to his unconscious father, he chastises Rick for his inability to protect the people he loves and says he would be fine if Rick died. Carl then travels to another house to scavenge more supplies, but he narrowly escapes a walker and must subdue him after running out of ammunition. That night, Rick groans and reaches out to Carl, who fears his father has died and reanimated, but Carl cannot shoot him. Carl admits his weaknesses, only to realize that Rick is still alive. Rick acknowledges Carl's ability to survive and apologizes for the boy having had to become a man, but Carl replies that Rick need not apologize. Michonne regains her will to live after seeing a walker that resembles herself, kills the small herd of walkers she was traveling with - eliminating her "pets" in the process, and returns to the trail to pursue Rick and Carl. She discovers Rick and Carl's location, and knocks on the door. Rick looks through peephole and smiles, telling Carl, "It's for you".

The Governor rallies his group for an assault on the prison, using the captured Hershel and Michonne as hostages to avoid any bloodshed. Hershel attempts to barter with The Governor, saying their groups can coexist in the prison peacefully, but The Governor isn't interested. The Governor leaves Lilly and Meghan near a river to keep them safe. At the prison, Daryl is infuriated with Carol's banishment, but when the two decide to tell Tyreese about Carol, Tyreese finds a dissected rabbit, and believes there is still a killer in the prison. Before they can investigate, the Governor arrives and orders Rick's group to leave the prison, or his army will force their way in. He rejects Rick's proposal for them to coexist within the prison and decapitates Hershel with Michonne's katana, provoking a firefight between the two groups. Michonne escapes in the commotion. Lilly, who had witnessed Hershel's execution, arrives with Meghan, who has died from a walker bite, and The Governor shoots Meghan in the head. Having lost his new family's trust and Meghan's life, The Governor loses his purpose for the prison and orders his army to kill everybody in the prison. Mitch destroys the fences with the M60 Patton, rendering the prison vulnerable and prompting the remaining prison inhabitants to flee. Rick ambushes The Governor, and the two begin brawling. Tara flees the battle. The Woodbury group fires on The Governor's army, killing many as walkers begin to pour into the prison, and the survivors scatter as they escape. Daryl disables the tank by dropping a grenade down the barrel of the tank's cannon and then kills Mitch before leaving the prison with Beth. The Governor physically overpowers Rick and has nearly killed him when Michonne runs The Governor through with her katana. Rick finds Carl, and the two find Judith's bloody, empty baby carrier. Devastated, Rick and Carl retreat from the prison on their own. Meanwhile, Lilly finds the dying Governor lying on the ground outside the prison and kills him by shooting him in the head.

Martinez rescues The Governor and Meghan from the pit and realizes The Governor has assumed a new identity. Lilly and Tara rejoin the two, and the foursome join a large group of survivors led by Martinez. After reassuring Meghan of her safety at the camp, The Governor joins Martinez and his right-hand men, brothers Mitch and Pete, on a supply run to a survivalist cabin, finding decapitated bodies along the way. At the cabin, Martinez says he rescued The Governor because he was with Meghan, and notes The Governor seems to have changed for the better. The next day, Martinez invites The Governor to hit golf balls from the top of a camper, where Martinez relates that Shumpert was bitten by walkers (and Martinez had to put him down before he could turn) in the preceding months and says there are some things they could not return from. When a drunk Martinez admits that he doubts that he can keep the camp safe by himself, an enraged Governor hits him in the head with a golf club and feeds him to a pit of walkers. Mitch holds a meeting where they disclose Martinez's death, and Pete claims temporary leadership. The Governor goes on another supply run with Mitch and Pete, and they discover a camp of survivors. The brothers debate whether they should take the people in or rob them. Mitch wants to rob them, but Pete insists they leave them alone. A short while later the survivors are discovered murdered and looted. The Governor, convinced Pete's group isn't safe, tries to lead the Chamblers away from the group but turns back upon encountering a mud pit filled with walkers. The next day, The Governor kills Pete and forms an alliance with Mitch, who wanted to loot the aforementioned camp, and The Governor becomes the leader of Martinez's former group. The Governor keeps a zombified Pete chained in the bottom of a pond. Despite the camp's new defenses, Meghan and Tara are attacked by a walker that The Governor kills. The Governor concludes that the prison is a safer place for the family and proceeds to scout the prison. After observing Rick and Carl, he sees Hershel and Michonne in the woods burning walker corpses and aims his gun at them.

In an extended flashback, The Governor recalls his massacre of the entire Woodbury army, and his henchmen Martinez and Shumpert abandon him while he is asleep. The Governor smashes a military truck through the Woodbury gates, and when he sees that the town has been abandoned by the remaining survivors and overrun by walkers, he burns the town to the ground. Months later, after wandering the roads alone, the bearded, tattered, weakened Governor sees a young girl in a window, who reminds him of his daughter Penny. He enters the building and encounters the Chamblers — two adult sisters, Lilly and Tara, their wheelchair-bound father, David, and the girl, Lilly's daughter, Meghan. When asked his name, The Governor adopts a false identity, Brian (which he adopted randomly from a message spray-painted on the side of a barn). He tells them how Woodbury fell apart because of its leader — hiding from them the fact that he was the leader. The Chamblers remain holed up in their own apartment with sufficient food, waiting for the National Guard, and Tara threatens The Governor at gunpoint. However, they slowly warm up to him when he opens up and helps to care for their father. At David's request, The Governor retrieves a backgammon set from an upstairs apartment for Meghan. Later, Lilly asks him to retrieve oxygen tanks for David, who has stage-4 lung cancer. The Governor begins to bond with Meghan over chess, but is forced to kill David in front of the family when the latter dies and reanimates. After digging a grave, burying David, burning his own family photo, and comforting Meghan, The Governor tries to sneak away and leave, but the remaining Chamblers decide to go with him. During their journey, Lilly and The Governor begin a serious relationship. After the catering truck they are riding in breaks down, they proceed on foot and encounter a horde of walkers approaching. They quickly flee on foot. Meghan and The Governor fall into a pit containing a few walkers, whom The Governor kills with his own hands to protect Meghan. As he assures her that he will always protect her, The Governor looks up to see a shocked Martinez standing above the pit.

Daryl's group finds a new car, and while repairing the vehicle, Bob tells Daryl about his alcoholism and his culpability for Zach's earlier death; Daryl replies that's nonsense and reminds Bob that he is no longer alone. Michonne confronts Tyreese about his anger; he counters with inquiries about her quests to find and kill The Governor. The group eventually makes it to the college and retrieves the medicine they need, although Bob is almost killed in a tug-of-war with walkers who latched onto his bag, which is revealed to contain only a bottle of liquor he found at the college. Having lost trust in him, Daryl threatens Bob and condemns his actions. On their way back to the prison, Michonne tells Daryl The Governor's trail has "gone cold", and thus she will stop searching for him. Meanwhile, Rick and Carol go on a supply run in a residential area, where they find two survivors, a couple named Sam and Ana. When the couple expresses interest in returning with them to the prison despite the ongoing illness, Rick decides to let them come with him. Carol suggests that the couple assist them in searching the area for supplies, and they agree to help. Rick believes they are ill-equipped to handle that task, but reluctantly agrees with the group consensus. While scavenging the town, Rick and Carol debate Carol's actions. The two later discover that Ana has been killed by walkers and Sam is nowhere to be found. Rick later tells Carol that she will not return with him to the prison, since he believes Tyreese would kill her when he learned she'd killed Karen and David, and Rick doesn't want her around his children. He helps Carol pack a car of her own with supplies, and then the two then go their separate ways.

The unknown virus continues to spread, killing more people and infecting others, including Sasha, Glenn, and Lizzie. Tyreese, furious about Karen's death, attacks Daryl and Rick in frustration, inciting the latter to fight back. Hershel suggests that the group search a nearby veterinary college to find medication to help the infected. He also decides that the elderly and children, including Carl, must be separated from the other survivors, as they are more vulnerable to the disease. Hershel leaves the prison enclosure to search the woods for elderberries and runs into Carl, who insists upon escorting him. They encounter one slow-moving and another immobilized walker during their trip, and Carl prepares to shoot them, but Hershel discourages him, advising that's unnecessary. Maggie cries about Glenn's illness, but Beth reminds her they all have jobs to do. Carol breaks down after offering condolences to Tyreese. Hershel decides to risk exposure by caring for the sick.

Carol takes care of a man, Ryan Samuels, whose daughters are Lizzie and Mika, and he realizes he has been bitten in the arm and neck. Ryan, coming to terms with his imminent death, asks Carol to take care of his girls. Carol brings them to him to say goodbye, comforts the girls, and encourages them to stay strong. Rick and Daryl discover that Patrick has been killed by an aggressive flu strain that causes the infected person to hemorrhage and choke on his own blood.

The outer fence of the prison is about to give way to the walkers, and the group tries to hold off the undead, discovering in the process that someone has been feeding them rats.

Rick gives Carl back his gun, disappointed that his attempt to live a quiet life has failed. Tyreese visits his girlfriend, Karen, who had been infected; later, he is horrified when he discovers two burnt bodies: his infected friend David, and Karen.

The episode cold opens with a flashback to Andrea and Michonne (Danai Gurira) on their own, settling down around a campfire to eat. Andrea asks Michonne about her chained walkers, correctly guessing that she knew them before they turned. Michonne says they deserved what they got; they weren't human in the first place. On this line the view changes to the present storyline, with The Governor preparing chains in his private workshop.

There is more paramilitary activity in Woodbury: Martinez (Jose Pablo Cantillo) loads up an army truck with a .50 caliber machine gun and other arms. After failing to talk The Governor out of killing the people at the prison, Milton (Dallas Roberts) reveals to Andrea that there is no deal, and The Governor intends to kill the prison group no matter what. Milton emphasizes this by showing Andrea a gallery overlooking The Governor's workshop, where The Governor has set up a dental chair with surgical instruments and hand tools. Andrea seems convinced and sights The Governor with her handgun when he appears below. Milton stops her, remembering the man The Governor used to be, and states that her being killed in retribution and Martinez's taking over after an assassination won't save her friends or Woodbury. He urges Andrea to leave and warn the prison group. She asks him to come with her, but Milton says he belongs in Woodbury. Andrea accepts this, but challenges Milton to stop looking the other way.

Martinez confiscates Andrea's handgun on The Governor's orders; The Governor tells Andrea he wants to keep her separate from Martinez's operations, but he wants her with them when they meet Rick. Andrea doesn't buy it and goes over a section of wall guarded by Tyreese and Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green). Tyreese tries to stop her, but Andrea threatens him with a knife and warns him and Sasha that The Governor has done terrible things and is planning worse. Tyreese and Sasha tell The Governor, who claims that Andrea was on her own all winter and implies that she's crazy and paranoid. The Governor prepares to go out on his own to bring Andrea back, and he throttles Milton for giving Andrea reason to leave.

Allen (Daniel Thomas May) criticizes Tyreese for making unpopular decisions, costing them trust with the power players in Woodbury, and explains that the men on the wall are on edge and believe Andrea is crazy. They accompany Martinez to the Biter Pits, where they prepare to collect several captive walkers. Thinking the worst, Tyreese refuses to help them and, when Allen tries to convince him to get with the program, Tyreese provokes Allen over how Allen's late wife, Donna, looked to him for protection instead of Allen. They scuffle, and Tyreese holds Allen over the Biter Pit, with Allen telling Tyreese to throw him in; Sasha has to talk Tyreese down to save Allen's life. The next day, when it is discovered that a horse trailer and a pit of walkers were burned to a char, rendering them immobile and useless as threats, Tyreese becomes a suspect as the saboteur.

Andrea runs for the prison, hiding when she hears Woodbury vehicles and struggling to kill walkers with her knife. The Governor pursues her across an open field in a truck, but Andrea makes it to the treeline ahead of him. Shortly afterward, as dusk falls, she seeks shelter in an abandoned factory. The Governor follows her inside, and they kill walkers while playing a game of cat-and-mouse, with The Governor eerily whistling the lullaby that he'd sung to his walker-daughter, Penny. Andrea eventually sets a dozen or so walkers on The Governor and escapes while she hears him struggling for his life, after emptying his handgun.

Staggering and exhausted, Andrea arrives at prison and waves from inside the treeline to Rick, who is standing watch. However, The Governor grabs her and pulls her down, muffling her mouth after she squeals, leaving Rick to question whether he's once again imagining things. The Governor returns to Woodbury and, with his usual charm, addresses Tyreese and Sasha's concerns (about feeding people to walkers and killing women and children) by telling them he's using the biters as a scare tactic, a bluff to try to save lives. Tyreese's surprised reaction, when The Governor asks how he got gasoline to burn the biters, suggests his innocence. Milton's mentioning the burning of the walkers to The Governor and the latter's reaction imply The Governor now suspects Milton.

When Milton asks The Governor if Andrea is alive, he states, "I hope so." In the final scene she is shown, bound and gagged, in the dental chair in The Governor's workshop.

Rick privately tells Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Hershel (Scott Wilson) about The Governor's offer and his intention to go ahead with it, to quietly capture Michonne, and to delay telling the rest of the group until afterwards. Hershel refuses to be a part of it and Daryl is reluctant, although he agrees to support Rick. Feeling he needs a third man for the job, Rick goes to Merle for his help. Merle, who has been tearing through mattresses looking for drugs, is interested in this development but does not believe Rick has the spine for it.

Merle and Carol (Melissa McBride) chat, during which time he notes she has become more assertive and confident. He calls her a late bloomer, and she replies that he may be one, too.

Merle later tells Daryl that he finds hypocrisy in handing Michonne over to The Governor, since the group is already angry with Merle for doing the same with Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan). Rick is scavenging wire to tie up Michonne, intercut with Hershel praying with his daughters, when Rick has an hallucination of Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) in the sunlight; Rick then abandons the task and his intentions to hand over Michonne. However, Merle has already decided to do the group's dirty work, recognizing this as his role, as it was in Woodbury, and he blindsides Michonne. When Merle and Michonne are discovered missing, Daryl begins tracking them on foot.

On the road, Merle and a wire-bound Michonne chat, with Merle trying to convince Michonne that as much as he's on the outside of the group Rick's deal proves she is, as well. They stop to hot-wire a car, and Merle accidentally sets off its alarm, immediately attracting walkers which they fight and escape. While riding in Merle's car, Michonne prompts Merle to admit he never killed before doing The Governor's bidding, and there is no need to sacrifice anyone else at The Governor's behest; she suggests she and Merle should both return to Rick's group. Merle says he cannot go back, stops the car, and lets Michonne go with her katana, telling her to get ready for what's next; he has something to do on his own. Michonne crosses paths with Daryl and directs him on toward his brother.

Merle is next shown drinking whiskey outside a liquor store listening to Motörhead; he uses the music to attract a swarm of walkers to the car and drives toward the appointed meeting place in short intervals, ensuring that walkers follow him. He bails out alongside a barn, leaving the music-blasting car to continue on to the meeting site with a parade of walkers following. Martinez (Jose Pablo Cantillo), Allen (Daniel Thomas May), and others, who are waiting in ambush, watch from a firing line. After a moment of hesitation, Martinez sends scouts forward to investigate the car, while he and the others open fire on the walkers. While their attention is on the walkers, Merle begins shooting at the Woodbury soldiers, killing and wounding many of them in the process.

Merle sights The Governor with his rifle scope, but Allen's son Ben (Tyler Chase) walks into the bullet's path and is killed. Merle is subsequently distracted by a walker, which allows Martinez and The Governor to attack him viciously, in a thug-like manner. The Governor assaults a weakened Merle, biting off two of his fingers in the process. He then shoots at Merle (off-screen) with his pistol, presumably killing him.

Meanwhile, at the prison, Glenn asks Hershel for permission to marry Maggie and receives Hershel's blessing. Glenn recovers a diamond ring from a female walker at the prison fence and wordlessly gives it to Maggie. Maggie simply responds, "Yes." Rick convenes a meeting and tells the group about The Governor's offer, confessing that he was going to go through with it but changed his mind, but Merle took Michonne on his own, and Daryl went to stop him. Rick admits it was wrong to not tell them and apologizes, stating it wasn't his call to make alone. He says the group is the greater good, collectively the reason they're still alive, and he won't be their Governor. He says they will have to vote about staying and fighting or leaving the prison. Rick then leaves the group to make its decision.

As Rick goes to stand watch, he sees Michonne approaching the prison fence. Daryl arrives at the meeting place and finds walkers feeding on corpses. He then spots a walker eating Ben's body and, after looking closely, recognizes it as his brother Merle with lost fingers, a scarred face, and a bullet hole in his chest. Merle staggers over to Daryl who pushes him back several times. Daryl stabs Merle in the face repeatedly, then collapses onto the ground and cries.

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), his son Carl (Chandler Riggs), and Michonne (Danai Gurira) go on a scouting run to retrieve weapons in preparation for an impending attack by The Governor (David Morrissey). Along the way, the group passes a lone hitchhiker (Russ Comegys) and ignores his pleas to stop.

Carl expresses to his father his reservations about Michonne. They return to Rick and Carl's hometown and enter the police station where Rick previously worked but find the weapons locker is empty. The group then plans to retrieve guns from local establishments whose gun permits Rick signed, but they discover the entire community has been booby-trapped. A walker becomes entangled in one of the traps near where the group is walking, and a masked man on a rooftop shoots it. He then orders the three to drop their weapons and shoes and leave. The group initiates a gunfight. Carl shoots the man, though the bullet doesn't penetrate the man's ballistic vest. The unconscious man is revealed to be Morgan Jones (Lennie James), who helped Rick recover from his coma.

The three carry Morgan into his apartment, where they realize Morgan has stashed the weapons from the police station. They also discover a map that details the layout and status of the community, which indicates Rick's former house has been "burned out".

Michonne and Carl begin packing up the weapons, but Rick refuses to leave until Morgan awakens. Carl decides to retrieve a crib for his baby sister, Judith. However, Rick allows him to go under the condition that Michonne accompanies him; Carl reluctantly agrees.

When Morgan wakes up, he attacks Rick and tries to kill him, ultimately stabbing his shoulder. Rick restrains him and tries to help Morgan recall who he is and what Morgan did for him. Morgan explains that he attempted to contact Rick on the walkie-talkie, but Rick was never there. Rick explains he also tried to contact Morgan every morning, but eventually had no choice but to move his group increasingly far from Morgan's location, thus moving out of range.

Rick realizes Morgan has become nihilistic and insane after witnessing his son, Duane, get bitten and killed by Morgan's undead wife, whom he was unable to kill until she bit Duane.

Rick urges Morgan to join them at the prison. Morgan declines, stating his understanding that Rick needs more guns because the prison is unsafe, and Morgan does not want to watch everyone die. He warns that Rick will be killed "by teeth or bullets", and eventually allows Rick's group to gather some of his weapons and ammunition and leave.

Meanwhile, Carl tries to elude Michonne, who notices that he has bypassed the baby store where the crib is located. Carl instead travels to a café to retrieve a family picture of him and his parents, which he plans to give to Judith so she will know what her mother looks like. The café is filled with walkers, and Carl devises a method to distract them. Nonetheless, a walker grabs Carl, and Michonne saves him. On their way out, Carl and Michonne become surrounded by walkers, forcing Carl to drop the photo and cooperate with Michonne in order to escape.

Michonne reenters the café and retrieves the photo for Carl and another gift for Judith (a papier-mâché cat sculpture), proving her worth to him. The two collect their intended items, a crib for Judith and other baby supplies, and return to Morgan's apartment. Carl apologizes to Morgan for shooting him, and Morgan tells Carl to never be sorry.

Rick privately asks Carl how things fared with Michonne. Carl replies, "She may be one of us". Michonne approaches Rick and tells him she saw him talking to dead people. She reassures him by confiding she used to talk to her deceased boyfriend. As the three drive back to the prison, they see where Morgan has burned piles of vanquished walkers. They eventually come across the torn-apart corpse of the hitchhiker, pull over to pick up his backpack, and then continue on.

Following The Governor's (David Morrissey) brief but costly attack on the prison, Hershel (Scott Wilson) wants to abandon it. Merle (Michael Rooker) points out that it is now too late for that; The Governor has had more than enough time to block all possible escape routes. Rick and Glenn, however, argue that the group should stay, but they don't have enough ammunition to clear out the walkers, and The Governor can simply besiege the prison and starve them out. Hershel challenges Rick to get his head clear so that he can lead them, and even Carl sees his father would benefit from some rest and suggests that he let Hershel and Daryl take charge.

The Governor is readying Woodbury for total war. Civilians, including women and adolescents, are given weapons and taught to use them, in preparation for combat. Andrea is disturbed by this and asks to leave to negotiate a peace with the prison, but The Governor discourages her, implying that she will not be welcomed back if she leaves. Andrea asks Milton's help so she can sneak out, which Milton reports back to The Governor (as per his assignment to "keep an eye on her"). The Governor tells Milton to help her. In the woods, Milton helps Andrea capture and disable a walker, hacking off its arms, breaking its jaws, and tethering it; imitating Michonne. While they are doing so, Tyreese's group comes upon them and kills several approaching walkers. Milton agrees to take the four back to Woodbury, while Andrea leaves with her disabled walker for the prison.

At the prison, Glenn quietly suggests handing Merle over to The Governor in a desperate hope of appeasing him. Merle, meanwhile, tries to make amends with Michonne for trying to kill her, stating he was only following orders and was not proud of all that that entailed.

Andrea's arrival at the prison is met with distrust, especially from Rick, who handles her harshly while searching her for weapons. After catching up on the deaths the group has suffered, she warns them that Woodbury is getting ready for a war and offers to negotiate a truce. Believing that peace is not an option, Rick tells Andrea to help them sneak inside Woodbury for a surprise attack, but she refuses. Michonne later tells Andrea that The Governor sent Merle to kill her, demonstrating that he won't allow anyone to leave (or live) who isn't under his control.

At Woodbury, Tyreese's group has been brought to the infirmary building where they are cleaned up, and The Governor gives them his friendly welcome-speech and discusses their ordeals. Allen reveals that they'd been at the prison, where the "crazy" leader, named Rick, chased them out. Tyreese gives The Governor the same offer he'd extended to Rick: to help out and earn their keep. The Governor asks if they could provide a layout of the prison. Allen and Tyreese, wanting admission into Woodbury, gladly agree, while Sasha remains reluctant.

While Andrea is visiting Judith, Carol quietly pressures her to assassinate The Governor. The group gives Andrea a car for her return trip to Woodbury, where she is again greeted with an array of weapons pointed at her. She gives The Governor a full report. Later, in his bedroom when he is asleep, Andrea brings a knife to The Governor's throat and contemplates killing him, but cannot bring herself to do so.

The episode opens with Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl (Norman Reedus), and Hershel (Scott Wilson)'s arriving at an abandoned feed store. They ready weapons and quietly scout the area. Rick enters a barn, in which a table has been set up with two chairs. As Rick approaches, The Governor (David Morrissey) steps out of the shadows, shows himself to be unarmed, and says they have a lot to talk about. Secretly, The Governor has taped a pistol under the table, pointed at Rick.

Outside the barn, Daryl and Hershel meet with Martinez (Jose Pablo Cantillo), Milton (Dallas Roberts), and Andrea (Laurie Holden). Andrea seems to have brokered the summit and enters the barn to join the negotiations. Rick suggests a clear territorial division with a river as an uncrossable border, but The Governor refuses and says he's present only to accept the surrender of Rick's group. The Governor asks Andrea to leave, and Rick seconds his request, stating that he came to talk with The Governor.

The Governor tries different approaches to see what works on Rick, blaming Merle (Michael Rooker) for his atrocities, offering whiskey, commenting about Rick's being cuckolded and raising another man's child, advising Rick his group is under surveillance and the Governor knows about their new weapons, warning that Woodbury has superior manpower and firepower, telling a sympathetic story about his wife's death, and showing his injuries at Michonne's (Danai Gurira) hands. Ultimately, The Governor offers peace if Rick will hand over Michonne at the barn in two days' time; the alternative would be The Governor's annihilation of the prison group. Rick appears unmoved by The Governor's tactics and expresses skepticism about The Governor's not taking responsibility for the atrocities, although he drinks the profferred liquor when The Governor discusses his wife's death. Rick also tells The Governor that pursuing a grudge against Michonne seems beneath him. The meeting ends with their agreeing to meet again at noon in two days.

When a small group of walkers approaches, Daryl and Martinez compete to see who can kill the most and then share cigarettes Daryl finds on one of the corpses, in a moment of male bonding. Meanwhile, Hershel and Milton discuss Hershel's amputation and Milton's recording of events for posterity and share an uneasy chuckle. Hershel confirms for Andrea that The Governor abused Maggie (Lauren Cohan). Although Andrea says she cannot return to Woodbury, in the end, she returns at The Governor's side. Back at the prison, fearful for his brother and wishing to act against The Governor, Merle wants to use the group's newly-acquired weapons to attack The Governor, but the others are committed to obeying Rick's orders that they stay put, fearful that if they attack, some of their people will be hurt. Merle tries arguing his point, physically fighting Glenn (Steven Yeun) to exit, and making an ally of Michonne, but all three efforts fail.

Maggie and Glenn reconcile and abandon their guard post to have sex.

The Governor returns to Woodbury and quietly tells Martinez to set an ambush at the feed store, to bring Michonne back alive, and to kill any of Rick's people who show up to the meeting. Milton takes exception to the plan but does not press the issue. The Governor thanks Andrea for arranging the meeting and assures her they've come to an agreement, to be finalized in two days. However, he does not respond to her inquiry about the agreement's terms.

Rick, Daryl, and Hershel return to the prison, where Rick tells his people they are going to war; The Governor wants them all dead. He later confides to Hershel that The Governor offered peace if they'd hand over Michonne, and while he believes The Governor would kill them all anyway, he must consider the possibility that won't happen. Hershel reminds Rick: Michonne saved his life, Carl's (Chandler Riggs), and those of Glenn and Maggie by telling them about Merle's kidnapping them. Rick agrees that Michonne has earned her place with the group, and The Governor will almost certainly betray him, but isn't sure he would bet his son's life on that and hopes Hershel can talk him out of turning Michonne over.

From the outside prison catwalk, Rick spots a woman in a long white satin gown standing by the graves. When he approaches, she disappears and reappears outside the fence. He rushes through the gate, leaving it open, and recognizes her as Lori. She cradles his face. Michonne watches from the distance as Rick stands outside the fence, seeing that he is interacting with himself rather than an actual person. She closes the gate.

In Woodbury, the Governor compliments Andrea on her speech and asks her to take over leadership of Woodbury. He says that he is no longer fit to lead the people, but that she is. Meanwhile, Daryl and Merle bicker in the forest. Daryl pines for life back at the prison, but Merle predicts the Governor will slaughter everyone there. Glenn makes an executive decision to fortify the prison against the Governor, despite Hershel's suggestion that they flee. He explains that having a newborn and Hershel's one leg makes them too vulnerable to flee. Glenn enlists Carl to help investigate the overlooked breach near the prison's administrative area, where Tyreese and his group, as well as groups of walkers, found their way inside.

The Governor visits Milton in his lab. He asks if he can still count on Milton's allegiance. Milton reassures the Governor, who then asks him to keep tabs on Andrea. Later, Andrea asks Karen and Milton for Martinez and the Governor's whereabouts. They tell her the two left Woodbury but dodge further questions.

Back at the prison, Glenn and Carl inform the group that the boiler room is overrun with walkers again. Hershel again advises a retreat, but Glenn ignores him and says he and Maggie will go to the far side of the prison to look for the breach. Hershel questions Maggie's readiness for that task.

Glenn finds Maggie alone in her cell. He insists they talk about her encounter with the Governor and asks if she was raped. She snaps at him before telling him all that happened and answering that she was not raped. Glenn reaches out to her and she shoves him away, bitterly asking if he feels better now that he knows the full story. On the outside catwalk, Carol and Axel establish a barricade in preparation for the impending showdown with the Governor. Axel tells Carol that he was sent to prison for armed robbery, although he had held up a gas station with a water pistol, because the authorities' search of his home turned up his brother's gun. He flirts as Carol shows him how to use a real one.

Meanwhile, Merle and Daryl encounter a Mexican family of survivors under attack by walkers. Daryl immediately goes to their rescue, killing off walkers with his crossbow. Merle half-heartedly assists. When all the walkers are dead, Merle issues a racial slur and briefly aims his gun at the father in warning before searching through their vehicle for supplies, while the mother and a baby are in the car bawling. Daryl points his crossbow at Merle and instructs the family to drive away, then stalks off, leaving Merle alone. Merle follows Daryl into the forest and chastises him for risking his life to help strangers. He reminds Daryl that they had planned to rob the encampment outside of Atlanta but did not, only because Merle was not there to help carry it through. They grapple and Daryl's shirt rips, revealing childhood scars from their father's beatings. Merle apologetically says he was unaware of the beatings. Daryl insists he did, because their father beat Merle as well and that that's why Merle left. Merle says that he had to leave; otherwise, he would have killed their father. Daryl stalks away, telling Merle that he is going back where he belongs. Merle complains that the prison group would never accept him.

Outside the prison, Hershel tries to stop Glenn from going off on his own. He warns Glenn that his rage will get himself killed. Glenn says that with Rick's not being in his right mind and Daryl's departure from the group, he is now the default leader. He ignores Hershel's concern about his well-being and drives off. Hershel calls to a disoriented Rick from the prison fence. He tells him the group needs him as a leader now more than ever and Glenn cannot fill his leadership role; he fears that Glenn is being reckless. Rick confesses that he is seeing Lori. He knows it is a hallucination, but feels there has got to be a reason he is seeing her. He walks back into the forest against Hershel's wishes.

In the courtyard, Carol and Axel chat. Suddenly, a bullet hits Axel in the head, killing him instantly. The Governor, stationed at the treeline, lowers his rifle. Rick's group runs for cover as the Governor and his men attack. Gunfire erupts on both sides, with Maggie's eventually killing a Woodbury soldier stationed in the prison yard's guard tower. A bread truck crashes through the prison's inner and outer gates and stops in the yard. The Governor smiles as the back door opens and walkers stream out. The Governor drives off as the survivors struggle with the walkers.

Outside the fence, Rick is out of ammunition and surrounded by walkers, one of which is about to bite him. He is rescued by Daryl and Merle, who have returned to the prison. Together, they kill the remaining walkers outside the fence. Momentarily safe, Rick stares darkly into the prison yard, now swarming with walkers. Inside the gate, Maggie and Glenn, their differences seemingly repaired, touch each other affectionately as they and the other survivors inside the gate gaze outward.

The episode opens showing a new group of five, led by Tyreese (Chad Coleman), fighting their way through walker-infested woods. The slowest of the group, Donna (Cherie Dvorak), is bitten, though Tyreese brings her along until her husband Allen (Daniel Thomas May) and son Ben (Tyler Chase) are psychologically ready to let her go. They head through a fence and collapsed wall into the back of the prison.

At the prison, Carol reprimands lonesome Axel (Lew Temple) for flirting with seventeen-year old Beth Greene (Emily Kinney). Learning that Carol isn't a lesbian (as he had assumed due to Carol's short hairstyle), Axel propositions her but she flatly turns him down. After hearing numerous screams, Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) discovers and rescues Tyreese's group, bringing them into a section of the group's cell block. Upon realizing that Donna has succumbed to her infection, Carl offers to shoot her, but Tyreese says they'll take care of their own. Carl locks them in a common area for safekeeping, with Tyreese's understanding.

In Woodbury, Andrea (Laurie Holden) happens upon one of the Governor's (David Morrissey) family photos and sees she bears a striking resemblance to his late wife. The Governor checks on his walker-daughter, Penny (Kylie Szymanski), and struggles to make a personal connection with her. When Penny shows more interest in a bowl of raw meat than his efforts, he angrily hoods the walker and shoves her back into her cage.

When Glenn and Maggie Greene unsuccessfully attempt an escape, the Governor orders Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) to execute them. Maggie kills one of the attackers with a sharp walker bone Glenn had given her for protection, and Merle's group is overwhelmed by an ambush planned by Rick Grimes, Michonne, Daryl Dixon, and Oscar, who rescue Glenn and Maggie. As they withdraw to a vacant house, Michonne slips away, arousing the group's suspicions. Glenn reveals to Daryl that Merle, his older brother, is in Woodbury and among the Governor's men. Daryl wants to stay and find Merle, but Rick begs Daryl to help them get Glenn and Maggie out. Meanwhile, the Governor responds to the invasion by issuing shoot-to-kill orders. He tries to keep Andrea out of danger and ignorant of the truth by sending her knocking on doors to enforce the curfew.

Michonne, who had been awaiting the Governor's arrival at his residence, hears and discovers Penny. The Governor eventually finds Michonne with Penny and disarms himself, begging that his daughter be spared, but Michonne retaliates by killing the walker. Enraged by Michonne's actions, the Governor assaults her, destroying the aquariums in his secret room, strewing snapping walker heads all over the floor. Michonne eventually stabs the Governor's right eye with a shard of glass and attempts to finish him off, but Andrea arrives and holds her at gunpoint, leading her to flee. Andrea then tends to the Governor, who cradles his daughter's remains in grief, after which he is brought to Dr. Stevens for medical care. While his wounds are being treated, the Governor avoids Andrea's questions about his secret room and angrily confronts Merle, who had said Michonne had been executed.

Using smoke grenades for cover, Rick's group eventually reaches the walls of Woodbury as a shootout between Rick's group and the Governor's soldiers ensues. Daryl provides cover fire as the others move across open ground for the wall. Rick hesitates when he hallucinates his deceased nemesis Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) advancing through the smoke, allowing a gunman to shoot Oscar; Maggie puts a bullet in Oscar's head to prevent reanimation. Rick, Glenn and Maggie proceed to escape over the gate, where they meet up with Michonne. She is questioned by the three, although she pleads that she can still be useful to them. The Governor calls a town meeting, where he reports they have been attacked by terrorists brought by Merle and he brings forth a captured Daryl, reuniting the brothers. The town calls for their blood.
