"Four Walls and a Roof" |
---|
"Four Walls and a Roof" is the third episode of the fifth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on October 26, 2014.
Plot
Gareth (Andrew J. West) taunts Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.) after his group eats Bob's left leg, and expresses his anger over Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) killing his mother. He points out his group saw her and "the archer" (Daryl, Norman Reedus) drive away. Gareth vows to kill Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group. Bob begins to cry, but then hysterically laughs and shows the group that he was previously bitten by a walker. Those who ate his leg begin to spit out what is in their mouths and panic. Gareth angrily knocks Bob out.
At the church, Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) confronts Father Gabriel Stokes (Seth Gilliam) over the disappearance of several of the group members. Rick then asks what Gabriel did before that he is so ashamed of: he admits that when the outbreak occurred, he locked his entire congregation outside of the church, leaving them to die. He shows remorse over his actions and says that he is damned to Hell. The group then notices Bob lying outside the church unconscious.
Once inside, Bob warns the group about Gareth and that Daryl and Carol drove off, before showing everyone his bite mark. Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) begins to argue to Rick that they have to leave for Washington as soon as possible, but Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) convinces him to stay and help them retaliate against The Hunters. Before Sasha leaves to join Rick and the others, she tells her brother Tyreese (Chad Coleman) to stab Bob immediately once he stops breathing; Tyreese reluctantly promises.
Later that night, Rick and part of the group leave to search for Gareth and The Hunters; however, they've been hiding outside the church and break in. As The Hunters make their way through the church, Rick's group returns and kills two of them, then shoots two of Gareth's fingers off, forcing them to surrender. Gareth tries to explain to Rick that they were once good people, but changed after other people and the environment changed. Rick has none of it, and his group mutilates The Hunters. Rick justifies their actions by saying "It could've been us."
The following morning, everyone says their goodbyes to Bob as he lies dying. Bob thanks Rick for taking him into the prison and giving him a home, and later dies in Sasha's arms. As Sasha is about to stab Bob in the head, Tyreese offers to do it to spare his sister's emotions. The group buries Bob beside the church.
Abraham shows Rick the route to Washington, and expresses hope that they will follow. Abraham, Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt), and Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos) drive off in a repaired bus. Rick then reads a message from Abraham on the map, saying "Sorry, I was an asshole. Come to Washington. The new world is gonna need Rick Grimes."
That night, Gabriel talks to Michonne, expressing his discomfort over the horror he has seen recently. Michonne hears a noise in the bushes and walks over. She finds Daryl, and asks where Carol is. Daryl then says "Come on out."
