Shane and Otis try to escape a siege of zombies as the others look after Carl and continue the search for Sophia.
This is a dramatic and exciting episode with some decent character moments.
The plot picks up immediately after the end of the previous episode with events at the farmhouse, on the highway, and following Shane through his mission to retrieve medical supplies. Each segment is written well with the two main plot lines relating strongly to each other.
Much like the previous episode the premise of Carl's gunshot has no real suspense because it's obvious that he is going to be okay and this makes me feel more like a fly on the wall watching what his parents are going through. Andrew Lincoln and Sarah Wayne Callies portray these characters realistically with great performances, but the concept feels a bit dragged out given the lack of uncertainty.
The character development is easily the best part of the plot, with Shane in particular having a very eventful and interesting contribution to the outcome. Daryl is also becoming a more rounded character, seemingly a lot more than the redneck caricature first introduced in series 1.
All visuals are excellent with the story being told by the cinematography, editing as much as the dialogue. The zombie effects are as strong as ever. Little things like the high visibility vest worn by one of the zombies gives them great character.
