Quick Thoughts on The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode: Cherokee Rose

Here we are another post about the most recent airing of The Walking Dead! There are spoilers below!

The episode begins with the other survivors reaching Hershel's home. There is a funeral service for Otis where Shane remembers his actions and speaks about Otis' final moments. Shane lies about the events and makes Otis into a hero who saved Shane and Carl.

The survivors decide to set up camp and to form a search party for Sophia. Maggie decides to go into town for a pharmacy run and Rick sends Glen to help her. Darryl decides to go off on his own to find Sophia. Dale and T-Dog goes over to the nearby well to pump some water. There is a problem though: There is a zombie in the well!


So the great idea that the group comes up with is to lower Glen into the well as live bait so he can rope the zombie. They can then pull the zombie out so that the water in the well won't be contaminated. Of course things go horribly wrong. Glen almost dies in the well but gets the job done. Things go horribly wrong once again when the zombie's body separates with the lower half falling into the well thereby contaminating the water in the well. This is also the Zombie Killing Highlight for this episode.

That has got to hurt!

Now what do we do?

T-Dog comes up with the solution. Smash the Zombie's face!

Hershel tries to convince Rick about the possibility of God. Rick is not convinced. Later Rick tries to convince Hershel to reconsider and to let them stay on the farm. Hershel doesn't make any promises but is willing to think it over.

Maggie and Glen reach the town pharmacy and Glen gets the secret item that Lori discreetly requested. In an embarrassing moment Maggie catches Glen holding a box of condoms. Maggie being lonely decides to have sex with Glen. Although it seems that Maggie was not satisfied telling Glen that what happened between them was a one time event.

The big reveal comes at the end of this episode. We find out what Lori had asked Glen to get at the pharmacy. It's a pregnancy test which we find out that it's positive! A question that arises is who is the father?

This was a great episode and cannot wait for the next episode this Sunday on AMC.
