After last episode's Bob-b-que, the Grimes group's brief moment of joy was shattered. Carol and Daryl took off in search of Beth, Father Gabriel was hiding some sort of secret, and we discovered Tyreese is still in "I can't kill nobody" mode. However, "Four Walls and a Roof" was an intense hour and definitely delivered some "hell yeah!" moments. Here's where we are with Episode 3...
Tainted Meat
It sucks to be Bob. Gareth and the other douchebags are still chowing down on Bob's leg while Gareth shares his philosophy on Terminus and eating people and blah, blah, blah. I'm incredibly tired of him. Bob, however, goes from defeated and crying to laughing hysterically and now I'm wondering....YES! Bob definitely has a Walker bite on his shoulder. "I've been bitten you stupid pricks! I'm tainted meat! Tainnnnted Meaaaaat!" HA! Gareth kicks Bob in the head and knocks him out, but damn that was funny.
This Is The Lord's House
The group realizes Bob, Carol and Daryl are missing and confront Gabriel. He swears he has nothing to do with their disappearance but the look on Rick's face lets Gabriel know that it's time to start talking. The priest says that he always lock the doors at night and tells the group that the apocalypse started very early in the morning and the doors to the church were still locked. He chose to save himself and not open the doors, leaving entire families to be ripped apart by Walkers. This is basically what I had guessed last episode. I'm 2 for 2! Gabriel is crying at this point and says he buried the bones and what was left of his parishioners...."I'm damned. I was damned before. I always lock the doors at night. I always lock the doors..."
Father Gabriel's emotional confession is interrupted by the sound of tainted meat being dumped on the lawn in front of the church. Sasha and the others drag Bob inside and Bob tells them that the Terminus survivors captured him and ate his leg. He also informs his group about Gareth seeing Carol and Daryl drive away from the church. Smokin Hot Rosita offers to find pain pills in the first aid kit...but Bob reveals his bite and everyone knows his fate is sealed. They move him to a couch in Gabriel's office where Sasha is forced to say a very difficult goodbye. Tyreese reluctantly offers to do what needs to be done when Bob dies, and the gentile giant lingers behind to put a knife in Bob's head just before he turns. RIP Bob.
Abraham announces that he's taking Eugene, Smokin Hot Rosita, and the bus, and he's getting the hell out of there. Rick refuses to leave without Carol and Daryl, everyone yells and screams, and Stupid Tara, Glenn and Maggie agree to go with Abraham if they stay one more night and help take care of the Terminus douchebags. Off they go to seek their revenge, but Gareth and company invade the church as soon as they think they are in the clear. The entire place is quiet until Judith starts to cry. Damn it!
The Terminus survivors move toward the baby noises but two of their gunmen are taken out with shots to the head immediately. Rick and everyone we thought had left the church were actually hiding inside and Gareth and company lower their weapons. Instead of wasting any additional bullets, the Grimes group beats/stabs every last Terminus douchebag to death and it's gruesome. Rick also makes good on his promise to kill Gareth with the machete, so at least we know he's a man of his word. Father Gabriel is appalled by what he sees, saying they are in the Lord's house. "No," Maggie replies. "It's just four walls and a roof."
New Divide
When morning comes, Glenn, Maggie and Stupid Tara make good on their promise and take the bus to Washington with Eugene, Abraham and Smokin Hot Rosita. Rick promises to be right behind them as soon as Carol and Daryl get back (and still no one has mentioned Beth), and Abraham leaves them with a map to find their way. It's a long ass way. The folks staying behind dig graves for Bob and his captors, and the celebratory dinner the group had just yesterday feels like months ago.
Gabriel accompanies Michonne as she keeps watch, though I'm pretty sure she's not interested in the company. They hear a noise in the bushes. Daryl appears then...and he's not alone...but we don't see who comes out of the bushes after him. Ugh. I bet it's Beth and I bet Carol somehow got separated again.
The episode ends there and I'm thrilled that the Terminus nonsense is over. The Grimes group showed no mercy and that whole scene had me on the edge of my seat. I'm definitely bummed about Bob though. It seems that Tyreese and Sasha just aren't meant to have romance on this show, but I'm glad Tyreese manned up and helped Bob in the only way he could. That being said, I worry about what lies ahead for Carol. If Daryl returned without her, I'm hoping the reaction is "Carol saved our asses a lot so we also need to save hers." I don't know that I can handle another half season of Carol being separated from the group....but here's hoping I won't have to.
