Prison or not, human survival will hinge on available supplies of food and water, weapons, possible transportation and communication. Still, our intrepid survivors wish to feel safe for a time, and who can blame them? All that running around, eating owls and god knows what else is bound to take its toll. Accordingly, Rick wants everyone to stay locked inside past the morning. In fact, he regards it as a possible permanent location. Glenn Steven Yeun , helping to tidy up the prison.
We also learn that Andrea is alive and well, and similarly scavenging with a katana-carrying lady named Michonne. Andrea is revealed as having a fever, which has Michonne out looking for medicine. No doubt they are also seeking a new home, and perhaps a new start with a new group. It is, after all an enclosure, which by itself does not spell security. If you have a wide open space it means you can run.
You are short on options otherwise. Aside from that, you are living and sleeping in a prison. Poor Lori Grimes confides in Hershel that she ruined her family. As everybody but Lori explores the prison, it turns out they have bitten off more than they could chew — a significant amount of prison walkers give chase!
Before long, one of them bites off more of Hershel than it can chew, and our hero undergoes some amateur surgery from Rick. Off that leg goes — ouch! But will it prevent the walker infection? On top of that, yet another issue unfolds: There are prisoners alive in the prison, who witnessed the amputation and are, well, prisoners.
Holy mackerel! They did all of this with two young group members Carl and Beth and Lori, whose pregnancy was a growing danger. The group was starving and desperate by the time they actually discovered the prison. This really doesn't make sense, as the end of season 2 showed a shot of the location that revealed it was not far from Hershel's farm. Clearing the prison, taking whatever supplies was left, and claiming it for his own, definitely seems like something the nefarious Governor would have done.
Except somehow, he was just as ignorant as everyone else. The Governor didn't decide that he wanted the prison until he realized that Rick and Co. It seems weird that he wouldn't have sent some of his followers out sooner to see what was there.
The prison was a massive facility that was primarily intact when Rick and Co. People could be in there without anyone else knowing the prisoners and people could sneak in without raising any alarms Tyreese, Sasha, and Co.
Because of its size and several rooms and cellblocks, the prison should have taken months to clear. This was not the case for Rick and his crew, though, as they miraculously safetied the facility in a matter of mere days. They did this after Lori died, clearing out the rest of the cellblocks and the death row block, but moving at such a pace just isn't realistic.
The prison got an upgrade by the time we caught up with the survivors in season 4. Instead of looking cold and unwelcoming, as if often did in season 3, the group had turned it into a cozy sanctuary. Cellblocks and their cells looked a lot more like real rooms, and more areas, such as the prison library, were explored.
The thing about these "new" rooms that were revealed in season 4, is that they didn't look at all like they belonged in a prison.
The flu that spread throughout the prison was an infamous storyline that occurred in the early episodes of season 4. The arc was rather nonsensical and gave audiences a taste of the messy storyline that would overtake The Walking Dead in the Gimple Era season 4 to season 8.
At the beginning of season 4, a few survivors started coming down with a severe illness that ultimately led to death and reanimation. This disease spread throughout the prison and seemed to be a serious threat. But "Killer Within" saw moments between Lori and Carl that were so heartbreaking, you'd have to be an emotional zombie not to choke up. It's a tribute to the skills of all involved that, in the midst of a horrible attack by walkers invading the supposed prison refuge Rick and his group had previously secured, the most powerful moments were the scenes in which the pregnant Lori goes into labor.
Separated from the rest of the group, Lori lies on the floor of the prison boiler room, where she, Maggie Lauren Cohan and Carl have hidden from walkers. Maggie and Lori realize that Lori can't push the baby out -- Maggie will have to cut the baby out of Lori's stomach, without benefit of anesthesia or medical supplies of any kind.
Lori knows what this means. But she insists Maggie cut her open, because what matters is saving the baby. Poor Carl is taking this all in, and Lori -- who has this season been beating herself up for her marital mistakes and her mothering skills -- rises to this awful occasion with magnificent maternal skills.
She tells Carl how brave he is, how strong. Carl is crying, but Lori reassures him, "I love you, I love you," and embraces him. And then, in the most touching moment yet in the series, Lori looks straight up, and with tender finality, says, "Goodnight, love.
Then comes the pain, and the blood, as Maggie slices into Lori's abdomen. Lori screams in pain, the blood flows, and Maggie pulls the baby out. At first, the baby is unresponsive, but then begins to cry -- a sign of life. Lori, however, is gone. Maggie tells Carl, "We have to go," but Carl by now knows better.
But young Carl is growing up very fast. As Maggie, her hands covered with Lori's blood, holds the newborn baby, we hear the gunshot. Then we see Carl, walking past Maggie, his face set and lacking emotion.
And Lori isn't the only casualty. If the baby inside Lori provided one meaning for the episode title, so did the fate of. One of the prisoners that Rick had earlier locked outside the prison takes his rather elaborate revenge -- he has cut open the prison gate, which is how a herd of walkers manages to get in.
They're attracted first by a bloody deer carcass left at the gate, and then by the prison alarms sounding. Rick and the group are taken totally by surprise by the walkers, and in the ensuing chaos, they get separated.
Hershel Scott Wilson , who has managed to get up on crutches, retreats with Beth to a hiding place. But T-Dog gets bitten in the shoulder as he's trying to secure the lock on the prison yard gate. We know what this means, but T-Dog gets paired up with Carol as they run from the walkers. She insists she won't give up on him, despite the certainty that he'll turn.
