Rick, Hershel and Glenn are planning to leave the bar after killing Dave and Tony, only to find out that the latter two men's group are outside and are calling out for them. The resulting discussion between Rick and the group outside results in a shootout. Rick orders Glenn and Hershel to go out the back door. Glenn is nearly shot by one of the Philadelphia group (Sean), but Hershel shoots and wounds Sean first, leaving him to be mauled. Realizing that walkers are quickly swarming the area, the Philadelphia group quickly moves to flee the area, although they leave one of their members, Randall, for dead after the latter impales his leg on a fence spike. Rick, Hershel and Glenn discover Randall and, with no time to amputate his leg and walkers closing in, Rick rips Randall's leg off of the spike before they escape.

At the farm, Carol discovers Daryl's collection of severed walker ears. Daryl then discovers this and confronts her about Sophia's death, claiming that the latter wasn't his responsibility. Daryl ends up walking away, though not before Carol says she won't let him push her away. Meanwhile, Beth is still in shock over what happened during the [[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS02E07PrettyMuchDeadAlready barn massacre]].

'''Season 2, episode 09'''
!Triggerfinger

After crashing her car in [[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS02E08Nebraska the previous episode]], Lori regains consciousness, only to discover that a walker heard the noise and is attempting to attack her through the driver's side window. Lori manages to stab it in the face and escape the vehicle, then kicks another walker to the ground before shooting it.

Meanwhile, the group at the farm realizes that Lori hasn't come back, and Shane heads out to find her. He discovers her walking towards the town where Rick and Glenn were headed, and in order to convince her to come back to the farm, lies that Rick has already returned. Upon arriving back at the farm, Lori discovers Shane's lie and confronts him, which leads to Shane inadvertantly revealing to the group that she's pregnant.

The next morning, the group gets ready to go after Rick, Hershel and Glenn, while Dale indicates to Andrea that Shane is dangerous. Suddenly, Rick and the others return with a blindfolded Randall in the backseat. The group mulls over what to do with the hostage, with Rick and Shane having wildly different ideas - Rick wants to patch him up and drop him off somewhere remote to fend for himself, while Shane thinks doing so will lead to others finding out where the farm is and compromising their safety.

Maggie and Glenn talk about what happened when Hershel saved the latter's life at the bar, and Glenn indicates that he froze up because of her saying "I love you" to him a short while before. He indicates that he was afraid to die because of how it would affect her, but pushes Maggie away when she tries to console him.

In their tent, Rick and Lori talk about recent events. Lori states that Shane thinks the baby is his, that he is very dangerous and that she believes he killed Otis. She states to Rick that unless he does something, Shane's actions will put the group in danger.
