History Recap / TheWalkingDeadS03E04KillerWithin

When Rick, Daryl and Oscar reach the generator room, they are attacked by Andrew, the prisoner who Rick locked in the courtyard and left for dead. Andrew and Rick fight while Daryl struggles to to hold the door shut against walkers. When Oscar picks up Rick's gun, Andrew tells Oscar to kill Rick so that they can take over the prison together. Oscar shoots Andrew instead and hands Rick's weapon back to him, while Daryl finishes off the remaining walkers. With Oscar's loyalty now established, Rick turns off the generator.

An unseen individual drags a gas can and a deer carcass through the prison, attracting the attention of two walkers near the gate. The individual tosses the carcass to the walkers, breaks open the gate.

* AnAxToGrind: One of Andrew's tools in the opening sequence, and his weapon in the fight with Rick.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: Andrew is more DangerouslyGenreSavvy than his comic counterpart.

** Technically T-Dog too, since he's a DecompositeCharacter of Tyreese, who appears later in the season (and is currently SparedByTheAdaptation as of Season 5).

* DeathByAdaptation: Lori, who dies earlier than her comic counterpart. At the least she dies a bit more peacefully.

* HeroicSacrifice: T-Dog (who has been bit) sacrifices himself to give Carol time to run while they're in the prison corridors.
** Lori as well to save her baby.

** Also, Andrew, despite having only made his first appearance this season.

Back at the prison, Hershel is testing out a pair of crutches in the courtyard with the assistance of Lori, Carl and Beth. Rick, Daryl and Glenn, watching from the outer gate of the prison, are genuinely happy for the first time in a long while. Suddenly, a crowd of walkers emerges from the prison and pours into the courtyard. Rick, Daryl and Glenn race towards the courtyard as the remaining survivors are scattered. Lori, Carl and Maggie run into a cell block while Hershel and Beth lock themselves in an entryway. Carol and T-Dog flee into another cell block - but T-Dog is bit in the shoulder while locking the courtyard gate.

In the boiler room, Lori realizes that she won't survive her pregnancy and orders Maggie to cut her open to save the baby. Lori shares one last moment with Carl before Maggie performs the c-section. Lori loses consciousness before Maggie pulls the baby out. Carl realizes that his dead mother will soon turn, and declares that he will put her down. Maggie leaves the room, and a single gunshot is heard before Carl emerges.

Rick, Daryl and Glenn move through the prison and discover the remains of T-Dog's body along with Carol's scarf. Outside, the group reunites with Hershel and Beth, only to be shocked by the sound of a baby crying. Maggie and Carl emerge with the newborn. Rick stares on in dumbfounded shock and asks where Lori is before realizing what happened, and he collapses in grief, while Glenn consoles Maggie.

* ChekhovsSkill: Subverted. Not only is Carol's prior training on how to do a C-section (from "Sick") ''not'' used in the episode, but Maggie is reluctantly forced to perform one to save the unborn baby, killing Lori in the process.

* ADeathInTheLimelight: T-Dog gets much more dialogue than normal, gets more screentime, and does two heroic actions (closing the courtyard gate and charging a pair of walkers to give Carol time to run) before he dies.

When Rick, Daryl and Glenn make it to the prison gate, they discover that the lock has been deliberately cut. Rick begins to accuse Oscar and Axel of cutting it, but is interrupted by a loud siren. The noise attracts nearby walkers toward the prison. Oscar realizes that the backup generators have been reactivated, and he and Axel offer to help Rick shut it down. Inside the prison, T-Dog is brought down by a group of walkers, heroically buying time for Carol to escape. In another cell block, the stress of the attack causes Lori to go into labor.

Carl guides Lori and Maggie to the prison's boiler room, and they begin the process of delivering the baby. However, Lori's contractions cause her to hemorrhage, putting the baby in danger. Elsewhere, T-Dog and Carol reach the door to the prison's laundry room, but discover that the path is blocked by walkers. T-Dog tells Carol to keep going and charges at them, then screams for her to run as the walkers begin to eat him.

At The Governor's apartment, Andrea shares a drink with him, where he reveals his first name (Philip) and talks about his wife, who died in a car crash prior to the outbreak. Later, Andrea goes to Michonne and tells her she wants to stay longer, leading the latter to angrily leave.

Rick, Daryl and Oscar reach the generator room, only for Rick to be attacked by Andrew, the prisoner who Rick locked in the courtyard and left for dead. Andrew and Rick begin to fight while Daryl struggles to keep two walkers from entering the room after dropping his weapon. In desperation, Oscar throws a barrel to stop the fight, and picks up Rick's gun as Daryl dispatches the remaining walkers. Andrew tells Oscar to kill Rick so that they can take over the prison together, but Oscar shoots him instead and hands Rick's weapon back to him. With Oscar's loyalty now established, Rick turns off the generator.

In the boiler room, Lori realizes that she won't survive her pregnancy, and orders Maggie to cut her open so that the baby can be saved. Lori shares one last moment with Carl before Maggie performs the procedure. The resulting incision is too traumatic and Lori loses consciousness for good, while Maggie pulls the baby out. Realzing that Lori will turn after her death, Carl offers to put her down for good. Maggie leaves the room, and hears a single gunshot behind her before Carl walks past.

Rick, Daryl and Glenn move through the prison, and discover the remains of T-Dog's body along with Carol's scarf. Outside, the group reunites with Hershel and Beth, only to be shocked when they hear the sounds of a baby crying. Rick looks over and sees Maggie and Carl emerge with the newborn. Rick stares on in dumbfounded shock and repeatedly asks where Lori is before realizing what happened, and he collapses in grief, while Glenn consoles Maggie.

An unidentified individual drags a gas can and a deer carcass through the prison, before getting the attention of two walkers near the prison gate. The individual tosses the carcass to the walkers, breaks open the gate and places the deer's heart in front of it.

Inside the prison, Rick and the rest of the group are discussing how to clear out the rest of the facility when Axel and Oscar walk up to them. The duo explain that they are sick of living alone in the cell block, and want to join the rest of the survivors. Although T-Dog argues that they could sleep near his cell, Rick insists that it isn't possible, and gives the duo an ultimatum: stay in the cell block, or leave the prison for good. Rick then tells Glenn to give the duo some supplies and send them on their way.

In Woodbury, Michonne is searching the town and walks up to the National Guard trucks, where she discovers blood and a bullet hole in its side. When she questions The Governor about it, he allays her concerns and tries to get her to remain in the town with Andrea. Later on, Michonne talks with Andrea about leaving Woodbury. Andrea isn't convinced by Michonne's assertions, and is torn between staying or leaving with the latter.

Back at the prison, Hershel is testing out a pair of crutches in the courtyard while being assisted by Lori, Carl and Beth. Rick, Daryl and Glenn, who are standing on the outer gate of the prison, see this and are genuinely happy for the first time in a long while. Suddenly, walkers pour into the courtyard, causing all Hell to break loose. Rick, Daryl and Glenn race towards the courtyard as the remaining survivors are scattered. Lori, Carl and Maggie run into a cell block, Hershel and Beth lock themselves in an entryway, and Lori and T-Dog flee to safety - though not before the latter is bit in the shoulder by a walker while locking the courtyard gate.

Meanwhile, Andrea gives Merle the location of Hershel's farm so he can look for Daryl. Andrea asks Merle if The Governor is a good man, and Merle replies in the affirmative. Merle goes to The Governor and asks for permission to visit the farm, but The Governor replies that he can't lose him on a wild goose chase.

Rick, Daryl and Glenn make it to the prison gate and discover that someone cut the lock on the gate. Rick initially accuses Oscar and Axel of cutting it, but a loud siren interrupts the group. Oscar realizes that the prison's backup generators have been reactivated, and he and Axel offer to help Rick find the generator and shut it down. Meanwhile, T-Dog insists to Carol that he needs to guide her back to the cell block before he dies, and elsewhere, the stress of what is happening causes Lori to go into premature labor.
