Rick drives back to the prison after [[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS04E04Indifference leaving Carol behind]], clearly still conflicted over what has happened.
Meanwhile, in the prison quarantine zone, the situation is getting worse. Several civilians are now coughing up blood, while Hershel, Sasha and Glenn try to stabilize an older man by intubating him and using a breathing pump to regulate his oxygen. Hershel wryly tries to make light of their situation, but soonafter discovers another recently-deceased civilian, and takes the corpse out of sight so that the rest of the infectees won't see them putting him down.
Rick finally arrives at the prison and sees Maggie, who is the sole person manning the fence and clearing the walkers. Rick asks if everything is okay, and Maggie tells him she's not sure, but that Carl is safe. When she asks where Carol is, Rick tells her the truth about what happened, and Maggie reluctantly agrees that she would have done the same thing in his place.
Soon after, Maggie goes to visit her father in the windowed meeting room, and asks how Glenn is. He replies that the latter is just sleeping, and tells her to stay strong. Outside the meeting room, Glenn is standing against a wall and thanks Hershel for covering for him, as he didn't want Maggie to see him like that. Afterwards, Hershel tells everyone to lock themselves in their cells and begins closing doors, only for another man to choke on the blood in his lungs. Hershel and Sasha move the body to the meeting room, but the stress gets to him as he covers the body and stabs it.
Rick, who has come into the other side of the meeting room to get an update, sees this and asks Hershel how he's holding up. When the latter reports the situation inside, Rick tells him about what happened to Carol, leading to the latter having a near-breakdown at the revelation. He recovers and returns to the cell block, only to discover an extremely-weakened Sasha. As he moves her into a cell, a female corpse reanimates and begins to stir.
In the administration wing, Rick brings Carl a bag of food, but the latter replies that he wants to help. Rick tells him there's a task they could both do together.
In the infected cell block, the man Glenn is pumping air into succumbs to his injuries, while Glenn himself begins choking on his own blood and passes out. Lizzie sees this and calls for help. When Hershel moves to assist, the female walker attacks Hershel. Another civilian saves his life, while another man attempts to shoot the walker. The situation spirals out of control when the man with the weapon is bit by his reanimated son, causing chaos.
Outside, Rick, Carl and Maggie are propping up logs against the prison fence when they hear the gunshots inside. Rick orders her to go inside and investigate, but soon after she leaves, the logs break and a segment of the fence caves in. Rick and Carl are forced to run to the inner yard.
Inside, Lizzie leads the reanimated walker with the breathing tube away from Glenn in order to save his life. The walker tries to attack her, only to be pulled off and thrown off the catwalk by Hershel. He puts Lizzie in a cell with Luke and goes to retrieve a shotgun from Dr. Subramanian, only to discover that the latter reanimated. He mournfully kills Caleb and retrieves the shotgun before killing three more walkers.
Outside, Rick and Carl run to a cache of weapons. Rick quickly tells his son how to reload an assault rifle, and the horde breaks through the inner fence. Together, the pair clear out the horde.
Meanwhile, Hershel sees Glenn's rapidly-failing condition, and realizes he can save him. Meanwhile, Maggie breaks into the quarantine zone and kills another before encountering her father struggling with the last walker. She manages to kill the last walker without puncturing the breathing pump, and together, Hershel and Maggie save Glenn's life by intubating him. The supply run group arrives soon after, and begins distributing medicine to the infected civilians.
The next morning, Rick and Carl go back to their farm and discover that more crops have grown, while Daryl asks where Carol is, only to be told to discuss it with Rick. Meanwhile, Hershel goes out on a run with Michonne, while Tyreese and Bob tend to the sick.
Outside the prison, however, a familiar threat is lurking...

!Internment
!Tropes
*AbsenteeActor: Carol and Beth are entirely absent from this episode, while Daryl, Michonne, Tyreese and Bob only show up for a few minutes at the end.
*ADayInTheLimelight: For Hershel, to an extent.
*BadassGrandpa: While not ''technically'' a grandpa, Hershel fills every other aspect of the trope in spades, fighting off walkers left and right while trying to stay on top of the infection.
*TheBechdelTest: Failed.
*BigDamnHeroes: Maggie breaks into the quarantine area to assist her father when the deceased flu victims start to turn.
*{{Bookends}}: The final scene of this episode closely mirrors the opening scene of the season premiere, with Rick coming out of the prison to tend to his garden.
*TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: The Governor.]]
*TheCavalry: Daryl, Michonne, Tyreese and Bob return to the prison at the end of the episode with the antibiotics.
*ContaminationSituation: The sickness reaches its peak, with much of the episode focusing on Hershel's attempts to keep the quarantine under control.
*ContinuityNod: Rick explains to Maggie and Hershel why Carol isn't with him when he returns from his supply run.
*CreepyChild: Lizzie draws a walker away from an unconscious Glenn by baiting it and encouraging it along like a dog.
*DeggansRule: Passed.
*TheDeterminator: Glenn and Sasha both keep fighting through their own sickness to help Hershel tend to the others, which leads to Sasha passing out and Glenn nearly choking to death on his own blood.
*DueToTheDead: Hershel initially insists on this, wheeling those who have succumbed to the sickness away from the main quarantine area and holding a Bible over them while Glenn stabs them in the head to prevent them from turning. However, this ceases to be a viable option as the dead quickly begin to pile up.
*TheGunslinger: Maggie once again demonstrates her impeccable aiming skills by taking out a walker Hershel is struggling with from the floor below without hitting either Hershel or the intubation bag needed to save Glenn's life.
*HeroicBSOD: Hershel breaks down once the drama is over and Maggie finally tells him to rest.
*IllBoy / IllGirl: Glenn and Sasha.
