Let\'s keep it to the ENTIRE series or not at all. We don\'t need to apply these tests to every single recap page. This is the only case I have seen this done, and it seems more like criticizing it than giving information, which itself seems to fit under YMMV (which this trope still is not).

The Governor/"Brian" and Megan play a game of chess while he discusses good and evil people with her. In flashback, Martinez helps Megan and The Governor out of his pit, and then tells them about a nearby camp that had been set up in the interim. Martinez tells "Brian" that they can join if they pull their weight and contribute.
In the present, Megan asks "Brian" if they and her family are good people, but he doesn't answer. As he walks away, it's revealed that he now has a tank.
The Governor is examining a hole in their RV in the camp when Lilly warmly greets him. After she tells him that she wants to set up a nurse's station in the camp, The Governor mentions that he's going out for a supply run with Martinez and the Dolgen brothers, Mitch and Pete.
Later that afternoon, the four men walk through the forest, and Mitch wonders aloud if "Brian" can make the cut in their camp. As they walk, The Governor spies something and moves to investigate, only to discover a headless body with the word "LIAR" written on a sign on top of it. The group is sufficiently spooked, but continues on to their destination - an isolated house which hasn't been raided yet.
Inside, they discover more headless corpses and a man who shot himself in the head, before discovering the man's undead family. They manage to secure the house, and take up shelter for the night. There, the four men trade stories of what they did before the apocalypse, although The Governor provides little information.
Back at camp, Tara is pleasantly surprised to discover a woman she likes, Alisha, and they walk off together. Soon after, Martinez goes to The Governor's trailer and asks if he'd like to play some golf.
Later, The Governor and Martinez are hitting balls off an RV near the walker pit. Martinez tells him that Shumpert was irrevocably changed after the Woodbury massacre, and ended up being bit and put down by Martinez some time after. As Martinez moves to ready his swing, The Governor strikes him in the back of the head with his club. After telling him that he'll do whatever it takes to protect the camp, he throws Martinez off the RV and drags him to the walker pit, letting the walkers in it consume his former lieutenant.
Mitch and Pete hold a camp meeting afterwards and tell everyone that they believe Martinez was drunk and fell into the pit, not knowing the true circumstances behind the event. Pete opts to be the leader of the group, despite Tara's concerns, and asks his brother and "Brian" to go on another supply run.
During the run, the three men come across a smaller camp with a dozen civilians. Although The Governor and Mitch think they can assault the camp and take the supplies without loss of life, Pete proclaims that it's not worth it, and walks off. They follow him and try to sway his position, but when they return to the camp to scope it out again, they discover that the fence is broken, everyone has been shot and their supplies are gone.
Later, The Governor, incensed at what's happened, tells Lilly and Megan to pack their things. Along with Tara and Alisha, they try to flee the camp in the middle of the night, only to reconsider when they find a swamp filled with walkers. The next day, The Governor goes to Pete's RV and asks to speak with him, only to stab him and then choke him to death. He then goes to Mitch's RV and holds him at gunpoint. The Governor tells him what happened to Pete, and that both of them are the only ones who know what to do in any situation.
Afterwards, The Governor announces that he will assume leadership of the camp, and has the civilians pull together their vehicles and build makeshift barbed fences to act as a barrier.
The next day, The Governor expresses hope to Lilly that they will be able to fortify the camp and keep everyone safe, while Megan plays a game of hide-and-seek with Tara. However, as Megan looks for Tara, she runs headlong into a walker that has wandered into the camp. It chases her and attempts to grab her as she hides under a vehicle. Tara attempts to drag the walker off, but her efforts are futile as the walker's flesh is ripped off. Suddenly, the walker is killed by The Governor, saving Megan and leaving everyone else stunned at what's happened.
