History Recap / TheWalkingDeadS03E02Sick

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Right after the scene where Andrew is locked outside by Rick, an unseen individual (in a POVCam) is seen watching Carol from behind a tree as she practices on a female corpse. This individual is never seen again, and there is never any apparent connection made in any of the following episodes.
** This is implied to be [[spoiler: Andrew, who we learn in ""Killer Within Me" is not dead.]]

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Carl mentioned that he gunned down plenty of walkers in the infirmary to get medical supplies for Hershel.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The individual who is watching Carol from the woods is never identified or seen, and they haven't been mentioned since. Notable in that this is ''not'' Andrew, who was left in the inner courtyard just a couple minutes prior.

Rick stands outside on a catwalk when Lori comes to visit him. She says that it was a good day, and Rick admits that she isn't a bad mother and that the group is grateful to her for saving Hershel's life. He touches her on the shoulder, but before anything is said he turns and walks away.

* IronicEcho: "Shit happens." First delivered by Tomas to Rick, then from Rick to Tomas just before he chops the latter's head in with a machete.

* MuggingTheMonster: Tomas clearly despises Rick and tries to kill him, despite the latter having cleared out in excess of ''50 walkers'' with his group before meeting the prisoners, scoffs at his ineffective riot tactics and clearly won't back down from a fight. For his part, Tomas gets a machete to the head after crossing Rick one too many times.
* NobodyPoops: Averted. Rick discovers where the prisoners have been relieving themselves for the last 10 months.

* ScreamDiscretionShot: Rick listening as Andrew screams behind the door. Later turns out to be a subversion.

Another prisoner, Andrew, tries to attack Rick but ends up fleeing. Rick pursues him while Daryl and T-Dog stay with the two remaining prisoners. Rick chases Andrew into an enclosed yard containing several walkers, then locks the door and walks away while Andrews screams are heard from outside.

Back in Cell Block C, Carol enlists Glenn's help in securing a female walker. She explains that she will need medical expertise if Hershel doesn't recover and Lori goes into labor. Glenn distracts the walkers while Carol captures one of the walkers and practices performing a c-section on it. Her actions are watched by an unseen observer in the woods. Inside, the rest of the group is administering to Hershel, when he stops breathing. Lori successfully manages to administer CPR and revives him.

After amputating Hershel's leg in the [[Recap/TheWalkingDeadS03E01Seed previous episode]], Rick and Maggie rush Hershel back to Cell Block C, while Daryl and T-Dog keep the prisoners at bay. The prisoners, explain that they were locked in the cafeteria by a prison guard when riots broke out, and have been there for nearly ten months. The leader of the prisoners is named Tomas and he carries a revolver left with him by the prison guard. He and Daryl get into a standoff before Rick comes back and defuses the situation.

The prisoners follow Rick outside, and are shocked to find that the group has killed over fifty walkers. Tomas demands that he and the other prisoners be given access to Cell Block C, reasoning that the prison belonged to them before the others arrived. Rick refuses, and a prisoner named Axel negotiates a compromise whereby Rick's group is to clear another cell block in exchange for half of the prison's food supplies, and the two factions will live in separate blocks. Rick's group moves their share of the food back to C Block, then begins to teach the prisoners how to engage and dispatch the walkers. Rick and the others look on in bemused disbelief as Tomas and the prisoners try to apply prison-style riot tactics to the undead.

During the ensuing clearing, one of the prisoners, Big Tiny, sustains deep scratches. The group explain to the prisoners that infections from walkers are fatal and he will eventually turn. As they debate what to do about him, Tomas suddenly attacks and kills Tiny. Tomas' utter lack of compassion or remorse unnerves Rick and the others.

In Cell Block C, Glenn, Maggie and Beth are trying to stabilize Hershel's condition when Carl shows up with supplies from the prison's infirmary. When he tells them he killed two walkers while securing the supplies, Lori questions his behavior, but Carl is defiant, and she is forced to thank him for his act of heroism.

As Rick's group and the prisoners move through the cell block, Rick tells Daryl they should kill Tomas if he makes a single wrong move. During one of the battles, Tomas' failure to obey Rick's commands exposes the group to a dangerously large group of walkers. In the ensuing fight, Tomas takes a swing at Rick, then shoves a walker toward him. After the walkers are cleared, Rick confronts Tomas. Tomas claims it was an accident, but Rick doesn't buy it and opens Tomas' skull with a machete.

Another prisoner, Andrew, tries to attack Rick but ends up fleeing. Rick pursues him while Daryl and T-Dog stay with the two remaining prisoners. Rick chases Andrew out into an enclosed yard containing several walkers. Andrew's screams are heard as Rick locks the door and walks away.

Rick returns to the remaining prisoners, and threatens to kill them for their association with Tomas. Axel begs that he and Oscar aren't violent like that, while Oscar refuses to beg. Rick lets them go, and gives them the now-cleared cell block to live in. Rick and the others return to Cell Block C and are relieved to discover that Hershel has pulled through.
