The Walking Dead Mid-Season 4 Premier Recap: Top 10 Highlights You Need to Know (SPOILER ALERT)

For everything that went down on the mid-season 4 premier episode of The Walking Dead, check out our list of the most standout moments and revelations below!


1. Michonne “Recruited” Two New Zombies

The opening scenes revealed the prison being overtaken by zombies. The tank was covered with the undead, the horses were eaten alive and all of the crops burned to nothingness. Michonne made her way through the carnage and found herself opposite two raging zombies. She cut off their arms and jaws, then proceeded to replace the two zombies she traveled with before. Hershel’s head was also spotted as it transformed into a zombie. Thankfully, Michonne put it out of its misery…


2. Rick and Carl Are on Their Own

Rick and Carl went on their own as they covered the roads that lay beyond the prison. Carl seemed to develop an attitude towards his father, since he could be seen ignoring Rick and not heeding to any of his commands. They entered a bar and got rid of the walker inside and afterwards they came upon a large home. Carl and Rick got into another verbal altercation when Carl cussed loudly in order to prove that there were no zombies listening and lying in wait. Once nightfall hit, Carl and Rick argued over blocking the door with a couch and eating something before heading to bed. Carl shot back at Rick with a discouraging comment that brought up a name Rick could never forget – Shane.


3. Michonne’s Nightmare Revealed Her Past Friends and Family

One scene showed Michonne and two other men as they conversed inside a beautiful kitchen. Both men had a conversation about their current predicament as Michonne used her blade to cut up some grub for the both of them. A baby entered the scene, which may have been Michonne’s. This heartwarming scene turned ugly in an instant when both men were suddenly dead and limbless. Michonne’s happy demeanor quickly disappeared as she screamed in horror. Michonne soon woke up from this horrible nightmare.


4. Carl’s Resourcefulness Almost Cost Him His Life

Carl woke up to find his father lying on a couch. Rick seemed unresponsive, which caused Carl to yell for him to wake up. His yelling caught the attention of two zombies outside the door, which was blocked by the couch Rick and Carl placed there in order to keep any zombies from getting in. Carl headed outside to lure the zombies away, but he was soon facing off with more than two of them. He downed all of them with his handgun bullets and got away in one piece.


5. Carl Saved His Father’s Life, But He Let Him Know How He Truly Felt

Carl returned to the house that him and Rick took refuge in. Rick still lied on the couch in a nearly deceased state. Carl finally let all of his emotions about everything that has transpired thus far be known. He yelled at Rick about all the people that he couldn’t protect. Carol also screamed at Rick for hiding behind the new role of a farmer, which Carl felt wasn’t enough to keep everyone safe. Carl left Rick to die as he went on his own.

6. Carl Came Upon A New Home to Take Refuge In

Carl walked a few miles ahead and soon came upon a new home. He made his way in and located some food (in particular, he copped a huge can of chocolate pudding). Carl soon made his way up to the 2nd floor of his new home, but was met by a lone zombie that was locked in the bathroom. Carl came close to becoming a zombie victim, but he managed to trap it inside a room. With a piece of chalk in hand, Carl put a notice on the door. The message alluded to Carl almost getting bit and escaping with one show less than before. Carl cracked a smile about his close call and celebrated by eating some chocolate pudding on the roof of his new home.


7. Michonne Went on A Zombie Killing Rampage

Michonne and her two walkers were traveling along with a pack of zombies. Once Michonne snapped, she cut down her two walkers and used her blade to get rid of all the other zombies that surrounded her. Her mental breakdown could be seen occurring as she went into a violent rage and attacked everything around her.


8. Carl Returned to His Father’s Side

After Carl’s close call with a zombie, Carl returned to the house that Rick was left in. Rick awoke, but Carl mistook him for a zombie. Carl couldn’t bring himself to shoot this supposed zombified father of his. Eventually, Rick spoke and came back to his senses.


9. Michonne Located A Rib Shack and Collected Herself (and Her Thoughts)

Michonne journeyed further until she came upon a rib shack. Once she figured out that the coast was clear, she collapsed onto the floor and spoke about her past friends. A dead zombie lied on the ground in front of her with a note beside it that read, “Do what I couldn’t do.”


10. Michonne Reunited with Rick and Carl

After Carl and Rick settled their differences, Michonne could be seen coming upon a house. She spotted an empty can of chocolate pudding, which led to her peering into the house nearby. She soon spotted Rick and Carl. Michonne began to break down in tears, but she soon wiped away her tears and toughened herself back up. Michonne knocked on the door, which alarmed Car land Rick at first. Once Rick looked through the door, he laughed and told his son these words – “It’s for you.”
