Rick and Carl are standing near the fence overlooking the remains of the Governor's assault on the prison.

Rick looks at Carl with a smile;
"It's over, we can finally start again here, lead normal lives or as normal as possible. We can rebuild the outer fences, make this place more secure then it was, we have plenty of people here to help make it possible."

"Why did you bring THEM here! They lived in Woodbury with the governor, we can't trust them, they're not like us"

"Carl, the governor left these people behind, left them to starve, to fend for them themselves. He left them to die! They're nothing like him he was an evil, sadistic man who killed most of his people because they were scared. We have more children here now you'll make friends have as normal life as possible. You can finally be a child again."

"You don't understand do you? It's NEVER going back to normal, we'll never have normal lives again!"

Opening credits roll:

Michonne and Glenn walk over towards Rick, Carl walks back to the cell block.

"Rick, remember when we went to kings county to get those guns, we found your old friend Morgan, do you think he'd like to come here, with us?"

"Michonne you sure that's a good idea, didn't you say when you came back he was crazy, tried to kill you?" - asked Glenn

"He's not crazy, he's son had died, became a walker. He was going through a lot, hell we all are."

"So what do you think? Shall we bring him here?"

"I think he'll like it here, and the more people the better, I'll gather up a small group 4 maybe 5 of us and we'll leave first thing tomorrow."

Hershel is seen in the prison cafeteria with some of the older people who came from Woodbury, having introductions with them.

"I'm glad there are some people my age here now, I'm sorry if I haven't had the chance to introduce my self yet my names hershel."

"Nice to meet you hershel and don't worry about it, there's a lot of us here now it's not easy to remember everybody's name. Anyway my names Tony, this is Louise and Samuel."

"I'm pleased to meet you all, have you been given the grand tour by carol and maggie yet?"

"Not yet they're gathering us all up in about 5 minutes to show us around."

Tony, Samuel and Louise get up and start to walk away towards the courtyard, Louise stops and looks at hershel affectionately, they both smile at each other, Louise walks away blushing.

*first commercial break*

Rick, Tyresse and sasha (among others) are seen walking through the fields clearing out the corpses

"Hey Tyresse, sasha could you come here please I'd like to speak to you both."

Tyresse and sasha look at each other confused cautiously walking over to rick.

"What's up rick. Something the matter."

"No, nothing's wrong guys, look I just wanted to apolagise to you both, for before y'know. The last time you guys were here I freaked you out, I've gotta say I meant nothing by it and I apolagise for it, my wife she had just given birth and she... Well she y'know."

"Hey man, think nothing of it were just glad you've let us... All of us live here were all extremely great full for it. And for what it's worth, sorry to hear about your wife. Lori, was it?"

"Yeah" - says rick in a hushed, emotional tone.

Back inside the prison michonne is seen sitting in her cell looking at the cat she and Carl had retrieved back at kings county, when daryl approaches her.

"You okay 'chonne? You haven't been the same since we got back here, you've distanced yourself from us more then you usually do."

Michonne looks at Daryl with a look of clear emotional pain on her face.

"Fine! What about you?"

"I've been better, just different, more different then normal y'know?"

"Yeah, hey Daryl..."

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry about merle"

"I'm sorry about andrea, she was a good girl."

Beth and Carl are in one of the cells feeding baby Judith .

"She's getting big now, isn't she?" - says Beth

"Yeah, before we know it she'll be killing walkers herself" - Carl replies

(They both laugh) "she looks like mom"

"She does, she has her eyes."

Carl looks at Beth and leans in to kiss her, when carol and maggie walk past with the group they brought from Woodbury.

"Hmm hmm*" coughs maggie. "And what do you two think your doing?"

"Err we were just feeding the baby."

"That's not what it looked like to me." (Maggie smirks)

Beth takes Judith and leaves the cell, Carl gets up to follow but maggie stops him so she can talk to him.

"Carl, that's my sister"

"I know"

"Then you should know she's older then you"

"I know that to, but I really like her and you and Glenn are together so why can't me and Beth?"

"Look Carl, me and Glenn are the same age and we love each other we're getting married, I'm just looking out for Beth after all she is my sister, but for what its worth I think you two suit each other."

*2nd commercial break*

Glenn and maggie are in one of the guard towers over looking the sunset, talking about their up coming wedding and what maggie saw happen between Carl and Beth

"So what's going to happen with our wedding? asks maggie"

"I don't know, do we set a date and have a proper wedding or do we just say we're now married, I mean its not like we have a priest or anybody to make it official."

"I'd like for my dad o do it, I think it would be nice, he's the clocks thing we got to a priest and he's the most religious person here so he can do it."

"I'd like that."

"I saw something today, something I can't get my head around"

"What's that?"

"Beth and Carl were about to kiss or all ready had kissed, when we was doing the our we walked past the cell hey were in and they were leaning in for the kiss. There is such a big age gap, I mean Beth is 18 and calls only 13, to be honest it's kinda weird."

"Even in this world?"

"That's what I can't get my head around. I mean, everything's changed what used to be morally wrong is now ok to do its necessary, so is it ok for Beth and Carl to be together?"

"The worlds changed maggie, I don't know if its all right or not."

Glenn looks at maggie and hugs her kissing her head

As the residents are getting ready to call it a night and go to sleep rick goes to the individual cells for; Daryl, Michonne, Tyresse, hershel and Glenn saying he needs to talk to them.

"So when we went to kings count a few weeks so to get the guns needed to defend this place we ran into they man I meet when I first woke up from my coma, Morgan, he was still alive as of a few weeks ago, michonne and Glenn suggested to me earlier today we o bak bring him here and find what supplies are left. I agree and said I'd gather a small group and we'd leave in he morning. hershel I'd appreciate it if you stayed back here and let them know when people come asking where we are."

"Sure rick no problem."

"I just wanted to know if the rest of you were up for it?"

"I'm in brother" - says Daryl

"You know me and Glenn are all ready willing to do this"

"You can count me in rick" says Tyreese

"Good, well take two cars cause hopefully morgan will be with us and we'll have more supplies. Well head out first thing in the morning, now everybody should get some sleep."

*final commercial break*

"We see the sun rise in the background and the group which consist of; rick, daryl, Tyresse, Glenn and michonne ready to leave to find morgan, the group get in the cars and hit the road.
Back at the prison everybody Is awakening to quickly notice the missing group. Hershel gathers everybody to the cafeteria to explain to them what the missing group are doing.

"Where is my dad?" asks Carl

"Calm down everybody, rick came to me yesterday afternoon telling me what he planned on doing, he's taken a small group back to kings county to find he's friend, Morgan I believe he's name was. He didn't tell everybody because he didn't want everybody to worry about them, I can assure you they will all be back by the end of the day if not then tomorrow.
Now everybody please just relax and let's eat breakfast."

"Hershel, why wouldn't he tell me he's going back home, to get morgan? I went before and I was fine, I can take care of myself so why didn't he even tell me?"

"Like I said Carl he didn't want people to worry, including you. He knows you can take care of yourself but he also realises that now we have more people here that more able bodied people are ping to need to stay here to protect the prison from walkers and other groups that could be a threat."

Carl walks away towards his cell, Louise walks over to eat her breakfast with hershel

"I guess with rick and the others gone that your in charge?huh?"

" I wouldn't say I'm in charge, I'm just the one rick told so that people wouldn't freak out. He rely's on me for things like that, to keep the piece here when he's not around."

"Well I thinks that's very kind of you hershel, I think you'd make a great leader."

Rick and the other are just on the outside of kings county, they get out of their cars and walk the rest of the way.

"All right people, I don't want to be here any longer then we need to, if we're gone o long people will start worrying about us being gone for so long."

"Agreed, I say we get in split up into two groups, one group looks for Morgan and the other looks for supplies to bring back."

"Good idea Glenn. Okay me and Tyresse will look for Morgan, michonne you Glenn and daryl will go looking for supplies, once were done well meet back at the cars and get home."

As the group approaches the street to where they last saw morgan a group of 80+ walkers surround the area keeping the group from progressing any further.
