2x10: 18 Miles Out
This episode is good. It remains the same up until the point of Andrea and Lori’s argument over Beth being able to choose if she should be able to kill herself or not. Their argument at first does not change, but when Andrea offers to watch over Beth she does not abandon the room and allow Beth to cut herself, instead Jacqui asks Andrea for help cleaning some clothes. Hesitant, Andrea asks Beth to be a good girl and goes to help Jacqui. In this time is when Beth locks herself in the bathroom and cuts herself. Maggie gets mad at Andrea like in the show, but Andrea apologizes and says that Jacqui requested her help. This does not help Maggie’s anger at the moment, but it stops her from being angry later on.
Other than that, like I said, this episode is good so that’s the only thing that changes.
2x11: Judge, Jury, Executioner
The episode remains the same mostly. Rick, Shane, and Morales agree on killing Randall as he is a threat to the group. Dale is vehemently against the killing, as is Jacqui, Andrea seems to sway to the side of killing him, and Daryl states that he does not care and he’s fine ether way. Lori says to Rick that she agrees with whatever he chooses, while Hershel tells Dale that it’s up to Rick. Morgan tells Dale he is not picking sides, and assesses that Randall is a threat, but he won’t be part of choosing whether someone lives or dies, so he’s sitting it out.
In the woods, Carl ends up shooting and killing the walker he had been throwing rocks at. The gunshot is heard by Daryl, who heads into the woods and finds Carl. He’s impressed with the resilience of the boy, and allows Carl to keep the gun he had taken from Daryl’s bike. He tells him not to sneak around and get into danger like he had done, because one time he “might not get so lucky” and get bit or worse. Carl agrees to Daryl’s words and heads back to the farm.
Later, during a group meeting, Dale says that him, Jacqui, and Glenn are the only ones who agree on sparing Randall, but Glenn actually tells Dale that he sides with Rick because Randall isn’t one of them. Dale then gives a speech on hope and humanity, and how if they kill Randall they’re saying there’s no hope. T-Dog seems to be moved by Dale’s speech, but he doesn’t side with him. Andrea eventually chooses Dale’s side.
The rest of the episode remains the same, with Rick ending up refusing to kill Randall because Carl supports it, horrifying him and angering Shane. What does change, though, is Dale never dies because Carl killed the walker in the woods.
2x12: Better Angels
There is no funeral in this episode because Dale does not die. The group still are big on working together, though, because Dale was right. The group is broken.
The rest of the episode is the same, except Morales and Morgan go and help to track down Randall, splitting up into three groups (Rick and Shane/Glenn and Daryl/Morgan and Morales).
This was an amazing episode, one of the best of the series. I would love to explore a what if on if Shane survived and remained with Rick’s group, but that’s a project for another day. His death is necessary in the story I want to craft for my “rewrite” because it progresses Rick and Carl as characters severely. His death is also honestly the turn from the survivors being just a group to being a “family.”
2x13: Beside The Dying Fire
The episode remains almost exactly the same, just some minor changes due to the cast still in the story.
Jimmy still gets devoured in the RV while saving Rick and Carl. Patricia is then devoured after getting bit while holding onto Beth’s hand. A walker falls on Andrea and she is assumed dead, and Jacqui gets bitten on her shoulder trying to escape, horrifying T-Dog.
The groups that end up together escaping the farm are as follows:
-Rick, Carl, and Hershel -Lori, Beth, T-Dog, and Jacqui -Maggie, Glenn, and Dale -Morgan, Morales, Duane, Sophia, and Louis -Daryl and Carol -Andrea
The rest of the episode plays out the same, but when everyone meets back up on the Highway, Jacqui doesn’t have much time left. She hugs and says goodbye to everyone in a scene reminiscent to Andrea in season 3, and she tells T-Dog a very vital piece of advice: “Don’t ever lose sight of yourself.” Before being put down by T-Dog.
Lori still gets mad at Rick for allowing Carl to kill Shane, and the infamous “this isn’t a democracy” line still happens. There’s no pan up to see the prison in the distance because I just don’t think it makes sense. Going into season 3, how would the group have never seen the prison yet been on the road through the entire winter. It also wouldn’t make sense because why would they stay so close to the farm when they already know that area is dry.
