Mr. He: The Walking Dead: S1E5 Wildfire

S1E5: Wildfire

Summary

The survivors are cleaning up the camp by burning the fallen walkers. While the rest of the dead get a pick axe through the skull, Andrea is still mourning over her dead sister Amy. She refuses to let anyone near her and threatens Rick when he offered to help her. Amy reanimates and Andrea shoots her in the head. They also find out another one of their crew got bitten and they debate on what to do with him. Rick suggests they move out and into the CDC, where there is supposed to be medical research on the disease and shelter. Rick and Shane have a long argument about it, stating it is a big gamble to move everyone out of the woods. However, with limited food supply, they head for the CDC. Inside the CDC, we are shown a single scientist still doing experiments. However, an accident destroys his only specimen and he gives up. Rick and the rest of the survivors make it to the CDC and finds nothing but dead bodies. When the group prepares to leave thinking the building is empty, Rick notices the cameras moving and begs for his group to be allowed in. The doors open as the group of survivors look on astonished.

Thoughts
The beginning half of the episode was emotionally intense. We see Andrea holding Amy's corpse the entire time and we wonder whether or not she was going to take care of the matter or commit suicide because of her sister's death. By letting her sister reanimate into a walker, she put everyone else in danger. It was really heart breaking to see Amy wake up again only to get her brains blown out. Another interesting thing that happened was Shane's shady moves. Rick and Shane went out into the woods to have their argument and while Rick was looking for something in the bushes, Shane had a deranged look on his face and held the shotgun toward Rick's back. We all know that Shane banged Rick's wife and one has to wonder how this will get resolved. This might be a foreshadowing of Shane trying to kill Rick when he gets the chance.
