There's some fallout from last week's attack, as you might expect. Rick and his group are bunkered down inside the prison, painfully integrating Merle into the group and living as though they're already under siege. The Governor is raising an army in Woodbury, drafting everyone capable of holding a weapon, including asthmatic teenagers. And Andrea…Oh, God, I just can't even with Andrea.
But I guess I have to. Having gotten wind of the Governor's attack on the prison (which he claims they started), Andrea decides she needs to go see her old friends to try to bring the two sides together. The Governor won't let her go, so she enlists help from Milton to help her sneak out. Of course he goes right to the Governor, who tells Milton to help Andrea, which he does. They go out and capture a walker for Andrea to use as a Michonne-style pet for the journey, and while they're doing that, they meet Tyreese and his group. Andrea proceeds to the prison, where her clean, blonde, fancy self gets a load of all her dirty, grieving, desperate ex-cohorts and decides she knows better than everyone else even more than usual. She tries to lecture them into sitting down with the Governor so they can all be friends, which gets the welcome you'd expect (and a richly deserved verbal smackdown from Michonne). So her self-appointed mission is a failure. But Carol gives her another one: go back to Woodbury, sex up the Governor and kill him in his sleep. Which would be awesome, so of course Andrea's not going to do it.
Also, Rick's getting pressure from inside the group (including Carl) to shape up or step down; Milton brings Tyreese's group to Woodbury, where they volunteer to help the Governor attack the prison with the inside knowledge they gained during their brief stay there; and Andrea ends up carrying out Carol's entire plan to the letter. Except for the Governor-killing part. Seriously, I can't even with her.
