The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 311 Online

Last week’s episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead pulled off an unexpected and blatantly deliberate case of “bait and switch.” What seemed like a docile filler episode laced with character exposition erupted – literally – into a bloody firefight that set the stage for more fireworks between the prison and Woodbury to come.

Rick (Andrew Lincoln) has been wandering the prison’s outskirts in search of ghost Lori where he hopes to find some sort of resolution, peace, direction, or all of the above. In doing so, he’s let Hershel in on his mental state of mind and lit a fuse that could result in the rest of the group ousting him from power, much in the same way Rick once wanted to oust Shane for also “losing his mind and humanity.”


While Rick’s mind slips further away, Merle (Michael Rooker) and the Governor’s (David Morrissey) brutal interrogation have awoken a sleeping beast within Glenn (Steven Yeun). No longer content with being the kind and soft spoken member of the group, Glenn proposes he and Michonne attack Woodbury and kill the Governor once and for all. He doesn’t seem to care whether Rick approves of his taking charge or not.

Glenn was away on some sort of person (scouting?) mission when the Governor and a couple of his goons launched a surprise attack on the prison to both test its defenses and show a sign of force and power. The attack worked, killing Axel and leaving Rick and his group feeling separated and extremely vulnerable. In fact, if not for the return of Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Merle, Rick would have been a goner having been cornered by zombies against the prison fence.

The attack left the outer grassy area of the prison full of zombies and Rick’s group split between the outside and inner confines of the compound. It will take clearing out many zombies for Rick, Michonne, Merle and Daryl to get back to where Carl, Hershel and the rest of the group are hold up. While they worry about that, the Governor will have to explain his actions to increasingly suspicious Andrea (Laurie Holden) and hope she doesn’t defect.
