The group decide the fate of Randall while Carl shows signs of troubling behaviour.
This is an engrossing episode with some great character exchanges and moral debate.
The plot hinges on a dilemma faced by the group over what to do with Randall. A bit more about his background is revealed that raises the stakes of the situation to make the inevitable decision feel like one with massive implications.
I enjoyed this episode more than any so far in the second series. There is a strong portrayal of what becomes of a society after the collapse of its social constructions. We have seen survival take priority, people revert to primal states, and leadership roles established. This episode depicts Rick contemplating a tough decision and Dale fighting to save what's left of the group's humanity.
What I found it does well is ask the audience the question of what we would do in that position. It seems that Dale is an idealist in denial of what humanity really is, but what complicates matters is the ever observing presence of Carl. Yes, one action would more likely ensure Carl's survival, but what effect would it have on the person he becomes.
All the acting is excellent from the cast, particularly Jeffrey DeMunn and Michael Zegan.
Visually it is excellent, with some great landscapes around the countryside and solid storytelling with the camera throughout. The zombie effects are suitably creepy as always.
For me it's an 8.5/10 but I round upwards.
