The show starts with Rick running through a field with Carl in his arms. He is closely followed by Shane and a fat hunter. They are heading to the house the hunter is staying in ,where someone named Hershel is suppose to be able to get the bullet outta Carl.
Cut to a flashback,it is the day that Rick was shot. And we see Lori waiting for Carl to get out of school. Shane shows up and tells Lori what has happened. Shane says it is his fault. Then Carl comes out of the school and Lori goes and tells him that his father has been shot.
Rick and the rest make it to this house. They tell Hershel that Otis,the fat hunter guy,has sent him. Hershel takes them to a back room and has the women there get all his medical supplies. He ask what blood type Carl is. Rick tells him that him and Carl are the same blood type.So one of the ladies starts to draw some blood from Rick.
Back in the woods Lori,Glen,Daryl,Andrea and the other lady are still looking for Sophie. It will be getting dark soon,so they all agree to head back to the RV.Then the next day they will come back looking for Sophie. Lori is worried cause they heard a gunshot,and they haven't seen Rick,Carl or Shane in sometime.
Back at the RV,Dale and T-dawg are busy getting spare parts and stuff outta all the abandoned cars. Dale ask T-dawg how he is doing. T seems to ignore him,so Dale comes over and confronts him about this. Dale ask to look at T's injured arm. He sees that T has a massive infection and tells him they need to find some antibotics soon. So they start lookin through every car for any kind of antibotic they can find. T is searching in one car's glove box when he discovers a bottle of pills and what I have to assume is a joint. He lights up the joint,then happens to glance into the backseat. He sees a babyseat covered with blood,guts and what looks like brains. This freaks him out and he quickly leaves the car.
Back at the farm house Hershel is busy checking out Carl's wound. It seems the bullet has broke into 6 fragments. He manages to get one out. But he tells Rick that the rest are way deeper plus Carl has some internal bleeding. Plus he doesn't have all the equipment he needs to do what needs to be done to save Carl.Otis says that the FEMA shelter set up at a nearby high school should have everything they need. So Otis and Shane head off to get it. Rick wants to leave to go get Lori,but Hershel tells him he is gonna need to get more blood from Rick for Carl. So one of Hershel's daughters heads off to go find Lori.
Dale walks up to see T-dawg sitting in the shade by the RV. He ask if T found anything,to which T replies that he found a bottle of ibuprofren and the joint. T starts talking about how with him being the only black guy he is sure the group will abandon him soon. Dale goes to feel T's forehead and sees he is burning up with fever. He gives T some of the pills and tells him to settle down and try to relax.
The group out in the woods is almost back to the RV,when a zombie comes outta nowhere and tackles Andrea to the ground. It looks like she is a goner,but we see someone quickly heading their way on a horse. It is Hershel's daughter who hits the zombie in the head with a baseball bat. She ask which one is Lori and explains to her what has happened. Lori jumps on the horse and is getting ready to head to the farm with her. The daughter tells the rest of them how to get to the farm using the roads. And Lori and her head off.
The rest of the group arrive back at the RV and tell T and Dale what has happened. They all decide to stay the night. They are gonna put up a big sign telling Sophie,if she shows back up there,where they are heading. The group ask Dale how T is doing. Dale tells them that without some antibotics T will die soon. Daryl surprises everyone when he goes to his motorcycle sidebag and pulls out a huge bag of various prescription bottles. It seems this is Merle's stash. He gets out some pain killers and some antibiotics. It seems Merle got the clap a bunch so he always kept some antibiotics around.
Lori gets to the farm house. Goes to see Carl. She starts asking Hershel if he has done a surgery like this before. And he tells her has kind of. Turns out Hershel is veterinarian. He tells them that Shane and Otis need to come back as quick as they can.
Otis and Shane get to the high school. Only to see that the Fema medical trailer is surrounded by a shitpile of zombies. So Shane thinks of a quick plan. He gets some road flares out of the trunk of a cop car. So the two of them light up the flares and throw them way away from the medical trailer. This causes the zombies to head away from the trailer. So the two guys sneak into it. They find all the stuff they need and are sneaking back out. When the zombie notice them and start chasing them. Shane and Otis get cornered,and Shane uses his shotgun to blow the glass outta two locked doors. They dash inside ,and Shane pulls a secruity gate shut. And we leave the scene with the two of them trapped with only a flimsy looking gate between them and a bunch of angry zombies.
This was a great building up episode. It sets into motion the stuff so that next weeks episode will be jammed packed with action. I liked the flashback,which wasn't in the comic. Plus the ending is a perfect cliffhanger. Making it so you can't wait on next weeks episode. The Walking Dead season 02 episode 02 gets a B+.
