Plot Synopsis
Edit
Martinez is guarding the Woodbury fences. A survivor comes to tell him that The Governor wants to see him. Martinez wonders what it could be and leaves, leaving the man to guard the fences.
In the hospital, Rick's bandage is being changed by Dr. Stevens. He asks if he has to stay in that room, and Dr. Stevens recommends that, he has a bad injury which can still be infected. Rick asks if it is possible to escape, Dr. Stevens says he wouldn't try to stop him, but the guards are watching all of the doors constantly.
Suddenly, an arena fighter named Harold comes in. He needs to be patched up, and asks Rick if he's coming to watch. Rick says he's not, and Harold says he's going to be missing one hell of a show. Another arena fighter named Eugene arrives and asks angrily where Harold is. Harold had knocked out Eugene's teeth earlier. Harold tries apologizing and says that Eugene's getting a rematch. Eugene says "sorry isn't going to cover it" and stabs him in the neck. Harold is bleeding profusely and Dr. Stevens needs Rick's help to get him to the bed. Eugene leaves, and Harold bleeds to death.
After Harold's death, The Governor talks to Michonne. He needs a replacement, and wants it to be her. Bruce Cooper gives her katana back. The Governor says that the crowd doesn't like it if a male has an advantage over a female and says that this would give her the upper hand. He adds that Eugene might kill her, but he doesn't want her to kill him. The Governor tells Michonne that she'll get a full week of rest, along with food and possibly a chair or bed to rest in. The Governor gives her twenty minutes to decide.
At the hospital, Martinez shows up. He sees Rick's hand in shock, and asks who did that to him. Rick tries to attack him and says Martinez handed him to that psycho. Dr. Stevens forces them apart and leads Martinez to the door. Martinez says that The Governor wants to make sure Dr. Stevens is happy. Dr. Stevens replies with, "Does he now?"
The Woodbury people are preparing for the fight of Eugene and Michonne. The Governor is especially excited for the fight. The fight begins. Michonne swiftly kicks Eugene in the groin and then cuts his head off. The Governor is furious and says he's going to kill her. She starts cutting zombies heads off and Gabe knocks Michonne to the ground. The Governor goes inside and Gabe and Bruce assure him that Michonne is locked up, but that it wasn't easy. The Governor takes Michonne's katana from Bruce and is contemplating whether or not he should go in that room and kill her.
Back at hospital, Dr. Stevens needs to rest and goes home. Alice is left to watch Rick, and he asks if her and Dr. Stevens are in a relationship. Alice says no, that she's single. Rick tells her that he has a wife, and Alice talks about how she started to learn more about medicine. Lastly, Rick mentions his wife is pregnant. Alice doesn't have time to say anything because Martinez then comes in and tells Rick that he's going to help him escape.
