Season three begins in spring, with the group scavenging a house in an unknown Georgia town. They are low on food, tired, and have constantly been on the run since Day 83 of the Global Outbreak. It was autumn at the end of season two, and the group survived the winter moving house-to-house, living off whatever food they could hunt or scavenge, and "going in circles," as pointed out by T-Dog. (s3 ep1) The group leaves the house after stopping to eat lunch (an owl, a jar of peanut butter, and packets of mustard - Rick won't allow Carl to eat the cans of dog food he's found in the house's cupboards) when more walkers show up. They decide they'll circle back to a town they've picked through already, before heading west via Newnan, Georgia, to avoid the Herd - which is at least 150 strong by now. T-Dog and the women wash their clothes and collect water while Daryl and Rick go to hunt. Instead, they find a prison complex and Rick formulates a plan to "take the field by nightfall." The group is extremely successful and they celebrate with a campfire sing-along, but Rick tells them tomorrow they'll have to get inside the prison where there should be food and medicine, and maybe even a loaded armory. (s3 ep1) Lori is overdue to give birth; at least 270 days have passed since the pregnancy was conceived (s3 ep2). When speaking to Carol while taking watch in the field that night, Daryl refers to the baby as "Little Shane," (s3 ep1) indicating that the baby was conceived at some point before Rick was reunited with his family on Day 61, and the group is aware of this. The baby is potentially one of the reasons that Rick and Lori are barely speaking, coupled with their combined guilt over Shane's death.

Rick, Daryl, T-Dog, Glenn, and Maggie battle walkers beyond the fence gates in an attempt to clear the prison and get inside. They encounter walkers in riot gear. It makes them much harder to kill because the survivors have to get close enough to pull the riot masks off. The group successfully gets inside the prison, where they find a dead security guard and take his keys. They find a secure cell block and the group moves in. Rick and Lori can hardly look at each other, and Lori tearfully tells Hershel that she knows Rick and Carl hate her. (s3 ep1) Lori also tells Hershel that she hasn't felt the baby kick and she's worried that it's stillborn and will reanimate inside her and tear her apart. She also worries that she may die in childbirth, as many women did before the advent of modern medicine, and asks Hershel to shoot her immediately if she dies and then reanimates. (s3 ep1)

Elsewhere, Andrea is deathly ill and being cared for by Michonne in a deer locker, located in a small town overrun with walkers. Michonne knows they need to leave the area, but she wants to wait until Andrea is better.
