The episode starts off running, trying desperately to save Herschel. What an amazing scene. The emotion on everyone's faces when they see is indescribable. You really feel the shock and desperation when Rick and Daryl have to tell the inmates the world as they knew it has ended.
Wow. Don't have a pissing contest with Rick--you will lose! That was probably one of the best scenes in the series, simply oozing with tension. Something as simple as Daryl telling the white inmate he's sorry about his friends really shows his character and how perhaps he's the one still the most in touch with humanity juxtaposed to Rick who seems to have adopted the policy 'the end justifies the means'.
So much palpable tension in this ep as they have to secure Herschel just in case. I loved seeing the growth of Carol's character, deciding what needs to be done and finding a way. I would say that Herschel's injury was the catalyst she needed to see she has to adopt a stronger role for the group, perhaps redefining her place. It gets even more tense when you see someone is watching them from afar.
It is supremely clear by the end Rick still needs Herschel--the moral center, his conscious. Some definite foreshadowing in the end as Rick continues to avoid the elephant in the room.
