Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe opening scene which showed a close up of Beth's (Emily Kinney) face while she opened her eyes was inspired by the scene from the pilot episode, Days Gone Bye (2010), in which Rick (Andrew Lincoln) essentially does the same thing.
- GoofsBeth has a new scar over her right forehead near the end of the episode after Dawn strikes her. However, Dawn clearly smacks the left side of Beth's face in the scene immediately prior.
- Quotes
[Dawn tells Beth the truth of what she see's in Beth]
Officer Dawn Lerner: Every sacrifice we make needs to be for the greater good. The second it isn't, the second we lose sight of that, it's all over. The thing is, you're not the greater good. You're not strong enough.
Beth Greene: I am strong.
Officer Dawn Lerner: How many people had to risk their lives to save you? In here, you are part of a system. The wards keep my officers happy. The happier my officers are, the harder they word to keep us going. And this hasn't been easy. There have been compromises, but it's working. And after they rescue us, we're gonna help put the world back together. Because we're the ones holding on. That's the good we're doing here. That's the good you're doing here. That makes you worth something. But out there... you are nothing. Except dead or somebody's burden.
Beth Greene: That's bullshit.
Officer Dawn Lerner: Oh, yeah? I saw this the night you came in.
[Dawn holds up Beth's arm revealing the cut on Beth's wrist]
Officer Dawn Lerner: Is this bullshit, too? Some people just aren't made for this life, and that's okay. As long as they don't take advantage of the one's who are.

First, the setup of this episode is extremely confusing. It begins, like many WD episodes, in the middle of the action. But the starting point they chose was so far from the beginning that it created an unnecessary amount of confusion, leading me to wonder, who are these characters? What's going on? Did I miss an episode? It kept throwing character after character at us as if we already knew who they were, how they related to the story and to each other. It was so bad, I actually had to stop Netflix to make sure I hadn't skipped an episode.
Second, Slabtown is an example of WD's own tropes starting to wear out their welcome and (dare I say it?) become predictable. Trope 1: any group of survivors other than our own are going to be bad guys. Trope 2:Anyone trying to rebuild civilization in any form is foolish and evil, just like Terminus or Woodbury. The only answer, according to the writers, is to roam the landscape, scavenge and forage. Really? In all of human history there's no examples of survivors banding together?
Despite these complaints, it was still an enjoyable and watchable episode. Always nice to see the characters figure out ways to "game the situation" with the walkers to their advantage (this time holing up in a multistory building *AFTER* blocking all access to the upper floors.)Side note-it's very peculiar that, during this run of episodes, Maggie does not wonder at all what happened to her sister. NOT ONCE.
