Rescued from the dead by Glenn, Rick joins a small band of other survivors in Atlanta. With angry, violent racist Merle handcuffed on a rooftop, the group chops up a walker and covers Rick and Glenn with the blood and gore, hoping the terrible stench will allow them to wade through a crowd of walkers to reach some vehicles and escape Atlanta.

Reunited with his family at a camp outside Atlanta, Rick is unaware his former police partner, Shane, has developed a romantic relationship with Lori, his wife, and a father figure to his son, Carl, thinking Rick had died weeks before. The group discovers a walker near the camp, and Daryl is told his brother Merle was left behind in Atlanta and may still be alive.

Finding only a severed hand on the rooftop, the rescue team surmises Merle is still alive and has managed to elude the walking dead.

A horde of walkers attack the base camp.

LogBook entry by Robert Parson

With several dead from an attack by walkers, they realize the campsite is no longer safe. The group struggles over what to do about Jim, who was bitten by a walker and continues to sicken. Tension increases between Rick and Shane as Rick begins taking command, and Shane’s jealousy over the loss of Lori’s affections. Rick suggests the Centers For Disease Control in Atlanta would be a good move, since the CDC would be working toward a cure… but some choose not to go. Meanwhile, a scientist continues to work in isolation at the CDC lab…

Accidentally shot by a hunter, Carl is carried by Rick to a nearby farm where a family is surviving. The owner of the farm, Herschel, a veterinarian, operates on Carl but needs antibiotics, other meds, and equipment to continue. The hunter, Otis, and Shane head to a school used as an aid station to retrieve the medical supplies as the rest of Rick’s group is brought to the farm. When the two men arrive at the school they discover it is overrun by the dead.

Carrying necessary medical supplies, Shane and Otis are trapped by walkers at the school. With Carl remaining in critical condition, Sophia still missing, and death claiming others of the group, Lori begins losing hope. Andrea begins finding glimmers of hope, although she is becoming hardened by the death of her sister and friends. Shane returns with the supplies, without Otis. As Carl recovers, Shane showers and is haunted and changed by the cold decision he made to bring the life-saving supplies.
