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.

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…
