Summary: Rick and Shane drive a distance away from the farm to let Randall go, and Rick talks to Shane about Lori. It’s revealed that Randall went to school with Maggie so he knows where the farm is. Shane wants to kill him but Rick stops him. The two of them argue and then get into a brutal brawl. Back at the farm, Beth becomes suicidal. Lori and Maggie try to talk to her in different ways, and Lori and Andrea get into an argument about their individual values to the group. Andrea takes a different approach to Beth, having wanted to kill herself before as well, and allows the girl to make her own decision. Beth does cut her wrists but not enough to kill herself, and Lori admits that it was the right choice. Maggie is more upset, however, and doesn’t want Andrea in the house. Meanwhile, Shane is trapped in a bus surrounded by zombies, but Rick saves him and tells him that things have to change. They begin the drive back to the farm with Randall in the trunk, and Shane stares out the window at a lone zombie wandering through a field…
