Summary: The group buries Dale and Rick declares that they’re going to prove him wrong about them being broken. Hershel agrees to let them stay in the house. Rick has decided to just let Randall go. Lori goes to Shane and tells him that she’s thankful for him keeping her and Carl alive all that time. Shane takes Randall out of the barn and into the woods and snaps his neck. He then runs back to the farm and tells the others that Randall got away. Daryl and Glenn find Randall as a zombie but can’t see why he’s a zombie. Rick and Shane wander out into the open and Shane pulls a gun on him, and Rick lets him. Shane yells at Rick that he’s a better husband, father, and man than Rick is. Rick starts to talk him down, but then he stabs Shane, killing him. Carl appears, and shoots Shane as he comes back as a zombie. As Rick goes to examine Shane’s body, the camera pans out to show a massive horde of zombies coming straight for the farm…
