After the shocking events of the mid-season finale, The Walking Dead returns with episode 9 of Season 4 titled “After”. This episode serves as somewhat of a reset for the show, focusing mainly on the character development of Rick, Carl, and Michonne in the aftermath of the Governor’s attack on the prison.

The episode opens with scenes of chaos and destruction, with Rick and Carl fleeing from the prison in different directions. In the wilderness outside the prison, Rick struggles to come to terms with the loss of his home, the death of his friends, and the realization that he is now responsible for the safety of his son. He is also grappling with the internal struggle of trying to maintain his humanity while also surviving in a world overrun by zombies.

Meanwhile, Carl is struggling to stay alive on his own. He comes face to face with the harsh realities of the outside world and is forced to make some tough decisions. As a result, he begins to shed his childlike innocence and becomes more hardened to the realities of life in a world where the dead walk.

The episode also explores the backstory of Michonne, one of the show’s most fascinating characters. Through a series of flashbacks, we learn about her past and the tragic events that led to her becoming the stoic and solitary survivor that we have come to know. These glimpses into her past provide a deeper understanding of the character and add a layer of complexity to her relationship with Rick and Carl.

Throughout the episode, the focus is on the emotional journey of the characters rather than the action and zombie-fighting that we have come to expect from the show. However, that’s not to say that there aren’t some intense moments. There are some gripping scenes involving the characters fighting off zombies and protecting each other.

Ultimately, “After” is an episode about survival, both physically and emotionally. It’s about coming to terms with loss, finding the will to keep going, and discovering what’s truly important in life. While it may not be the most action-packed episode of the series, it’s a necessary one, setting the stage for what’s to come in the rest of the season. It also sets up some interesting character arcs and interactions between the main players moving forward.

Overall, “After” is a somber, introspective episode that allows the characters to shine and the audience to connect with them on a deeper level. It’s a reminder that The Walking Dead is as much about the humanity of the survivors as it is about the zombie apocalypse. So, it is a must-watch for the fans of the show.
