Ep 2. Sick

The Walking Dead season 3 episode 2, titled "Sick," picks up immediately where the previous episode left off, with Rick leading the survivors out of the overrun prison. The group is forced to leave behind their wounded members, Hershel and Glenn, who were bitten by walkers during the chaos.

The episode primarily revolves around the fate of Hershel, who has lost his leg to the bite and is fighting for his life. Rick, Daryl, and T-Dog attempt to save him by going on a dangerous mission to retrieve the medical supplies needed to perform an amputation. Meanwhile, the rest of the survivors deal with the repercussions of the attack, including a group of new prisoners who have joined them in the cell block.

As tensions rise between the group and the prisoners, with some questioning whether or not they can be trusted, Hershel's condition continues to worsen. The team performing the amputation faces several obstacles, including a horde of walkers that they must fight off in order to procure the necessary supplies.

Throughout the episode, we see the strained relationships between members of the group, including Rick and Carl's increasing tension, and Carol's growing resentment towards Lori for her role in the death of her husband.

Despite the tension and danger, the team is ultimately successful in performing the amputation on Hershel and saving his life. The episode ends with a glimmer of hope for the group as Hershel regains consciousness and the prisoners are shown to be potentially valuable allies in the fight for survival.

Overall, "Sick" is a gripping episode that showcases the danger and obstacles that the group faces in the post-apocalyptic world. With the addition of new characters and the continued development of existing ones, it sets the stage for an intense and emotional season ahead.
