'The Walking Dead' Recap: 'Always Accountable'
Get all the details from last night's episode.
-- The latest episode of "The Walking Dead" showed what Abraham, Sasha, and Daryl have been up to while the attack on Alexandria is underway -- and may have ended with a possible sign of life for Glenn.
While the trio continues their mission of leading their portion of the walker horde away from the unbeknownst-to-them embattled town, they're suddenly interrupted by a multiple car ambush.
While Sasha and Abraham shoot their way out of danger, Daryl is separated, and ends up spilling off his bike and getting injured. He walks his bike through the woods until he finds a completely torched area. Two young women emerge, and distract him just long enough for a man to come from behind and knock him out.
Daryl comes to and learns they're apparently on the run from another group -- thinking he's one of them. They tie him up and lead him along, until one of the women passes out. Daryl uses the distraction and runs into the woods, taking the bag in which they stashed his crossbow.
After barely besting a walker, however, Daryl notices the bag he swiped is carrying insulin. Using it as a bargaining chip, he rejoins his former captors, trading a gun -- and thus the only advantage the newbies had -- for the life-saving drugs.
The break is short-lived, however, when a group of men burst into the area, hunting for Daryl's former captors -- who apparently ran away from the other group. However, one gets bitten by a walker and has his comrade chop off his arm to spare him from "turning," and their hunt abruptly ends.
Daryl learns the trio is looking for "Patty" and that the male intentionally used a fuel truck to trigger the inferno that scorched the woods, killing dozens of walkers in the process. However, they come upon an area that was also burned, and it seemed the blaze took the life of some people they knew -- and one bites the one of the women to death.
Eventually, Daryl makes his way back to his bike, and is promptly double-crossed. The couple steals his crossbow and mounts his motorcycle. "I'm sorry," the woman says. "You will be," Daryl hisses back. Left on his own, he wanders back through the blackened walker zone he found earlier, and finds evidence of Patty -- who isn't a person, but a pristine fuel truck.
Meanwhile, while Daryl dealt with his new frenemies, Abraham and Sasha get some bonding time -- and she takes him to task for his apparently increasingly unstable behavior.
They find shelter, an office that's safe from the threats outside, and even one walker inside, trapped by a sliding glass door. Sasha tries to get through to Abraham that he needs to shut his killer instincts down now and again, but he only learns the lesson later, from an unlikely source: a trapped walker he finds.
Abraham finds an abandoned military Humvee carrying a case full of rocket propelled grenades and a box of cigars. However, the launcher is attached to a soldier-walker dangling over the overpass from a metal fence. Abraham crawls out onto the fence to try to retrieve the launcher -- bringing him within biting distance of the snapping jaws of the walker. Screaming into its face, Abraham apparently has a Sasha-inspired change of heart, and crawls back onto safer ground.
Lighting up a stogie and taking it easy, he gets rewarded: the walker's body falls free, leaving the launcher behind for the mustachioed hero.
Back inside the office, he tells Sasha that he wants to get to know her better, and almost as a physical sign of turning over a new leaf, the former military man finds a sharp dress uniform jacket and dons it proudly. Just then, they hear a truck outside and see it's Daryl and "Patty."
The reunited trio rumble along -- when they hear a male voice on a walkie talkie saying a solitary word: "Help!"
While Daryl himself, Norman Reedus, told Entertainment Weekly the voice isn't Glenn, we just might find out next Sunday, November 22, when "The Walking Dead" returns at 9 p.m. Eastern time on AMC.
