Watching the meeting between Rick and the Governor was like watching a spider inch up to its intended meal, but the Governor better be careful because Rick has a stinger and she’s called Michonne. The meeting ended with the Governor’s declaration of war, “Give me Michonne or die.” What is that crazy Governor planning to do with our Michonne? Find out right after the jump.
We get to see a little bit of what makes Michonne so special, and maybe what horrors existed for her before the apocalypse. While traveling together, Andrea asks Michonne about her pet zombies. Michonne’s reply, “They deserved what they got. They weren’t human to begin with.”
Trouble in Woodbury
Keep up with me on this recap, my little zombie snacks, because a lot happens. The Governor is a busy bee and putting together a torture chamber for Michonne. He is actually whistling, excited over the chance to torture her with some rather nasty instruments, unaware that he’s being watched by a shocked Andrea and Milton. Andrea sees the Governor for the psycho job that he is and is about to take action, but Milton stops her. After Milton and Andrea see Martinez and his ruffians preparing for battle, Milton tries to talk the Governor out of killing Team Prison, but the Governor is out for revenge. Milton finally tells Andrea what the Governor’s plans are for everyone at the prison.
She has to warn her friends and tries to sneak out of town, but all her weapons, except for a knife are taken from her by Martinez. Andrea tries another way out of town and comes upon Tyrese and Sasha doing some target shooting. She tells them that she has to get out of town and that they should do the same thing. They allow her to leave, but when the Governor finds out, he goes hunting for her.
Tyrese
Tyrese (Chad Coleman) and Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) are thinking about leaving the town, but Allen (Daniel Thomas May) and Ben (Tyler Chase) want to stay. Martinez takes several men along with Tyrese and his group to help round up the zombies that are kept in a pit. When Tyrese realizes that the zombies will be used against the people at the prison, he’s upset, wants to leave, Allen doesn’t, and they fight. Later that night someone sets fire to the zombies in the pit.
Andrea is literally running for her life. Armed only with a knife, she has to doge zombies and the Governor who is hot on her trail. She finds her way to an abandoned building filled with walkers and hides. The Governor who is armed with a shovel goes searching for her, all the while whistling that eerie tune… his killer tune, while playing a cat and mouse game with Andrea. When Andrea tries to escape via a fire tower, she finds herself trapped, zombies to the right, Governor to the left. But, Andrea is smart and finds a way to introduce the zombies to the Governor, up close and personal while she takes off.

Conclusion
Andrea never had the chance to warn her friends, Tyrese and his team remain at Woodbury even though they see what’s going down, Milton might be in the dog house and our Governor is one hell of a creepy guy. I can’t wait until next week. Can you?
