Meanwhile, in the lovely town of Woodbury, the Governor David Morrissey is throwing a party! Except that this party comes with some very disturbing entertainment. Sarah Wayne Callies opens up about Lori's "difficult" episode. Zombies eat people. Babies do not: They need, you know, milk. Maggie Lauren Cohan and Daryl find a house that hasn't been looted of all its baby formula. While that happens, Glenn stays behind and bonds with the two remaining prisoners, who prove that they can be trusted by volunteering to dig graves and distract zombies.

He's hiding her in his house.
He tries to brush her hair at one point. The latest episode, which mercifully takes a break from the gear-grinding tedium of the prison, flashes back to fill in the blanks about exactly what happened to the Governor after last season's prison siege.
