The Walking Dead WITH spoilers

As we saw from the sneak peek, our beloved family enters the gates of the community and is promptly instructed by Nicholas (Michael Traynor) to hand over their weapons if they want to stay. (Remember the last time Rick was told to give up a weapon?) Rick says that he doesn't know if they want to stay. Rick notices a walker coming toward the gates and Rick, with a soft but deliberately spoken “Sasha,” shows Nicholas just who Team Grimes is. Sasha calmly raises her gun and shoots it in the head.

After the opening credits Rick is in Deanna’s house (ASZ leader), apparently for some kind of interview. Deanna asks Rick if she can film their conversation. She asks Rick how long they have been “out there” and tells him how the community came to be. At the end of this talk she tells Rick he needs to make a decision on whether to stay or not.

The group is outside handing their guns over. Aaron tells Rick and Carl they can have two houses for the group. After exploring the downstairs of the house Rick takes a steamy shower. (**Warning to Rick fangirls: contains steamy butt shot.) Then, as violins play in the background, Rick then shaves off his glorious beard off. (Just kidding on the violins. Sorry, not sorry.) After Rick walks his glistening, shirtless bod downstairs, he sees somebody at the door. The woman introduces herself as Jessie (Alexandra Breckenridge) and offers Rick a basket of goodies and a haircut. While cutting Rick’s hair, Jessie talks about her son who is about Carl’s age.

Daryl is briefly interviewed. Grunts ensue.

Carl hears noises upstairs in the house and, after investigating with knife in hand, finds out it’s just his imagination. He finds old comic books in an empty room. (Is this Kirkman product placement?)As the group is settling down for their first night in the ASZ, Deanna drops by to make sure they are all ok.

The next morning Rick goes outside into the street and starts panicking, he runs down the road looking in all directions. He knocks over some scrap metal, which Jessie hears and then comes to his aid. Turns out he is looking for Judith, who is with Carl getting attention from some of the locals.

Carl is introduced to two other boys and a girl who live in the ASZ. Carl is a bit shy and awkward.

Carl, while with Judith, is interviewed by Deanna. Back in his bedroom Carl tells Rick he likes the new community.

Out for a little midnight stroll, Rick briefly meets Jessie's husband sitting on the porch of his house.

Carol is interviewed next morning.

***Pause. Now would be a good time for all of the lovely Carylers to take a deep breath and channel their inner Queen Bitch for this next part…

Daryl is playing with his crossbow on the porch of his house. Carol tells him to take a shower or she will hose him down. He tells Carol she looks “ridiculous” in her new housewife clothes. Her community job is feeding the elderly.

Rick decides to venture outside the ASZ gates and is let out by the gate guards. Meanwhile, Carl spots the girl from the community escaping over a wall. He follows her into the woods but loses her. Rick looks for the gun he stashed in the last episode only to find it's gone. He bumps into Carl, they speak a few words, and then fight a couple of walkers. Just another day in the ZA. One grabs Ricks boot, but Rick lets Carl finish it off even though he could have done it himself.

Noah, Glenn and Tara are shown how to do a run (yeah, like they need to be shown anything) by Deanna’s son and another ASZ member. They are led to some bloody chains by a tree and Deanna's son and the guy with him are annoyed that the walker they had chained up is gone. They explain how it killed a member of the community a while ago so they were keeping it chained like some sort of punishment. The walker comes out of nowhere and almost gets Tara. She kills it and Deanna’s son gets annoyed.
Back at the ASZ, Deanna’s son takes a swing at Glenn, who knocks him down with one punch. Deanna breaks it up, actually thanking Glenn for teaching her son a lesson. She tells Rick and Michonne that their job is security at the community.

The scene cuts to the interview with Rick from first day. He says to Deanna that everyone has an angle and is looking for something to take, and that she shouldn't have let them in. Deanna responds by saying “Are you already looking out for us?”

Back at the house, Rick puts on his new, spiffy, cop uniform. Carol says that the group will get weak being there but Rick responds by saying he won't allow it. He says, “If they can't make it, we will take this place.”

End of episode.
 
-Sasha wakes up looking at a family portrait left behind in her new house. She takes the pictures outside the Safe zone and uses them as target practice. She then sits on a tree stump and quietly says to herself "come and get me".

-At the place where Rick hid his gun in the previous episode, Rick, Daryl and Carol are plotting to steal some weapons that were taken from them upon arriving to ASZ.

-Towards the end of the episode, Aaron invites Daryl into his house for some dinner. He then shows him his garage that is full of old motorcycle parts. He tells Daryl that his job is replacing Eric as a recruiter, because he knows how to take care of himself and that he knows the good people from bad. Daryl starts to take a liking to Aaron.

Opening scene: Father Gabriel enters what appears to be a makeshift prayer room. He stands at an altar and looks down at a Bible. A basket of strawberries has been left for him by a member of the community. There is a note saying it’s a blessing to have him there. He then starts to tear the pages out of the Bible.

Noah meets with Deanna's husband over breakfast to talk about becoming an architect. He says he is in it for the long haul.

Abraham washes his face while Rosita is asleep in a bed, her reflection showing in the sink mirror.

Eugene is checking out a broken part from the community's solar farm.

Aiden kisses his mom on the cheek while getting ready for a supply run. Glenn, Aiden, Nicholas, Eugene, Noah and Tara (GANENT? Not exactly GREATM, but it will work) leave in a beat up old van, banging out drum & bass music.

Jessie is in her yard picking up pieces from a broken sculpture. Officer Rick notices, asks her if she has any enemies and says he will ask around to find out who did it.

GANENT heads into a dark warehouse where Eugene seeks out the part he needs. Lots of walkers are locked behind a fence inside.

Aiden, ever the douchebag, shoots an armed walker multiple times, finally shooting a grenade on the walker’s body by mistake. After the smoke clears, we see Tara has been knocked unconscious and is bleeding from her head. Eugene almost gets eaten because of his lack of ability to shoot his gun.

Carol finds Sam in her house snooping around for cookies. (Does this kid ever eat a vegetable?) She tells him she will make some if he steals some chocolate for her. Dayum, Carol!

Back at the warehouse, everyone but Aiden is stuck in a small room. Tara is bleeding out. They clear the walkers so they can rescue Aiden who is now impaled by two steel poles.

Meanwhile, back at the ASZ, Abraham leads a construction team working outside the community. They are building a wall. A herd of walkers approaches which results in a gun fight. Abraham saves a girl with black emo hair (Francine?), tosses out a 'mother dick' for good measure, and we can see he is definitely happy to be fighting walkers once again.

Pete the Drunk pays a visit to Rick. He tells Rick that the Alexandrians have lost things too and that Rick’s group needs to understand that. He also offers to play doctor to Rick’s kids. He tells Rick they 'have to be friends' and slaps him on the shoulder. (From the sneak peek.)

GANENT isn’t faring so well. Eugene tells an unconscious Tara the group should have listened to him and that he takes no responsibility for what has happened. He carries Tara out of the warehouse, shooting walkers on the way... kind of.

Glenn, Noah and Nicholas try to free Aiden from the kabob. Nicholas runs away. We’ll call him Douchebag #2. Glenn and Noah must finally give up and Aiden gets ripped to shreds. (Kabob AND strip steak!)

After the walker fight, Sgt. Abe commands the team of builders to stay and finish the job they started.

With Aiden dead and Eugene & Tara elsewhere, Noah, Nicholas and Glenn fight their way through an office.

A member of the community tells Deanna that Abraham should lead the construction team.

Carol is baking cookies again. After talking to Sam, she develops a suspicion that Pete is abusing him. She finds out Sam broke the owl statue.

Glenn, Nicholas and Noah are still fighting for their lives. They find themselves trapped in the partitions of a revolving door. (Worst invention EVER!) They are trying to hold back the wave of walkers. Eugene pulls up in the van, music blasting. Glenn tries breaking the window, but Douchebag #2 panics and pushes the door to get out which results in Noah being exposed to the walkers. Glenn watches through the glass in horror as Noah’s face is ripped apart.

Nicholas runs to the van and yells at Eugene to go! Eugene is like wtf, where are the others, and pulls his gun on Nicholas. They have a little scuffle, then Glenn tackles Nicholas, knocking him out.

Gabriel tells Deanna that Rick’s group has done unspeakable things and that they are all pretty much Satan’s minions. Way to pay them back for saving your cowardly ass, Gabe.

Carol tells Rick that she believes Pete is hitting Sam.

Abraham is praising his workers.

Maggie is listening to the entire conversation between Deanna and Gabriel.

Carol tells Rick that he must kill Pete. Again….DAYUM, CAROL!

Spoilers are accurate at the time of posting. As always, nothing is 100% until the show actually airs.
 
Do we see the "wolves"?

Does Tara die from her head injury?
Tara is apparently 'stable'. Nothing more about her.

Who is Sasha shooting at?
