Last week’s episode ended with the Governor watching Rick & Carl tend the garden. We pick up this week right after 
the Governor’s infamous massacre. The Grief from losing his daughter (which was a walker) coupled with the weight of killing so many of his friends and neighbors from Woodbury has taken its toll on him. How deep he has slipped into a depression is obvious, as he sits blankly staring into the fire while a walker heads right for him. Martinez puts the walker down & you can see in his face that he has grown tired of carrying the Governor. Martinez and the remaining members of the group abandon the Governor in the night while he slept. Next we see the Governor crash through the walls of Woodbury and burn the entire city to the ground (if he can’t have it no one can!)
We fast forward a couple of months to find the Governor in bad shape, wandering the streets barely surviving. Walking down an abandoned street a walker heads straight for him, the Governor ducks out of the way at the last possible moment then collapses shortly after in the street. We see a little girl watching from an apartment window as he collapses. The Governor looks up and sees the girl watching.
He enters the apartment complex and begins to make his way to the apartment where he saw the girl. The Governor is greeted by the barrel of a pistol fixed his head, however the family takes a chance and lets him in. They show him to the apartment across the hall and agree to let him stay there for the night. The next morning the governor is about to leave when one of the women asks him to go to the nursing home a couple of blocks away and get more oxygen for her father (who is dying from cancer). At the nursing home he runs into trouble while trying to get a cart of oxygen tanks out of the building he is attacked by the walkers that inhabit the place. He barely gets out alive but manages to bring back 2 tanks of oxygen for the family.
Some time has passed as now we see the Governor with a haircut and shave and it appears that he has stuck around to help the family for a while. He is forced to put down the little girls grandfather in front of her after he turns. The little girl is afraid of him after seeing this and hides when he looks at her. The Governor then packs up and is leaving when the woman stops him and says that he has to take them along.
The Governor and his new family take off in a box truck and spend a couple of nights in it, one of which with the Governor and the little girls mother becoming intimate. The truck breaks down and they are forced to travel on foot when they come upon a herd of walkers. The little girl finally runs into the Governors arms and they are running when they both fall into a walker pit. The Governor is forced to take out 3 walkers with his bare hands and he tells the girl that he will never let anything happen to her. During the commotion we hear gunfire and the episode ends with the Governor looking up to see Martinez standing there.
It appears that the Governor has transformed again and with him finding this family he has been given a second chance. But next week we will see if the reunion of Martinez and the Governor will show us the old Governor or if he will continue on his new path!

What did you think about the Governers new personality?
Waiting for another twist, his character is just totally unpredictable.
Definitely! Can’t wait to see what happens next!
