Finally getting a chance to chime in here....

I liked this episode. There was enough of pretty much every character that I felt like things were starting to be drawn together.

We start with Saul, Vic, and Lizzy leaving. And with end with Burt and Riley(?) leaving. In between, we get some great interactions between characters: Michael & Kelly, Kelly & Tanya, Michael & Pegs, Burt & CJ (with Glenn thrown in for effect), Pegs & Garden Guy.

The tease with Michael's arm was awesome. I actually groaned out loud in the car when Pegs' voice chimed in there.

Kelly and the laundry detail comment... "Comedy gold, Jerry!"

The Burt and CJ show down was great! CJ didn't even know she was being played... That's the big weakness in believing you are always the smartest person in the room... you don't realize your weaknesses. Poor little CJ (bitch!).

Kelly and Tanya discussion was awesome. I think we're getting close to bringing some things together that have been put out there for the listener along the way. The character's have not had the "information sharing" that the listener has been privy to this whole time. And as I believe we know from Kc himself, nothing is true until it is "known" by a character in the story. So maybe we will start getting some resolution to old stuff as Kelly goes through the journals and Tanya's notes. I think it's the perfect job for her right now (unless she's a CJ spy.... please don't be that!)

Tanya (aka, Artful Dodger) has long been one of my favorites in the show and her lines (and delivery of them) were awesome in this episode as well. The back and forth about bites.... Love it!

Chapter title: we've had cases in the past (recent or otherwise) where the chapter title didn't make sense until part 3 of 3. This one may be the case as well. Does it mean that the original "heroes" (Michael and Co) will be unified and strong away from the Colony? Does it mean that the Colony will be unified and strong with CJ's management? Does it mean that the zombies are unified and strong and that we will see that played out against either the Colony or another group? Or does it mean that since nobody is unified in this chapter, nobody is really strong right now and they have to learn that lesson the very hard way?

Well, no matter how it turns out I feel like we are getting close to some pay off for all the recent build up. And I have really been enjoying all the character interaction and story arc continuation in Season 4 so far.
