Make sure to check the full season 4 finale summary for a detailed summary of episode 16, A. I’ll go over the major things that happened in the season 4 finale right in this post.

Rick, Carl and Michonne come across a broken down truck and set up camp there. During the night, Carl is asleep in the truck while Rick and Michonne talk in front of the truck. Joe and his group find Rick, Michonne and Carl. They hold Rick and Michonne at gunpoint while one guy pulls Carl out of the truck. Daryl comes out from the woods and says to let them go, they’re good people. Joe says that Daryl is lying so he has two guys start to beat Daryl up. The man who has Carl, wrestles him to the ground and is attempting to rape him. Joe says that they’re going to first beat Daryl to death, then they’ll have Michonne and then Carl, and then he’s going to shoot Rick. Rick headbutts Joe and they start fighting as Michonne is still held at gunpoint by one of the guys. With Joe holding Rick in a bear hug, he says, “What the hell are you gonna do now, Sport?” Rick bites Joe’s neck and spits out what he bit off as Joe falls to the ground. With everyone stunned by what just happened, Michonne gets the gun from the guy near her, she shoots him and then shoots one of the guys fighting Daryl. Daryl then kills the other guy that was beating him up. The pedophile tries to surrender but Rick says, “He’s mine.” Rick stabs the pedophile and keeps stabbing him, as Carl watches with Michonne holding him in her arms.

This part is straight from the comic book with a few small changes. You can see the comparison on the Episode 416: Panel to screen comparison blog post on thewalkingdead.com.

The next day, Rick and the others reach Terminus. They leave a bag full of guns outside buried outside the fence around Terminus. They then jump the fence to enter the back of Terminus. They meet the leader, named Gareth and then they’re brought to the front by Alex where Mary is cooking at the grill. Rick notices that some of the people at Terminus have items that his group members had. He notices Daryl’s poncho (Maggie was wearing it last), riot gear (Glenn originally had on but Eugene was wearing it last), the dead hitchhiker’s orange back pack (which Glenn was last using), and Hershel’s pocket watch. Rick pulls his gun on Alex and asks where he got the pocket watch. Gareth comes to try and talk to Rick but signals to Mary behind Rick. Rick turns in time as Mary shoots Alex and then a shootout ensues.

Rick and the group run through the compound trying to find a way out and avoid the gunfire that the people on the roofs of Terminus are shooting. The people on the roof are intentionally shooting at Rick and his group’s feet to get them to go in a particular direction. As they run through the area, they pass an area with a lot of human bones and train cargo cars with sounds of human voices coming from them. They also go through a strange room with candles, names and items. The group is eventually surrounded by Terminus people, they surrender their weapons, and are forced to go into a train cargo car. In the car Rick and the others are not alone as Glenn, Maggie, Bob, Sasha, Tara, Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita are all in there as well.

The episode ends with: Rick says, “They’re gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out.” Abraham says, “Find out what?” Rick says, “They’re screwing with the wrong people.”
