The Walking Dead season 5 episode 2 “Strangers” started a little slow you could say but it’s good character development going on. Then by the end you may be in a panic as one of the creepiest scenes from the entire show happens. You can read the full recap of the episode on our Season 5 Episode 2: Strangers recap. SPOILERS BELOW, do not scroll down if you have not seen the episode yet.

The major points from this episode are (in order how they appeared in the episode):

  • Rick and his group are being watched by someone in the woods
  • The group rescue Father Gabriel and go to his church
  • Father Gabriel seems like he’s hiding something but doesn’t appear dangerous, not yet anyways
  • Rick, Michonne, Bob, Sasha and Father Gabriel go to a food bank to look for food and supplies; while there, Bob is pulled underwater by a walker but is saved by Sasha
  • After Rick and the others return to the church from the supply run, Carl shows Rick scratch marks on the outside of the church and also someone scratched onto the wall, “You’ll burn for this”
  • Tara confesses to Maggie that she was part of the Governor’s group but didn’t know who he really was and Maggie forgives her
  • Daryl finds Carol by the abandoned car they earlier found, as Carol may have been thinking of leaving on her own; they see a car drive past them fast which had the cross on the back; Daryl and Carol get into the car to follow it hoping it leads them to Beth
  • Bob kisses Sasha a few times, then goes outside and starts crying; possibly crying because he was bitten by the walker who pulled him underwater earlier; Bob is suddenly knocked unconscious
  • Bob wakes up and finds himself surrounded by Gareth and others from Terminus; as Gareth eats some meat he tells Bob how surprised how good he tastes and Bob realizes his left leg is gone

Gareth creepily talks to Bob as he realizes he's missing his left leg
