Plot summary
The survivors leave in Dale's camper for safer ground. They encounter another group of survivors: Tyreese, his daughter Julie, and her boyfriend Chris. Lori discovers she is pregnant, and tells Rick, who is still unaware of the affair with Shane. Banding together, they continue on the road, eventually coming to a gated community called Wiltshire Estates. They clear out one house and sleep inside. Dale and Andrea start up a relationship, having spent the most time together. The next day they spread out, intending to clean out the other houses, but do not notice the snow-covered sign at the gate reading "All Dead Inside — Do Not Enter"--until it is too late. The group is again attacked by zombies. Allen's wife Donna is subsequently bitten and killed. The survivors cram back into the RV and depart.
Low on food, Rick and Tyreese decide to hunt and Carl joins them, but is shot by another hunter. Carl is badly hurt and Otis, the hunter, leads the group to the farm of Hershel Greene. Hershel tends to the boy and allows the group to take shelter at his farm while Carl heals. Glenn begins a physical relationship with one of Hershel's daughters, Maggie. Rick learns that Hershel is not killing the zombies he encounters, but instead trapping them into his barn. He hopes that one day they might be "cured" — especially since his eldest son Shawn is among them.
When taking in another stray zombie, Hershel gets knocked back by a zombie by the door, and the rest of the zombies escape Hershel's barn. Despite Arnold's best efforts to save his father, his undead brother Shawn bites him. Lacey attempts to save them but is devoured by the zombies. Hershel kills all three of his children himself. Maggie, his youngest son Billy, and his youngest children, twins Rachel and Suzie become the last remaining children. After dispatching the zombies, Rick and his party are obliged to leave after a heated argument between Rick and Hershel, though Glenn stays behind with his girlfriend, Maggie. Rick and the others eventually come to a prison and decide it would make the perfect haven from the undead.
