Major Spoilers for the episode

 First thing is the prison overrun with walkers. Michonne is watching it, she uses her katana to put down Hershel's severed head. She then makes new pets (the armless jawless zombies) and heads off into the wilderness.

Then we see Rick and Carl, Rick is all beat to shit and Carl is pissed off. They are walking. They're clearing buildings together, Rick is trying to give orders but Carl's not havin it. Eventually they settle down in a house for the night.

In the morning Carl is trying unsuccessfully to wake up Rick, and the noise alerts zombies outside the door. Carl goes outside to lure them away, he trips and has a close call but manages to kill them and go back in. He then talks to unconscious Rick about how he can handle himself now, how Rick couldn't protect anybody and so they're all dead. Carl then wanders off outside again.

We see a dream sequence of Michonne in her apartment before the turn, with the men who were her original zombie pets. They're sitting at a table, dressed nicely, then abruptly halfway through the scene they're dressed in zombie survival mode. The conversation becomes incoherent. Michonne is holding a baby through most of this scene and it abruptly vanishes near the end. She wakes up and continues on her way.

Back to Carl. He comes to a house. He's going through clearing it and finds a big ass can of pudding. A zombie pops out, he has another close call, but again gets away. He eats his big can of pudding outside that house, then goes back. When he gets inside, Rick is groaning and lurches off the couch; Carl thinks he's turned and readies his gun. Then he decides he can't do it, and resigns himself to being eaten. Then Rick goes "Carl..." and everything's alright.

We see Michonne going through the woods, she kills a fuckton of zombies, then finds places that we saw Rick and Carl in at the beginning of the episode. The episode ends with her knocking on the front door of the house they're in. They become alerted at the sound, then laugh with relief when they see it's her. Episode over.

'The Walking Dead': Danai Gurira previews Michonne's 'volatile' moment

Entertainment weekly spoke to Danai Gurira on whats next for Michonne on the second half of the fourth season.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So we start the final eight episodes with everyone sort of splintered off into smaller groups and I know in this first episode back we are going to see what happens to Michonne as the prison falls and where she goes. What else can you tell us?
DANAI GURIRA: What we know is that she was really starting to settle in. She really cared about this place. She really wanted to prevent what she knew the Governor was capable of. She didn’t see any hope in his transformation or redemption. The idea that this actually happened just as she was letting her guard down. You know she says to Daryl in episode 404, “I’m not going to go out and look for him anymore.” So the trail did get cold and she starts to will herself more to just being there, and not like man-caving on her horse anymore. She does that little trip with Hershel and starts to literally help more with the housekeeping of the prison. So to get to the point where all that is lost is severely traumatic for her. What happens to Hershel right next to her, in her presence, something that she couldn’t prevent, that for her is extremely traumatic. You know she likes to take care of business. She had just started to slip into being a member of the community and plugging in and that is huge for her. It’s revolutionary for her. So the loss is pretty extreme. So the question is, how does she metabolize this? How does she handle it?

EW: What’s the aftermath for everyone in terms of seeing of Hershel executed? There have obviously been a lot of deaths on this show, but that one was so brutal for such a kind and gentle soul to be killed in such a savage way. What will that loss do to everyone?GURIRA: I mean, really what everyone has to do is process and survive. But they have to survive, and will they even have the time or space to process? Of course they live in an apocalypse where there’s no more walls and there’s no more protection, so how is everybody going to handle this loss? It could go any which way. How do we navigate this world while still trying to metabolize all these losses and grievances? This is a volatile moment. This is a scary moment for everybody.

EW: For the most part this show has been one big group. Now that everybody seems to be splintered off into smaller groups, how will that change the show?GURIRA: I think Andy said it best. There’s space around events in a way that is definitely different. There is a lot of honing in on people and their experiences and their inner turmoil and outward trauma. There’s a lot more getting to know everybody. We’re not functioning in an ensemble-like way anymore because the group is fractured. What I love about that is that looking at it from a macro-perspective it is fantastic storytelling-wise because in the little research that I’ve done I learned that one of the key elements of war is displacement. People are caught up in the concern of where people are and what happened to them and not having any way of finding out. That’s such a rich, authentic component of what really happens in a war zone. So I think that’s really thrilling that’s going to be rippling through the back eight.

EW: Any other teases for Michonne coming up?GURIRA: What’s interesting for Michonne is that she is on the tip of something. She was on the tip of something in those first eight episodes. Was she going to settle in? Was she starting to open up? Then the trauma hit and I think the big question is, will this clam her back up or open her up? It’s a question of going back to the old her or going on a different path. That’s the question sitting on her soul as she tries to metabolize the trauma that’s befallen her.
