Review


Overall, nothing really happened. There wasn’t any significant character development nor any real exciting scenes. Generally, nothing happens, beside Rick getting shaved. I was glad to see Rectify’s Michael Traynor make an appearance, but the show used him terribly, which is a shame, because he could potentially add something valuable to the show and offers more range than several of the other characters. Overall, this was again one of the worst episodes of the series. A 4.5 of out 10 is suitable.
