The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 6 “Secrets” (B+)
For a man who’s not too good with keeping secrets, Glenn seems to have found himself with a double whammy, burdened with the knowledge both of the zombies in the barn and of Lori’s pregnancy. Fortunately, he chose to confide in Hershel, who confronted both parties about their clandestine acts but did so privately and gracefully. Hershel’s outlook on the zombies is particularly interesting and groundbreaking, perceiving them as sick people who shouldn’t simply be put down due to their current state. Maggie shared that same view before coming face-to-face with a rather unkillable zombie in the drugstore, which rattled her enough to give Lori a peace of her mind and freak out at Glenn. It’s nice that her insulting of Glenn actually comes wrapped in a compliment, and it’s true that he’s incredibly helpful in a tight spot and one of the most dependable of the group. Now that he’s conscious, Carl seems ready to get back to growing up, desiring to shoot a gun and all. Rick discovering Lori’s pregnancy and abortion attempt got him quite upset, but he didn’t seem to mind all that much finding out about her affair with Shane, revealing that he knew all along. The most chilling event of the hour was Dale’s third intense confrontation, this time with Shane, telling him that he knows what he is. Shane’s response was unsettling at best, telling him that if he was willing to shoot his best friend, imagine what he’d do to some guy he didn’t even like. That kind of talk can’t lead to anything good.
