Quick recap

Eight months later, Rick's group takes over a prison and settles in. Lori dies giving birth to Judith, T-Dog dies too, and Rick falls apart. Andrea and Michonne end up in Woodbury, a town run by the Governor, who keeps walker heads in fish tanks. Merle, now on his side, kidnaps Glenn and Maggie, and Rick storms Woodbury to get them back. Merle tries to kill the Governor on his own and dies. The Governor's final assault on the prison fails. Andrea is held captive and dies after being bitten by Milton, who has turned. Enraged, the Governor guns down his own people and flees with Martinez and Shumpert. Rick brings Woodbury's survivors to the prison. The Governor is still out there.
