Quick recap

Months later, the prison has become a community and Rick has traded leadership for farming. A deadly flu spreads, and Carol kills two sick people to contain it; Rick exiles her. The Governor, now with a new group, hits the prison with a tank and kills Hershel. The Governor dies in the battle, but the prison falls and everyone scatters. Rick, Carl and Michonne stick together. Glenn searches for Maggie and meets Abraham, Eugene and Rosita, who claim to have a cure. Beth is taken away by a mysterious car. Daryl travels with the Claimers until they attack Rick, who kills their leader with his teeth. Everyone follows signs to Terminus, which promises sanctuary. There, they end up locked in a train car.
