He will when Rick tells them.

How else would he explain Carol's absence?

Rick is not one to lie...he will tell the truth, and exlpain to the group that he exiled her as punishment (the Ricktatorship is back).

This has been my last favorite "first four episodes" of any season....I really hope things improve.


On another note....the walkers with the bloody eyes......are we supposed to infer that they were alive recently, got sick, died and turned?

Or....can the walkers catch the disease and spread it to other walkers and humans?


And finally...the two people they encountered in this episode....they survived for two years into the zombie apocalypse, but just as soon as they encounter Rick...they are dead. Just like the backpacker last season in the episode Clear (the one where they find Morgan). Same thing with the crazy Scottish woman in this season's premier. Apparently Rick is bad luck for strangers.
