***spoilers!!!!!!
I don't know about any of you but when Dawn shot Beth I screamed so loud I woke up my husband, my dogs and the neighbors dogs. This has to be one of the most tragic losses in the show. Just the way it went down & the way the group is going to grieve. It's absolutely going to take us toll.
I also called the Morgan return at the beginning of the episode and was so happy he found the map.
I don't want to wait til February.
Re: The walking dead SPOILERS!!
I'm watching Talking Dead and the actress that plays her is on and crying which is making me cry again...
Anyone else think the commercials for the mid season premier & the talking dead we're both kind of lame? It was such a fantastic episode, to follow it up with that talking dead & not give us great upcomings was such a let down.
What are your thoughts - do you think Beth knew what she was risking when she went after Dawn? Do you think she did it just to take down the hospital? Seriously she could have just whispered to Daryl or Rick to shoot her!
And did anyone else notice if any of the wards/hospital folk went with the group?

I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
I can't wait for February!! I kind of wanted them to stay at the hospital and set up there. They are always on the run and I just want them to find a safe place. I guess that would make the show pretty boring but I still want them all to survive.
Having said that, it was still a good episode. When Tyrese admitted that he didn't kill Martin I was surprised because the actor appeared on Talking Dead and said Tyrese really thought he'd killed him. It's nice to see that he and Sash still have some of their humanity, but those are the people who end up dead or someone else does as a result of letting bad people live.
Seeing Daryl cry was hard, I don't think he got that emotional when his brother died. I agree that Beth knew what would happen but she should have aimed better. It was a stupid risk to take in such a hostile situation. Maggie's reaction made me want to cry all over again. She didn't react that way when she first found out Beth was gone, but seeing her body made it all the more real.
It was nice to see Morgan at the end but I wonder how he'll even find Rick's group at this point. I'm glad they are all reunited and cannot wait for February.
It's crazy to think that as far as it seems, some of us will have or will be getting ready to have our babies around that time. That makes it seem not that far of a wait.

YES to @Darbie914 about the horrible effing aim. These people spend their lives on the run, constantly stabbing zombies in the skull and Beth hits Dawn in the shoulder? It was so misguided I had to rewind to be sure what happened. @LBeez13 I thought they'd stay at the hospital, too. I can't believe AMC let out a spoiler!
What did Morgan's note say? I couldn't make it out on rewind.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just watched this last night, but I knew what was coming because Facebook spoiled it for me.
DH and I were trying to figure out what Beth meant when she said "I get it now" right before she stabbed Dawn. The best I could come up with is that Dawn used Beth in one way or another to get rid of all of all of the "bad cops" who were a problem for Dawn. At the end, the only bad cop left was Dawn, and Beth took it upon herself to take her out. DH was unconvinced by that, though. Any other theories?
I don't know why she stabbed her in the shoulder through a bulletproof vest. Her neck would have been just as easy. Or like I said before, why didn't she just ask someone to shoot her?
