'Walking Dead' Recap: 'Dead Weight'

Courtesy AMC

BY DENISE PURVIS

I have to apologize for the delay in my recap. I was on a boat until Monday, so I just now got to watch and recap the episode. This recap may seem a little different than my usual because I didn’t “real-time” recap this time, and, to be honest, I am a little shot out right now. I’m not sure if I have vertigo or just a three day hangover. Only time can tell.

This episode continues with last week’s story line of the Governor and his new “family”--Meghan, Lilly, and Tara. Martinez pulls the Governor out of the pit, but later tells him that if it wasn’t for Meghan and the others, he probably wouldn’t have helped him out. Side Note: He probably shouldn't have helped him out.

The two conditions for the Governor and his family to stay in Martinez’s camp are (1) Martinez is in charge and (2) everyone has to help out. You could see an evil twinkle in the Governor’s eye when he said that.

Later the Governor goes on a supply run with Martinez, Pete, and Mitch where they find a headless body tied to a tree that with a sign that reads “Liar,” another that reads “Rapist,” and a last body that has a photo of a three-person family with a sign that reads, “Murderer.” They theorize that the last person is the one that killed the first two. Cue up the music ... is this a parallel to the Governor’s past life?

Sneak Peek at 'The Walking Dead:' 'Dead Weight'

Whether you loved or hated the last episode of "The Walking Dead," it looks like The Governor is sticking around for some more screen time. Thanks to a generous and somewhat telling sneak peek at the next episode, we see "Brian" walking through the woods with Martinez and two other men. They happen upon an unfortunate soul deemed a liar, but where are they? More importantly, or not, where are Tara, Lilly and Megan?

Check out the sneak peek here and let us know what you think of ol' One-Eye's return. Keep watching the embedded video for not only the most talked about scene from last night's "Live Bait," but also some insider goodies. There are seven clips to enjoy!

"Dead Weight" airs next Sunday at 9 pm.m ET on AMC.
