The Walking Dead episode 911 recap: Bounty
Outside, the Whisperer baby starts crying and Alpha looks at the mother and shrugs. The mother looks horrified but she lowers the baby to the ground, uncovering it. Alden struggles against his restraints, saying “baby.” Alpha shrugs again and says that it’s natural selection. If the mother can’t keep the baby quiet, the walkers will.
Dog tracks Henry to the woodpile, which is where the kids sneak out. Addie thinks she knows where Henry is taking Lydia, and Enid wants to go because Henry will listen to her, and it’s the only way she can help get Alden back. Daryl agrees to let them go.
Tara and the others are making noise at the wall to keep the walkers from getting to the crying baby. Luke signs to Connie, who makes a run for the child. She takes out a walker with her slingshot before grabbing the baby. Alpha doesn’t move to stop her because the dead are giving chase. Connie makes it back to the corn and everything goes silent as she flees the walkers with the crying baby. Without being able to hear, the walkers pop up out of nowhere and she fights them off. Just when she’s about to be surrounded, Daryl rushes in with Kelly and Tammy Rose, and together they help Connie and the baby to safety.
Jerry opens up the projector and finds a bulb. Diane holds the flashlight so he can take it out. He notes that they’re very fragile.
Ezekiel needs Carol’s help with a side mission on his side mission. He wants the marquee to display the charter that gets signed at the fair. Carol tells him not to get his hopes up, and she suggests talking to Jesus. (Remember, she doesn’t know that Jesus is dead yet) The walkers are making their entrance so they have to work fast.
Jerry grabs the bulb and they start to leave, but then they are ambushed by a walker. Naturally, Jerry drops the bubble-wrapped bauble into a shaft.
Lydia tells Henry that it feels weird to be dressed normal again. She looks around the cabin and tells Henry that her mother broke her own rules to find her. Lydia wonders if she’s sorry, but Henry puts a stop that that line of thinking. They hear voices and Henry goes outside to find Addie and Enid. Enid pleads with him that the only way to get Alden and Luke back is to give her up. He doesn’t think it’s fair. Enid says that when she was his age she saw her parents die and everything became about surviving. And then Carl died, and he left her a letter that just surviving isn’t living. She finally understands that it means that you survive by being who you are. Lydia comes out and tells Henry that it’s ok, that she has to go. She says she wants to be with her mother and her people. She misses them, and she will miss Henry, but he’ll be okay. She kisses Henry goodbye.
