[WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW]
When last episode (30 Days Without An Accident) ended Patrick was dead from what seemed like some disease and was about to turn into a hungry zombie in the prison while everyone was sleeping. You know tremendous carnage is about to take place. Unfortunately, you also know that when an episode is short on plot development, there's sure to be more plenty of blood and guts to compensate.
The episode opens up with an unknown person feeding the outside zombies with rats. What's that about? Cut to Tyreese, tenderly making out with Karen. After he starts singing "I've got you under my skin," she says she's embarrassed and leaves to let him get some rest. She heads down to where Patrick died. Cue the eerie slasher music. She hears a noise and pulls some curtains back only to find there's nothing there. As she walks towards Cell Block D, zombie Patrick comes to life and starts following her. He strolls along like a typical walker until he turns into a room and hears someone wheezing. (Are they infected too?) He enters and chomps down on a man's neck, blood gushing upwards. Since he didn't try to flee, I'm assuming he was just about dead already from the mysterious illness.
Gross out quotient.
We come back from commercial with Patrick swimming in intestines.
