Significant others reacting poorly to seeing their partner use violence is a real thing, even when it's justifiable. I'm talking about fist fights or self defense shootings. Let alone beating multiple men to death with a soup can. The fact she bailed after that is believable human behavior and not necessarily because he was a wife beater. In fact if he was a wife beater the co dependent psychology would have made it less likely for her to leave.

Eugene revealed he had AIDS at the end of the episode, much to the shock of the rest of the group.

Wait I thought Abe had the AIDS and by punching Eugene with his hosed up hand, now Eugene might have it to?

I'd be pretty pissed if dude used the only source of water to wipe out zombies when it's been pretty clearly established literally every character in that group besides Eugene can handle themselves with a gang of zombies even bigger than that, but wasting water seems to be a ripe tradition in the walking dead universe.

Not sure the stuff in that truck would be that clean, to be honest. The stuff in the bottled water tank is pasturized, so it's good bottled up for some time. The poo poo in that truck came from a hydrant and sat in that tank for god knows how long

Why was the warning about the dead people in the firehouse written on the ground facing towards the firetruck, and not out towards the street or on the building?

Also why were there tires stacked on the inside of that door?

Maybe if you tried paying attention to the loving show you'd know it's the other way around. Eugene has it and they have to get to DC before he dies. Abraham was so mad that he saw his wife instead of Eugene standing there and he started swinging without even thinking.

That was pretty small compared to the herds in the books. Its literally depicted like a mosh pit at a Justin bieber concert. The closest thing we've seen to it was when michonne, Bob, and Daryl went for antibiotics.

What if Eugene gets eaten and then the zombies get his AIDS and spread that around to all the other zombies and then all the zombies die from AIDS?

Then he can still be the savior of humanity.

I think one of the first times they encountered a herd in the books was the best. Some of them were driving back to the main group and came over a hill, much like in the scene in the show, and there's just thousands of walkers all around the valley that the highway dips in to. They get through that or around it, I forget, and when they tell the group about it the group's like, "well let's board up these windows and wait it out," and the people that saw it explain that, no, they have to leave now, because there's so many walkers there won't be a house standing there after they leave.

The note on the ground outside the fire station said "Sick Inside," but they don't tell us WHAT they were sick with. Either AIDS or the Milhouse Flu, is my guess.

I originally thought it was a hostage situation and Abe was rescuing them, but then I realized that neither the wife nor the kids had their hands and feet bound like captives (which they would if the guys Abe beat to a pulp were the captors). They were just huddled behind a counter when Abe found them. That's what made me ditch the hostage hypothesis and go with the next most likely explanation for why the woman had a black eye. But it's also possible the scene was designed poorly.

Anyway, I don't think it matters that much, as I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

You guys are loving tripping if you're even gonna try to say Abe is a decent guy

Have you not watched the way Abe talks to and manhandles Eugene when he is stressed? All in the name of protecting him. He pushes people hard and goes ballistic at the drop of a hat even when logic says they should take a breather.

The show is pointing out clearly there is something very wrong with him.

Yeah, shoulda added "beginning of". There was a good sized one in the first episode when Rick turns that corner in Atlanta. Nothing but a shoulder to shoulder wall of zombies

No, she never got her sword back, that's a 9-iron that Darryl picked up at the country club last season. Which doesn't make any sense because a 3-wood would be so much better at bashing in zombie skulls.

Didn't she grab her sword off one of the Terminus guys after they killed them, in the church? She picked it up and gave kind of a wiry smile - not sure if she walked away with it. It was a blink and you missed it moment.
