There have been way less people in the groups highlighted dealing with a lack of meds from chronic illness than would happen in real life. Fuck I watched a few seasons of Goldrush and every other motherfucker is addicted to oxycontin.

At first I was all "Do it - Do it now before someone else dies!" and I was half expecting it to end there while covered in blood with a split second decision but then it calmed down and got all "Just look at the flowers" and it got very Old Yeller and was actually pretty moving all things considered.
It's certainly the least dumb episode in ages.

I just finished watching it myself. I agree. This episode was way better than the last one. I find the climax a little...unbelievable...(spoiler alert- do not read further) if she was that bad I don't think she could have been functional for that time and it would have been a much bigger issue earlier.
I agree with you about them stretching things out. I find that very annoying. I know they need to get people hooked but it makes me just want to not watch it until the season is over and then watch all episodes in one marathon.
The show is still a bit too much on the drama side. My preference is more Zombie action. If I wanted a soap opera there are many other choices. I still like the show. If they keep it like this episode I won't complain too much. But some of the other ones...ugh.
