How does walking dead season 3 end

Tyreese recounts his experience at the prison, and offers to join the fight. Rick, Carl, and Michonne drive to King County, hoping to find more weapons at Rick's former sheriff's station. They encounter Morgan Jones, who has become deranged since Rick last saw him. Morgan nearly kills Rick, until he reminds the unstable man of who he is.

Morgan tells of how he killed his wife after she bit Duane. He says that he couldn't reach Rick on the walkie-talkie, let alone find him. Morgan refuses to go with Rick, insisting that he has to "clear". However, he does allow Rick to take a good amount of guns from his stockpile. While Rick deals with Morgan, Carl goes off to look for something, and reluctantly allows Michonne to follow him. When they reach a bar, Carl reveals his reason to go there: Inside the building is an old photo of his mom.

He wants Judith to one day see what her mother looked like. Michonne help Carl, and together they are able to get the picture. Michonne, Carl and Rick depart. Back on the road they see a freshly killed body, that of a hitchhiker they had left behind earlier. They take his backpack, then continue down the road.

Rick and members of his crew enter a barn where they meet The Governor, Andrea and other members of Woodbury to negotiate a way out of conflict. They two leaders remain wary of each other and question each other's leadership. The Governor demands Rick's surrender or die. However, Philip offers a compromise, bring Michonne to him and Rick and his people will be left alone. Rick has two days to decide.

Outside, Milton scribbles in a notebook, explaining he's making a record of events post-apocalypse. A small group of Walkers approaches. Daryl, Andrea and Martinez take turns killing them, flaunting their combat skills while Milton and Hershel bond. After Rick and Philip exit the barn, the Woodbury group leaves as Rick rustles with the decision to turn Michonne over.

At the prison, Merle packs a duffel bag full of guns and announces his plan to kill The Governor. Merle asks when Glenn tries to stop him. The two brawl, in which Maggie and Michonne intervene, while Beth ends the fight by firing a single shot into the ceiling, without saying a word. As the Governor prepares a torture room for Michonne, Andrea begins to see the true nature of the Governor and attempt to kill him multiple times and fails each time.

She leaves to warn and return to the Survivors only to be captured by The Governor and imprisoned in his torture room. Tyreese and Sasha question their role in Woodbury while Allen and his son are ready for the chance to take the Survivors down for forcing them out when they needed help. After seeing a pit full of Walkers, Tyreese is appalled and nearly kills Allen after arguing with him when the latter recalls his choices.

In the middle of the night, an unknown person douses the pit walkers in gasoline and lights them on fire. Rick tells Daryl about The Governor's offer. Daryl and Hershel try to dissuade Rick from giving up Michonne, but Rick insists it's their best shot at saving lives.

Merle warns that The Governor won't kill Michonne; just torture her. Rick finds cable to bind her but decides to not turn her over. Merle takes matters into his own hands and kidnaps Michonne to deliver her to The Governor.

As they drive on the road, they talk and Merle decides to let Michonne go and take care of The Governor his own way. He succeeds in downsizing his army but is found and killed by Philip.

Back at the prison, Glenn asks Hershel for Maggie's hand in marriage. Hershel gives his blessing. Michonne returns and tells Daryl what happened. Rick gathers the group and discloses The Governor's offer. He concedes that he doesn't want to be the only person making decisions for the group anymore.

Daryl finds his brother as a Walker and put him down while distraught. The Governor brutally beats Milton for torching the pit of walkers and forces him to kill Andrea. When he refuses, Philip stabs him and declares one way or another, Milton will kill Andrea and leaves them in the room.

Andrea attempts to free herself as Milton slowly dies and turns into a Walker. The Governor's army arrives at the prison that apparently has been abandoned.

When they reach the "tombs," the smoke grenades go off and the army is chased away by gunfire. After they get far enough, The Governor tries to get them to go back but they refuse. Angered, he shoots them, including Allen and leaves with Martinez and Shumpert.

Karen, the survivor of the massacre, is found by Rick and the group and they head to Woodbury where they convince Tyreese to let them in. They find Milton dead and Andrea bitten.

After a talk, she asks Rick to let her kill herself before she turns. Rick agrees and Michonne stays with her to the end. Rick brings the rest of Woodbury to live in the prison and is healed mentally and emotionally as he no longer sees his hallucination of Lori.

The Governor and his people stop somewhere in the middle of the road you know which road and have a chat. His people are shellshocked by the shellacking they just got.

They get into the car with the Governor and drive back to town, except they take a new scenic route that adds on several hours to their trip. Tyrese has been told which shrubs need watering. In the torture room, Milton asks Andrea why she stayed at Woodbury.

Going to war really was the best way to ensure the lowest number of causalities it turns out. A dying Milton tells her to hurry. She picks the pliers up with her toes but drops them right before she can grab them with her hands. Milton dies and soon she hears the zombie rasp coming from his throat.

The vast majority of season 2 takes place on the farm of elderly doctor Hershel, also populated by his two daughters Maggie and Beth. The gang head there after Carl is accidentally shot and Carol's daughter Sophia goes missing. Otis, the man who shot Carl, is eventually left for dead by Shane while out on a hunt for supplies.

Carl, meanwhile, eventually recovers from his wounds and Lori discovers she is pregnant. Glenn starts a relationship with Maggie, though a late-night meet-up eventually turns sour after Glenn discovers Hershel's barn is filled with captive walkers. Eventually, the group of survivors decide to open the barn. Inside, Sophia is found, but she's long since died and turned into a walker; Rick kills her reanimated corpse.

Filled with grief, Hershel goes to a nearby bar but is attacked by a gang. Rick and Shane make the save and haul one member, Randall, back to the farm.

Despite debating over his fate, Shane decides to take initiative and secretly kills him. A large group of walkers also descends on the farm — one kills Dale after Carl fails to use it for shooting practice. Finally, Rick kills Shane after it's clear that Shane is becoming more frenzied. Walkers invade the farm and Rick relays the CDC scientist's warning that everyone who dies will turn into a walker.

That's who we get one last glimpse of here. The third season of The Walking Dead opened incredibly strong and while the latter half of the episode run didn't quite live up to that, it's certainly had its moments - the triumphant ' Home ' and the bleak ' Clear ' chief among them. While some characters dwindled - not just Andrea, but also a mishandled Tyreese - others shone. Carl Chandler Riggs was transformed from season two's prepubescent irritant into a young warrior who almost rivals Daryl for sheer bad-assery.
