Merle hunts down Michonne with a three-man team, but she surprises them, killing Tim and Crowley and only Merle and the rookie Gargulio survive. Rick receives a phone call from a woman that tells that her group is in a safe place far away and Rick asks to join them telling that he has a baby. Two hours later, Rick is contacted by a man and after a short conversation, the stranger hangs up and Rick tells only to Hershel. Andrea stays in Woodbury and asks to stay on the watch on the wall. When a walker comes, she jumps to stab the zombie and the Governor tells her that she can not work on the wall again. They drink whiskey and have a love affair.

Merle and Gargulio proceed their hunting and when they find Michonne, they are attacked by walkers and the wounded Michonne escapes. Merle decides to lie to the Governor, telling that they had murdered Michonne. Gargulio does not agree and Merle kills his colleague.

Meanwhile Daryl goes with Carl and a prisoner to check the cell block and he has a great surprise. Rick receives a third call and the woman surprisingly knows his name and on the next call, he discovers with whom he is talking to. Michonne sees Maggie and Glenn in a town searching for powdered milk and supplies; out of the blue, they are surprised by Merle.

"Hounded" is another spectacular episode of the Third Season of The Walking Dead. The story begins with a creepy "go back" left by Michonne. Rick's dialog has a surprising conclusion. Andrea has sex with the Governor and let's see how she will handle with that in the future. Daryl has a pleasant surprise. But the fate of Glenn and Maggie is the most intriguing part. How can the sweet Daryl have a despicable brother like Merle? My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Hounded"

Note: On 11 April 2016, I saw this show again.

At the prison Rick is talking on the phone with a mysterious person. They don't say where there located, they just say there in a safe place. Rick tries to discuss with them, but they say they will call him back later. SPOILER!!!!! as the episode progresses it is revealed that Rick is merely imagining the voices, because the next voice that comes on is Laurie.

Meanwhile Merle and his crew are sent to hunt after Michonne. Lets just say she controls the situation. This is probably my favorite episode with Michonne. Meanwhile A sexual tension between The Governor and Andrea begin to rise.

This is an episode that really tugs at the emotional heart strings. ^ out of 10.

Two worlds are starting to collide. We knew it was going to have to happen, being that the prison world and the Woodbury world are seemingly too safe. The conflict is starting to dissipate as safety seems like a possibility for both groups and life is starting to find a quo. Eventually, these two groups were going to have to find each other, especially with the links between the groups in Merle and Andrea.

But I couldn't have guessed we would see this conflict become imminent so quickly. With a second season that took 13 full episodes to get through the life of one group on the farm, it didn't seem like we would be moving at any quick pace ever again. But season three of The Walking Dead is starting to resemble season one much more than season two.

Take the sixth episode of the season, titled "Hounded." The episode begins with Merle and three of his Woodbury cronies chasing after Michonne in the woods. Planning to not let her get away, Michonne surprises the group by dropping out of the trees and slaying two of the men immediately. Michonne quickly escapes from Merle, but gets shot in the leg in the process. The hunt continues after the credits, but Michonne is the one doing the hunting. She wants to put an end to Merle and his last partner, a new recruit that the Governor wants Merle to teach the ropes to. But on Michonne's second attack, she is unable to kill either men and barely escapes a zombie attack in the process. She cuts the stomach open on one of the geeks and has herself covered in walker guts as she scrambles to escape again. When Merle decides that the pair of men will head back to Woodbury and claim that they killed Michonne, the other man says he wants to hunt her down and end it for real. But Merle won't have that. He pulls out his gun, and takes down his last Woodbury partner in cold blood.

Meanwhile, in the prison, Rick has taken a phone call from someone who claims she is in a safe place and has been calling random numbers to find out if anyone is alive. But Rick's conversations are consistently cut short. Apparently, the people on the other end are worried Rick can trace their call or something, because they seem hasty to get off the phone with Rick as soon as possible. Strange considering this is probably one of the few calls they made that someone has actually picked up on the other end. Rick comes back to the group and cleans himself up, but quickly returns to the phone's side, waiting for its next ring. When Herschel comes in to confront Rick about how he is doing, Rick continuously pushes him away, unwilling to share any of his thoughts or feelings.

In another corridor of the prison, Darryl and Carl bond over a lovely subject: the brutal death of each of their mothers. Darryl tells Carl a story of when he came across his mother's death in a house fire and the pain he felt, and consoles Carl in the pain and sorrow the little boy holds back so bravely. But even when remembering the death of his mother, Darryl's attention is on finding the body of Carol, who he clearly had affection for. Eventually, Darryl comes across a zombie that has Carol's knife in his throat, and he starts to find hope again. Perhaps Carol is still alive somewhere.

Back in Woodbury, The Governor and Andrea play the 'we are mad at each other, but care about each other' flirt game and we gag along as Andrea slowly gets drunker both literally and in the seduction of The Governor. Eventually, the secretly cruel leader has her undressed and in bed with him. There really isn't any other updates necessary for this story. There is a lot of talk between the pair, but it ends exactly where we would have expected it: the dumb Andrea being taken to bed by the overpowering male figure. Andrea is so frustrating as she consistently tries to show that she is a strong woman that can survive on her own, but somehow she finds herself swept away by a man of power.

Rick's fighting his own demons in form of phone calls. He finally come to terms with it and decides to hold the baby for the first time. Daryl discover Carol undernourished and weak. Andrea becomes closes to Phillip and Michonnes is wanted by Merle and his group to be killed and decapitated by orders of The Governor. Merle meet with Glenn and Maggie and threat them to say where is the prison. I liked how Rick had recieved some phone calls in a type of delusion of all the previous friends of him that died. They were in a better place that could be considered the heaven. Lori helps him to realize that he have two childs and the rest with him.

"Gargulio" -Merle Dixon. Underrated episode. Such a great opening scene of Merle, Gargulio, Tim and Crowley chasing Michonne down IN THE WOODS which happened over time in different scenes. Rick's hallucinations really showed how much Lori's death affected him. That one girl that Andrea was with on the wall was so pathetic. That b**** could not do it. Shane and Andrea was enough. We didn't need to see Andrea and The Governor. Seeing Merle take Glenn and Maggie was the main big thing that happened. They both could have shot him though. Daryl finding Carol was a great scene. Rick seeing Michonne at the end was a great cliffhanger.

This episode is interesting as it does indeed answer some questions. However, a major mistake makes this episode sort of unwatchable from the get go: When Rick gets a phone call and they won't say where they are calling from, he's upset when they hang up. Here are the mistakes: 1. ANYONE who ever had a rotary phone, ESPECIALLY a Law Enforcement Officer, knows to dial *69 to make a callback to that number.

2. There isn't a direct line to any office in a prison, Police Station, or Sheriff's Office that doesn't go through a Dispatcher or Switchboard, so how would anyone just dial random numbers to reach Rick?

All this makes the phone call very suspicious.

The Walking Dead episode Hounded is not a bad episode. The main plot device is when Merle comes across Glen and Maggie. The viewer knows the Merle event is the crux of the story, because the meeting makes the conflict between the Governor and Rick will be inevitable. The characters in each other's camps will stir up the drama. The way Hounded ends leaves the viewer wanting to know more. If you are going to miss a episode of the Walking dead Hounded is not the one. I give Hounded a six out of ten. A good storyline but not much in crazy science fiction action. The viewer can not wait for Merle and the Governor to get their just desserts. I hope the two will get eating by zombies.

As usual, this episode is also a good one too. At least, Rick could come out of it. But there are some doubtable things in this episode.

What I don't get is those people who contacted Rick saying that they know Rick. Rick predicted that they are Lori, Amy and etc. But those people were already dead. Especially Amy. Amy turned into zombie and Andrea killed her. We all saw that. So, how the hell they all are alive? I think it's a mystery. I can't wait to find out about that.

Merle can't change, can he? His brother Daryl became a good guy and he's still an asshole. I think some people are bad even they are brother to each other.

I really don't like Andrea more and more. Mich said the governor guy cannot be trusted and she's just slept with him. I'm like what's wrong with her? I kind of even hate her.

With Glenn and Maggie have been captured, there will be some interesting in the next episode. I want to see how they will be rescued. I can't wait for it. All in all, this episode is also an interesting one.
