"Cherokee Rose" is the fourth episode of the second season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series ''The Walking Dead'', which aired on AMC in the United States on November 6, 2011. The episode was written by Evan Reilly and directed by Billy Gierhart. In the episode, the group of survivors move to the home of Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson). While the group contemplates on what to do, Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) continues to search for Sophia Peletier (Madison Lintz). Major themes in "Cherokee Rose" includes Daryl Dixon's gradual change into a lighter character and the beginning of his close relationship with Carol Peletier and the developing romantic relationship between Maggie and Glenn. Principal photography for the episode commenced in Coweta County, Georgia, where filming locations were set up in an abandoned late nineteenth century Gothic revival home in Senoia, Georgia and in downtown Sharpsburg, Georgia. During a sequence in the episode, the survivors pull a bloated zombie—commonly referred to by the group as a "walker"—out of a water well, ultimately leading to the walker splitting apart. Greg Melton, the series' production designer, collaborated with KNB Efx Group in producing the scene. Filming for the sequence arose over an approximate period of two days. "Cherokee Rose" was well received by television critics, who praised the episode's storylines and character development. Upon initial airing, it garnered 6.29 million viewers and attained a 3.4 rating in the 18–49 demographic, according to Nielsen ratings. "Cherokee Rose" became the highest-rated cable program of the day, as well as the second highest-rated cable program of the week. ==Plot== Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) recovers from his operation to remove fragments of a bullet, which he had received earlier when encountering a deer. He asks his father Rick (Andrew Lincoln) if his friend Sophia Peletier (Madison Lintz) is alright. Since Sophia is still missing, Rick reluctantly lies to Carl and tells him that she is fine. Dale Horvath (Jeffrey DeMunn), Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), Andrea (Laurie Holden) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) move the vehicles and set up camp at the Greene home and are introduced to the Greene family. There, they lead a funeral procession for their ranch hand, Otis (Pruitt Taylor Vince). Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) is asked to share Otis' final moments; Shane sticks to his lie that Otis had sacrificed his life to save Carl, while in reality Shane betrayed Otis. Along with Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson) and his daughter Maggie (Lauren Cohan), the group organize Sophia's search. Since Shane is still injured and Rick is too weak from blood loss, Daryl ventures out on his own. Daryl eventually finds an abandoned house, but does not locate Sophia. He finds a cherokee rose, which is a Native American sign in which the gods protected their children, and gives it to Carol. Maggie directs Dale and Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas (IronE Singleton) to a nearby freshwater well, only to find a bloated zombie—commonly referred by the group as a "walker"—inside. Shane, Maggie, Andrea, Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies) and Glenn (Steven Yeun) join the two; the group concludes that shooting it might further contaminate the water. They then decide to use Glenn as live bait and harness the walker to a rope to drag it out of the well. After a slight mishap, Glenn manages to saddle the walker. The group manages to pull the walker to the top of the well, but it becomes stuck at the top. Attempting to pull the walker free causes the walker's body to get ripped in half, with the lower body, fluid, and organs spilling back into the well, contaminating the water. T-Dog then kills the walker with an axe. Maggie and Glenn decide to venture to the local pharmacy to find more supplies. Before he leaves, Lori asks Glenn to search for something in the feminine hygiene section. At the pharmacy, Glenn discovers the item is a pregnancy test. When Maggie asks him what he's looking for, he tries to make an excuse and accidentally grabs a box of condoms. Maggie then seduces and has sex with Glenn. Rick and Hershel tour the farmland, where Hershel reveals that the group has to leave once Carl fully recovers. Rick manages to convince Hershel for the group to stay for the meantime. However, there are rules they must follow. Rick pleads with Hershel to not force them to leave and to reconsider his request. Later on, Rick is up in the room where Carl is recovering in bed. Once Carl wakes up, Rick admits that he lied to him about Sophia; Carl reveals that his mother already told him the truth. Meanwhile, the pregnancy test reveals that Lori is pregnant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cherokee Rose (The Walking Dead)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
