Maggie, on the other hand, has gone off in search of her one true love, Glenn.

His kiss, momentarily, goes unrequited, but as the trio reunite along the tracks, it looks like there's hope for these two yet. Not only does he attempt to push Sasha along on their quest in order to find Maggie and help her find Glenn on their way to the gathering place, but he pulls out a rarely scene bit of romance on this show. Bob, however, is surprisingly optimistic about pushing on towards Terminus. He's alive until next week at least.) This Terminus, which has begun reaching mythic proportions among the scattered survivors, is her fear manifest, so if she avoids the place, she can avoid the finality of learning of Tyreese's fate.

Throughout the course of the episode, we learn that Sasha isn't worried so much about meeting death at the hands of Walkers in the forest as she is about finding out for certain that her brother Tyreese has died. "Alone" served to expose Bob's backstory every bit as much as it acted to flesh out Sasha's ( Sonequa Martin-Green) personality more. Not suspect at all, right? Tonight's theme of being alone was established by Bob's story, and then carried along strongly for the rest of the hour. We learned (or, possibly, were merely reminded) that Bob's former two groups of survivors all ended up dead, with only him surviving. Tonight's cold open introduced viewers to Bob before meeting up with Rick's gang during the occupation of the prison. What about Bob? Bob Stookey ( Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) has been one of the strangest characters on The Walking Dead , mostly because we know very little about him aside from his medical training and battle with alcoholism.
