"Four Walls and a Roof" is the third episode of the fifth season of AMC's The Walking Dead. It is the fifty-fourth episode of the series overall. It premiered on October 26, 2014. It was written by Angela Kang & Corey Reed and directed by Jeffrey January.
Rick and the group find themselves pitted against some very nasty people, but our group might just have a plan to gain the upper hand.
As Gareth continues to calmly speak to Bob, while walkers growl at them from inside the elementary school they are camping outside of, Bob becomes more and more visibly distressed. Gareth admits here that his group had been leaving the marks on the trees as a way to find their way to/from Terminus. Finally, Bob begins chuckling, then breaks into a laugh as Gareth tries to chastise him for not listening. The rest of the group come over, commenting that Bob has "lost it". Bob, however, gleefully pulls his shirt down, revealing a bite wound on his shoulder, and laughing as he explains that he has been bitten and is therefore "tainted meat". As the members of his group react in horror, Gareth angrily kicks Bob into unconsciousness, while explaining that they will be fine - because they "cooked him".
Sasha exits the church searching for Bob, and, after killing two walkers, is joined by Rick and Tyreese, who take her back inside. Sasha claims that they are being watched by unknown assailants, and angrily confronts Gabriel, accusing him of being involved in Bob's disappearance. Rick pulls her away from Gabriel and calmly confronts Gabriel himself, demanding to know what Gabriel had done in the past to warrant someone writing You will burn for this on the side of his church. Gabriel tearfully reveals that during the beginning of the apocalypse, he denied anyone else entry to the church, allowing them to be killed by the walkers. He tearfully declares that Rick's group has been sent by God to finally punish him. As Rick listens, a faint whistling can be heard coming from outside, and Glenn reports that someone has been left lying in the grass.
Rick's group rushes out to discover Bob lying in the grass with one of his legs missing, and begin carrying him inside as walkers approach. However, the Terminants open fire on them from the trees, and Rick blindly fires off all of his bullets into the trees. As he turns to go back inside, he finds an "A" written in blood on the side of the church, a sign that they were prisoners in there until Gareth decided to kill them.
Inside the church, Bob regains consciousness and reveals that Gareth and five other Terminus survivors are responsible for his missing leg. However, he can only provide vague details on their location. Sasha asks Rosita if they have anything that might ease his pain, but Bob refuses, revealing his bite to the group. As they wonder how long he can survive, Glenn reminds them that Jim survived two days before they left him to turn. Gabriel tells them that they can put Bob on a sofa in his office, and Sasha thanks him.
As Sasha tends to Bob, Rick asks Gabriel if he recognized the place Bob described. He seems reluctant to answer, but admits that it sounds like Bob was being held at an elementary school, which is to the south (and within walking distance) of the church.
Rick meets with the group to discuss their next move. Daryl and Carol are still missing, so he suggests they hunt down Gareth's group. Abraham disagrees, fearing that it will be too difficult keep Eugene safe in such a hostile area. Thus, he believes they should leave immediately. Rick and Abraham begin arguing, and (except for Glenn's intervention) nearly come to blows until Glenn finally gets Abraham to agree to stay for one more half of a day. In exchange, Glenn's guarantees that he, Maggie, and Tara will accompany them to Washington, D.C.
