How lucky is Carl? Sure, he suffered a shotgun blast to the midsection, but the overweight hunter who did it happens to live with a doctor! Wait, he’s not a doctor? Huh. OK, Carl isn’t lucky at all.

But, seriously, what a good opportunity for future father-son bonding. Better than anything a front porch, a sunset and even the most banana-handed fistful of Werther’s Originals could ever facilitate. Now Carl and dad Rick are both gunshot victims. And Lori is basically responsible for both.

A flashback (thank God these are used sparingly) ‘splains that while Rick was out upholding the law and getting his guts pumped fulla lead, Lori was sitting around jawing with a girlfriend about what an annoying husband he is because he doesn’t fight with her good enough (women, right?).

Argue with then badmouth your cop husband, and something terrible’s bound to happen. Samesies for confidently letting your son out of your sight during a zombie apocalypse.
