The third season begins several months after the group escaped the
farm: Lori is in the final days of her pregnancy, and they stumble upon
an overrun prison which they begin converting into their new home. While
searching the place for supplies, Hershel is bitten by a walker and
Rick is forced to amputate his leg. They soon meet a new group of
survivors, who are prison inmates. In exchange for food, Rick's group
clears out a different cellblock for the inmates (most of whom end up
killed) to reside away from Rick's group. A walker breakout then splits
up the group. T-Dog is bitten in the struggle and sacrifices himself to
save Carol. Lori goes into labor and insists that Maggie perform an
emergency Caesarean section
to save the baby. The operation kills Lori, and Carl is forced to shoot
her to prevent reanimation. After several days of mourning, Carl and
Rick name the baby Judith.
Meanwhile, Michonne and Andrea are taken to the town of Woodbury, a safe haven from the walkers. They meet the Governor, the town's leader, and learn that Merle Dixon
- Daryl's older brother - has taken refuge there as well. Michonne is
immediately suspicious of the Governor and the settlement and decides to
leave, but Andrea refuses to go with her. Merle is ordered to hunt down
Michonne, but only manages to wound her; he subsequently captures
Maggie and Glenn while they are out scavenging. Michonne, who witnessed
their abduction, eventually arrives at the prison, then guides Rick,
Daryl, and Oscar (one of the inmates) back to Woodbury on a rescue
mission. The team saves the couple, but Oscar is killed and Daryl is
captured. Michonne stays briefly and attempts to slay the Governor, only
to kill his undead daughter Penny (whom the Governor had kept chained
in a back room of his apartment) and stab him in the eye with a piece of
broken glass during a scuffle. In the aftermath, the Governor calls an
assembly and publicly accuses Merle of treason, reuniting him with Daryl
in front of the angry mob. Rick and Maggie come back and rescue them,
but after regrouping outside of town Daryl decides to leave with Merle.
