Attack on Woodbury
Michonne informs Rick that Glenn & Maggie were taken captive to Woodbury. Rick forms a search team consisting of Daryl, Oscar, Michonne, and himself to go out to rescue their friends. They sneak into Woodbury, knock out a guard and find Maggie and Glenn about to be escorted away. They are rescued and a gunfight ensues in the streets, leaving several guards dead.

Meanwhile, Michoone has snuck into Philip's apartment and awaits him, but hears noises from his secret room. She finds the zombified Penny and gets into a fight with Philip after she kills her. Before he can choke her to death, she stabs him in the eye with a glass shard from the knocked over fish tanks.

Back in the streets, Oscar helps Maggie and Glenn climb over the back gate, but is shot by a guard who Rick hallucinates as Shane. The attack ends with the group successfully escaped, though Daryl has been captured and brought to the arena where the entire town screams for his death, along with Merle's, who has been labeled as a terrorist.

As of "Made to Suffer", at least six guards were killed, along with Warren, reducing the town's population to 63 or less, with a 64th on the way.
