The Still Alives go investigate the barn. Shane sticks his face up to a crack in the wooden siding and a gross zombie eye stares right back at him. Shane is full of vim and vigor. “We either have to go in there and make things right, or leave,” he announces. But how can they leave when Sophia is still out there, a million days later, because clearly she is still magically surviving in a forest filled with hungry zombies? Daryl insists that they stay. He and Shane fight about it. They get all riled up and make lots of noise so the barn zombies definitely know there’s human-food right outside the barn. Rick needs to talk to Hershel before they do anything about Zombie Barn, because, after all, it is Hershel’s barn and they are Hershel’s zombies.
The program is geared toward people interested in learning more about organic gardening or farming, raising animals, alternative energy, making wine or cheese, or just about anything having to do with living a self-sufficient life.
Uncle Dale explains that Hershel thinks the zombies in the barn are sick people, illin’ like villains with a disease. He has known about Zombie Barn since last night but didn’t say anything because Glen wanted to share the news with the group. Besides, they’ve been surviving just fine next to Zombie Barn for this long, so why stir things up? It’s just a barn, full of zombies, no bigsy. The zombies must know the Still Alives are talking about them because they start shoving against the barn door and making snarling noises. After the credits, Shane stares at Zombie Barn, jiggles the chain holding the door closed and makes his patented angry face.

“In South Carolina so far, we have been very lucky,” she says. “We haven’t had a serious poultry disease to deal with. Our neighbors have. Virginia and North Carolina both had a mild strain of avian influenza in 2002, which seriously affected many poultry farms. That outbreak brought about the development of the current national avian influenza monitoring program and all the education we’ve been doing and that the USDA has been doing.”
Kathy Keaton, a member of the organization’s board, said the flags are intended to encourage all of us to “look up to and remember our veterans who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.”
