Excerpts

BELOW: Hershel Greene is furous when he finds his 19-year-old daughter in bed with Glenn: Hershel Greene is portrayed as a fairly religious man, one of the most overtly religious characters thus far in "The Walking Dead" series. He has been generous to Rick Grimes' and his band of zombie apocalypse survivors in allowing them to stay on his property and in his family's home. It is not surprising that he is furious when he finds his daughter in bed with a member of Rick's group.

Hershel Greene is furous when he finds his 19-year-old daughter in bed with Glenn

Hershel: Maggie, I-- What the hell are you doing?!

Glenn: Oh, sir! Uh... I really didn't want--your daughter and I-- We-- I'm sorry!

Hershel: Not yet you aren't!

Maggie: Daddy-- No!

Hershel: And you! What have you done, Maggie? Lacey, Arnold, and Shawn haven't been in the ground twenty-four hours and you're doing this? You make me sick!

Glenn: Hey!

Maggie: Glenn and I are in love, Daddy. I wanted to tell you before but I just couldn't! We love each other and there's nothing you can do about that. I'm nineteen! I'm old enough to do whatever I want! He slept here last night because I asked him to. I--I just... I've never slept alone in this room before! I couldn't-- Not with Lacey gone. I needed somebody to be here.
