The Walking Dead season 4 mid-season promotional poster

Season Four of The Walking Dead premiered on October 13, 2013 and consisted of 16 episodes. Melissa McBride (Carol Peletier) and Scott Wilson (Hershel Greene) have been upgraded to series regulars. The fourth season picks up 7-8 months after the events of the third season's finale and sees the remaining survivors build an idyllic, mostly peaceful life inside the heavily barricaded prison that they discovered in the previous season. However, they may now have to deal with the ramifications of a new, non-walker threat on the surviving group.

The third season of the companion series Talking Dead airs immediately after new episodes of the fourth season. The season premiere, "30 Days Without an Accident," became the highest rated scripted program of 2013, surpassing even a post-Superbowl episode of Elementary.

Several months after the events of the previous season's finale and taking in the remaining Woodbury survivors, Rick renounces his leadership and begins to learn husbandry techniques from Hershel. Attempting to mend his relationship with his son Carl, Rick relinquishes his gun and refuses to carry it with him on trips outside of the prison's gated perimeter. When out on an assignment, Rick encounters Clara, a ramshackle woman who begs Rick to help her and husband with food and shelter. After luring a suspicious Rick to her campsite, he discovers that Clara's husband has been turned into a walker and, failing to kill Rick with his knife, stabs herself in order to join her husband. Meanwhile, Daryl leads a small party into an abandoned convenience store for a supply run and are trapped by walkers falling in through the roof. Zach, Beth's boyfriend, is bitten in the leg and dies. Back at the prison, Patrick becomes ill and dies in the shower room trying to cool himself down, reanimating into a walker.

A reanimated Patrick wanders into Cell Block D, turning several residents into walkers. The chaos at Cell Block D is eventually noticed by sunrise, which Rick and the others quickly defuse. Carol starts to amputate the arm of Ryan Samuels when she realizes he has also been bitten in the neck, and instead calls for his children so that they can say goodbye. After the Council hypothesizes that the likely cause is an aggressive flu strain, they start to quarantine everyone who they believe to be infected, including Karen. A discovery that someone has been feeding the walkers with rats is quickly interrupted by a greatly increased number of walkers starting to break down the outer fence of the compound. Rick sacrifices his pigs to lead the walkers away from the fence. As Rick is dismantling his pig pen, Carl tells his father that Carol is secretly teaching the children how to use weapons, and Rick agrees not to tell their parents. Knowing that the situation at the prison is quickly escalating, Rick gives Carl's gun back to him. When Tyreese goes to quarantine to deliver flowers to Karen, he discovers that Karen's body has been burnt.

Tyreese gets into an physical altercation with Rick when he confronts him and Daryl about Karen's death. When the infection spreads to more survivors, including Sasha and Glenn, Hershel mentions a nearby veterinary school to Daryl and Michonne that would still carry antibiotics. Hershel and Carl encounter hurt walkers while outside the fence and Carl decides to shoot one before being discouraged by Hershel. Maggie, still distraught about Glenn's illness, yells at her dad for risking his life entering the quarantine zone and caring for the sick. Daryl, Michonne, Tyreese, and Bob drive to the veterinary school and hear a garbled voice on the radio speaking about "sanctuary." Distracted, Daryl drives into a horde of walkers that immobilizes their car, and the group plans an exit strategy for getting out. Tyreese, still furious about the nature of Karen's death, takes longer to escape from the car, prompting the others to leave without him. After the group escapes into a clearing, they see a wounded Tyreese emerging from the woods. Back at the prison, Rick helps Carol when she is ambushed by a group of walkers whilst outside fixing the water supply. When they both make it back inside the fence, Rick confronts Carol about Karen's death. Carol admits that she killed Karen and David to protect the infection from spreading and that there's nothing she wouldn't do to ensure the safety and survival of the other survivors.

While escaping, Bob's secret is revealed to the others when his bag accidentally opens up after trying to protect it from walkers. Back at the prison, Rick asks Carol for her help with a supply run. During the run, they encounter a couple named Sam and Ana and agree to take them in after helping with a search of the remaining houses. Later, Rick and Carol find Ana's body being eaten by walkers and Sam fails to show up at their designated return time.

As that happens, the exterior fence barricade falls to an overproliferation of walkers. Rick and Carl escape into the interior barricade to safely kill the invading walkers. After the attacks subside, the veterinary school group returns to administer medicine to the surviving infected.

Continuing the flashback from the previous episode, the Governor and the Chamblers decide to join the group of survivors led by Martinez. When Martinez invites the Governor to hit a round of golf balls with him from the top of his camper, he confides in the Governor his doubts that he can keep the camp safe by himself.

On the return trip, the three of them discover that the camp has been ransacked and all the survivors murdered. Deciding on his next move, the Governor kills the more pacifist Pete and forms a deal with Mitch to help him lead the remaining survivors.

The Governor captures Michonne and Hershel and uses them as leverage to convince his group that they can take over the prison peacefully. In the prison, Tyreese starts to tell Rick and Daryl about his suspicions of a murderer inside the prison but they are quickly interrupted by an explosion. They see the Governor and his group standing outside the fence barricades with Michonne and Hershel. The Governor demands to speak with Rick and gives Rick's group the opportunity to escape from the prison unscathed. Rick tries to appeal to the Governor by offering co-habitation of both groups, but the Governor rejects the offer and partially decapitates Hershel using Michonne's sword, catalyzing a firefight between the two groups. Hershel and Michonne try to run away, but the Governor finds Hershel and kills him. As this happens, Lilly and Meghan are left behind in a presumably safe area near a river, but Meghan is attacked and bitten by a walker buried in a mud pile. Lilly rushes a dying Meghan to the prison and the Governor shoots her in the head before she can reanimate. The Governor's group continue to rush into the prison, having broken down the prison barricades with the tank. As they enter, the Governor is ambushed by a wounded Rick and the two of them get into a fistfight where the Governor quickly gains an advantage over Rick. The rest of the prison group splits up into groups and some of them escape into the prison bus, but Maggie stays behind to look for Beth. In another part of the prison, Tyreese is trapped by two members of the Governor's group but is helped when Lizzie shoots both of them. Meanwhile, Daryl overcomes a group of attacking walkers and manages to blow up the tank with a grenade before killing a surrendering Mitch. As the Governor is about to kill Rick, Michonne stabs him in the back and the two of them escape. Rick finds Carl killing the remaining walkers and they find Judith's bloodied baby carrier as they retreat from the prison. Distraught, Rick and Carl decide to escape on their own. Lilly finds the heavily wounded Governor alone outside the prison and shoots him in the head.
