"Secrets" is the sixth episode of the second season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series ''The Walking Dead''. It originally aired on AMC in the United States on November 20, 2011. In this episode, Glenn (Steven Yeun) tells Dale Horvath (Jeffrey DeMunn) that Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies) is pregnant and there are numerous walkers in the Greene barn. Dale confronts Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson) about hoarding walkers in his barn. Meanwhile, Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) attempts to teach Andrea (Laurie Holden) how to use weapons and Lori agonizes over the decision to terminate her pregnancy or keep the baby. The episode was written by Angela Kang and directed by David Boyd. "Secrets" touches on various themes, including abortion, romance, and confession. In preparation for filming, producers initially converted a vacant building in downtown Sharpsburg, Georgia into a temporary pharmacy in July 2011. Principal photography for the episode occurred a month later in August. "Secrets" attained mostly positive reception from critics, who praised the character development and the storyline progression. The episode attracted criticism from political commentators, who denounced the show for its misleading perception of emergency contraception. Upon airing, "Secrets" garnered 6.08 million viewers and a 3.1 rating in the 18–49 demographic, according to Nielsen ratings. It became the second highest-rated cable program of the day, as well as the fourth most-viewed cable program of the week. ==Plot== The episode opens with Carl (Chandler Riggs), who has fully recovered from his injuries, helping his mother Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) feed chickens on the Greene farm. Meanwhile Patricia (Jane McNeill) breaks the legs of several chickens, puts them into a potato sack, and carries them to the barn to feed the walkers who are being kept there. Maggie (Lauren Cohan) begs Glenn (Steven Yeun), already struggling with being the only one to know about Lori's pregnancy, to keep secret the presence of walkers in the barn. Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) quickly notices Glenn's nervousness who, after being questioned, blurts out both secrets. He checks on Lori and promises her that he will not tell anyone about her pregnancy. Afterwards, Dale confronts Hershel about the walkers in the barn. Hershel asserts that all walkers are still people, and that they are just ill. He explains that among the walkers in the barn are his wife and stepson. Dale argues that they are not human beings, and explains that they are too dangerous to be kept alive based on what he has seen. Hershel however considers killing the walkers to be atrocious. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Lori argue about how to tell the group of Hershel's (Scott Wilson) refusal to let them stay on the farm once they get back on their feet. Meanwhile Rick, Shane and T-Dog (IronE Singleton) give gun training to Jimmy, Carl and the women on the farm. Shane decides to take Andrea for advanced training lessons after she impresses him with her shooting skills. Despite her previous prowess she proves unable to shoot a moving target. Shane attempts to motivate Andrea by mentioning Amy, Andrea's late sister, but instead upsets her and she storms off. Glenn and Maggie go off to the pharmacy to pick up additional medical supplies for Lori. Glenn, like Dale, expresses his opinion that the walkers need to be killed. Maggie is annoyed at his use of the word "walker", saying that she knows those in the barn by their real names, as they were her friends and family. In the pharmacy, Maggie is attacked and nearly bitten while retrieving the supplies—she narrowly escapes after Glenn kills the walker. After returning to the farm, angry Maggie confronts Lori, who she blames for the near-death of Glenn and her. After he intervenes, Maggie tells him that she does care about him and that the rest of the group do not respect him, only using him as "walker bait". Glenn, however, tells Lori that he is her friend, and again urges her to tell Rick about the pregnancy. Unwilling to bring a child into a world that she sees as without joy, Lori takes the morning after pills Glenn gave her, but immediately goes away from the camp and throws them up. At the same time Rick enters the tent and finds the pills, then goes to find her. She ultimately confesses her previous affair with Shane (Jon Bernthal) to her husband, who reveals that he already knew. Andrea and Shane then go off to town after Shane finds a lead on the missing Sophia, but find it overrun by walkers. They escape after Andrea rediscovers her shooting abilities, and the two subsequently begin an affair. Upon returning however, Dale quickly guesses that something has happened between them. Feeling protective, he warns Shane to stay away from her, and tells him that he witnessed Shane aim his shotgun at Rick in the woods near their old camp outside Atlanta, as well as raising suspicions as to what happened to Otis while he and Shane went searching for medical supplies. Shane denies ever intending to kill his best friend, but threatens Dale, hinting he would kill him should he make any more "wild accusations". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Secrets (The Walking Dead)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
