"What Happened and What's Going On" is the ninth episode and mid-season premiere of the fifth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series ''The Walking Dead'', which aired on AMC on February 8, 2015. It marks Chad L. Coleman's final appearance as series regular Tyreese. It also features several appearances from deceased characters in Tyreese's hallucinations. The episode was written by series showrunner, Scott M. Gimple, and directed by Greg Nicotero. The narrative takes place in Richmond, Virginia, marking the first time the series is not set in Georgia. It takes place 17 days after Beth's death as the group finds Noah's walled community known as Shirewilt Estates, a nod to a similar location in the comic book series. The episode primarily focuses on Tyreese, his struggle accepting death, and the guilt he faces over the losses of other group members due to actions he believes he could have done differently. The opening montage intercuts among a funeral that appears to be Beth's and previous sanctuaries: Woodbury, the prison, and Shirewilt. The ending reveals the funeral is Tyreese's. Several deceased characters return as hallucinations such as Beth, Bob, Martin, The Governor, Lizzie and Mika. The episode was lauded by television commentators, who praised Nicotero's direction, Coleman's performance, and Gimple's script. Others noted Tyreese's death as shocking and well-handled. ==Plot== The group is still reeling from the tragedy of Beth Greene (Emily Kinney)'s death at Grady Memorial Hospital. They decide the best way to honor her is to complete Beth's intended mission of reuniting Noah (Tyler James Williams) with his family. The entire group makes the 530-mile journey to Shirwilt Estates, a walled community outside Richmond, Virginia, leaving Georgia behind. Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Tyreese Williams (Chad Coleman), Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun), and Noah decide to scout ahead and visit the compound first, while the others remain behind to be safe. In the car, Tyreese tells Noah and the others about his father who always used to tell him and Sasha Williams (Sonequa Martin-Green) that, as citizens of the world, they should listen to the news and never change the channel or turn it off, as they should always know about the atrocities that take place so they can be prepared and have their eyes open. Upon arrival, however, they discover the community has been overrun and everybody inside it killed. The words, "Wolves not far", are spray painted on a brick wall. Noah breaks down, and Tyreese stays behind to comfort him as Rick, Michonne, and Glenn scout for supplies. Tyreese tells Noah that he wanted to give in and die when Karen (Melissa Ponzio) was killed, but that he kept on fighting, and decided to live and, as a result, he was able to protect Judith when she needed him. Noah stands and sprints to his family's home, with Tyreese in pursuit. They arrive and find Noah's family dead. Tyreese explores the house while Noah sits by his mother's corpse and apologizes for not returning home sooner. While focused on pictures of Noah's family, Tyreese is bitten by Noah's reanimated brother, whom Noah quickly dispatches with a model jet. Noah leaves immediately to retrieve Rick and the others. Tyreese suffers severe blood loss and begins to hallucinate about news stories on the radio as well as visits by Martin (Chris Coy), Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard, Jr.), The Governor (David Morrissey), Lizzie and Mika Samuels (Brighton Sharbino and Kyla Kenedy), and Beth Greene (Emily Kinney), who discuss his actions throughout his time with the group. Over the radio, Tyreese begins to hear a news story about a group of people traveling up the East Coast and slaughtering innocent people in gruesome ways. He also struggles internally with his recent decisions and "speaks" with his hallucinations. Bob, Beth, and the girls try to comfort and reassure him that he did the right thing, and that death is much better than being alive, but The Governor and Martin antagonize him for not being able to do what they feel needed to be done. In between his discussions Tyreese is bitten again in a skirmish with another walker, furthering his already bleak situation. Elsewhere, Michonne continues to express a desire to settle in one place and to fortify the town, but Rick argues that the town is indefensible, showing how part of its defensive wall had apparently been toppled by a large vehicle. They notice walkers that have been severed in half, but do not act upon it any further. Michonne then recommends going to Washington, D.C., because, although Eugene lied about a cure, D.C. may still have resources to improve their chances for survival. Rick comes around and agrees to make the 100 mile journey to Washington, which pleases Michonne. They are then alerted by Noah screaming. They find him about to be bitten by walkers, but manage to save him in time. Noah informs the others about Tyreese's condition. Tyreese is being further antagonized by The Governor while Lizzie holds his hand, though in reality this is Rick stretching his arm so Michonne can amputate it, and they suffer a grueling challenge in escaping the estate with a seriously wounded Tyreese. They fight their way through waves of walkers and pass a truck filled with walkers that have had their arms and legs cut off and the letter W carved into their foreheads. During the ride back, Tyreese is comforted by visions of Bob, Beth, and the girls. He tells Bob to turn off the radio, effectively deciding that he wants to let go and join them in death. He passes away and is put down by Michonne, so that he does not reanimate. The remaining survivors then attend his funeral, which Father Gabriel Stokes (Seth Gilliam) presides over. A visibly traumatized Sasha is seen struggling to stand throughout the service while Rick personally buries him and leaves his cap on his cross. 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「What Happened and What's Going On」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
