— EVEN THOUGH THE GROUP HAD JUST been attacked by the Governor and a few of his own people, Nate couldn't help but feel glad that his two brothers had returned to the prison in good health, as good as they can be. Merle wasn't exactly glad about being here, but he wasn't going to leave Daryl and Nate, even though his youngest brother chose a girl over him - he couldn't understand why he had done that, and he wanted to find out more about Zoe and why Nate loved her so much. Granted, Daryl had told him how much the two were good for each other, and Nate was a better person because of her, Merle just still couldn't understand how he could let a girl boss him around. Zoe watched as Nate embraced his two brothers, the three Dixon's sharing a moment together; she couldn't help but smile at the sight, knowing that Nate was going to be so much happier now that his brothers were back, and even if she didn't like Merle since he had allowed the Governor to torture her and Glenn, he was still Nate's brother, and that meant he was Zoe's family, too. Daryl had even given Zoe a small side-hug when he saw her, making Nate even happier that his brother got along with his girlfriend. Zoe was just happy that Daryl didn't hate her.. The girl quickly got out of dodge when Merle joined the moment; she didn't want him touching her, not after what he did, but she was going to tolerate him, just because he was Nate's brother, and nothing else.
Luckily, Rick had ordered Merle to stay away from the group, meaning that he wasn't exactly allowed into the cell block unless Rick had an eye on him; after the whole Governor situation, he didn't trust him, and definitely did not want him near his daughter after she nearly died because of him. "We're not leaving." Rick told the group as they all circled around him after the Governor had attacked the prison and shot the place up, killing Axel in the process. Hershel seemed to think leaving was the best option, but Zoe knew that her dad was right, they should stay and fight for their home - they took this place, and they weren't going to run from it.
"We can't stay here." Hershel told Rick, trying to talk some sense into Rick at the fact that if they stayed here, they would end up dead. They weren't equipped to go up against Woodbury.
"What if there's another sniper?" Maggie asked, agreeing with her father that they should pack up and leave, "A wood pallet won't stop one of those rounds." She said to Rick.
"We can't even go outside." Beth added, scared to even leave their cell block in case of another attack from the Governor.
"If Rick says we're not running, we're not running." Glenn interrupted everyone, knowing that Rick was the leader and they should listen to what he says. Not only that, but he wanted to kill the Governor for what he did to his best friend, if they ran, they wouldn't be able to do that.
Merle decided to speak up at this time, wanting to get his opinion in. "No, better to live like rats." Merle said from his place behind the cell door as he wasn't actually allowed in. Zoe stood with her arms crossed as she glared over at the older man, not liking that everyone was dictating her fathers decision to stay at the prison instead of run away from the Governor.
