1	1	"As the Days Gone Bye"	Frank Darabont	Frank Darabont	October 31, 2010  (2010 -10-31)
Deputy Rick "Grimey" Grimes is hit by a car while performing a traffic stop. His partner, Shane Walsh, rushes Grimes to the hospital. The doctor is too busy, however, and puts Rick into a coma to keep him alive. After an unspecified number of days/weeks/months, Rick awakes in an empty hospital. Upon investigating, Grimes finds out that the world has crumbled and is now overrun by Walkers — a subcategory of runners, joggers and cyclists. Rick then makes his way to his house, looking for his son Coral, and wife Lori. The house is also empty, but he finds two black people looting and breaking into his neighbours place. Instead of arresting them, Rick takes them to the police station with him and lets them take a few guns and a shower. Instead of taking one of the cars, Rick instead chooses a horse for his mode of transportation, and starts his journey to Atlanta. When he gets there, Rick spots a RC helicopter flying around, and follows it. Turns out that the Walkers are smart, and can operate battery powered toys, and as Admiral Ackbar would say “it’s a trap!”. With Rick now in front of a giant Walker horde, he takes shelter in a water tank that just so happened to be in the middle of the road. Inside, Rick shoots Darth Maul and steals his walkie-talkie when someone on the other end calls Rick a “dumbass”.
2	2	"Guts (Do You Have It)?"	Michelle MacLaren	Frank Darabont	November 7, 2010  (2010 -11-07)
Glenn (the voice from last episode) distracts the Walkers by throwing a protein bar in the other direction, so that Rick can escape the tank. Along the way, Rick drops his hat and Glenn goes back to get it — already establishing that he will be Rick's bitch for the remainder of the series. Glenn takes Rick to a group of more survivors that are held up in a tower with a clothing store for a lobby. On the roof, Blue Mary Poppins from Guardians of the Galaxy is sniping Walkers. Instead of calling a SWAT team on him, Rick instead arrests him for having blue crystal meth in his possession (most likely sold to him by the late Walter White). Rick and Glenn take advantage of the clothes store and go undercover by using some gear they found in the sportswear section. The two lead the Walkers away, giving enough time for the others to escape. In the chaos, however, T-Bone Steak eats the handcuff key, as he was so hungry that he could eat a horse (which he could have, had the Walkers not already eaten Rick’s horse). Merle is consequently left on the roof along with Rick’s bag of water guns, while Glenn is let off with a warning by Rick for speeding in his new red Dodge Challenger (that Rick also helped carjack in the first place).
3	3	"Tell It to the Frogs"	Gwyneth Horder-Payton	Charles H. Eglee, Jack LoGiudice and Frank Darabont	November 14, 2010  (2010 -11-14)
The group return to their camp, where Rick is reunited with Coral and Lori. Shane is also there, and the sole reason why the two are still alive. However, Shane had told Lori that Rick had died before he was put in a coma, and it was his last wish for Shane and Lori to “get together” and “if Rick somehow lived, not to speak about anything had the two hooked up while Rick was away”. Merle’s brother Daryl shows up with his crossbow and becomes Rick’s other bitch for the rest of the show. The group figures out that they need weapons if they are to stand a chance against the Walkers, and that they should probably also rescue Merle while they are at it. Back in Atlanta, they return to the rooftop to find the guns and Merle missing. The only thing left behind being Merle's right foot. Rick puts his policing skills to the test, and figures out that Merle was probably high and cut off his foot instead of his hand to escape the cuffs, and took the guns for himself. When walking through the city, the group come across a Mexican gang holding some old people hostage with the water guns from Rick’s bag. Rick offers a trade; they would get some tacos, while Rick gets his guns back. They agree. The old people, however, remained hostages and were most likey forced into sex work.
4	4	"Vatos, You Won't Believe What I Saw"	Johan Renck	Robert Kirkman	November 21, 2010  (2010 -11-21)
The group, now heavily armed with the best water guns, return to their car, only to find that Merle has stolen it. Instead of stealing another car, they choose to just walk. They return to camp to find that a Walker horde had attacked and had converted some of the survivors into Walkers themselves. These being the blonde’s sister Amy, Carol's husband Ed, and a few other unnamed background actors. Good thing that Shane stayed behind so that he could protect everybody with his massive, black penis shotgun. What a hero! Wait, isn't he supposed to be the bad guy for the first two seasons? Anyway, a few hours earlier, Jim had suffered from heat stroke and dug the exact number of graves needed for the dead. This concept of people seeing the future was never brought up or mentioned again for the rest of the series lifespan, since after Frank Darabont left the show, the new showrunner/s and writers had no clue what to do with the show.
5	5	"Wildfire"	Ernest Dickerson	Glen Mazzara	November 28, 2010  (2010 -11-28)
With the camp now in shambles, Rick (now the leader of the group despite literally just showing up a day prior) takes the group into Atlanta once again so they could take a tour of the CDC building; since Coral was unable to go on his school excursion there due to the world collapsing and all. When they get there, Walkers close in on the group, and the doors to the CDC are all locked. Not wanting to break any more laws, Rick begs for whoever is inside to let them in. Dr. Jenner reluctantly lets the group inside, but only if he could take a sample of Coral’s DNA for a reason that totally isn’t creepy or for cloning purposes.
6	6	"THS-1119"	Guy Ferland	Adam Fierro and Frank Darabont	December 5, 2010  (2010 -12-05)
Jenner lets the group shower, sleep, and eat all of his food. When asked why he doesn’t want any of his own supplies, Jenner simply states that the entire CDC building is rigged to explode on the sole reason that if he hasn’t found a cure for the Walkers yet, he probably never will. This causes all the non-suicidal people to panic and try to get the hell out of there, while the black chick and the annoying blonde chick side with Jenner for being blown to bits. Rick and Shane manage to break a window and everyone who wants to live escapes, but Dale being a senile old man, stays behind so that he can convince Andrea to stay on the show for another two seasons. The remaining survivors now hit the road in a RV that is probably yet another Breaking Bad reference.
