I finished Season 2 of The Walking Dead! Fair warning, there are MAJOR SPOILERS in this post.
This was a good one, but a rough one. It starts in the aftermath of the shootout with the group of Russians. Luke is shot in the leg, Clementine saves the baby and Jane comes back at the last second to stick a machete in one of the Russians that was about to kill Kenny... Rough fucking day.
The Russian kid was still alive, crying because his sister was now dead. Kenny forced him to show us the way to their refuge. After a long walk in the snowy woods and a great little scene at a campsite, we found the house. We had to cross an icy lake to reach it though. In one of the most tense moments in the game, we tip-toed across the lake. The Russian kid took off and Kenny chased after him. During that time, Luke was stuck on a part of the ice that cracked heavily under his weight. Sure enough, walkers showed up to put some pressure on us...
I was given the choice to either shoot the walkers or try to go get Luke. I chose to shoot the walkers, but it wasn't enough, Luke still fell down the ice and with his injured leg, he wasn't able to save himself. Bonnie was pissed off because she thought I could have saved him... Clementine still jumped into the water to try and save Luke, but he was too deep.
Back in the new house, we built a fire and found a bit of food. Kenny beat the shit out of the Russian kid...pissing off everyone else. Clem had some good conversations with Jane, then went outside to help Kenny. He found a truck and after multiple attempts, he managed to get it going!
The group had different ideas about what to do. Kenny wanted to keep going north to find the rumored town. Jane wanted to go back to Carver's base, since it still had supplies and the walkers were most likely gone. Mike and Bonnie wanted to go south to get warm, but they didn't seem to have much of a plan. I convinced everyone to wait until morning to make a decision.
During the night, all hell broke loose... Clementine was woken up by a sound and when she investigated, she found Bonnie, Mike and the Russian kid stealing all our supplies and getting into the truck! Those fuckers! I pulled up my gun and called for Jane and Kenny to come help, but the Russian kid shot Clementine in the shoulder... There was a nice flashback scene with a younger Clementine and Lee. I liked that a lot.
Clem woke up in the truck with Kenny driving and Jane holding the baby. Those two were arguing like crazy, but somehow, they had managed to take care of Mike, Bonnie and the kid. On the road, we were stopped by some cars blocking the way. Kenny got out and tried to find a solution. While he was absent, Jane suggested that they leave Kenny and go back south in the truck, but I refused.
Walkers came out and Clem had to take the wheel to escape them, but she crashed the truck into a ditch. In the scramble, Jane and Clem were separated, but I rejoined Kenny in a nearby rest stop. Then it happened... Jane came back without the baby in her arms. Kenny went into a blind rage and attacked her. Despite my best efforts, they fought and wounded each other quite a bit. Finally, I was given the choice to either help Kenny win or Jane win. I chose to shoot Kenny because I felt that he was becoming completely unstable and dangerous, while Jane had been an excellent friend throughout.
It turns out the baby wasn't dead... Jane had just hidden him in a car to show Clementine how Kenny would react. While it's kind of a dick move, I understand and forgave Jane. We decided to walk back to Carver's hideout with the baby. We made it there safely (unbelievable!) and of course, there was food and shelter for us. A family of three knocked at the door and begged to be sheltered with us. I think of Clementine as someone with a very strong personality, but she is also a person with a big heart, so I let them in. I hope it was a good choice! Bring on season 3.
