I completed episode 2 of The Walking Dead: Michonne.
It was a pretty short one, just a bit over an hour. It was also a very gruesome one... It begins on Norma and Randall's boat, right after Sam shot Zachary. Sam is shocked that she actually killed a person, but seems lucid enough.
One of Zachary's friends, Jonas, enters the room and finds his buddy dead on the floor... Michonne and Sam subdue him and tie him up, then they exit the room to find save Pete from Norma. There was a short sequence here where we walked around the boat and knocked out a guard, stealing his flare gun in the process.
When we reached the deck, we found Pete tied to a chair. Michonne snuck behind him, while Sam stayed back. We were ambushed by Norma and Randall... I jumped on Randall while Sam jumped on Norma. We won our little battle and freed Pete.
Pete wanted to go back to Norma and try to reason with her, but I had a bad feeling about that plan, so I held him back. We then used the flare gun to light a barge on fire, creating a distraction, while we swam through the fiery waters to reach a small boat. Sam informs them that her father's house would be a good hiding place, so they drive the boat to the shoreline and head towards her family's house.
Dozens of walkers blocked the path in front of us, while we were still being pursued by Norma's people behind us... Michonne decides to push forward using one of her old tricks. She chops off the arms of two walkers, ties a rope around their neck and uses them as camouflage! It was violent, but it worked. At some point during all this, Sam was shot in the shoulder. She can still walk, but she's weak.
With Randall and his goons still in hot pursuit, the group attempts to climb a broken radio tower as a shortcut to the house. They make it safely to the top, but the tower collapses behind them, forcing Randall and his crew to take another, longer route. When we reached the house, we were greeted by Sam's family. This includes a couple of kids, a big sister and the father.
They were cautious of Michonne, but seeing her help Sam, who is bleeding out on the floor, was enough for them to trust her. I had to rub alcohol on Sam's wound, then get the excess blood out of the way, then remove the bullet the with pliers. It was fucking gruesome and quite difficult to watch... To cauterize the wound, I then used a scalding-hot fire poker and stuck it on Sam's flesh, closing the wound for good.
I also had to inform the family that their son was dead, the kid who got shot with Sam earlier. So that was rough. I had a few conversations with the family members. One girl is older, and I'm not sure what her relationship to Sam is, but she revealed that the family's mother had killed herself a while back, but that the father was hiding this information from his family.
The conversation with the father was just as rough, though he lied to me about the mother. When he was cleaning up some walker limbs from the front gate of the house, he left the gate open just a little bit too long. Randall had made his way to the house, and now he had a good view of the father. Randall shot the father in the head mercilessly as Michonne scrambled to hide from the maniac.
With some quick thinking and good maneuvering, Michonne and Pete killed two of the attackers and captured Randall before he could do more damage. They put him in a shed, then put his hands in a vice to hold him in place... We talked to him a little, trying to get some info on Pete's people, but it wasn't very useful, despite the violent interrogation methods...
It wasn't long before Norma was calling Randall on the radio, so I chose to have Michonne speak with her directly. We proposed a trade. We give Randall back, she leaves us alone. I realize the odds of this deal being successful are low, but it seemed like the best option. So I chose to leave Randall alive, and Norma's coming over to negotiate...
