That's true about Rick and Carl's assumptions; I forgot they saw that (or forgot who saw it).

Hm, it hadn't occurred to me that Beth might be the "meal," though I considered she might be around (imprisoned or a part of this group, depending), and I was puzzled by how they worked her into the episode in flashbacks, especially when she got Rick's hat. But the way she was taken off in that car with the cross...I think something else has happened and she'll be back.

BUT now I'm wondering if Judith was the meal. :/
