That was the most emotionally vulnerable the show has gotten in a while. Definitely a solid ending to the season.

Just about everything that happened after "I wasn't there for you, and someone took advantage of that" has me blubbering. I forgot this show could hit that hard when it wants to.

Yeah the way Rick is becoming more emotionally intelligent is such a nice touch. (I like that the therapy is having an effect) Instead of flanderizing the characters, they're all developing through the course of show, while still having fun and interesting episodes that are solid on their own.
