SPOILER ALERT!  Actually, nothing really happened on last night's episode so there isn't much to spoil.  But the episode did focus on the gang trying to come to grips with normalcy, and we saw some things to be concerned about.

The crew arrived to Alexandria as skeptics.  They have every right to be, and even at the end of the episode we are all still skeptics as well.  The congresswoman leader Deanna seems a bit untrustworthy, but then again she is a politician.

There were some ominous moments during the show.  Rick took a walk late at night and was greeted by the husband of Jessi, the lady that cut his hair, on his porch.  Smoking, he said "Welcome To Alexandria," rather coldly.  A red flag went up for me.

Rick's gun was taken from the hidden blender.  Someone must have been watching him.  It may have even been the gun that they gave glen on the first supply run "dry run."

Next, what's up with those guys on the supply run?  They hung up a zombie that bit their friends, and then nearly let the zombie take out Tara trying to retrieve it as a trophy again.    That brings the first heated confrontation with the rest of the community.  To resolve issues, the congresswoman steps in and tells the town that the newcomers are all equals.  She then makes Rick the Constable, along with Michonne.  The others will get their jobs soon.

And that brings us to Carol, who obviously is playing the part of a helpless woman to gain an edge on the group.  We know Carol, she's a tough cookie, and not afraid to do the dirty work if need be.  She basically is undercover in this community, pretending to be a good housewife, and nothing more.  She's like a sleeper agent.  I'm sure we will see this play out.

So, it's obvious that this group isn't going to fit in with the rest. I can see this going two ways.  First, the residents could have something evil up their sleeve.  Or, secondly, the hard life of living outside the walls will clash so much with the others that it will lead to a breaking point, where Rick takes over the village.

That seems to be where it's going.
