After five episodes, it looks like the prison group finally has a handle on the new threat. Unfortunately for them, a certain character makes a return when they're at their weakest. Tonight's episode of The Walking Dead takes the story in a new direction and you can get a sneak peek before it airs with our preview videos and photo gallery.

“In the highly anticipated new season, we find Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and the group fostering a thriving community in the safe haven of the prison. Sadly, in this brutal world, happiness is short-lived and walkers and outside threats are no match for danger brewing inside the fences. The group’s home and new way of life will be thoroughly tested, and their struggle to survive has never been so perilous. Season 4 also introduces several new characters including Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard Jr., The Wire).”

As you can tell from the photos and promo videos below, this week's episode will focus on The Governor and David Morrissey recently talked to EW about what we can expect:

"What you see at the end of this last episode is that he’s fit, he looks well, he looks healthy —  so he’s ready for confrontation in whatever form that takes. So our questions are piqued at the end of episode 5 and that’s where we’ll go in episode 6. We’ll see a bit more of where he’s been in the ensuing months. I think it’s fair to say that at the end of season 3 we left him in a very difficult space. He had turned on his own people and he didn’t do that with any pleasure. He’s not somebody who was doing that in any premeditated way. It comes out of him in a quite spontaneous anger. It’s like a red mist has descended on him and I think what we’ll see in the coming episodes is someone who is coming to terms with that new person that we saw at the end of season 3 — whether he’s embracing that person or fighting that person. That is what we will see. He’s changed. He’s definitely changed. That is fair to say. And what we will see is where that change has taken him."

We had a chance to check out the new episode and, while we can't go into spoilers yet, this is quite a different episode from what the average viewer will expect. We're looking forward to seeing the reaction that Daily Dead readers have, so comment on Twitter, Facebook, or below and let us know.
