Spoiler Free: ‘Walking Dead’ season 4 update: Robert Kirkman on recent deaths, Rick’s dilemma and the flu

The latest episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead elaborated on the different subplots running through the cast this season. THR talked with creator Robert Kirkman about each one, looking for fun insights to tease fans, beginning with the deaths of Karen and David and Rick learning the murderer’s identity.

the-walking-dead-season-4-sonequa-martin-green“…this is someone who’s been one of them for a very long time, so the outcome of this is going to be something that none of them have been expecting and none of them could have prepared for. This is going to go in a pretty interesting direction.”

 Kirkman sounds like he’s as interested in seeing how Rick handles this renewed pressure of leadership.

“This is the first big leadership thing that falls into his lap. It’s really going to weigh on him because this is the exact decision he’s been trying to avoid. Now he’s put in a position where he’s the only person who can handle this because of the circumstances you mentioned. This is really a big test for Rick. What is he going to do? What kind of decisions is he going to make? Is he prepared to step up into a leadership role again in this instance, or is he going to go a different way?

As the flu spreads, the group is forced to try to find some meds to help the infected while there is an effort to use a natural solution.

“In terms of an actual flu remedy, elderberries — which you can look up and research just like we did — it actually does bring a fever down. I think they know that there’s not a lot to return back to without these meds, and they’re driven on this course. And to a certain extent, they have an entire mega-herd of zombies behind them, so I think they’re going to be ultra-incentivized to try to carry this mission out any way possible, which will make for a very entertaining episode four this season.
