After all that, TWD better have an airtight explanation as to why Rick wouldn't move heaven & earth to get back to his family. Why would he let them continue to think he was dead? I'll wait, albeit skeptically.
Yeah, I'm curious to see how they handle that. My guess is that they take him somewhere very far away, like another country, so it would be impossible for him to make his way back and/or he is under constant supervision.
