Rick Grimes Confronts Shane - TWD

This is one of my favorite overlooked scenes in The Walking Dead. At this point, Shane has become more of a threat and a liability to the crew. We get to see two long time friends and former partners under the sheriffs department speak up close and personally about something we've all been waiting for at that time.

Shane was the most integral part of the character’s development.

He had to have her and Carl because he knew led a nice family life like Rick, Shane was the bachelor that bounced from woman to woman and that probably left him feeling very unfufilled by the start of the apacolypse. Then Shane, knowing that Judith was his but that he wouldn't have her either, completely unbalanced his mind.

The subtleties of the scene. They stopped at a literal crossroads as if to say Shane and Rick at at a crossroads.

I feel like if Rick had done more to reach out to Shane here too, things might’ve gone different.

He originally meant to look after Lori and Carl because he and Rick were more than just partners, they were brothers.

[@reaverfang377]

Rick is the leader cos he doesn't give a shit about that Alpha stuff, Shane does. Shane thinks the group as a pack and wants to rule said pack as if Wolf Packs really worked like that. People like him because he's a man who allows himself to feel and to express. They love him because he's not obsessed with power. Shane was obsessed with controlling people and being the leader. Before Rick even came, people were trying to resist him, like with the Scav run into Atlanta. Rick also engages in mutual respect which earns him the respect and admiration of others, while Shane asserts respect and submission. Thats why Rick almost failed in Alexandria because he was asserting respect and Submission but the second that changed, his outlook in Alexandria shifted very positively. TLDR: Shane has cringe ideas about what a leader is.

Shane wasn’t like that at all. He lost himself to the darkness of the apocalypse and sought out control and fear in the others, he was selfish and he didn’t listen to anyone else’s ideas or worries about risky options, he rarely considered anyone else’s opinions before making decisions for everyone.

This was the moment in the show where Shane had his mental break and, just turned into a maniac. He was so angry and and just wanted to burn the world. Cuz no matter how he felt or what he thought his best friend just, told him the truth. He had no comeback because, he knew it was true and it just 🔥 him up inside.

Imagine Shane didn't die and Shane and Rick were a duo, and they went everywhere together. Be so cool

[@jaynyce5923]

I’ve always wondered how tf they knew what happened at the school when only 2 people knew (Shane and Otis) and Otis died at the school. Like wtf? Always been a plot hole for me

[@TheKing-rj6zt]

Because Dale suspected it, told Lori then Lori spread it, They got all suspect, Rick is the only one that really knew after this conversation, also Shane wasn’t the same when he got back.

[@randomhiphop5055]

Yeah bad writing

[@kevinbragg9757]

I believe it was pointed out that Shane lied because he came back with Otis' gun, and if things went down the way Shane claimed it did, that wouldn't have been possible.

[@BankReel]

Shane admitted it to Dale

[@pupzDZN]

daryl pointed out that shane came back with otis's gun and missing hair to dale so I think thats how it started

[@StartrooperB30]

Having both Shane and Rick was a great duo together. Both had great leadership as being in the law enforcement. They could've handled and survived this together all the way without a doubt. The only problem here that was causing this whole wrecked is that Shane did something unforgivable behind his best friend back not knowing that he assumed he died at the hospital. Yea I get it that he took good care of Lori and Carl but the matter of fact that he should've respected the widow. Yea it's the apocalypse and anything can happen. Although, Shane not letting go his emotion towards Lori is what made it more uncomfortable to Rick that got Shane to clicked and caused his friendship and life.

Rewatching this show again and this scene in particular, I realize how Rick could’ve easily defused the tension between them at the moment shane confessed that Lori and Carl kept him alive. He was finally being honest and vulnerable to his best friend and Rick replied with “I wanna check the ropes” lmao. Regardless how wrong Rick felt he had been done he almost gave shane the ammo right then and there to eventually turn on him. If Rick would’ve showed compassion and understanding in that moment, I think it would’ve turned out differently for their relationship. It sucks that they were both their own demises because eventually as we know, Rick came to be a lot like shane was then during the later seasons. And as a footnote I’m not blaming Rick for Shane’s behavior, just that a moment like that could bring people closer together when it just pushed them apart even further.

Looking back it was really stupid To wait a week to talk to Shane about this. Like seriously Lori told Rick Shane is dangerous and Rick is like “yeah let’s wait a week before talking about this like rational people.” Also what makes it worse is that Lori talks to Shane about the good times they had and she still had feelings for him right when Shane had moved on and banged Andrea.

[@cf6965]

So let's think about it . Rick was literally in a coma until an exlosion somwhere outside the hospital caused to turn off his life support. So let's forget about the miracle he survived that, he couldn't have been there very long until he woke up . Realistically speaking maybe a few days at most, so Lori didn't really mourne very long about Rick until she startet her affair with Shane now did she !? So was that affair going on behind Ricks back before the zombie outbreak ? She allways claimed she started the affair with Shane because she belived Rick was dead, but she sure as hell got over Rocks supposedly death very quickly...

From the TWD timeline, it’s said Rick was in a coma for 59 days from day 1 of the outbreak.

I always interpreted as shane and lori had an affair before the outbreak just from the conversation between rick and shane at the very beginning with rick talking about having marriage problems and shane acting awkward about , especially when he says "atleast you can do is speak " and rick responds with " thats what lori always says speak just speak to me " imo something was going on 🤣

[@andromidius]

Two months is a loooooooong time during the apocalypse. Every day could be your last, after all. Remember the Covid lockdowns? People were going crazy after a few days in some cases. Now imagine most of the people you knew were not only dead but now walking around hunting you and the few people remaining to you. The levels of stress would be off the chart, and any escape would look pretty darn good no matter how inappropriate it may have been in the before times.

Shane was starting to lose his mind at this point. If he just got over Lori and found a way to move on, he was the right counter balance to Rick to do the things that Rick wasn't ready to do. I always wondered too if Shane went off on his own if it was just impossible for him to stay with the group that he would of found the saviours and joined them and encountered Rick years later.
