Allusions[]

  • The title of this episode relates to the act of consuming, either as a purchaser of goods, or the act of eating or drinking. It also refers to an emotional state of being overwhelmed. Carol Peletier uses the word in this episode in this context. Consuming also has a double meaning, as the premise of the show involves zombies that are forever trying to eat the living.
  • Carol Peletier makes several references to her husband, Ed Peletier, who was physically and emotionally abusive to her. Ed Peletier was killed by zombies in the season one episode, "Vatos". Carol released her frustration upon him by smashing his head repeatedly in "Wildfire".

Quotes[]

  • Daryl Dixon: [Looking at a painting] I bet this cost some rich prick a lot of money. Looks like a dog sat in paint, wiped its ass all over the place.
  • Carol Peletier: Really? I kinda like it.
  • Daryl Dixon: Stop.
  • Carol Peletier: I'm serious. You don't know me.
  • Daryl Dixon: Yep, you keep tellin' yourself that.

....

  • Daryl Dixon: You said I ain't like how I was before.
  • Carol Peletier: Yeah.
  • Daryl Dixon: How was I?
  • Carol Peletier: It's like you were a kid. Now you're a man.
  • Daryl Dixon: What about you?
  • Carol Peletier: Me and Sophia stayed at that shelter for a day and a half before I went running back to Ed. I went home, I got beat up, life went on, and I just kept praying for something. But I didn't do anything. Not a damn thing. Who I was with... him... she got burned away. And I was happy about that. I mean, not happy, but... and at the prison, I got to be who I always thought I should be, thought I should've been. And then she got burned away. Everything now just... consumes you.
  • Daryl Dixon: Well, hey... we ain't ashes.

....

  • Carol Peletier: Without weapons we can die. Beth could die.
  • Daryl Dixon: We'll find more weapons.
  • Carol Peletier: I don't want you to die. I don't want Beth to die. I don't want anyone at the church to die, but I can't stand around and watch it happen either. I can't. That's why I left. I just had to be somewhere else.
  • Daryl Dixon: Well, you ain't somewhere else, you're right here. Tryin'.
  • Carol Peletier: Look, you're not who you were and neither am I. I don't know if I believe in God anymore or heaven, but if I'm going to hell, I'm making damn sure I'm holding it off as long as I can.
