Spot on. It was also the first episode for the new showrunner, so hopefully it's a good sign of things to come.
Haven't watched the latest episode but the season's starting to meander again IMO. Something big needs to happen. Not sure how much longer the show can go to be honest. Love it though, can't fault the production.
This is why Shane never should have died. Rick/Carl should have shot him, walkers rock up and Shane escapes in the confusion. Imagine how sick it would be if Shane came back around now or was part of the governors group.
