I think these last two episodes are really great tie-ins with the overall theme to the season, what Clara said to Rick after she stabbed herself; the question that Rick is constantly asking himself now: Do you get to come back from the things you did?

In the Governor's case, that answer is clearly "no." I think maybe too that's why I hate him so much - because there's no hope left for him and I'm a pretty hopeful kind of person.

In a way, Rick is also saying no. That's why he banished Carol - he couldn't let her come back form the things she did.

I hope that isn't the answer we arrive at for the end of the season, because that would be mega-sad.
