If I remember correctly, it's the cop dad realizing his son shot his mother (copwife) who was in the process of birthing his sibling. She couldnt complete the brith naturally, and was dying of blood loss. If you die you turn.
So dadcop was away at this time due to plot, carl shoots mom and they rip the baby out.
This meme scene is when Rick returns to learn all that has transpired, and that Carl is completely detached and uncaring (outwardly).
Rick then goes into the scene where the birth happened and it is implied he finds a walker eating the corpse of his wife.
He is, as you can imagine, somewhat bummed out and grouchy about all this.
It also marked his son's pivot from being his little follower (as in wanting to follow his footsteps) into something much more dark.
I dunno, tried to remember. probably goofed some details
Lmfao I did not expect this line
Nope, this was the single moment that ruined the show for me and I’ll tell you why.
Carls reaction wasn’t even shock. It was just nothing. Detached is a great word for just.. nothing. So you have the son watching his mom die and zero reaction happens.
Then the dad freaks out but just like the meme I found this reaction so stupid. It’s bad acting. It’s bad writing.
Then what really killed it for me is that the dad goes into a long sad boi moment, meanwhile Carl becomes this new bad boy character that his character earned exactly zero build up for. So much so that he takes away from his dad. His character goes from weak boy who needs protection to this like rough and tough kid who tells his dad to “man up.” It’s hilarious. It needed way more development and it was clear they wanted a destination for the characters but couldn’t transition properly.
I'm not arguing for this scene, I'm describing it
(Didn’t mean it argumentatively, I meant that aimed at the show)

Damn yea that all rings a few bells now. I didn't realise it was the kid that had to kill the mum (and baby?) This is the point I stopped watching, I can't remember specifically why, but I obviously got sick of it or thought the show had turned to shit and maybe this was the last straw for me.
If I recall, baby lived, dad has to grapple with infant no milk, weird son, all the other shit and is just rocked.
Oh yea that's pretty fucked up.
