How will he react?

edited May 2014 in The Walking Dead
I've been pondering as to how Kenny might react to Sarita being bit. Assuming that she'll die regardless of the choice at the end of episode 3, is it possible that her death will ultimately destroy Kenny? Or will the death of his family previously have hardened him?

  • Prepare the SaltLick... but yes he will probably "cease to function"
  • You see in the trailer that they're shooting walkers i think and he looks fine.
    I think it will hurt him, but the manner in how he lost Kat and Duck was worse for him.
  • He's a tough guy, he's been through a lot and I think he can hold on. He's always got Clem to keep him going. I said in a thread like this before, Kenny treats Clem like his own child and we all know what Kenny is willing to do for his family. Hell, he took that beating for Clem in episode 3.
    No matter what he goes through he will always hang on just for Clem. I just hope Luke doesn't fuck his mind up with the whole "I should take care of Clem" act.
  • The trailers have never really been that accurate.

  • He'll be cool with it. I'll just tell him that I was trying to give Sarita a hand.

    Eh? Eh? Anyone?
  • Sure, I'll bite ;)

  • Poor Kenny , Katjaa and Sarita :(
  • Maybe Luke having that attitude is a good thing. For instance, Kenny sacrificing himself to save the group knowing that Luke will be there to take care of Clementine.

  • I think it's a bit too early to say, perhaps she'll survive if you chop off her hand? One thing that would be interesting is having a timer throughout the first part of the episode where the group arrives at the memorial and have Clementine have to quickly scour enough medical supplies to save Sarita. If you don't find the supplies in time then she dies and Kenny will flip off the edge.

    However if you find the supplies in time and chop off her arm, then Sarita will love but somewhat see how dark you can be and is more fearful of you. This also has her trying to tell Kenny how dark you are and you can react to her in your own way (regret, revenge, forgiveness, etc.)
  • Trailers tend to add stuff in that isn't in the actually episode i.e seeing Christa and Omid fight of walkers in the episode 3 trailer where you never saw that.
    Larry and Lily talking on the dairy, never saw that.
    Lee seeing the stranger run up steps when he was walking across the road.

  • I reasoned that since everyone's infected anyway, killing the walker that was biting Sarita will give her more time with Kenny, assuming she's going to die from infection (i.e. sepsis), and then have to have her head destroyed. So, I think chopping off the arm will have a much worse effect on Kenny, which will cause him to perhaps blame Clem for her actions, even though he would have done whatever Clem did in her place.

    Unfortunately, however, Kenny seems to have this idea that stepping in to do the right thing will somehow redeem him for the mistakes he's made in the past, even though there's no changing what's been done. This is likely going to be his major weakness, and will become at odds with Clem and what people will remember Carver was trying to do in his own way. So, I don't think Sarita's death will 'destroy' Kenny, but it'll certainly make him more prone to interfering with what may otherwise be a sensible idea, and I'm sure Jane will have a lot to say about that.
  • Ew, no way. I don't wanna be stuck with Luke. Me nor Kenny trust him so I don't think he'd wanna leave Clem with him.

  • Yeah, and it could ignore the consequences of the sarita decision in order to avoid spoiling them.

  • "...Cease to function."
  • Kenny has suffered so much that I think he's not going to feel that much

    I think he'll try to brush it off in order to act tough in front of Clem. Keep it all bottled up. It's gonna backfire eventually, though.

    He wants to be her guardian figure,for her to feel safe around him, I think he doesn't want to break down and appear weak in front of her.
  • Ew? Really? I can't say i'm not surprised that you'd respond in such a way though...

  • Either way, she's doomed, unless they try to make it that they cut her arm off quickly to prevent the spread of infection, but like someone on here said, they weapon Clem used to cut it off had walker blood on it, so it will still cause infection much like when Lee killed that walker in Season 1 Episode 2 and then used the same axe to cut David's leg off.

  • I think we may see self destruction from Kenny. He was so adamant about calling the horde to walk through the walkers. I think he'll blame himself for this..
  • Nah, he didn't die because of infection, he died because of blood loss, katjaa said so, it was way too fast for just infection.

  • that would add more depth to the episode and actually give you a task like in 101: getting the meds for larry

    Yeah. Can't say I'm surprised either ...

    Also I'd just like to say sorry if I come off a little blunt. I just don't hold back when I dislike a character and I can get on peoples bad sides a little with my forthright quotes.

  • Well if she dies in episode 4 than what was the point of giving us the option to cut her arm off, I'm sure she'll survive and I think I saw Bonnie with a bag so he could've brought supplies and plus there isn't much logic in the game, teyll just patch her arm up and she'll be good as new.
  • His beard is going to turn into solid rock.
  • I don't think Kenny will fall apart, sure he will be upset but he has been through worse.
  • You called?

  • No, i'm not saying that cause his death, i'm saying that when cutting a body part of with a weapon that has been used on a walker, the walker blood will get in the bloodstream, thus creating an infection.
    David, died of blood loss yes, but Sarita's isn't that severe, well not at this stage.
    Again, this is just a speculation someone said, which is pretty smart.

  • Can't disagree there. And It doesn't really matter either, what's done is done can't do much about it now.

    I like to think that he won't completely fall apart. However, Sarita could be the tipping point: one can only take so much death before the burden becomes too great.

  • I think Kenny's reaction to seeing Clem die would be a lot worse than losing Sarita.
  • edited May 2014
    Honestly idk... The previews for ep 4 really question me, When Clem is talking to to Kenny about him taking that beating for her, he seems pretty calm. So either she makes it and all is good, or she dies and he gets over it quick, or she runs away alone right after that moment and is no where to be seen from the others(like Sarah) and Kenny never saw it. Then maybe Kenny finds her alive or dead. Unless someone else comes finds her first. What if that someone was Nate? O_O and he's with Lily!? O_O!!! Again idk lol...
  • Agreed.
