I think this might be the first hint about the humanity of these Wolves.

I bet it is meant to show that that wolf has a baby at home to feed.

And this tips the scale a little bit in favor of Morgan's ''all lives is precious''.

 

I don't know if it is necessarily a sign they came from Alexandria as much as a reminder of what or who is at stake to Rick in that moment. Who these people are is irrelevent in that second, all he is thinking about is his kids, i'm sure.

 

I thought he was guessing it was Judiths and is debating going against what he just told Darryl (ditching plan for selfish desires).

 

Maybe the baby food came from Aaron's backpack.

 

I thought it was some of Carol's canning she had been doing for the upcoming winter.

 

I agree with everything above about Rick's state of mind and why he was beside himself and tore out the side of the RV with the automatic gunfire, but this could also lead to some story development.

What if there is a wolf's baby out there with no one to take care of it now? (Sleeping soundly all rock-a-bye-baby-in-a-tree-top or something when they left for an expected mere hour or so of mayhem.) Maybe they find and rescue the baby, but it gets a little scratch from a walker. Now we find out if a baby born after the global infection somehow develops protection in the womb and can survive a zombie injury.

I know, awful.... But we all want to know!

Maybe even found sadly dead, and they learn whether a post-infection baby stays dead?

 

Just because a person has baby food doesn't mean its for a baby. "Beggars can't be choosers" Carl was going to eat DOG FOOD. It isn't a crazy notion to think that a person would eat a jar of baby food. (Some of it is really good At this point all Rick knows is there was a loud horn coming from home and that it is attracting walkers. The baby food confirms that these scumbags were just there and that is frightening plus the fact that it does make him think directly of Judith and Carl.

 

Yeah I kinda just thought that they took some food, maybe they'd had it since they found Aaron's backpack with pictures? And it's just supposed to freak Rick (and us) out.

 

Could think of several scenarios for meaning of the jar of baby food. Think it will play out somehow in the show or why have it in there unless to show how anxious people in the ZA have a hankering for veggies.

 

The Wolves were stealing pretty much anything they could get their hands on, so he probably just saw a jar of something edible and took it. Simple explanation.

 

That's what I was thinking as well.

 

Pfft. How could you think that?

What is happening, clearly, is that psycho bitch, Judith, is the leader of the wolves. We should have seen it coming after she didnt warn anybody about Lizzie and later laughed as she watched her murder her own sister.

 

I think it was just to show Rick the wolves had violated the safe zone. It was baby food to give us the image of what Rick was thinking: "Is my family still alive?"

 

Yeah. And it cleared up any doubts for Rick-- had he not found that, he might have believed a piece of the herd made it to the asz. But now it was clear to him: the gunshots was either the survivors at the asz defending themselves, or it was the wolves themselves.

 

It doesn't mean anything for me. But Rick of course must think that has something to do with Judith.

 

The baby food just shows there is a toothless Wolf elder we have yet to see. These 5 RV-haters were on their way back to deliver the precious puree. What did the RV ever do to them?

 

He was hungry.

 

I didn't think it was baby food. Didn't they mention they have an apple orchard and make applesauce? I assumed it was applesauce that was just put in a used baby food jar.

I doubt the wolves have a baby among them.

 

According to the Talking Dead episode, it was carrot baby food.
