I think Sophia was only missing 4-5 days, although it seemed like forever. Then we had the whole 'what shall we do with Randall?' roundabout (Hershel did surgery, Randall recoups, they go back and forth), that's about a week. Then everything went to hell in a hand basket. I know what you mean, though. It seemed much longer!

 

Yeah....gonna make me want to rewatch the season (if I can stand it, lol). Right now, though, it's making the Glen/Maggie hook up seem waaaaay more impetuous than I thought at the time. Just weird that they barely knew each other. And Shane - his constantly erupting frustration seems a lot more nuts - makes him seem like a much more volatile dude.

 

The kidnapper must have been someone with serious mental problems. At least, that's my explanation.
