"I Ain't a Judas" is the eleventh episode of the third season and 30th episode overall of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead. It aired on AMC in the United States on February 24, 2013. In this episode, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group debate their next course of action as they find themselves running out of ammunition and food, while The Governor (David Morrissey) prepares Woodbury for battle. Meanwhile, Andrea (Laurie Holden) decides to travel to the prison to negotiate with Rick's group, and gets treated harshly.

Following The Governor's (David Morrissey) brief but costly attack on the prison, Hershel (Scott Wilson) wants to abandon it. Merle (Michael Rooker) points out it is now too late for that; The Governor has had more than enough time to block all possible escape routes, moreover The Governor can simply besiege the prison and starve them out. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Glenn (Steven Yeun), however, argue that the group should stay, but they don't have enough ammunition to clear out the walkers. Rick begins to walk away, and Hershel challenges him to get his head clear so that he can lead them. Even Carl sees his father would benefit from some rest and suggests that he let Hershel and Daryl (Norman Reedus) take charge.
