"Us" is the fifteenth episode of the fourth season and 50th episode overall of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on March 23, 2014. The episode was written by Nichole Beattie and Seth Hoffman, and directed by Greg Nicotero.
Glenn Rhee and Tara Chambler depart ways from Abraham, Rosita and Eugene to go to Terminus, instead of going to Washington, D.C., in hopes of a cure. Glenn and Tara struggle on the way to Terminus, with their main objective to find Glenn's wife, Maggie Greene. Meanwhile, after Beth's mysterious disappearance, Daryl Dixon now has joined the group of Claimers led by Joe (Jeff Kober) but is at odds with some of its members.
The episode received very positive reviews, with many praising its simplicity and lighter tone, compared to the previous episode. It was also praised for its ending, which features the first appearance of Terminus, as well as the reunion between Glenn and Maggie.
As Glenn (Steven Yeun), Tara (Alanna Masterson), Sgt. Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), Rosita (Christian Serratos), and Dr. Eugene (Josh McDermitt) walk down the railroad tracks, Glenn comes across the message about Terminus that Maggie had previously left for him. Realizing Maggie is still alive, Glenn sprints forward down the tracks. Meanwhile, Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Carl (Chandler Riggs), and Michonne (Danai Gurira) are on another part of the railroad tracks; Carl and Michonne continue to bond over a candy bar as they make their journey to Terminus.
