Hypable has two exclusive first looks at this Sunday’s new episode of The Walking Dead titled “This Sorrowful Life.”

In the first photo we see Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) in a tense discussion. Rick has a tight grip on his gun, suggesting the conversation between he and his partner is leaving him on edge.

In the second photo, Merle (Michael Rooker) looks to be deep in thought while playing with a lighter in the prison. Could he be debating his role in the Rick VS Governor stand-off?

The official description says that in this Sunday’s episode, “Rick and the group are faced with a serious problem. If they want a truce with the Governor, they will have to make a huge sacrifice.” This may refer to either Michonne or Andrea’s future. The latter character was imprisoned by the Governor in the final moments of the most recent episode, and she is now a bargaining chip. We have to assume that the Governor will only let her go if Rick hands over Michonne. It’s unlikely Rick will make the sacrifice, so these final two episodes could be an all-out war between the two leaders.

Check out the gallery below for several other photos already released from Sunday’s episode.
