As to the quoted posts, I was fine with the episode up until the Gabriel gone Judas speech. Seems like an absolute contradiction of character given what he has done himself and how, essentially, Rick's group got him to 'paradise'. Strange time to draw such a distinct ethical line in the sand for that character, and at such an abrupt moment. I can't recall anything so egregious, outside of the Terminus church massacre, that would have given him any justification.
I appreciate the tension that is definitely going to arise out of this, but I think it was poorly executed narrative once again. Too bad considering how solid an episode and how great the show has been since Aaron came a'knockin at the barn. I've read the responses in the thread concerning Gabriel's motivations, but I'm not quite there with accepting this turn (other than he's a complete coward). Any other insights?
Oh, and mother-dick...

Maybe Rick told Gabriel to do that to gauge Deanna's reaction?
Rick never takes chances, we know that.
