Back at Gabriel’s church, Rick is getting impatient.  Gabriel is acting shifty as if expecting an attack.  Rick demands to know what Gabriel did.  Someone left a message ‘You’ll burn for this.’  Gabriel did something to deserve that message.  He breaks down and reveals what happened.  Shortly after the military bombed Georgia, Gabriel’s flock came for help.  Gabriel locked the doors the previous night.  As the people banged on the doors and windows for help, walkers appeared and attacked.  Gabriel is still haunted by their dying screams.
