context_page_description: "Internment" is the fifth episode of the fourth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on November 10, 2013. The episode was written by Channing Powell and directed by David Boyd.
  Multiple threats pressure the prison inhabitants: the increase of walkers outside the prison gates, and the deteriorating conditions of the people infected by the deadly virus. It marks the return of The Governor, who has been absent since the season three finale, "Welcome to the Tombs."
context_section_description: The episode was written by co-producer Channing Powell, her first writing credit for the series after joining the writing staff this season. It was directed by David Boyd, who previously directed the season 3 episode "Arrow on the Doorpost" and served as the director of photography on the series during the first two seasons.
  This episode marks the return of The Governor (David Morrissey), who appears at the end of the episode. He was taken out of the opening credits of the episode to keep his return a surprise for the fans. Some critics were impressed with the way The Governor was brought back into the story. Other critics, less so. Hitfix's Alan Sepinwall enjoyed the episode until it "close(d) on the cartoonishly menacing return of the cartoonishly menacing Governor."
