The Walking Dead returns this Sunday, and although Rick and The Governor may be going to war, look for the new survivors to find themselves with a bit of downtime before things get too violent and crazy.

Also look for them to receive a major shock as they wait around. A major, adorable shock, that is.

Watch the following sneak peek now to gauge their reaction and to hear the awkward question: Where's the mother?

The Walking Dead Season 3 revs back up Sunday at 10/9c on AMC. Visit TV Fanatic soon after the 2013 premiere airs for a detailed recap and review.
