It's possible Even if the Governor is using Merle for example. He's lost trust in him because Merle lied about killing Michonne which resulted in his daughters... 'death', but he could take advantage of how much Merle hates Ricks group. They "escape" and as you said, go to the prison. Merle can't forgive the group so there's a showdown and a couple people die in the process which could mean an easier take over for Woodbury.faviouz said:Who knows, maybe that's the whole plan. The governor might have arranged for the two brothers to escape (while everyone thinking they escaped legitimately), and when Merle gets his chance, he kills Rick, Michonne or someone else and runs off to Woodbury. But that's unlikely I think.
