Whilst the group has been chatting, the bear has apparently cured its injuries with some form of balm secreted from the leaves of the plant; not only have the injuries healed over- though seemingly not regenerated outright upon closer inspection, shown for instance through the bear’s thinner-than-previous right paw- but there seems to be no sign of John’s infected blood taking effect anywhere on the bear’s body either. It glances over at the escaping Rick briefly, then seems to decide that several stationary targets are easier prey than one retreating target, and turns its attention back to the larger group, sending a multitude of vines in the direction of the three standing targets, apparently with the aim of surrounding and grappling them given the chance.
