I kinda forgot about that, though at Woodbury it seemed disengenuous and manipulative. He did like Andrea though (****ing bitch I hate her so much she was waaaay better in the comics).

It's hard to tell if he's really a sociopath. One of the first things he says in the episode is that he lost touch with his followers and things got outta hand- he seemed really remorseful. He didn't admit that he was that leader though. It seems like he's legitimately concerned for the group when that pack of zombies showed up (what happened to the other girls!?!!). And yeah, the daughter thing definitely makes sense but that doesn't make it any less real. It's too early to tell whether he's just manipulating this group too or if he's gonna have a psychotic break. I do agree that he's beyond redemption but I don't think that's gonna stop him from trying. Other theory: He's gonna make another attempt at the prison and end up killing one or more of newer characters.
