But Rick shot the zombie girl with the doll at the gas station shortly before he was shot and Rick didn't ask 'what the hell was that?' to anyone. He must have known? Yes, I'm still confused. lol
Rick shot the zombie girl at the gas station after he woke up from the coma.
No he didn't. He shot her first . . . that was the opening scene.
From AMC's website:
On a deserted road, Sheriff's Deputy Rick Grimes pulls his police cruiser past overturned cars to a gas station. Vehicles filled with dead bodies litter the grounds; a sign hanging nearby declares "No Gas."
As Rick searches, he glimpses a little girl and calls to her. Her lips and right cheek have been torn away, blood dripping. She starts toward Rick, growling. As she approaches, Rick draws his gun and shoots her in the head.
Earlier, Rick and his partner Shane eat hamburgers in their car and joke about the differences between men and women. When the conversation turns to Rick's wife Lori, Rick turns somber. He explains that Lori recently accused him of not caring about his family in front of their son, Carl. "The difference between men and women?" Rick says, "I would never say something that cruel to her."
An APB reports a high-speed pursuit in progress. Rick and Shane head to the scene, where they lay down a spike strip. As they wait for the car, a young officer, Leon Bassett, muses about their chances of getting on a police chase reality show.
The car approaches, pursued by two more cruisers. When it hits the spike strip, it flips off the road. Rick approaches the overturned car. Two men emerge from the wreckage; one shoots Rick in his Kevlar vest. The other officers gun them down.
"Shane you do not tell Lori that happened," Rick says after the firefight. His back turned, Rick fails to notice a third gunman crawling from the car. The man fires and hits Rick in the side, where his vest does not protect him. He falls to the ground bleeding, then passes out.
Shane delivers flowers to Rick in the hospital, but Rick isn't fully conscious or at all aware of what's going on.
Rick wakes in the hospital room, unshaven and sweaty. He calls for Shane, then notices the flowers have wilted and died.

This is why I'm confused. Zombies were around before Rick got shot; he/they knew about them. Otherwise, he would have said something to Shane. I think the virus was just going or had recently gone global when he got shot and he was in a coma for a month . . . but I can't figure six months.
Wait, when Rick shot the zombie girl at the gas station. . . .was that suppose to have happened after he got shot but before he met up with Morgan and Duane?
The shooting of the little girl in the opening was after Rick woke from the comma and then the show when back to the beginning to before the outbreak! This is not rocket science here!
