I didn't take it as Shane rubbing off on Rick. I think Rick would have done that either way. He was a cop, I think he would have realized it was a dangerous situation that needed to be handled that way.
I think maybe he saw it as a way to get in Herschel's good graces, though. Without Rick what would Herschel have done there? Got killed or led them back to the ranch.
The next episode looks like it's going to be great.
