Daryl’s story about Merle’s stolen fishing boat scores big points, and his efforts to both pantomime and sign probably led to mass fainting among his fanbase. Thankfully for Kelly, the most adorable search party in history is on her trail, as Daryl and Connie take Dog on a rescue mission. Sorry we busted your chops for moping around, Zeke.Īlso not working in favor of the survivors is their tendency to split up and get lost, attacked, or both. That puts his depression and suicidal thoughts in a slightly different light. A quarter of their medical supplies are gone, which is especially bad news for Zeke - not because he’s looking for some painkillers, but because he’s sporting a rather large growth on his neck that he’s pretty sure, based on family medical history, is thyroid cancer. “That’s democracy for you,” Alpha says as she hacks at the dude with a knife and lets Beta finish him off.Īlpha might be better off simply waiting for her rivals to doom themselves. Like a Russian presidential election, everyone knows how this will end, and sure enough, the final tally is approximately 857 to one. Ears are the trickiest.”) When another Whisperer offers an alternative strategy, such as “how ’bout we just send a few thousand zombies in to wipe the Shouters out,” Alpha calls for a vote. (She also leads a master class in skin-mask making: “Careful, now. Alpha helpfully acknowledges that the tree and the damming of the creek are part of her plan to crush the survivors into a fine powder. Old Man Earl keeps bitching about the Whisperers and the tree, and you know if this guy had the internet, he’d be ranting about the Deep State and how Hillary put a hit on Jeffrey Epstein.įunny thing is, though - he’s right. Someone has also been stealing supplies from Hilltop, as if they don’t have enough problems already. Negan is on the loose, and given he could face execution at A-town, he might be ready to drop his turn-the-other-cheek philosophy. To set the stage, let’s consider the general state of things - which, simply put, ain’t great. But we’re wrestling with some existential questions here, people: Who set Negan free, and why? What’s up Magna’s keister and why did she do hard time? Why is Zeke so deeply depressed? What is Alpha’s master plan? Is she ready to accept constructive criticism of her leadership? Will Negan ever find his black leather jacket? And why are groaning, stumbling zombies still able to silently sneak up on functioning humans in the middle of the woods? All mysteries (save for the last one) are solved. She had a rough go of it in the woods, for sure - lost her audio and a fine swine - but in the end, she’s basically fine.
As much as I sympathize with Kelly and her rapidly advancing hearing loss, the opening scene does not quite do justice to the events that unfold and the questions answered in this episode.
