Rick and Michonne looked like a S.W.A.T.
team moving from house to house, location to location clearing and scavenging for supplies.
And then of course, there was a bunch of love-making.
I always felt like there would be more love-making in the apocalypse.
This was a slow burn.
Rick and Michonne felt like an old married couple to me and I loved it.
At one point, they fell through a roof and laughed about it.
you’ve got the option to handle eight… was Ricks response to her objection.
The chemistry between these two was really evident in this episode so beautifully written by Matt Negrete.
Theyve known each other a long time.
Their relationship has a deep history and yet this is all so new between them.
The dynamics between the two of them were certainly fun to watch.
Rick is reluctant to take on that role.
In fact, this whole episode, hes reluctant to go back home so quickly.
Perhaps because he knows whats about to happen once they actually have to go to war.
He says he doesnt want to lose anyone else.
Maybe a lot of people.
Maybe even each other.
But even then, itll be worth it.
Michonne says she cant lose him.
What kind of life would they have just surrendering?
Making a future thats living.
Rick is trying to convince Michonne that she can lose him because its not about them.
Its about the future.
And she will have to pick up the torch and build that future.
Eugene may be Negan now, but Josh still loves Rick.
In the end, Richonne are able to score a huge win and find a giant supply of guns.
I mean, it looked like there was some heavy firepower in there.
And they turn over the weapons to Jadis (Pollyanna MacIntosh) and the Scavengers, aka The Heapsters.
I want to see a whole episode where Rick negotiates with Jadis.
Hows that taste, Jadis?
It cant just be because she promised, right?
Well, its obviously more than that.
She kept that promise to Cindy not knowing that coming back to Alexandria would turn her life upside down.
If Tara brings Rick to Oceanside, everyone is in for a world of hurt.
She summed it up best by saying, What makes our lives worth more than theirs?
And it seems thats where her hope lies at the moment… but at least theres hope.
Rosita went out to find guns and didnt find any.
She came back and basically blames Father Gabriel for talking her out of being reckless with her actions.
She said, I had a gun.
I was gonna use it.
And Gabriel smacks her back with some good, old-fashioned preacher wisdom.
Its easier to be dead.
If its my fault youre alive then Ill live with that.
you’ve got the option to blame me for having a life, but after that?
What are you gonna do with it?
Thats my line of the whole episode.
Rosita goes to Hilltop to see Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green).
Oh, remember were not friends?
This should get juicy.
But Rosita diffuses all of that by giving Sasha a sniper rifle.
Rosita is frustrated with how things are moving back at Alexandria.
They need more guns, people, time, excuses.
This is a one-way ticket for both of us.
Things are about to get crazy, I can feel it.
The Walking Deadairs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
