This weeks carnage is brought to you by Winslow.
So, lets enjoy it while it lasts.
Elsewhere, The Kingdom is ready to fight, but Ezekiel isnt.

What couldve been a routine drop off with The Saviors quickly escalates because of Jared.
You remember Jared, right?
He instantly approaches the Kingdom guard and demands his gun because bad boys dont get guns.
Well, guns inevitably get drawn, and once again Ezekiel commands Richard submit.
He does, but not before landing a verbal jab, which sets off Jared.
It does, however, give Benjamin the permission he needs to intervene.
It seems like Morgan wants to act but is still conflicted over his monk-hood.
But Morgan says thats exactly why she left.
Since shes close with Ezekiel, Richard hopes her residual death with be the push he needs.
Who is the New Best Friend Rick meets?
Who was the mystery figure in the midseason finale post-credits scene?
One of her people.
Where did Father Gabriel go?
Jadis took him hostage.
It doesnt seem like this group was extracted from the comics, so its uncharted territory here.
Ricks group is led into a junkyard maze, where Jadis and her people have been since the outbreak.
She initially rebuffs the request and tries to kill them all, but its Gabriel who makes their case.
Intrigued, Jadis takes Rick to see the Bop pop?
Whatever it is, that turns out to be a gladiator walker.
Jadis admits times are changing, so her group may have to change, as well.
We learn later his name is Winslow, but Bob Bob has a better ring to it.
So if she gets more guns, shell fight their war against Negan.
If not, there will be serious consequences.
She goes back inside to finish reading her book but is disturbed again by a knock on her door.
Shes overwhelmed to see Daryl standing on her porch.
Turns out, he heard something from inside the wall and went to the pantry to investigate.
Why was Rick smiling at the end of the last episode?
Definitely not because he recognized anyone, as I initially thought.
NEXT: Caryl reunion
A few feet away, Rosita is now picking a fight with Tara.
Her solo attempts to attack Negan keep backfiring and putting the group at risk.
The two sit down for dinner before Daryl solemnly makes his way back to The Kingdom.
Daryl, nevertheless, plans to head back to Hilltop and prepare for battle.
Morgan glances over to Richard as Daryl leaves through the gates in the morning.
It wasnt a speech, but those words seem to have made an impact.
Id be surprised if Morgan is now all of a sudden ready to strike, but hes getting there.
