Ezekiel suffers a major blow
Ezekiels worst fear has come to pass.
We see a glimpse of Ezekiels true self through his daily regimen.
Another is a man who kissed his wife and newborn baby before picking up arms.
Another is Daniel, the redheaded soldier who remained by his kings side.
But as Alvaro said, he cant do that, which makes his death a deeper wound.
Alvaro is supporting his limping leader away from the dead when a bullet tears through his chest.
Ezekiel tries to get away, but his captor delights in his own wicked ways.
So together they turn to face the walkers.
(Recap continues on the next page.)
Theyre ultimately saved by Carol, who snuck into the Saviors compound during the commotion.
Did she choose to become the fierce warrior she is today?
She did, just as Ezekiel chose to become the king his people needed.
They take the bait.
One of them walks over and she easily takes him hostage.
Now Carol is the one who has the remaining two Saviors pinned down behind a car.
Thats when she spots Ezekiel and Jerry.
Does she stop the Saviors from transporting the machine gun, or does she save her allies?
She can only do one, so she chooses the latter.
Mission accomplished, but Ezekiels story isnt over yet.
Carol and Jerry are helping the king as best they can as they walk across walker-infested train tracks.
Ezekiels squad spotted one while they were tracking the lone Savior through the woods.
They venture to make their way across, hastily passing the injured Ezekiel back and forth between them.
Shiva sacrifices herself to rescue all three.
Theres something truly tragic when you lose an animal companion, and Shiva was more than a tame beast.
With Shiva gone, its both the loss of a loved one and the loss of King Ezekiel.
In the comics (MILD COMICS SPOILER ALERT), Ezekial descends into a depression after Shivas death.
Instead of facing the crowd, he silently walks off to be alone with his grief.
