- South Bank Gamelan Players (percussion instrument ensemble; UK)Carol cruises along in a car covered in rebar spikes. She’s certainly not being subtle. In the distance she sees another vehicle approaching. It’s an unusual and dangerous sight. As the truck passes, they shoot out her tires. Carol knows she’s screwed. The men in the truck force her out. She’s playing scared little mouse again. She promises that she only has the car and one knife but they’re not buying it. They recognize her spiked car and want her to bring them into Alexandria. Ah ha! They’re Saviors. Carol starts her hyperventilating trick. “It doesn’t have to be this way. You can turn back and go home,” she pleads. “Nobody has to get hurt.” But they don’t want to play her game. As the men start towards her, they’re mowed down by machine gun fire. Carol came prepared with a gun sewn into her jacket sleeve. She tried to warn you… The driver who survived the gunfire gets a spear shoved thru his chest. She uses his gun on the other survivor. So far Carol’s plan to leave Alexandria to avoid killing isn’t working out so well. Uh oh. There is one survivor that plays dead until she leaves. 
Rick and Morgan get into deep conversation as they search for Carol. “What I believe, I’m not right,” Morgan admits. “There is no right. Just a wrong that doesn’t pull you down.” Rick claims it hasn’t pulled him down but I think he doth protest too much. And then they come across the scene of Carol’s massacre. As they survey her work, Morgan reminds Rick that Carol left because she couldn’t kill anymore. “She could because she had to,” Rick protests. “Sometimes you have to.” They follow a trail of blood through a field, hoping it will lead to Carol. The surviving Savior picks up Carol’s dropped crucifix and heads out after them. As Rick and Morgan plod along they continue their eternal conversation. Morgan points out that after Rick banished Carol from the prison, she turned around and saved them all at Terminus. “People can come back, Rick.” After killing a walker that looked like Carol from a distance (whew!), they end up at a barn. They see a man fighting walkers and Rick immediately draws his gun. The man claims he’s just looking for his horse and warns them that more walkers are coming. As a small swarm descends on them, the man starts to run. Rick aims at him instead of the walkers but Morgan shoves him off target. Rick is pissed. “I don’t take chances anymore.” Morgan is all out of fucks so he tells Rick about taking the wolf hostage. Steam is practically pouring out of Rick’s ears but Morgan plows on. He tells Rick how the wolf initially took Dr Denise hostage but then saved her from the walkers. “And then Denise was there to save Carl. It’s all a circle.” Although he stands behind his decision about the wolf, Morgan treats searching for Carol as atonement. He sends Rick home to protect Alexandria with a promise to return. “But if I don’t, don’t come looking.” Rick gives him a gun and sends him on his way.
Get caught up on The Walking Dead before the season finale HERE!
After a cute moment bonding over pickles, Maggie asks Enid to cut all of her hair off. She no longer wants anything getting in her way, figuratively or literally. Suddenly she’s grabbing her stomach and screaming in pain. Not the baby! Not now!
This episode felt like a stalling tactic to get to the showdown next week. So, they know they are soon to be under attack from the Saviors and all the premium warriors head off on their own little quests for revenge, for redemption, for, as you say, atonement?
Poor Maggie. It would almost be a blessing to lose that baby, given what’s coming for them. This season started out with such promise and is now sputtering to conclusion, out of gas, given up. Just like Carol.
They needed to get the chess pieces into position.
Almost all of the fan faves are in danger at this point. As I said in an other post, Maggie told Rick that by helping the Jesus people with the saviors, there would be a price. I think that price is about to be paid in this finale. I’m stocked up on my Kleenex, just in case.
It’s been a long time since we lost a core member. I’m afraid we’re in for a doozy next week!
Completely disagree with the ‘out of gas’ comment above by Katherine.
Was that Ezequiel in the barn from the comics?
Rick really needed that time with Morgan. Someone has to balance and check Rick’s no taking chances approach.
How many alexandrians are there?
Carol… It was never shown that she was actually shot. Yet Rick and Morgan are following a trail.  She didn’t have to leave her car either. And then the creepy rapist smile guy who played dead, just follows…. Maybe it’s his blood. Disgusting.
Haha. That’s cool. You’re entitled to disagree, but you don’t exactly say WHY.
The out of gas comment, to me, implies that the action and story development becomes lazy and serves minimal purpose.
The Same Boat episode was a great nod and social commentary to the week of international woman day with how tough a woman can be. The motherhood internalization that Maggie and Chel exchanged was phenomenal. Subtle but strong. Carols reflection with the other savior, Paula, was also a huge turn for a core character of our beloved group becuase Carol starts to feel remorse for the necessary kills she’s had to make and doesn’t want to become like this savior. It’s here, when as an audience, we begin to worry if Carol is putting on an act or being really anxious.
Twice as Far really showcased the personal relationships in our larger group dynamic. Eugene’s growth of the bullet manufacturing idea shows promise for Alexandria while showing growth for Eugene. Then the reapearance of Dwight is crazy. We loose Denise and I almost lose it. Perfectly performed and shockingly devastating. Back to Dwight: he will be a driving force for our beloved Daryl. Killing Denise with Daryls crossbow will be all sorts of wrong for the future.
And finally the East Side showed the force the original group has when one of them is in trouble. Push come to shove, nothing matters, not even an angelic and peaceful town, if one of them is in trouble. Carol and Daryl will be sought after no matter what. This episode is the one that convinces me that Glen might be saved. All three episodes didn’t feature him as much as I expected if they were really going to follow the comic book final story.
Those were my whys. Confession, I actually enjoy the slower episodes more than the action packed ones. I feel like the action ones try too hard sometimes.
The attack of Negans camp with Hilltops ‘head offering’ was forced to me. The gun shoot out sequence seemed like it was trying to hard. I actually admire the character development by the actors and writers more than the action packed stunts and choreographed fighting. It feels more real to me.
Thanks, Espi. I do love talking about this show. I agree with your assessment of the previous shows, but this one felt random and out of character for me.
I understand Lady Cocotte’s comment about setting up the chess board. Obviously, they are setting the scene for a bigger showdown, but I felt it was clumsy and not as coherent as past similar episodes.
If you read below, you see I have no problem with the quiet episodes, as long as we see them moving the story forward. This one felt stagnant, and quite frankly, I was shocked to see characters respond to a threat by running around outside the safe zone instead of preparing for what is to come. But of course, people are people and don’t always act in character, especially under extreme stress, but some of it just made no sense to me. Daryl is a major disappointment; Carol leaving because she doesn’t want to kill and she
