In this week's ‘The Walking Dead’, the episode started with
tall trees in a wooded area with sunlight streaming through the branches. It
almost looked tranquil, had I not known what was beneath those branches in the
undergrowth. Rick and Michonne were out scavenging for weapons in order to prepare
for the fight against Negan. It's been set up to suggest that they've been out
for a while, with little luck. Ever since Rick and Michonne became a couple,
the fandom exploded with the name, “Richonne”. While they seem to be an
extremely popular couple, I'm yet to see the appeal. Anyway, while Michonne was
driving (and not keeping her eyes on the road very much), she was explaining to
Rick why they should return back to camp soon. However, Rick seemed optimistic
that they were going to find the treasure very soon and that they didn't need
to return just yet.
Back at Alexandria, Tara approached Rosita tending to her
facial wound, offering to help her with it. Rosita is definitely not my
favourite, I understand it's the zombie apocalypse and the world is ending but
she needs to take a leaf out of “Richonne”’s book and lighten up a little bit. The
episode cuts swiftly back to Rick and Michonne where they find a military
Walker with a decent sized weapon on its back. Realising that's their target,
they go on the lookout for more Walkers alike. Rosita is also out on the
warpath, searching for weapons by herself. I can already tell that this isn't
going to end well and was quickly proved right when a less than pleasant
looking zombie attacked her. This episode jumped back and forth quite a lot and
before I knew it, we were back to Rick and Michonne. Just as they're admiring a
mass of Walkers with weapons hanging off their backs, they fall through the
roof of the building they were stood on. However, every cloud has a silver
lining because the room they fell into stored more food than they could've
imagined. Tucking in to some questionable pouches, they discussed life after
Negan, life after the war has been won. Michonne suggests that Rick should be
in charge, but would being the leader of masses of people eventually get to his
head?
“Richonne” finally take on the herd of zombies but it
appears they've bitten off more than they can chew when they start getting shot
at and Michonne hops into the boot of Rick’s car. Inevitably, the car gets
surrounded by Walkers and they find themselves in a bit of a pickle. I'm not
sure if it was poor or perfect timing but out the corner of his eye, Rick spots
the deer Michonne tried hunting earlier. Next thing we know, Michonne is
staring down in horror at a group of Walkers enjoying a feast on some poor
creature. Obviously, the victim is the deer but Michonne doesn't know that and
drops her sword in despair, thinking that Rick became a zombie snack. It’s not
long before she's put out of her misery though when Rick suddenly appears and
order is restored. The next step is to present Jadis with the weapons and they
end up striking a deal. However, Tara reveals she has something to tell Rick. I
can only hope it's the location of the camp she came across earlier in the
season. The episode ends with Sasha and Rosita planning to go on their own to
kill Negan. They're both aware that they probably won't be coming back but to
be honest, I wouldn't miss either character. My hopes for the next episode is
that the groups will develop their fight against Negan, and things might start
to get more interesting.
