In the opening scene Carol takes down a walker, turns to Maggie and says 'you're staying here' Carols raises her gun to Maggie and shoots a guy standing behind her. Maggie goes to finish the job as the guy only has a flesh wound. A woman tells her to stop as she points a gun to Carol's head. Two more women appear, one of them much older. Maggie and Carol are told to lower their weapons.


Cuts to morning with a POV shot through some binoculars watching Negan's base. They see Daryl take down the guy who takes off on his bike. Rick offers a trade over the walkie, the captors are not too happy with a 2 for 1 trade but Rick explains they have no choice. They cover Maggie and Carol's heads with their coats and the scene ends.

The Saviors are threatening, they own Hilltop but for now, they didn’t do anything to Alexandria. They threatened Daryl, Abe and Sasha but it resulted in their end, so it ended pretty fair. Rick and co decided to go and attack them first, so in their eyes, Rick and co are the bad guys.


For once, The Walking Dead will focus on its lady characters, and it will be absolutely amazing. Carol and Maggie are both such great and compelling characters. They will both bring something special and different to the episode making it excellent and interesting.

Maggie will have to face danger while being pregnant, that will be something new for her. She was prepared to the possibility but it has become a fact. Morning sickness are never fun when you’re pregnant, but it might be even worse when you’re being kidnapped. So, yeah, the Saviors will learn about Maggie’s pregnancy. Maggie carrying life inside her will cause a little debate among the Saviors and it could also make her a target.


And Carol, who is still having a hard time because of all the people she had to kill, will have to deal with the possibility of killing again if she wants to get out of alive. You’ll never eat meat on a skewer again after you see what Carol does to one of the female captors.

Carol’s uncanny ability to pretend to be somebody she’s not is highlighted again as Carol convinces her captors she is panicked, scared and in need of comfort from some rosary beads. Little do her captors know that these will make a great cutting tool and as always, Carol has a plan.


The episode ends with Rick asking the guy who tried to escape on the bike if Negan is or ever was at the base. The guys says 'both, I'm Negan shithead'. He then tells Rick that they are going to have a fun talk. Rick raises his gun to the guys head 'I'm sorry it had to come to this' and pulls the trigger.
