Again, it seems like weve barely made any headway toward a conclusion to this arc.
Perhaps the children will be able to snap these prattling adults out of their funk.
That was the biggest takeaway: the little ones.

With a wooden staff in hand, he says he wants to fight, despite his peanut size.
But Carol shuts him down…in so many words.
(Goddamn it, Jerry!)
She finds Ezekiel sitting on the theaters stage with Shivas chains draped over his huddled form.
As tears drip down her face, she says, You are real to me, to the Kingdom.
Yet he says he cant do it.
The Widow
Aaron returns to Hilltop with the infant Savior and presents Maggie with a letter.
Carol and Rick have also received notes, updating them all on their individual progress and their losses.
Just outside the Hilltop fence, Jesus is tossing some of the extra turnip supply to the prisoners.
Maggie storms toward Jesus with Gregory and Enid at her back about this waste of their resources.
She says, We have to end this.
He says, We have to verify whats left is worth what we lost.
As night falls, Jesus and the prisoners can hear the colony at work building something.
They fear its the gallows, which Gregory first suggested when he was mouthing off.
Dillon further stokes Jesus fears as he tells his tale of being someone good with his hands.
Under Negan, he was sent to build a fence at the outpost when Jesus forces attacked.
Now, here he is, a seemingly innocent man caught in the crosshairs.
The next morning, Maggie calls for the prisoners to come inside the walls.
There arent any gallows, but instead a pen to hold the Saviors for the time being.
Gregory once again objects to this action, then finds himself thrown into the pen.
As he said himself, Maggie cant have someone they dont trust walking about freely within their walls.
(Recap continues on the next page.)
And Rick
Rick approaches Jadis in the hopes of striking another deal but why?
She turns him down and locks him up, which seems like that was his initial plan all along.
His son, though, is trying to make better decisions.
(About 237.)
How many people have you killed?
(One, because the dead tried to kill him but didnt finish the job.)
There are no effects beyond the sound of a gunshot.
Its not the quality weve all come to expect from this show.
Rosita is following along.
On the way, they stop to investigate some choral music coming from somewhere in the woods.
The explosion distracts Michonne, and the other Savior escapes in the truck.
The duo had met at Alexandria as Michonne and Rosita were leaving.
Turns out they were heading in the same direction as their comrades anyway.
They take Michonne and Rosita to see The Sanctuary before stating theyre going to end this all right now.
But the pieces are in place for this good luck to unravel.
If that happens, not even the childrens model behavior will be enough set them on the right path.
