ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: We saw Carl has been bitten.
We know its going to be fatal.
How much of episode 809 is coming full circle back to 801?Thats a really good question.
There is a deep relationship between the two episodes.
It scrambles some things.
But Carls presence is felt very deeply in the story throughout the story.
Its a critical aspect of the season.
We saw what happened in many ways.
Now its where are they going to go?
What are they going to do?
Is it a question of beating Negan or just surviving at this point?
Is it a last stand?
Is it a surrender?
Is it an escape?
There are those big philosophical questions but then there are practical questions that just kind of surmount everything.
Which is: How do they survive the night?
