Who Sang the Whisperers Are at Again My Dear They Say Were Anout to Part

Gone only non forgotten, The Walking Dead'southward Alpha once again reared her ugly head in Sunday's episode, in so doing changing the form of Carol's hereafter, Beta's… in a style, everybody's. Read on, and I'll explicate how.

'WALK ME THROUGH THOSE GATES Then I CAN Open UP A NEW Chapter IN THE Book OF NEGAN' | As the ominously-titled "Wait at the Flowers" began, we flashed dorsum to Carol making a deal with Negan: If he brought her the caput of her son's killer, and fast, she'd make sure that he was forgiven for the accidental death of Lydia's aggressor back in Episode 4. In the present, though as we well know he'd produced the chopped-off block that Carol had requested, she was dissatisfied with the speed with which he had achieved his chore. He'd had to earn the villainess' trust, he argued. "That southward— takes time." Well, he could exercise what he wanted equally far as Carol was concerned, only she wasn't going to aid his rebranding efforts in Alexandria. Not merely and then, anyway. "I demand to be alone," she said, "and due south— like that takes fourth dimension." (Oh, Carol, it takes a lot to brand me empathize more with Negan than yous, but you're doing information technology, lady. Y'all are doing it.)

Shortly thereafter, Beta and two Whisperers discovered Alpha's caput in Carol's trophy instance on a pike. "Y'all," gasped a Whisperer to whom nosotros will give the super creative name Whisperer No. 1. "Yous are the Alpha at present." Oo, Beta did not like that. Mm-mm. No, he had the fellow remove his mask, and so forced him to get close enough to Alpha's reanimated noggin for her to bite his ear off. "Can you hear her?" asked Beta while Whisperer No. two took a sudden involvement in cross-country running. (How Mr. B refrained from making a "Tin ya hear her now?" joke, I'll never empathize.) Anyway, Beta packed upwards Blastoff'southward head every bit advisedly as one would their favorite baby doll and walked Whisperer No. one into a small boondocks, where he let walkers finish what the boss lady had begun. Beta and so headed to what appeared to be his old stomping grounds: the back room of a bar, where in that location was a guitar, a affiche for Half Moon — the legendary vocalizer that he used to be — and a snippet of a lyric written on Grand Hotel jotter ("These 2 eyes meet ane truth"). Once he'd trashed the place — what, could there be a more rock-'n'-ringlet manner to grieve? — he tore off office of his mask and cranked one of his albums to depict a crowd of guardians outside. The following morning, he thanked Alpha's caput for putting an thought in his, concluded its argh'ing and began leading his new horde toward, presumably, Alexandria. Oh, and he'd stock-still the rip in his mask… past adding a piece of Alpha'south face to it. (And they say romance is dead.)

'PLEASE TELL ME We AREN'T REALLY ON A Journey TO Observe CHOCOLATE BUNNIES' | Meanwhile, at the safe business firm, Ezekiel beat himself up for failing the kids during the Hilltop fire. They were all fine, but it didn't matter to him. "These days," he sighed, "the mistakes seem to stick harder than the triumphs." When Magna arrived, alive and well-ish, she and Jerry enjoyed a warm reunion; apparently, being trapped in a cave with a agglomeration of walkers really bonds virtual strangers. With Rosita'south encouragement, Eugene announced that he'd been in communication with someone outside their group — someone that he was scheduled to see. Immediately, suspicious eyes turned toward him. How did they know this individual wasn't a spy like Dante had been? Before things got heated, Ezekiel spoke up, throwing what was left of his kingly weight around to say that he trusted Eugene's judgment. For his part, Eugene added that, after all that they'd just lost, if believing he might've made a new friend made him a fool, that was a role he was willing to play.

And so, off the smitten smarty-pants prepared to go with Ezekiel and Yumiko (who clearly hadn't, as I'd mistakenly thought, broken upwards with Magna). In an peculiarly sweet scene, Jerry said goodbye to his "boss" as if all as well aware that information technology might be the final time they saw each other. "The Kingdom needs you," Ezekiel told his dear friend. "Make sure our legacy lives on." Good advice, seeing every bit information technology didn't seem like Ezekiel had much longer. On the road, he soon realized anew that he was hardly in fighting shape. And when his horse keeled over, it occurred to him: "He wasn't potent enough to make the journey. Maybe I'm not, either." (I'll go ahead and say it for the horse: Ya couldn't take idea of that before yous rode me to death?!?) Rather than allow Ezekiel turn dorsum, Yumiko insisted that they were on their trip "to find out what'south possible, what none of the states can predict… or imagine." Hmm, like maybe proper medical care for Ezekiel? We tin can but hope. In the meantime, the group rode on and eventually entered a large metropolis. Everywhere they looked, it seemed like they found walkers, still moving but tied in place, positioned in tableaus that brought to mind life pre-apocalypse. What the actual… ? Did Eugene'south radio girlfriend have a peculiarly weird sense of humor? She'd struck me as more than serious than that. In whatsoever case, the young boa-clad woman they eventually encountered was one kooky ball of energy — similar Tank Girl on Red Bull. "Oh my God!" she exclaimed when she saw them. "Hi!" (Merely look at the movie in a higher place; she's gonna be a pip!)

'YOUR Runway RECORD DOES Non INSPIRE Confidence' | On her walkabout, Ballad was dogged every footstep of the way by visions of an Alpha who was far less crazy-lady and far more Hateful Girls. She dropped the names of all those Carol had lost, equally if reading from a White Pages of the deceased, and suggested that if our tortured heroine returned to Alexandria, she'd just lose more people — perchance fifty-fifty Daryl. And Carol was "not taking this caput," Alpha added, knocking on her noggin. "Unless you take your own." (Apparently, the Alpha of Carol'due south imagining was a lot like Negan for real: She never shut upwardly!) On and on, Alpha prattled, about how she knew the truth, and so did Ballad, something well-nigh a letter Ballad had sent Maggie about her bald nemesis… Blastoff was all over the place with it until finally Carol fell through the rotted floor of a shack from which she was trying to retrieve (I call back that was) a gunkhole. As a walker, as one e'er does, approached, Blastoff beckoned information technology. "This fashion, friend!" she said, calculation that Carol should "simply look at the flowers similar you're supposed to." (Told ya imaginary Alpha was mean.) Needless to say, Carol managed to costless herself, kill the walker and return to Alexandria (with what I imagined had to exist at least a dislocated shoulder). She is clearly going to live to be older than Betty White.

While all this was going on, Negan went to retrieve Lydia from the shack in which he'd stashed her. As you know, she wasn't there. Just Daryl was. Negan was quick to explicate about the deal that he'd struck with Ballad, but when he tried to evidence he'd kept up his end of the bargain, of course, Alpha's caput was gone. After Daryl raised his crossbow to offer his performance review of Negan'south supposed handiwork — if he'd beheaded Alpha, he hadn't done information technology fast enough — the men were caught off baby-sit by a couple of Whisperers who, per Alpha'due south own rules, regarded her killer equally the new Alpha. (Swear to God the reversal of fortune brought Negan thisclose to laughing at Daryl like he was Nelson from The Simpsons.) Negan's first lodge of concern was to take abroad the only rifle in play; his second was to brand Daryl kneel earlier the Alpha. "You lot should probably shoot me," said Daryl. "Don't threaten me with a skillful time," Negan replied. And with that, he and Daryl took out the Whisperers. The post-obit twenty-four hours, as the men gave up waiting for Carol to render (or return Blastoff'south head to its expressway), Negan admitted that he had liked being with the Whisperers. "It was nice feeling like I mattered again… just [Blastoff] took it too far. You don't impale people who don't deserve it," he said, "and y'all never kill kids." (People who don't deserve it? Uh, tell that to Denise, Glenn, Abraham, Olivia… Need I proceed?) "Is that supposed to make me similar yous?" asked Daryl. "What about my winning personality?" Negan replied. Despite the flaw to Negan's logic, this could be the beginning of a beautiful — straaange — friendship.

So, what did yous think of the episode's large Beta reveal? Eugene'due south new friend? Daryl and Negan's buddy one-act? Hit the comments.
