Morgan makes it out alive and finds Carol - the stick and the gun united at last. Meanwhile, Morgan bears witness to the Savior escape plan: strategically shoot enough zombies to create a wall of walker bodies that gives them a chance to make a run for it. That sets up the kid to do something dumb, like run off to the Kingdom on his own. “You taught me the gun.” Carol, perhaps knowing she does not have a good record with child care, tells him to stay put. Henry, not surprisingly, insists on joining her mission to rescue Zeke. (Rimshot!) Carol conveniently knows of a little cottage that the Saviors have somehow not discovered and directs the Kingdom survivors to take shelter there. Given that most of the episode takes place in only two locations - the sewer and the Kingdom - and Carl’s swan song dominates the story, there’s still a lot to chew on. By the end of the night, I looked like Rick in those cutaway scenes, shaken and in need of some Visine. Carl may have been annoying at times - or all the time, perhaps - but he’s a TWD OG. Was it overwrought? Of course it was - isn’t everything on this show? But damn it, the melodrama was effective. Dwight gets yelled at Carl turns 50 shades of grey. Zeke and a Savior swap philosophies Carl writes good-bye notes. Unless the show was about to pull another Glenn-under-the-dumpster subterfuge, this was sure to be the Carl Grimes Memorial Episode.īut damn, TWD, did you have to do us like this? One minute we’re catching up with Carol and Morgan as they creep on the Kingdom. At least Hershel had the option of hacking his leg off to save himself even if it was possible to slice the bad meat out of Carl’s side, that wound looked like it had sunk in. A couple months ago, we saw Carl’s big reveal to Rick and Michonne - he was sporting a not-very fresh walker bite on his flank. Look, we all knew what was in store for this midseason premiere.
