Thus this ep named “Mercy” gives us the 1st appearance & influence behind Rick’s decision. As he is lying there, injured, he is considering “My mercy prevails over my wrath” (we’ll see how this comes to affect him) and decides at that moment that he is not gonna kill Negan. It’s his quote that Rick is mumbling when we see Red-eyed Rick (a glimpse of the future… probably the end of the season) as he is daydreaming (the happy family gearing for a party). He quoted from the Koran (I’m believing Siddiq is Muslim). Thinking the guy Carl is taking pity on may be Siddiq. I know there’s the lesser chance of jamming & whatnot, but damn… not for that plan. Also still trying to wrap my mind around Maggie using a revolver during this heavy shootout. Confident as he is, I don’t think he’d be stupid enough to walk out first & without a human shield… could’ve EASILY used Eugene. The only thing that would’ve made that scene a little easier to bear is if he would’ve walked out behind someone. Unacceptable that Negan wasn’t popped off at first site. Show’s been on a somewhat downward slope since the start of Season 6. What did YOU think of the Season 8 Premiere of The Walking Dead? Tell us in the comments! We cut back to Rick giving another speech, where he promises his people they’ve already won. Michonne tells him his people are gearing up for a festival. We get one final Rick vision, where we see Judith as a six-year-old. He holes up in a trailer and finds Negan, who delivers the infamous shitting pants line from the trailer. Walkers infiltrate The Sanctuary while Gabriel tries to find a way out. In the aftermath of The Sanctuary attack, Rick reunites with Daryl while Carol and Ezekiel embark on their own mission. Elsewhere, Carl returns to the gas station to give food to the survivor he found earlier. Gregory runs out and steals Gabriel’s ride and leaves. Rick almost kills Negan but Gabriel takes him as the walkers close in. The allied group ignites the RV by the fence. Some of Rick’s group blare the car horns while Daryl blazes an explosive path for the walkers toward The Sanctuary. Negan hears the commotion while Rick and his group open fire at The Sanctuary, causing Negan and The Saviors to retreat inside. While all this is playing out Daryl, Carol, Morgan, and Tara tripwire traveling Saviors nearby, blowing up their cars.
Not one person comes forward and Jesus yells, “The Hilltop stands with Maggie!” Shocked and disgusted that Gregory tricked them, Negan tells Simon to kick him off the balcony. Negan questions if Rick has the numbers to pull this off and then brings out Gregory, who asks The Hilltop to join the Saviors or risk getting kicked out of the colony. Rick offers peace in exchange for surrender. Negan emerges from his home amused and tells Rick and his group there’s no need to open fire over an ego-measuring contest. Rick experiences more of his dream, where he now walks around his kitchen and greets an older looking Michonne and Carl. Rick’s group arrives at The Sanctuary and fires collective warning shots meant to draw out Negan. Elsewhere, Tara, Morgan, Carol, and Daryl blow up a car to lure a horde of walkers down the road.
Ezekiel promises victory and Rick reminds Maggie how proud he is of her for leading The Hilltop. Rick and his crew meet up with Ezekiel, Maggie, Jesus, Gabriel, and others. he signals the rest of his team to move through. Rick lets him get eaten by a walker and now with the lookout clear. A bit later Rick robs a Savior who threatens him and his family. He bids farewell to Michonne and Carl while he and a fleet of armored cars depart Alexandria. Rick experiences another flash forward of him as an old man, this time waking up in a bed.īack in Alexandria Rick laments the upcoming battle with Father Gabriel, who’s surprisingly prepared for it. Meanwhile, Dwight sends a secret message to Daryl that reads “Tomorrow” while Tara and Carol wait out a walker horde on a bridge. Carl’s upset but Rick warns him he could have been a Savior. Carl tries to help a hungry stranger at a gas station, but Rick scares him away. As we see the communities prepare for battle, Rick experiences a trippy dream-like sequence where he’s an old man – it’s still not clear if it’s real or not. Rick, Maggie, and Ezekiel deliver an inspiring speech reminding their people they have a right to the world.
