![]() Her weapons of choice were evident in how she dealt with threats: a knife and a gun. Carol saw the Wolves as a threat that needed to be eliminated. We knew from last week that Morgan was on to Carol, and I couldn’t wait to see how Carol “Look at the Flowers” Peletier would work with the new, killing-averse Morgan. ![]() The most interesting character development came with Morgan and Carol. After watching this child essentially ride out a good chunk of the apocalypse alone, I understand. Her demeanor on the show made it evident that she had been through the wringer prior to her arrival in Alexandria, but I had always found it interesting that she was handling everything so much worse than Carl. We finally got a glimpse into Enid’s backstory, as well as the mantra that has kept her alive: JSS or “just survive somehow.” Enid watched her parents die in a walker attack-though it’s unclear how she survived and they didn’t-and then proceed to wander aimlessly through the wilderness, snacking on the occasional tortoise, until she found Alexandria. I can’t help but wonder if Deanna will even go as far as to pass off her leadership role to someone more capable, like Maggie. ![]() I think the main reason for Deanna’s complete disengagement from the attack was to make a clear point that Alexandria has been incredibly sheltered, and that from that point on, things will be very different for them all. After the fight finished, Deanna’s son, Spencer, asked Rita how she managed to live in “a world like that”, and Rita made a comment about having something to live for. Someone who did not rise to the occasion was Deanna, who spent most of the episode wearing expressions of varying levels of horror. Jessie’s been through a ton, so it’s understandable that this huge invasion broke her a bit, but I’m interested to see where she goes from here, especially in relation to Ron. Though she got knocked around a bit, Jessie ultimately grabbed a pair of scissors and went nuts on the Wolf-just as Ron walked in. That is, until one of the Wolves came into her home. She was in the house with Sam when the attack started and had to ride out most of it hiding in a closet with her son. Jessie, on the other hand, kind of snapped this episode. Not a super smart move, since literally no one in Alexandria knows how to fight, but I guess it’s good that Ron has his pride, right? He essentially spent the entire episode brooding, and when Carl offered to take Ron in and protect him, Ron defiantly refused. We learned that Ron has officially taken up the “annoying teen” mantle that Carl has happily left behind. Plot-wise, the episode was thin, really centering around, “The Wolves attack Alexandria, and they fight for survival.” However, the action kept you at the edge of your seat the entire time, and because the “main characters” like Rick, Daryl, Glenn, and Michonne were not featured in the entire episode, we got to learn about some of the “tertiary” characters like Jessie, Enid, Ron, and Deanna, to name a few: Carl proved he has left childish things behind him, actually staying in the house, protecting his sister and Enid. Carol finally bid adieu to cookies and sweater sets and settled back into her role as “Rambo Carol” by dressing up as one of the Wolves, raiding the Alexandria armory, and killing any Wolf she saw. The entire thing centered around Alexandria dealing with an attack from the infamous Wolves (who, as we suspected last week, were responsible for the honking). … and then watches her get hacked to death by a strange man with a machete.įrom that moment on, the episode didn’t stop. Carol pops a casserole in the oven, she starts the timer, looks out the window to see her friend smoking … Carl was offering to teach Father Gabriel to fight and getting a little sad because Enid was cozying up to Ron. Carol was meeting with some of the other Alexandria women talking about pasta makers and quitting smoking. Maggie and Deanna were talking about planting crops. Eugene and Tara were meeting the new Alexandria doctor, Denise-who, though she went to med school, was actually a practicing psychiatrist prior to the walker uprising. Jessie and Ron were fighting over Ron’s behavior and whether or not Rick is a good man. Starting a tad bit before the honking that diverted the walker herd being led by Daryl on his bike, this week’s episode started out pretty slow-some might even say it was a bit boring.
