The Walking Dead, Season 8, Episode 10

Last time, we said goodbye to Carl. This episode begins with Rick and Michonne, who are mouring their loss. Michonne sees walkers coming into Alexandria. There is a hole in the wall. The place is being wrecked by the walkers and Rick and Michonne have to leave. They look around and remember Carl as they go. Michonne looks through the letters and she finds one for Negan which makes them both think. They are going to visit Jadis and try and get her to help them. They drive in there but there is a booby trap and they end up stuck.

Cut to Negan and Simon. They chat about what happened in Alexandria. Negan wants Simon to go to the Scavengers and frighten them by killing one or two. Simon wants to wipe them out, but Negan tells him no. Simon goes off to the junkyard and finds Jadis and her Scavengers. He talks to her about their deal that they had. Simon demands that they surrender their weapons and they have to do it.
Simon demands an apology from her for siding with Rick and she does give him one. Simon goes mad and he orders his men to shoot all of the Scavengers, except for Jadis. She escapes. He goes back to Negan and tell him that everything is fine, but he doesn't tell him about the slaughter. Negan is satisfied as he hears that Rick is calling on the walkie talkie.

Rick and Michonne find Jadis wandering around and looking lost. She shows them the way out. She offers to join them, but Rick tells her no. He forces her to go at gunpoint. She is being chased by walkers. She uses a machine to destroy more walkers and then she sits in the junkyard alone. Rick and Michonne get out and Rick calls Negan on the walkie talkie. He reads the letter Carl left to Negan. It contains a plea for peace. Rick doesn't believe that this will happen. Negan is upset to hear of Carl's death. Negan blames Rick for Carl's death and tells him that he needs to stop fighting. He tells Rick that he is a failure as a father and a leader and he urges him to surrender before more of his people get killed.

This episode was interesting. I was surprised when the Scavengers were wiped out. Simon is going against Negan and that spells trouble. It was interesting to see Jadis as a real person and not just the odd leader she was. Seeing that Negan was genuinely upset over Carl's death was a good scene but he doesn't really strike me as the emotional type!
