The Walking Dead, Season 8, Episode 11

This episode begins with Daryl, Rosita, Tara and Dwight who are in the forest. Tara isn't happy about having Dwight with them. She thinks that they should kill him. The others find out that the doctor and Gabriel escaped from Negan's grasp and they figure that they are on their way back to Hilltop. The two men are indeed on their way but Gabriel is not well. There is something wrong with his sight. He is not a well man and the doctor, Carson, is worried about him. He thinks that Gabriel might be going blind. Carol and Morgan clash as Henry wants to know who killed his brother. Carol doesn't want him to kill anyone else. Morgan thinks that she should tell Henry. She tells Morgan to stand down.

Maggie is worried about food rations at the Hilltop. She talks to Gregory who suggests that he should be allowed out for a while every day. She refuses his request and she informs the others that they will not be getting any rations now. Negan and Eugene have a chat and Negan puts him in charge of making ammo. Carson and Gabriel find a house and they stay there. They also discover antibiotics which Gabriel takes to help with his infection. They end up being caught by the Saviors and Carson gets shot dead. Gabriel is brought back to the Sanctuary. He doesn't give Eugene away though.

Daryl and the others have to make their way through a walker infested swamp to get home. Tara ends up losing Dwight, who saves her from being caught by some Saviors who pass by. He pretends that he was caught up in an ambush and he survived it. He says that he didn't see anyone and takes the group away from where Daryl and the others are. Daryl and the others make their way back to the Hilltop and they tell Maggie and the others about Carl and everyone is upset. Maggie relents and she agrees to let the Saviour prisoners out for a few hours a day to work and get exercise.

The episode ends with Eugene suggesting that instead of bullets, Negan should use walker guts to infect the enemy. Negan is intrigued by this and he tells his minions to coat their weapons in the guts so that they can spread the infection to Rick and his group. He starts by covering Lucille with the walker innards and showing it to his followers. This was a slightly dull episode. There wasn't a lot happening. I think it is just setting up the final fight.
