The goings-on at the three settlements are a mix of story lines that continue to slowly play out and reintroduce characters we haven’t seen in a minute. “Talks too much.” Amen, sister! To the shipping-container sweat lodge you go!

But talks go south when Rick delivers his ultimatum, which is essentially the same offer he’s giving the Saviors.

Credit to Rick for trying to speak her language - remember, folks, she didn’t shoot him, she grazed him - and for using those Polaroids to prove he really has the upper hand on Negan. Any chance for more uncomfortable sexual tension with Rick disappears when Jadis puts on a negotiation-appropriate outfit and engages in her bizarre conversational haiku. As not expected, we find Jadis expressing her artistic side while wearing a long smock and nothing else. (The distant laughter you heard after that line was courtesy of Robert Kirkman and AMC’s executives.)Īs expected, Rick’s solo gambit brings him to the Scavengers. Will this be their “last fight,” though? No chance. It’s time to bring the Negan story line to an end. Are they on the verge of ending this, as Rick declares? Hopefully. With the Saviors surrounded by undead and cut off from supplies, Rick is counting on an offer they won’t refuse: Surrender or die. In a world without email or snail mail, sometimes you have to Ricksplain your strategy via voice-overs and hand-delivered notes (and use an old microwave as a mail box). Two days - that’s the timeline for the completion of Rick’s master plan, which lines up perfectly for the midseason finale in two weeks.

It’s another ping-pong affair as we bounce between Hilltop, the Kingdom, the three Alexandrians who defy Rick’s order to stay put, and Officer Friendly’s final move before the real final move. The Walking Dead is becoming more and more like an NFL football game - an hour-long special with a lot of huddles, talking, and commercials with roughly four minutes of quality action. Spock’s curious trash-sculpture-making attire, Rick joining Junkyard Hot Spa, and two jaw-dropping action sequences that redeem an otherwise slow hour. Let’s close out this holiday weekend by giving thanks to this episode’s highlights: the sight of Gregory weeping in the fetal position, Ms. Photo: Jackson Lee Davis/AMC/AMC Film Holdings LLC.
