![]() Maggie and little Hershel, she recalls, once found a feeble old man who offered food in exchange for help. Seeing that Alden is furious over her decision to let Gage die, she shares a horrifying story that helps to explain why and how she can make those impossible life-or-death decisions. ![]() Tough as she has become, Maggie’s face suggests she’s still shaken by what unfolded. Mags and company can only watch as his chest is torn open and he’s slowly devoured. The door stays shut and Gage goes out with dramatic flair - he pulls out not one but two knives, stabs himself, and maintains eye contact with Maggie as he falls into the arms and mouths of the walkers. Alden wants to help Gabe agrees with Maggie. It’s a brutal scene as the kid pleads, then gets angry, then apologizes and begs for another chance. She issues an order to leave the door closed and let Gage fend for himself. But Maggie’s concerned that saving Gage will open the zombie floodgates and doom them all. Gage is trapped in the car behind them and it’s filling up with walkers, fast. Negan’s saved by Gage, the Hilltopper who fled in the previous episode after Negan’s speech about Maggie leading them all to a certain death. But no one believes Negan is trying to be a good soldier Maggie’s pal Agatha says, “Nod and it happens,” with “it” meaning I’ll kill him for you. There’s a difference, he insists, between trying to kill her and simply not helping her - and let’s remember, she’s on the record for wanting Negan dead. A whole lotta drama quickly unfolds, starting with her confrontation with Negan, who stands firm in his decision to abandon her. Of course, she finds a way out of the pickle that Negan left her in - specifically, by crawling under the train (which might have been a much better option for everyone). There are also two major reveals that could not be further apart on the good news/bad news spectrum.Ĭonsider Maggie to be alone at the top of the badass org chart. “As a lawyer, it comes naturally.” She delivers on that promise, and a stark contrast is drawn between those who’ve emerged as steely leaders and others - well, mostly Eugene - shown signs of buckling under pressure. Miko is confident in her plan to confront the powers that be: “Cold as ice, demand results,” she says. Princess, meanwhile, is more amazed that Yumiko’s bro kept a photo in an actual wallet for 10-plus years. She can’t believe that the Commonwealth seems real - a structured and secure mini-state. Early in this episode, we return to the Commonwealth, where Yumiko suggests a new strategy to find her brother and figure out what this place is all about.
