Dead Viewing: Season 8, Episode 10-"The Lost and the Plunderers"

***WARNING***
***You may want to stop here.***
***There will be spoilers.***
***This is not a review. It is just my thoughts as I'm watching the show.***
***I update during commercials.***
Remember, I'm just writing what I see and reacting.

Michonne and Rick have just finished burying Carl. They taking a look at what is left of Alexandria. For a moment Rick thinks about leaving the gun Carl used to kill himself hanging on the cross. When Michonne returns to their home, she breaks down when she sees Carl and Judith's handprints. They try to put out the fire at the gazebo, but give up. As they leave Alexandria, Rick asks Michonne what did Carl mean. Did he just want them to give up? Michonne suggests reading the letters. Rick's not ready, but Michonne finds that Carl wrote a letter to Negan. He tells her he needs to talk to Jadis, but Michonne is not sure. And of course, there is a trap. Michonne and Rick are trapped in the dump pit surrounded by what looks like what used to be the heapsters.

Negan...ugh, I'm so sick of him. He's looking for Rick and the crew. He realizes that Carl played him. They don't know what's happened to Gavin, and they think all is well at Hilltop, and Simon is not happening. He wants Simon to go and turn the trash people to their side. Simon thinks that the Saviors should cut their losses considering the Hilltop, Alexandria, Kingdom, etc. won't learn their lesson. Simon thinks the Savior way has not been working well lately. OH, a delivery from the Hilltop you say? Maggie's present has arrived. Dean's dead, and Simon is ticked because those are his people. Negan tells him he will stand will stand down and do his job...

Well, the fish people have Enid and Aaron, and they are going to allow Cindy to decide what to do with them. Well, that was quick. Cindy decides they live, but tells them don't come back. Aaron has decided that he will stay behind, but Enid needs to go tell Maggie not to come there. So, Enid is on her own to return to the Hilltop.

Now, to Simon. Simon is at the dump heap. This must be before Rick and Michonne arrived. He tells Jadis that she needs to apologize for helping Rick. Jadis said no deal with Rick that she delivered him to them. Simon says BS, but he says that Negan wants them to go back to their deal, and all is forgiven. There is a condition that they give up their guns. Heapsters don't want to give up the guns. He tells them that they will protect them if need be. Jadis gives up the gun. There is a helipad and solar panels at the dump? What was it? Simon wants to know, too. Now, he feels that they should apologize. She tell him there is remorse, and he shoots one of her people. She says it again, and he shoots another. Then, he kills all of her people. Simon done messed up. He lies to Negan, who has just received a call from Rick via CB.

Oh, so Jadis can talk like a normal person. She said that they made this into a canvas. Rick says he is done with Jadis who is sitting on the heap in a gown. Rick doesn't help her get out. He says that she is useless. She calls her people to her. She has a Chipper, and she is chopping She chops them all up into a pile of sludge. She alone is left at the dump. She had food hidden. What else is she hiding in the dump?

Rick says that he didn't want Jadis dead, he just wanted her gone. Now, he has left with the letters Carl wrote to him and Negan and the CB. He reads Negan's first. Tells him that Carl asked them both to stop it. Rick says that he is going to kill Negan. Negan is visibly shaken over Carl's death. Negan blames Rick for Carl's death. He tells him that he should shut this down. Negan tells Rick that he failed as a leader and a father, and he should give up because he has already lost.

Until next week, y'all...
