Remember, I'm just writing what I see and reacting.
Henry is being operated on under watchful eye. She asks Daryl if they are heading to the Kingdom. he says eventually, but Carol should know. I like Connie who steps to Michonne with a note that says she'd do it all again, but with better shoes. Okay, my service jumped to a commercial for some reason, and when it comes back, Jocelyn looks to be running and tells Michonne that she needs help. Flash to a warehouse where Gabriel, Rosita, Eugene, Aaron, and Michonne go to the building where the newcomers come from and find even more kids. Present day, Michonne tells Henry that she needs to talk to Lydia. He thanks her for letting people go to the fair. She tells him if she had known about this situation that she wouldn't have. She tells Lydia that she has done a lot of things to protect this place and her people. She tells her it might have been easier if the only life she had to risk was hers and just walk away and make everyone else's life easier. She tells Lydia to think about that.
Judith asks Daryl if Hilltop is in trouble. He says he doesn't know. He told her that Lydia just tagged along. She asks if Daryl is going to stay. He says no that he is going to move along. He tells her that her mother was right protecting her and RJ from everything. Judith doesn't agree. She then asked what would Rick do, and Daryl's non-response is enough for Judith to know that Rick would not agree with Michonne. She and Jocelyn talk about how she ended up with all those children. She tells her that the parents all died. Jocelyn and Michonne went to college together. Jocelyn encouraged her to look for Rick. Flashback to the present and Daryl and his group are leaving. Michonne says that Judith is mad at her. Daryl says she doesn't understand, and that Michonne should tell Judith what happened. Michonne stares at a manhole cover that has been sealed. Judith slept over with Jocelyn and her kids. When they go to the house where Jocelyn is staying to get Judith, everyone is gone. Scott finds out they have raided the pantry raided and one of her people dead, the infirmary has been raided, and Jocelyn and her kids have stolen Judith. They have slipped out through the sewer throught that manhole cover. Jocelyn and her kids are why Michonne is against newcomers.
Michonne is riding a horse, and what is going on with the commercials tonight? Present day, the Grimes are having dinner. Judith asks to be excused. During the night, Michonne gets up, and we see the scar again. Michonne goes to Judith's room to tell her something, and she finds Judith gone. Michonne goes to see Negan and asks Negan what Judith talks to him about. He tells her that he tells her the things that Michonne does not tell her. He also tells her that Judith is just like her, and she does not take stuff lying down. Michonne starts looking for Judith again and finds a note saying that she is going to help her friends. Flashback to Michonne and Daryl looking for Judith. Michonne tells him that Jocelyn had been a good friend, and she wanted that again, so she let her guard down. She tells him that she should have sensed it. He tells her that Jocelyn wasn't like her that she hid her evil with a mask, and again, a stupid commercial break. Michonne and Daryl enter a school, and they attacked by what appears to be Jocelyn's kids, and again with the weird commercial breaks!!!!
Michonne and Daryl are strung up and gagged. Daryl appears to be trying to loosen his ropes. The little blond boy, Linus brands Daryl with the X. Jocelyn tells them the strong survive and thrive and children are capable of anything. Linus then brands Michonne. Present day, Michonne is biking and find Judith's bike in the midst of some walkers. Meanwhile, Daryl has broken loss and broken free and freed Michonne who tells him they need to split up. She fights off two kids one of whom wounds her in the stomach, as she tries to get to Judith, Jocelyn attacks her again, and she kills Jocelyn. Michonne doesn't want to kill these kids, but she is killing them all to get to Judith. Winnie one of Jocelyn's kids doesn't attack and runs away, and Michonne is finally reunited with Judith. Michonne finally finds Judith who is seemingly handling her own with the walkers, but one grabs her, and she yells for Michonne who kills the walker and tells her that they need to talk.
Michonne tells Judith the story, and how she thought she had been brainwashed. Judith tells Michonne that she remembered, and she said they were all bad people. Michonne tells her she did everything because she thought she did understand. MIchonne tells her that it is not so simple helping everybody. She asks Michonne when did we stop loving our friends. She said they didn't. She takes Judith to Carl's grave. She said she promised that she would never bury another child. Then she lost her father and Judith. She said that's when she decided that they would not let anyone in because that kept Judith and RJ safe which is all she wanted, but not what Carl and Rick would have wanted. She says they will protect all the people they love. Judith and Michonne find Daryl and his crew and they are all headed to the Kingdom. We see two Whisperers who have found their way into the Kingdom. Okay, I'm not cool with this surrounding of our crew next week.. Until then, y'all...
FYI, I waited until the show ended, because Jocelyn looked so familiar, and I could not place her. I've never seen True Blood, but I have seen Rutina Wesley in Queen Sugar. She was awesome tonight...
