Remember, I'm just writing what I see and reacting.
Welcome back, everybody!!! Last week, introduced us to life without Rick Grimes, and that life apparently included a break between the once close surviving groups. While it was a good episode, I wish we could have seen the immediate aftermath of the "death" of Rick Grimes. I'm ultra-curious as to why Daryl left all the groups (probably guilt), and why Hilltop, Alexandria, and the Kingdom have splintered. I'm also curious about this Fair, I mean, Faire (you know that Ezekiel is fancy and extra). I also want to know exactly what that X is on Michonne's back.
The Whispering Walkers are closing in on Rosita who is running alone with no sigh of Eugene. The voices are getting closer when she collapses. Seeing traps that apparently Daryl has made for his life off the "grid." C. Thomas Howell, did I just see that name pop up on my screen? Daryl also has a dog and has been living like Huck Finn apparently on a raft. Siddiq is questioning Michonne about the group. The New group has a rig some where. Magna still wants her knives. HIlltop is looking fantastic. Tara is hanging out at Hilltop, and Enid is their doctor. Hey, Jesus. Apparently, Jesus is the new Leader at Hilltop. Maggie apparently has gone to live with Georgie and is happy according to a letter she has sent Jesus. Daryl is just walking around with a dead snake around his neck. Carol wants Daryl to go to Hilltop to keep an eye on Henry. Daryl refuses telling her that Henry needs to learn to take care of himself like they did.
Michonne's group takes the newcomers back to their rig. Magna finds some of Bernard's things. Yumiko suggests taking some with them. Siddiq finds a recorder. Luke is looking for an instrument they lost. everyone. Yumiko and the others want to agree with Michonne who tells them she will not be traveling all the way. Jesus knocks Aaron off his horse, and the two start mixing it up. Jesus and Aaron want to bring the group together. Michonne doesn't know about Maggie, and she has been reluctant to work on a compromise between the groups. Jesus and Aaron want to go to the Fair to help mend fences. Jesus and Aaron see a flair which leads them to Rosita, who says that she has left Eugene in a barn. So, apparently Aaron was looking for her as well. They decide to take her back and look for Eugene in the morning.
Henry has figured out why Carol was looking for Daryl. He is upset that she feels like he needs a chaperon. As Carol cuts his hair, we find out that Daryl is out in the woods because he had been searching for Rick's body, which he has never found, and it just became easier to stay out in the wilderness. Something is spooking Michonne as she is keeping guard on the group. Luke was bending over something. Michonne tells him to drop it he refuses, and she hits it with her sword. It turns out to be what looks like a violin that she has destroyed. (I'm thinking the Stradivarius from the title). Daryl's dog got caught in one of his and the walkers he had captured almost got him. Henry saves him from another. They manage to save the dog and each other, as Carol looks on with her bow at the ready.
Jesus has been training Aaron. They have Rosita at Hilltop. Tara is fussing at Jesus for being away to long and not living up to what was promised to Maggie. She's leaving to look for Eugene in the morning. Daryl has two X's on his back like the one that Michonne has. One in the exact spot that Michonne has hers. Henry wants him to come back with them not just for him but for Carol. Luke reveals that the violin was a Stradivarius. He has been traveling through the apocalypse to help connect.
Siddiq is trying to convince Michonne to go with them. She is concerned about seeing Maggie and how Maggie will react. Siddiq tells her that Maggie and Hershel are gone. but before he can explain how he knows walkers have surrounded them. DJ is finally allowed to give them their weapons. Kelly and Connie are proficient with the sling shot. They see their friend Bernard as a Walker, and Magna is devastated as he walks towards them. Michonne puts him down.
Daryl has decided to join Carol and Henry. Siddiq apologizes for not telling her about Maggie. A couple of Sentries (one of them was C. Thomas Howell) tells Michonne about Rosita. Connie sees something in the woods; someone is watching them. Daryl, Henry, and Carol have made it to Hilltop; Aaron, Jesus, and Daryl go out to find Eugene. Next week, mid-season Finale!!! I'm a little uneasy going into next week. See y'all, next week!!!
