Under Michonnes leadership, Alexandria has been a real drag lately.
Theres that constitution she wrote, then pretty much ignored as she turned her democracy into a dictatorship.
(Spoiler alert: They did not get drunk on Spring Break and get branded together.)
The opening flashback establishes this as Michonne and Daryls story.
Flash ahead a bit to a pregnant Michonne, whos still searching when she happens upon Daryl.
He cant let Rick go, either walked to the ocean and back with no sign of his buddy.
You okay being alone?
Im not, Michonne says, rubbing her stomach.
Its a heartbreaking exchange.
Daryl, ever the loner, has lost his best friend and swears hell never stop looking for him.
The question is, who broke them?
(The episodes most shocking moment: When Jocelyn calls Michonne Meesh.)
But as Daryl observes, Judith aint a normal kid.
How perfect is this kid?
Also of note before Daryls crew departs is Michonnes chat with Lydia.
Speaking of Negan, hes the first person Michonne visits when Judith turns up missing.
Hes still a smartass, but all these years in the clink have given him a certain Zen quality.
Maybe he really is dad material.
Learn sign language and get working on that, dude.)
Both of Judiths escapes end with serious consequences.
Theyve got a catchy motto, too: Mark our kill.
That aint survival its sadism.
Even after Linus slices her abdomen, she flies into rage mode by screaming, not slicing.
the camera cleverly cuts to present-day Michonne chopping up zombies.
(The only survivor is Winnie, who runs off into the unknown.
Wonder if a now-teenage Winnie is one of the Whisperers?)
Finding Judith for a second time leads Michonne to some serious soul searching.
Loving someone, Judith says, means doing whatever it takes to keep them safe.
We must tell Alpha, drones a dirty woman with bad teeth.
Enough buildup its time to get this party started and watch the Whisperers crash it.
