Q&A Episode 8.6 "The King, The Widow, and Rick"
Can you describe what happens at the junkyard?
When Rick arrives at the junkyard, Jadis is naked (except for an apron) and working on a sculpture (Hey, who doesn't love naked arts and crafts?). There's multiple nudists and we'll see some garbage ass.
Jadis gets dressed and her people surround Rick in a circle while he explains that he's there to offer them the same deal as before. Photog Rick whips out his Poloroids as proof that Negan is surrounded and the outposts have been attacked. He tells Jadis that they can join him or they will be destroyed. In her usual Yoda-mode-speak Jadis responds, "No."
What happens with the prisoners at Hilltop? Is there a conflict?
Maggie finally decides to let the Saviors live and places them in a holding area made of barbwire. But our girl's got future plans for the Saviors. She reveals to Jesus that she's only doing this so she can potentially use them as bargaining chips. Any Saviors left over after this must die. And just like that, yet another attempt by Jesus to throw out a spark of humanity is shut down again.
What are Carol and Ezekiel doing over at the Kingdom?
Ezekiel is supposed to meet Rick at a rendezvous point, but Ezekiel has barricaded himself in the theater and won't come out. (Maybe he's contemplating building a CGI Shiva Shrine. Too soon?) Carol tries to convince him to step up and be the people's King. She makes a good argument, but he still says he can't.
What is Rosita and Michonne's plan?
To go and see the Sanctuary being surrounded by walkers and overrun with their own eyes.
What are Daryl and Tara doing?
Goin' rogue! They are thirsty for revenge and hatch their own mission to take out Negan and the Sanctuary. Daryl basically recruits Tara for the plan Rick wouldn't let him go through with. (Chokeholds might be illegal, but Daryl seems willing to risk it.)
Do we see Michonne/Rosita and Daryl/Tara follow through with their plans?
No, not just yet. While Michonne and Rosita are making their way to the Sanctuary, they stumble on one of the Sanctuary's supply caches. Two Saviors are there, and they are trying to come up with a plan to make a path into the Sanctuary so that everyone can get out. Well, Rosita and Michonne crash that party, and Rosita kills one of the Saviors with an RPG that she finds in a crate. (Go big or go home). The 2nd Savior is killed by Tara and Daryl who crash a big dump truck into the Savior's car. Daryl realizes there are a bunch of weapons and possibly explosives at this Savior supply house, and that's when they start planning.
What is Carl doing in this episode?
Carl tracks down Siddiq, asks him the 3 questions, and offers to take him to Alexandria. Siddiq eventually agrees to go with him.
Does anyone get hurt or die?
Except for a couple of Saviors, no.
How does the episode end?
The episode ends at the junkyard with Rick locked naked inside a trailer car. We have no idea what Jadis is up to, but she walks by the car and marks it with the letter "A." Déjà vu, anyone?
*** BONUS ***
- Maggie decides to throw Gregory into the pen they built for the Savior prisoners because she can't trust him. He cries like a baby. Hilarious!
