Review of Hearts Still Beating

The psychopath Negan is still in Rick's house shaving and eating with Carl, Olivia and Judith while Spencer gets closer to the Saviors. Carol is visited by Morgan and Richard that bring supplies to her. Richard asks Carol and Morgan to help him to convince Ezequiel to surprise and fight the Saviors before it is too late and The Kingdom is destroyed, but Carol refuses. Meanwhile Rick and Aaron scavenge supplies in a barge in a lake full of walkers. When they reach the barge, they find an ironic note congratulating them for winning. They return to land and while loading the truck, someone watches them. Daryl succeeds from escaping from his cell and tries to flee from the Savior's compound. Michonne is trying to find a way to defeat Negan and the Saviors. Enid learns that Sasha has a secret agenda and does not want Maggie to know. In Alexandria, the weak Spencer meets Negan and asks him to kill Rick and make him the leader his mother was. Rosita takes a decision that will affect the lives of Olivia and Eugene. What will happen to the lead characters? Will they succeed in their intent?

"Hearts Still Beating" is the best episode so far in this Seventh Season, with engaging segments. Richard is foreseeing the fate of The Kingdom; however, Carol and Morgan do not know the last events in Alexandria and refuse to cooperate. Daryl trying to escape from the Saviors is tense. The segments with Michonne and Maggie, Sasha and Enid are in principle not important. The journey of Rick and Aaron to scavenge for Negan and what they find in Alexandria is great, but the reunion of the old Rick and his "family" is the climax of this show. My vote is nine.
