Man this episode had probably the most satisfying moment on the show in a while. The opening scene alone had great cinematography, set pieces, and action. The in this episode while not as good as Stalker's tension it still was intense. Gamma's death was tragic because she died protecting her nephew and never even got to know him. Which they also teased BetaM's identity though they probably won't go into that until later. Earl's death was sad because he tried sacrificing himself to save Judith and the kids. And Alpha's death was probably one of the most satisfying payoffs in the series and the way its built up is brilliant. There are all lot of other smaller moments that make this episode great. Like Daryl and Judith comforting each other, Carol encouraging Eugene to go after Stephanie,(even though it feels like a bit more unless art setup for the finale but whatever I can live with it), and Judith in shock as she realized she's killed her first person. All those moments make it feel special and human.
Overall this episode had great emotion, action, suspense, filmmaking, and one hell of a great death. I also can't believe that Carol and Negan were working together to kill Alpha, that's so dope. Can't wait for Michonne's last outing and how this season will conclude.
Final rating: 9.5/10
