I love slow episodes like this. And I love the division between viewers, how some people don't like it because they just want to see action, zombies, guns and blades... But they won't ever appreciate these beautiful, haunting episodes that only few of us can value and treasure.
This was some sort of culmination for Morgan as well as Carol. Through Benjamin's death and the loss of "another son", Morgan was forced to kill and realise that, no matter how precious every life can be, killing in this world is something you unfortunately have to do and live with. There's no other way, if you want to survive in this world. In the other hand, Carol sort of returned the favor to Morgan by going to the Kingdom and decide to return to her badass-killing machine mode by realising she can't just forget the poeple she love and leave them behind, fighting for them is what matters over everything... And if she has to kill, she will. The ending scene beautifully depicts it all when Carol, after a long time, willingly approaches a boy to help him grow a plant with Ezekiel and, at the same time, Morgan sharpens his stick and prepares for the murderous battle to come.
It took a long time for them to join the battle, but the set up was nice and well paid-off in the end. Really excited to see what's coming.
