This episode was much better than the one before. It has great ambiance and with the kid's death, it makes everything darker.
Positive : The ambiance is great. I love when they are in the wagon and they are surronded by the walkers. Gage's death, even if i don't care about the character, makes the episode darker because the thing to see the death coming... Alden is not boring. Daryl's part is cool too and the gun scene is badass. The fight against the walkers and the others. Negan and Maggie are finally in a stable relationship. And the end with old man taking the bullet reminds of Axel's death or denise's death, the way of a surprising death and being afraid of a too long scene because you're scared to lose someone from a bullet... And the reapers entrance makes me want to see the next episode. The commonwealth is still good. Stephanie and Eugene made me smile. Yumiko gets some nice character development, she's the only one with Connie to have some importance from Magna's group since season 9.
Negative : Maggie's backstory was boring to me, it was too long and it would have been better if we had flashback to see the corpses and being really touched by that. The grenade was awful, how the wagon or the glasses do not break with the explosion ? Daryl going out for dog to make a "deus ex machina" is a little too much. Too bad the deaths weren't about people we care for. Even if i love Princess, she makes everything in the Commonwealth less stressful, frightening...
This a 7.5 or 8/10 episode. The part 2 is always better than the part 1 and TWD succeeded.
