Talk about an episode. This was honestly a phenomenal episode. A little calm in the execution, but every second was engaging. Our characters were even more entertaining than ever.
At the Commonwealth, we get Eugene hitting Pamela Milton's son (let's face it, he totally deserved it), but without totally knowing the implications of the incident. Yumiko gets to interact with who could very well may be the real Stephanie. Hornsby is getting a bigger role, and Princess and Ezekiel are shining with their personalities.
Leah gets a challenge, and shows her softer side. So heartbreaking to see a happy family getting teared apart after having survived that long into the apocalypse.
As for Negan and Maggie, what do I need to say here ? We get some fun parts with Negan teaching the whisperer technique to Maggie and her group. Also, we really get to feel the panic of using the masks for the first time. The writers and actors did a real good job at portraying all the right emotions. Also, a little honesty... Looking back, what would Negan have done ? It was fascinating to see them interacting in a calmer setting, and truly have the time to sit down and face each other.
I'm going with a 9.7/10 here. It was as good as a mid-season finale, each piece of the puzzle moving towards a specific direction. Oh ! And Eugene is about to talk about Alexandria's location and all... Woah.
