Carol and Daryl both leave Alexandria for different reasons causing separate groups to go after them.
This is a solid episode with some strong character moments, but feels somewhat contrived.
I think enjoyment of this episode depends how much you can tolerate the depiction of characters who supposedly "don't take any chances" taking some pretty awful chances. If you can suspend the disbelief and go with the flow it is fine. If watching Rick (along with various others) leave Judith, Carl, Maggie to chase Carol (who made it very clear why she left) annoys you, it's best avoid this one. Additionally, the usually very likeable Daryl is also frustratingly written.
All that aside there are some great moments. One scene involving Carol and some antagonists is very well done. Plus the banter between Rick and Morgan is all strong.
Some quite dramatic situations shown are left unresolved so it is hard to make any judgement on these.
All performances are excellent as ever, particularly Melissa McBride, Lenny James and Andrew Lincoln.
