An injured Carol awakens with Morgan at her side. He tells her what has happened and where they are. They have been brought to a community called The Kingdom, a place led by "King" Ezekiel. Carol is stunned by the way things are run. She concludes that it's a ridiculous fantasy world, and she needs to leave.
She plays along, in order to keep people from becoming suspicious while she plans to escape with supplies. Before she can leave, Ezekiel catches her, and they both drop their facades. Ezekiel encourages her to embrace life, and suggests a plan that would allow her to simultaneously "go and not go." She takes residence in a cottage outside the Kingdom.
Meanwhile, Morgan begins to bond with Benjamin, a young resident who is training to be a soldier. He also discovers that The Kingdom is being extorted by the Saviors, although it is being kept secret from most of the community.
"The Well" is a stark contrast to the season premiere, offering a glimpse of hope and humanity in the midst of the post-apocalyptic world. The episode introduces the Kingdom, a new community led by the enigmatic King Ezekiel. The Kingdom is a vibrant and thriving community, complete with its own unique culture and way of life. Ezekiel's larger-than-life personality and his pet tiger, Shiva, add a sense of whimsy and intrigue to the episode.
One of the most memorable scenes in the episode is when Carol is introduced to Ezekiel and is initially skeptical of his grandiose persona. However, as she spends more time in the Kingdom, she begins to see the value in Ezekiel's leadership style and the community he has built. The episode also explores themes of identity and self-discovery, as Carol grapples with her own inner demons and tries to find a sense of purpose in this new world.
The episode is also notable for its exploration of the relationship between Ezekiel and his people, particularly his relationship with Benjamin, a young resident of the Kingdom who looks up to Ezekiel as a father figure. Their interactions add depth to Ezekiel's character and highlight the bond he shares with his community.
