Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCarl does not appear in this episode.
- GoofsWhen Aaron is looking for his boyfriend Eric it sounds as if he shouts "Aaron" instead of "Eric", however the two names sound very similar, especially when the last consonant is drowned by shouting/crying. It is unlikely the actor would shout his own character's name in such an emotional and important scene.

To Kill or Not to Kill
One of the things that I think this show has struggled to over the last season and a half is decide how to deal with sending characters off when the time is right. When the info for the episode states "unintended consequences", I naturally thought that there would be at least 1 major death. Eric was of some importance, considering he's Aaron's boyfriend, but I guess I just didn't feel a serious emotional connection to him. So in a way, I guess the episode was a letdown in terms of consequences (with deaths). Other than that, this was another fast paced episode that moved the Savior conflict along a little bit more. But why are we waiting 3 episodes to see what happened to Father Gabriel?
So I guess bringing Morales back didn't turn out to be anything more than a brief but important cameo. He did seem to get inside Rick's head by claiming that he's a changed and violent man since they left Atlanta. I have a feeling, especially seeing the reactions to Daryl's kills tonight, the idea of killing vs letting the Saviors live is going to be the main theme of the season. To me, it sure seems like we are gearing up for a Rick and Daryl fight. And perhaps that's not a physical fight but more of a yelling match featuring the two, but it's still something that could be a pivotal point in the season.
Speaking of pivotal, it looks like Carol, Ezekiel, and crew got ambushed at the end of tonight's episode. Now see that could lead to some actual consequences next week. But it is about time the Saviors take back one of these wins that the Alexandrians keeps on getting. And to be honest, the whole idea of trying to keep all of these Saviors alive is not exactly the smartest idea. So I definitely don't blame Morgan and Co. for not agreeing with the rest of the crew. And actually Morgan did a little more than not agree, he full blown fought Jesus. Who knows if that was even Morgan under there, considering he seemed to be under a sort of trance.
Overall, it wasn't the emotional breakthrough episode that I thought persay, but there were some nice moments, especially with Rick's continuing internal conflict about the group's ultimate plan going forward. Maybe next week will be that big week.
7.2/10
