Then there's Carol and Darryl's scene. Carol has gone far beyond the scope of a conflicted character in the world of the Walking Dead. The once meek abused housewife has over the course of the 6 season's turned into the group's most resourceful killing machine, now battling her own conscience. She's made up her mind the minute she walks away from Darryl on what she has to do.
The next 30 minutes of the show revolves around Eugene trying to show Abraham he is now a smart killer with a big machete and not the afraid of his own shadow old Eugene. Abraham hearing enough decides to leave Eugene to defend himself. Not good if you really know Eugene.
Then we have what would turn out to be the nexus of the episode. Darryl and Rosita deciding to let Denise come with them in search of medicine. Here's my problem with that. The writers expected to define Merritt Weaver's character, with a tiny bit of her backstory in 12 minutes. An actress of her caliber could have and should have played an integral part as the series moved forward. So what do they do? They kill her off with an arrow through the head and it wasn't just any arrow. It came from Darryl's crossbow that was stolen from him by Dwight who he should of killed but didn't.
Enter the Saviors, led by Dwight, who surround Darryl and Rosita as they hold a gun to Eugene's head. Small talk ensues as Dwight re-introduces himself and tells them what they want is for them to take them back to Alexandria so they can take what they want and who they want. Abraham is hiding behind some barrels while this is going on and Eugene decides the time is right for a little distraction. He tells Dwight where Abraham is and when Dwight turns to look Eugene bite's Dwight's privates and won't let go allowing Abraham, Darryl and Rosita to turn the tables and send the Saviors running for their lives. In the process of all this Eugene was shot but it only grazed him.
Back at Alexandria, Abraham has a talk with Sasha and tells her how he feels and she invites him in so now they're an item we all saw coming. Darryl and Carol are burying Denise. That's when we start to hear Carol's voice reading a letter to our group at Alexandria. No matter what they do people are going to want what they have. When they kill them another group will come. She has decided to leave and tells them to please not look for her. End of episode.
So what do we take from this episode. Once again it's all hinging on Carol. She knows they'll look for her but at this point she is so guilt ridden from all she's done her best course of action is to get away from the group and hopefully find her peace. I'm sorry to say this but for everyone out there waiting on the Finale and what happens with Negan. I now believe the one to die in the Finale will be Carol who will sacrifice herself to save one or more. We might not like it but if that really dose happen all we need to do is "look at the flowers."
