Dwight runs out to meet them, pretending that he’s still on their side and guiding them away from the survivors. Naturally, the moment Tara and Dwight are alone, she tries to off him, but he manages to scamper deeper into the woods, where he and Tara spot a group of Saviors looking for the Alexandrians. In the episode’s most affecting moment, he admits that he knows he’s probably a dead man either way, he just wants to defeat Negan before he gets his ticket punched. She’s finally allowed some time to talk to Dwight directly here, as he apologizes for what he did to Denise. It’s still a real bummer to see Tara, who was such a source of levity in previous seasons, turned into a scowling seeker of vengeance, but at least she’s got decent motivation. But I laughed hard.īack in the traditional storyline, Daryl is leading the surviving Alexandrians to Hilltop, but nobody trusts Dwight, especially Tara, who understandably holds a grudge against him for killing her girlfriend. Of course, Gabriel winds up half-blind and sorting shell casings in Eugene’s bullet factory, so I’m probably the only one laughing. But there was so much build-up devoted to convincing Carson that there was indeed a plan for him, and the moment he started believing, it got him killed. Now the obvious concern is that this wasn’t meant to be funny at all, but tragic – Gabriel’s misplaced faith leads to the death of the man he thought it was his destiny to lead to Hilltop. Maybe the endless misery slog of this show has broken my brain, but I couldn’t imagine a better set-up and punchline than the one presented here. Then Gabriel started crying about his dead compatriot, and that somehow made it funnier. Carson, at long last, agrees that God has a path for them, says he can see it, and merrily goes for one of the Savior’s guns. It’s cool, though, because Gabriel still thinks it’s all part of God’s plan. Finally, they’re all set to head out when the Saviors capture them again. The Doc gets caught in a bear trap but Gabriel manages a miraculous headshot on the zombie that attacks him.

Gabriel’s gone partially blind due to his illness but while he’s fumbling around he breaks open a piggy bank containing car keys and a map.

The man who lived there committed suicide but he’s got plenty of antibiotics to break Gabriel’s fever. Their car breaks down but they find a house to take shelter in. The wacky part is that no matter what crazy situation they get into, they find an even crazier way out of it. The story, in a nutshell, is that Gabriel has faith that God has a plan for them and He’s watching their backs, but the Doc is extremely skeptical. There’s also a lengthy plot involving Gabriel and Doc Carson escaping from the Saviors that has one of the wildest endings the show has mustered so far. Some walking from here to there, a few obligatory zombies kills, you know the drill.Īnd while there’s certainly some of that in “Dead or Alive Or,” the good news is that there’s some necessary character progress for Dwight, whose changing of allegiances hasn’t been fully addressed. We’re a few episodes removed from the premiere and the finale is some weeks away, so now is generally the time when “Walking Dead” starts spinning its wheels to fill time.
