Turns out that the “swarm” is actually a large group of zombies surrounding the house where one of Sebastian’s friends (Cooper) used to live. If only all things in life were so simple. *Side Note: So Maggie’s plan was for Aaron and Gabriel to act as bait, hope that Carlson wouldn’t shoot them immediately, and let Elijah be a total badass. The stunned commander calls on the radio for help only to hear the rest of his troops being slaughtered by Maggie and the others. While that awesomness is happening, Aaron uses the distraction to knock Carlson’s gun out of his hand. Just as Carlson is about to kill them, Elijah sneaks up and begins hacking everyone up. Sure enough, they find Gabriel and Aaron and hold the pair at gunpoint. Carlson assumes (correctly) that’s its Gabriel and commands everyone to follow him to the roof. Just as he’s about to discover them, they hear commotion overhead. Once they’re gone, Maggie radios the others to say she has a plan.Įlsewhere, Carlson and his goon squad begin searching the apartment that contains the secret room where Negan and everyone else is hiding. As they march by, Carlson informs them that the building is to be burned to the ground if they don’t find the weapons within the next hour. Meanwhile, Maggie and Annie duck into another apartment just as Carlson and a quartet of troops murder one of the residents. Turns out little Hershel stowed away in his mom’s truck, which was found by one of the Commonwealth soldiers. After Annie assures him that she’ll be fine, he looks outside and sees something that makes him utter “Oh s***.” As the group gets going, Negan starts to tell his wife that he’s worried about her being near Maggie. Their discussion is interrupted when Annie radios in to say they have a clear window to move everyone. The average Whisperer, on the other hand, was a depraved psychopath.
Aside from outliers like Carlson, Hornsby, and Sebastian, the Commonwealth is filled with mostly good people. *Side Note: Lydia also says that the Commonwealth are like the Whisperers with different masks, but that feels like quite a stretch. The events taking place around them all but confirm that that they want to swallow up other communities. Gabriel tries to claim that the Commonwealth is different, but Lydia shuts that down immediately. Negan counters that he’s the one who showed up to Riverbend with stormtroopers. Annie and Negan insist they didn’t, but he isn’t convinced - mostly on account of their late leader Ian being the type of guy who collected human skulls.Īfter a moment of appropriate shock, Aaron says that it makes sense for Negan to be part of a group whose leader put human skulls on a shelf.
The good vibes quickly dissipate when Aaron accuses Annie and her people of stealing the Commonwealth’s weapons. Once everyone calms down and realizes they’re on the same side, Negan leads them to a secret room, where they’re surprised/relieved to find Gabriel along with many other Riverbend residents. After a brief standoff, Negan shows up and finds himself in the odd position of deescalating a situation.
During their sweep, the group enters an apartment that just happens to be where Annie is hiding. As the group moves through the apartment complex, they can hear Riverbend residents screaming before they’re gunned down by Commonwealth soldiers. Our point of view then switches to Team Hilltop. After signing off, a trooper informs him that two squad members inside the building have been taken out. His team still hasn’t found the missing weapons yet, but the former CIA operative is confident they will. The episode opens with Carlson using a long range radio to tell Hornsby that Riverbend is officially secure.
