In Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead, all roads tracks led to the mysterious Commonwealth Outpost 22 that gave the episode its title. But the to-be-expected bumpiness of the trail was nothing in comparison with the altogether surprising shock that awaited on the finish of the street. And that was… ? Obviously one thing we’ll solely reveal on the finish of this recap, as should you don’t already know. Now then…
As the hour started, Maggie, Gabriel and Rosita, who by no means met a repair they couldn’t get out of, escaped from the switch bus that was taking them to… properly, who is aware of? But most likely to Kamchatka the identical railway work camp to which Negan, Ezekiel and Kelly had been sentenced. Or perhaps not; the Commonwealth appeared to produce other worksites, too, which allowed its troopers to separate Negan from Annie. (So… no Dead City spinoff for her? She is conspicuously lacking from the primary photographs.)
At the identical time, Daryl and Carol stalked the prepare, solely to search out that Connie was being placed on it as a — “Oh, s—t,” exclaimed a trooper — designation 2. Only later would they be taught that that meant that she was being taken far-off, by no means to be seen once more. Because it’s by no means to Disney World and again.
As will occur within the post-apocalyptic wilds, Maggie, Carol, Daryl, Gabriel and Rosita all discovered each other like previous friends bumping into one another at their favourite brunch spot. Sure, alongside the best way, there have been travails aplenty, from Rosita’s dislocated arm to a chase scene straight out of Ride With Norman Reedus to Maggie’s emotional battle with probably the most persistent zombie child since Night of the Comet. But they nonetheless managed to take management of the prepare and save Connie.
Not that that solved all of their issues. For one factor, they nonetheless needed to rescue Judith, Hershel & Co. For one other, the prepare’s driver — d’oh! — killed himself for worry of what Pamela would do to his household if he helped them. (Takes dedication to place a railroad spike via your neck, too.)
Back at railway penance camp, Negan urged Ezekiel to place his previous villainy behind him for the sake of the better good. Grudgingly, the previous king agreed to strive. But he didn’t know unite their fellow exiles and not using a spark of hope. Negan would offer that, he mentioned, making it sound like he was planning a suicide mission.
While they and the remainder of the prisoners had been loaded again onto a bus certain for Outpost 22 on the finish of an extended workday, Rosita pretended to be a trooper and radioed for assist. Luckily, her message was acquired by an particularly chatty operator (Yvette Nicole Brown?), who gave her extra instructions than anybody may bear in mind and defined that Outpost 22 was once — await it — Alexandria!
As the episode got here to its conclusion, Daryl, Maggie & Co. had been extra fired up than ever to stay the collection’ touchdown. “We are gonna get our kids, take back our home and make it right,” Glenn’s widow declared. “And Pamela is never gonna see it coming.” Won’t she, although? What with all of them having gone MIA and their one objective being to unseat the governor? Hit the feedback along with your opinions of “Outpost 22.”
