Rick then imagined himself going through the "DON'T OPEN, DEAD INSIDE" doors from the pilot and walking into an infinite field of dead bodies, including the bodies of people Rick had known, both living and dead. Meanwhile, Rick's vision quest continued with a visit from Hershel ( Scott Wilson), who told him that his daughter Maggie is strong and Rick doesn't have to worry about her. Lauren Cohan Gets Real About Why She's Leaving The Walking Dead If Maggie ever returns from her sojourn in Toledo, where she's probably gone to learn more from Georgie ( Jayne Atkinson), she'll have a new story rather than have to rehash the revenge one. "That settles it." After two and a half seasons of mourning Glenn, it was a satisfactory merciful end to the story. "I came to kill Negan, and you're already worse than dead," she said. He broke down, sobbing pathetically, begging her to put him out of his misery. He wanted to die because he can't live like this, trapped in a cell all alone. But Maggie realized that he was begging her to kill him. Cohan's performance was convincing, and Michonne let Maggie in.Īt first, Negan taunted Maggie about how much he enjoyed killing Glenn in an attempt to goad her into killing him with the fireplace poker she brought with her. She asked Michonne to give her a way, any way, to move on, and Michonne couldn't come up with any suggestions. Michonne ( Danai Gurira) initially wasn't going to let Maggie see him, but "The Widow" convinced her to do so when Maggie pointed out that if Negan had done this to Rick, he would be dead, and that she just can't live like this anymore. She had vowed to kill him to get justice for Glenn ( Steven Yeun), her husband who Negan brutally murdered. But Maggie got closure for her arc with Negan ( Jeffrey Dean Morgan) when she finally went to see him in his jail cell at Alexandria. Cohan also left the show this episode, though with less fanfare because she might come back in Season 10 depending on what her schedule allows. Here, the episode took a break from Rick's farewell to resolve Maggie's ( Lauren Cohan) story. The Walking Dead chief content officer Scott Gimple said that the expanded universe could include stories revisiting departed characters, so it might be cool if they could figure out a way to do that with Shane.Īfter getting some closure in his dream, Rick came to as the cabin was being overcome with walkers but he managed to make it out, narrowly escaping death once more and heading toward the bridge to protect it from the herd, because if he loses the bridge, the communities will be cut off from each other and his and Carl's ( Chandler Riggs) dream of uniting the groups will die. Bernthal and Lincoln have such great chemistry. The show would not have succeeded in the early days if it weren't for him and the tension between Rick and Shane. Plus, it was great to get to see Jon Bernthal on The Walking Dead again. That's what making amends likes look on The Walking Dead, and it was a nice way to heal Rick's emotional wound that he's carried since Season 2. "You need to forget that sh-," Shane said. Rick also took the opportunity to apologize for what he did to Shane - not that Shane seemed to care much. And Shane said he needed Rick to be that person now, because that's the only way he'll survive this injury. Shane said he takes credit for pushing Rick to be the violent "asshole" he needed to be to lead and survive, because Rick really became that person when he killed Shane. "One could argue it's my family you're looking for, right?" the Shane vision answered, before asking if his daughter Judith has his eyes. Rick told him he's looking for his family. He met Shane ( Jon Bernthal), his old partner, sitting in their police cruiser at the scene of where Rick got shot before the world fell apart. There, he had a vision of himself riding into Atlanta on horseback, just like he did in the pilot. Should You Keep Watching The Walking Dead Without Rick Grimes?Īfterwards, Rick got on his horse, rode to an abandoned cabin and passed out. It wouldn't be Rick's last episode if he didn't do some gruesome heroic act. So he took off his belt, looped it around a piece of rebar above him for leverage and pulled himself off the spike, screaming and bleeding. He came to and found himself stuck to a pile of rubble as walkers closed in. "Wake up, it's time to go," Old Rick told Young Rick, but it wasn't Young Rick who needed to go, it was Old Rick. The episode, titled "What Comes After," started with rebar-impaled Rick having a vision of himself as he was when The Walking Dead began, waking up in a hospital bed all alone.
