Another typical transitional chapter, this episode continues and supplements the two key words of the previous episode - the rally within the alliance will start in less than two days, and the Alexandria community will also participate; the Whisperer is indeed not . Good stubble, no matter whether they are "active" or not, they will take action against the alliance side.
The theme of this episode is "Guardian", and the three lines tell the story of guardianship on three different levels. They guard the principle, guard the lover, and guard the ethnic group.
guardian of principles
Michelle was very annoyed that Gabriel and others went out to engage in communication signals behind her back. Because of this incident, Rosita and Eugene were in danger, Jesus died, and Negan escaped... Everyone So willful, how can she do her "security work"?
Gabriel is dissatisfied with Michele's abuse of "one-vote veto" in the name of "security issues" ——
Alexander was jointly discussed by a "committee", but now Michele is constantly dictating power by virtue of the "loopholes" in the system , and Alexander has no democracy at all.
In the end, they are still differences of concept. In fact, most of the members of the committee are now dissatisfied with Michelle's actions. Only Aaron has stood up this time and firmly supported Michelle's conservative strategy (the appearance of the Whisperer and the death of Jesus hit him hard).
The biggest question at the moment is whether Alexander wants to go to the rally. Siddiq is very worried about the kingdom of God, and even Carol complains, indicating that the situation there is really bad. He hopes that Michele will reconsider mutual trade assistance.
But Michelle firmly disagrees, even if she sits by her side, it may lead to the demise of the Kingdom of God.
Between "preserving herself" and "falling allies", she preferred the former.
This discussion also directly affected the subsequent dialogue between Michelle and Negan. Negan asked to see Michele because he wanted to show his current attitude. Through this escape trip, he found that the outside world had changed, and he had changed: you have to learn to trust me, I probably heard you guys talking What, you're about to lose your leadership now, let me help you run Alexandria .
It seems that Negan has really changed, otherwise he would not have made such a "ridiculous" request to Michelle. Today is different from the past, and he really can't be idle.
Of course, Negan dared to say this partly because he thought he "understood" Michelle : this woman used the name of "charter", "democracy" and "security" to engage in substantive dictatorship, and the routine slipped away. Very ah, now she lacks allies, and needs people like me to advise her.
In the face of Negan's "malicious speculation", Michelle could not admit that she was playing a "routine", but her actual actions were not much different from Negan's conclusion.
Just when Michele denied Negan completely, she saw Judith who was eavesdropping outside, and she instantly understood what was going on, and turned to her daughter to question her. Judith did not hide it, and said bluntly, "I pity Negan, and he is not like other people, he is willing to listen to me."
Seeing that her innocent daughter was deceived by the "big bad wolf", Michelle hurriedly emphasized Negan's past actions and wanted to stop the communication between the two, but her daughter insisted that Negan was no longer a bad person - Judith did not Having personally experienced the war between the Alliance and the Salvation Army, no matter what others say, from her experience and perspective, Negan is just a considerate uncle who spends all day in jail.
"Nature is hard to change" VS "reformed", the dispute between mother and daughter, Judith won.
Because Judith said "you've changed", Michelle was speechless to refute...
After a difficult inner struggle, Michelle figured it out. She went to Aaron specifically, thanked him for his support, and made it clear that she would no longer oppose Alexander's participation in the market, "people have the right to make their own choices, whether it is right or wrong", all she can do It is to try to avoid risks and ensure safety.
Michelle owes much to Negan and Judith for this change. She doesn't want to be the substantive dictator in Negan's eyes, she wants to be a better mother and leader in Judith's eyes.
Of course, this is more to uphold the spirit of the "Charter" and to ensure the survival of the Kingdom of God, an ally.
lover's guardian
Rosita's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't hide it, not to mention she didn't want to hide Gabriel at all.
Gabriel was having a headache over the existence of the committee. Rosita did not intend to put pressure on him. She said it very clearly: We are just getting started, so it’s okay to get together and get away. I’m already pregnant. It 's up to you to decide.
After Rosita's gentle farewell, Gabriel was left alone, and when he was upset, Eugene came to him with a full set of "advice".
The score sheet and analysis sheet that Eugene brought can be said to be the product of "rationality" under the extreme "sensibility" . After all, he hopes that Gabriel can be with Rosita.
Among us, Rosita only has real feelings for you. Don't be influenced by children. After this village, there will be no shop.
Everyone is a friend who has experienced life and death, and Eugene also believes in Gabriel's character - go! Bald Father! These are my specially prepared stretch pants to chase the woman we all love back!
Gabriel finally made up his mind. Through the encounter without dialogue, it seems that the problems of Gabriel, Siddiq and Rosita can be completely resolved (try not to judge this relationship by our moral standards, just open the mouth and not hide it , is acceptable).
The most considerate, most gratifying and most bitter person is Eugene. His unrequited unrequited love has already surpassed the realm of "licking a dog and having nothing", and it is not too much to call him Rosita's "patron saint".
However, the more complete the relationship between them is now, the more dangerous the situation will be in the future. Personally, I feel that Rosita may not live long...
Guardian of the Clan
After the Whisperer left the mountaintop, Alpha wanted to get information from Lydia. After all, her daughter had been a prisoner for a few days, and she realized that the mountaintop wanted to keep Lydia, so there must be a lot of information to dig.
Lydia didn't reveal too much information about the Whisperer, but she also didn't reveal any more information on the side of the mountaintop village , only about farmland, supplies, weapons, etc. that could be found at a glance.
The most important thing is that Lydia claimed that "there is no transaction" and concealed the existence of the Kingdom of God - it seems that she neither wants to betray the Whisperer, nor does she want Henry and the others to suffer , she already has "extroverted girls" signs.
Alpha is obviously dissatisfied with Lydia's answer. I can find this information without you telling me. It's all excuses and nonsense... Lydia took advantage of the situation and asked: Did you come to redeem me just for information?
Alpha didn't answer this question, but instead scolded Lydia - it can be seen that Alpha still has motherhood in her heart, but she can't show it.
Henry goes farther and farther on the road of "freeing himself", and this episode is even cute and stupid. He was captured as soon as he approached the Whisperer team, and he directly explained his purpose...
It's no wonder that Lydia is going to beat and scold Henry again... However, it is impossible to say that Lydia is not tempted if she dares to risk her life to seduce her.
Suddenly there was an outsider in the team, who was "tricked" by Lydia. Now Alpha was impressed by her daughter. Although she didn't fully believe Lydia's words, it did not prevent her from appreciating her daughter's ability to "lie".
Alpha likes "animals that don't lie", and also likes Lydia's "unscrupulous". Judging from her words and deeds of giving her daughter apples, she is still a mother who protects her calf in essence.
After returning to the temporary camp, Henry finally understood how many Whisperers there were— judging from the nature of their "all people are soldiers", in a purely head-to-head confrontation, Guangshan Fortress or the Kingdom of God would definitely not be enough for others to eat.
It is worth mentioning that the Whisperer team has a very good set of knives, whether it is decomposing prey or cutting corpses, they are quite proficient (a long-term survival skill), just from the perspective of "field warfare", the entire alliance adds up to estimate Neither are their opponents.
Just when Alpha came to test Henry, a man suddenly stood up to challenge Alpha, on the grounds that "you broke the rules of the Whisperer for favoritism".
Alpha's response is basically in line with my conjecture in the last episode. Through the exchange of prisoners, they know who, where, and what the people in the mountain village are, and they understand that they can defeat the other party, and the transaction is worthwhile .
Alpha's keen observation must be admired here : she sensed something was wrong early on, and guessed that the man was just a "substitute" who was pushed out by a woman to test her. She directly corrected the main lord and snuffed out the signs of this small group of rebellion. .
After the woman was stabbed in person, she had to bite the bullet and say that Alpha was unfair, failed everyone, and tried to incite other people's dissatisfaction with Alpha.
It's a pity that Alpha's authority is still absolutely supreme and unchallenged, and no one is willing/daring to agree with women.
Trying to kill with a knife was unsuccessful, but he couldn’t beat him again. The woman instantly became a helpless lamb to be slaughtered. Alpha didn’t say much nonsense. He directly took off the woman’s head with a throat cut, stabbed the stupid man to death, and swore his absoluteness. leadership .
During this process, Lydia was very relaxed (obviously believed in her mother's ability)... She used the string she had taken from the yo-yo earlier to hang up the "gold coins" from Henry, which was regarded as a no-brainer. The rut little wild ass of life .
After Henry saw it, he also forgot his precarious situation, and smirked secretly. There was no way, it was too exciting...
On the other side, Alpha sighed to his confidant Beta that "no one has challenged me for a long time", just because she didn't take revenge in time and rescued Lydia despite her principles.
It can be seen that the Peak Village (Alliance) side is indeed an opponent that the Whisperer has never seen before, so that Alpha, who has always been resolute and directly crushed, has begun to play tricks.
Alpha is the leader of the Whisperers, and shoulders the burden of the entire group. She has her own understanding of this responsibility - she talked about the past lesson of Lydia, and she did not hesitate to let her 3-year-old daughter die. Dangerous, but also let the children remember the lesson, it is really a ruthless person.
In order for the lessons and costs to be remembered, unscrupulous means must be made, even at great sacrifices.
In addition to recognizing the leader, Beta also talked about his discovery: the two little cubs seemed to be looking at each other, and this kind of thing can't be ignored. So, Alpha decided to see if Lydia had any intentions for Henry, and how much... Kill him and try?
This temptation, Lydia immediately revealed the truth. Judging from her gritted teeth answering "knowing what happens to her father", Lydia's complex feelings of "love and hate" towards her mother may still be more hated.
While Henry and the Whisperer were entangled, Darryl, the guardian of the alliance, also chased after Connie. In terms of "concealment" and "vigilance", an old hunter and a deaf-mute are definitely better than That hairy boy Henry is much stronger.
I have to say that Daryl and Connie cooperated quite well (this is the rhythm of forming a new CP?), and it didn't take long to touch the Whisperer's camp.
At the critical moment, the two returned the same way , drove the corpse into the camp (the sentinel should have been killed), and took advantage of the chaos to rescue the two young men who were in heat.
Darryl may not necessarily want to take Lydia, after all, this is equivalent to officially declaring war on the Whisperer... But considering Henry's determination and his own wishes, coupled with this rescue operation, the Whisperer has suffered a lot. People, Liangzi has already forged, so he can't care so much.
If Alpha originally planned to attack the mountain village (alliance) just with a hunting mentality, then the factors of revenge and prestige must be added now, and the next war will probably be even more tragic.
