God, I hope they keep this up. This was the best episode in an excellent run of episodes and it’s proof that The Walking Dead is one of the most surprising shows out there. Not in terms of story, because it’s always full of surprises but in terms of quality. Back in the dregs of the prison, I never thought the show could get to be great again. Heck, even the mid-season finale was a sharp downturn.
Since Scott M. Gimple arrived as showrunner, the show has seen a massive upswing in quality, with some missteps, and it’s just wonderful to see an episode like this that still leaves you gasping.
Where do I start? The superb cold open of Carol baking cookies, taking out a zombie whilst foraging for acorns, all whilst Weeds or Wildflowers plays in the background. It was exactly the sort of thing that leaves me smiling and as Rick arrives back in Alexandria, telling Carol that they’re gonna have to fight, it’s a superb moment as we understand that Carol just wants to bake cookies, or rather, she doesn’t WANT to kill, she just has to.
Her arc of the episode is small but significant. She leaves the last cookie on the grave of Sam, who’s fear, possibly influenced by Carol, got him killed. That’s just an excellent moment before the credits even rolled. Carol joins the fighting team heading to the saviour compound but when she finds out Maggie insists on coming she chooses to stay outside with her.
