As Alexandria recovers from the Wolves’ attack, Maggie and Aaron set out in the search for Glenn. Meanwhile, the intimacy between Rick and Jessie grows, as the herd approaches.

The Walking Dead bounces back from what I thought was a weak episode last week. This episode in many ways is another focus on an individual, revolving around Deanna.

Alexandria is surrounded by Walkers, which puts everyone on edge as they thing the end is here. Being surrounded, they can’t get food. They can’t really get out, and it might be only time before the Walkers get through.

With everyone freaking out, the episode focuses on Deanna who as the leader needs to figure out what to do next. In the span of an episode we see her work through a lot of the issues and what the future might hold. It’s interesting to watch and really subtle to see it all. She goes from a plan, to being rather broken, to taking out her frustration, and then coming to some conclusion. We get to see all the steps in one episode. Deanna, out of all of the new characters, is the most fascinating to watch.

With that being said the episode has lots of other small plot points with Maggie worrying about Glenn, and Coral wanting to find his girlfriend.

The episode is a solid one bouncing back from last week and giving us some solid new Walkers to be creeped out by. Not the best episode, but an important step.
