The Hilltop Homies make little progress toward wiping out Negan.
Gregory is still alive, we presume.
She doesnt even flinch when a Savior hocks a loogie on her.
Shes also packing a bag.
(Interesting that her spotless domicile doesnt reflect thisMad Maxaesthetic that Jadis clearly appreciates.)
Lucille was indeed named for his wife, hence his irrational attachment to a piece of wood.
She got me through, just life, he says of his deceased missus.
The bat got me through this.
So I named it after her … its the last little piece of her Ive got left.
Whats worse, we learn why she had a flare and luggage and kept checking her watch.
Rememberthat helipad we saw when Simons crew arrived?
It would have been perfectly suited for the helicopter that showed up.
Where are they from?
How did Jadis know they were coming?
All questions for another day, since by the time Jadis lights another flare, the chopper is gone.
Hes still too consumed by two emotions: grief and bloody, merciless revenge.
Those motivations drive a somewhat stunning turn of events.
So its surprising when Rick invites these Saviors to come back to Hilltop and make a fresh start.
Jared doesnt buy it, but the rest seem sold.
Whats the guy get as thanks?
Top billing on the walker menu no justice there.
And thats when Rick the Prick takes over.
Morgan skewers one, Rick tosses another to the walkers.
At least the guy who really deserves a gory fate gets it.
Jared screams in horror while a walker eats his face.
Let go, let go, let go!
he begs, and when Morgan finally releases him, the dead feast as Morgan watches stone-faced.
Everything winds down with two homecomings.
(Or as Negan describes it, Holy hell!
If shit could shit, it still wouldnt look as shitty as you.)
(Henrys face seems to say, Im really getting some mixed messages about violence, folks.)
Its a safe bet that the message will lead Rick to regret butchering those Saviors.
The question is, how will that affect his plan to kill Negan?
