Says a guy on the other end of a walkie: Orange situation.

Thats apparently a bad thing.

On top of that, Gabe and Doc Carson engage in the old tug-of-war between science and faith.

This is a world in which corpses rise to eat human flesh!

Was there any doubt that the holy roller would eventually crap out?

Daryl leads the A-Town survivors and Dwight, whos now the target of Taras anger.

Quick logic break: Why would zombies lie dormant under the mud until someone showed up to disturb them?

Theyre not the Napping Dead or the Snorkeling Dead or the like Do Not Disturb Dead.

And then why would anyone let Tara, who wants to kill Dwight, go off alone with him?

He picks areallybad time to apologize for putting a crossbow bolt through Denises face.

(Luckily for Dwight, shes a lousy shot.)

So when the Saviors wander dangerously close, Dwight gives himself up and leads them away.

(Note that one of them says he didnt recognize Dwight without his vest.

Um,Dwightsvest, dude?)

It all ends rather weirdly, as Daryl chews out Tara for disobeying his order to leave Dwight alone.

Seconds later, Daryl worries that Pizza Face will sell them out, and itsTarawhos defending him.

Lets all agree that Dwight is the absolute least of their problems.

A much bigger concern?

The world is running out of doctors, and Carson and Gabe are broken down and lost.

Making matters worse, Gabes infection has made him nearly blind.

theres a set of car keys inside.

Maybe Gabe is onto something with all the higher-power chatter.

Maybe hes the chosen one … but then, the Saviors show up.

Doc makes a play for one of their guns and gets himself shot dead.

The half-blind priest is going to play a key role in how the Saviors saga ends.

Pretty sure Jared will eventually set the record straight, because hes a dick.

Siddiq continues to look like someone wholl play a major role this season and beyond.

Hes also probably added Enid to the list of folks hell need to make peace with along the way.

), and wipe his brow on occasion.

Not cool, Eugene!

Now Negans ready to rain down zombie guts on Hilltop.

More importantly, though, these little skirmishes are dull, no matter how ingenious or gory the details.

As Gabe would say, God willing.
