Welcome back, “Dead” heads. Where were we?
Oh yes, cringing at last season’s finale: the climactic town hall/trial
to decide whether Rick would be allowed to remain in Alexandria after
fighting Pete (the doctor/drunk) and waving a gun at everyone.
That meeting devolved into chaos after Pete (hammered, of course)
accidentally shot and killed Reg, the husband of community leader
Deanna. She told Rick to shoot Pete in retaliation, and he pulled the
trigger on the community’s first public execution just as his long-lost
friend and new pacifist Morgan showed up. Quite the bang-up reunion.
So Alexandria was left with the shocked and suspicious original
residents, and the road-hardened, interloping Grimes Gang, glaring at
each other across a deep divide, even as some truly dangerous outsiders
known only as The Wolves were closing in on their sanctuary.
