Rosita/Sasha and Maggie/Daryl coming clear over what happened to Abraham and Glenn was perfect. However, the episode felt slow. Watching Daryl break down and apologize to Maggie was beautifully heartbreaking. I've been looking to seeing this scene since the premiere. I was afraid that the conversation would be be off-screen. I swear, when Daryl cries, I cry.

Nobody did anything out of character, which is a nice change. Character development is always fascinating and today we got it. Sasha getting caught and Rosita realizing that Gabriel was right. Karma's a bitch!

And that at the end was definitely Dwight. Daryl Dixon is not The Flash. I stopped, rewinded and slomotioned it and I swear it looked like Norman Reedus. Maybe he used fusion to confuse Rosita and now he's Dwiryl.

And that scene of Rosita and Sasha listening to Eugene talking on the walkie was amazing. I liked it a lot. "Eugene Porter, Chief Engineer, also known as Negan, who I am". He was like "did I also forget to mention that I'm Negan?"

And once again, Simon is my favourite Savior. His expressions are worth a million of words. I guess lobster is so much to ask but not gelato. He's definitely "a man of shifting specifics of tastes in transition". Man, and he revealed the Saviors location as if it were nothing. When they were taking Dr Carson, for a moment there I thought Simon was going to dump Dr Carson's burnt body on the floor to have "an even trade". Any oldhow, who needs a doctor when you have a bunch of aspirin?

I really wanted Rosita to learn her lesson in this suicide mission. I didn't care about her, especially since she was always bitching around, but that heart-to-heart scene really made me care about her. I really want to see more of her character. And at the end it was Abraham who guided Sasha and not Rosita. She sacrificed herself for Abraham.

@vero-winchester Norman Reedus's work on this show is so underrated. Everyone loves Daryl the crossbow-wielding badass, but he can also be this walking, open wound, telling you so much about how he feels in just a few words and a meaningful look. His scene with Maggie was the highlight of the episode.

@andrewbloom I couldn't agree more. He's such a tremendous actor. He barely speaks and with just one look he tells you everything. That scene with Maggie, or when he was simply sitting on the bench, no need to talk, you know how he's feeling and it's totally heartbreaking. Glad to see there's someone that shares my view.

@vero-winchester Yeah, I was also expecting that the crate would have the burnt doctor :P
