This episode plays the classic trope of a zombie film and it plays the trope well.
We get decent intense action, we get the character development, we get the plot build-up. Sending least competent fighters of Rick's group as scavengers (except Glenn) isn't the best choice I think, but contrasting them with Alexandrian scavengers make them seem to be more than capable. Even Eugene looks more competent than Aiden! Which is nice: a character development for Eugene.
This episode build-up continues from the last episode: Rick's group "slowly" overtaking the Alexandrians. It shows the contrast between the more experienced group and the naive population. The tense is present too. The stylist's husband does not seem to like it - even the construction leader, Tobin, seems uncomfortable giving his position to Abraham.
The disconcerting "revelation" from Father Gabriel puts the tense even bolder. Seems like the incident with Terminus people traumatized him that much - why Rick didn't even spend the time to explain the context to him?
Last, Carol's ending statement really puts me to ask the question: would Rick's group be the new antagonist in the next season?
