An amazing episode. I was tense the entire time. Really enjoyed that Carol and Maggie got out by themselves. But what's up with Carol though? Did Morgan's bullshit "changed" her? Was she so impressed with that Wolf trying to help? Or she learned the circumstances of that Sam kid dying and blames herself? Or the kindling romance with whatshisface softened her? Because that's certainly not the baby situation. That actually encourages her to kill. Either way I really hope the ending means she again accepts and embraces the necessity of bloodying your hands and not like gonna freak out and turn on her own group or off herself or something. We need Carol to be the opposite of Morgan, not another Morgan, come on. At first I was sure her panic attacks and tears and fear was all a ruse, but it seems like it was mostly serious. Anyone can have an inner conflict and some kind of moral crisis, but hopefully it won't screw up a cool character.

I think here they want to protret Carol that she doesn't want to be the same like the rest. When that woman said we are all negan it looked like carol sees that eventually they all just kill anyone else they see around. Wich she doesn't really want. She wants to be save and keep her people save but she doesn't want to kill people just because they 'have' to. At least thats my point of view.

@WalterBishopj It's a good point. I don't actually think that her portrayal is out of character and doesn't make sense. It does and it's fairly backed up by the core of her personality and all kinds of experiences she had, and the more time passes the better it sits with me. It's just a part of me feels robbed of how Carol's been established before, and it seems to me that story wise it's much more compelling to have her as an antipode to Morgan and his beliefs other than yet another person who has a lot of blood on their hands and now unwilling to kill due to desperately hanging to their humanity. Every survival show needs to explore grey areas and represent different faucets of human response to things like death and murder, and after all the character development that Carol's character had, I rightfully thought she found her niche. But I'm still interested to see where she goes from here, and hopefully the writers aren't trying to get rid of her.
