"Good group has good thing, seemingly other "good" group has good thing but is not actually so "good." Good group, IE Rick Grimes, will take steps to help but things escalate and here comes another war."
3 Stars
Pros: At least Eugene has a girl who cares about him now and Carl's "help" at trying to get Sophia some action is pretty hilarious.
Cons: I don't know what crawled up Maggie's ass but she's being a real beast all of a sudden/Same old - Good place, Bad place, War, Zombies/Rick Grimes is God, the best leader ever of humanity, ever.
Full Review:
After taking Pamela on a tour of Alexandria, Oceanside, the Sanctuary and the Hilltop and introducing her to the "leaders" he goes back to the Commonwealth to meet her people and see how they live. He's very taken by what he sees. But Dwight understands that the system is broken. That the people who aren't in charge are oppressed. And this comes to light in a violent way when a man is beaten to death by the guards, for having an argument with one of them.
At the Hilltop, Sophia catches Carl coming out of Lydia's room and basically says that at this rate she'll never lose her virginity. The next day, a new boy to the Hilltop, Joshua, asks if he can sit beside Sophia at lunch. She sees Carl giving her the thumbs up and rolls her eyes. He's at least trying to help.
Everyone can see that the Commonwealth isn't perfect and of course Rick takes it upon himself to try and think of a way to make it better. Dwight escalates things with the Guards to prove to Rick that this place is unstable and that the people who aren't in charge, are ready to be swayed to live under a "different" regime, namely, Rick Grimes being in charge.
Rick, Michonne and Dwight meet to talk this through. Michonne was entrusted with the defense of the guards that beat the man to death. And though she's disgusted by what happened, she feels that she needs to plead her case. Though it's obvious that the "commoners" are choosing sides, saying as an aside to Elodie, Michonne's daughter, that they're worried since her Mom defended the Guards, that Elodie has already chosen a "side."
While Rick, Michonne and Dwight talk this over, Michonne explains that she knew they would listen to reason and that's why she invited Pamela to join them. But Pamela barges in with an armed escort and declares that Dwight is far too unstable to live in the Commonwealth. Dwight pulls a gun, saying that this place is the same as the Sanctuary was. Pamela is high off her own power and will never come down from her power trip unless she is killed. But Rick puts a bullet in Dwight's head before he can kill Pamela.
He blames Michonne for what happens and though she tries to explain why she did what she did, to avoid another War, Rick says that another one has already started and he's simply chosen his side.
