The fan-favorite faction reforms after the devastating mid-season finale
Summary
– Carl Grimes got himself over with a massive 112-ounce chocolate pudding spot
– Rick Grimes sold his injuries from The Governor fight throughout the entire episode
– Michonne made a huge run-in at the end to officially reform the top babyface stable
The fallout from the prison destruction angle continued this week as the creative team finally pulled the trigger on a major reunion. After being written off television and scattered during the mid-season finale, Rick Grimes and his son Carl were forced to survive on their own. The episode focused heavily on building Carl as a legitimate solo competitor while his father sold the absolute beating he took from The Governor.
The younger Grimes cut a serious promo on a walker trapped behind a door before indulging in one of the most memorable spots of the night. In a moment that is sure to become a meme, Carl sat on a roof and devoured 112 ounces of chocolate pudding while watching a walker try to get to him. It was a strange yet effective way to portray the character as a rebellious survivor who can hold his own without his dad’s help.
Meanwhile, Michonne was tracking the pair through the woods in her own segment. After a brief crisis of confidence, where she appeared ready to return to her loner roots, she decided to stick with the babyfaces. The payoff came in the final moments when Rick spotted her through the peephole. Instead of a tense standoff, Rick turned to Carl with a smile and delivered the line of the night: “It’s for you.” The trio is now officially back together, strengthening the main event scene moving forward.
