Meanwhile, Michonne is trying to convince Rick that this place is an ideal setup for a bit of a rest. The dead creature’s blood pools on the pretty farmhouse painting from earlier in the episode. Tyreese uses his already wounded and bitten arm as a shield, getting a second bite, but buying himself enough time to clobber the Walker. Tyreese sees the two dead girls, Mika and Lizzie, telling him it’s better now, just as The Governor morphs into another attacking Walker with a shredded face who’s a hair’s breadth away from killing the big man. In a surprise cameo, The Governor shows up to remind Tyreese of his assertion that he’d do whatever he had to do to earn his keep. Martin - previously beaten by Tyreese and stabbed to death by Sasha - appears to know way too much about the situation, but in case you were doubting Tyreese’s visions, Dead Bob shows up to counteract the other man’s logic. Tyreese hallucinates the dead almost-baby-killer Martin while he’s bleeding out on the floor. Noah puts the Walker down for good, but it might be too late for Tyreese.
While Noah says goodbye, Tyreese finds more horror waiting in the house: he discover’s Noah’s twin brother just as Noah’s brother discovers him, and takes a big old bite out of his arm. A gruesome sight awaits him: a woman’s body lies rotting in the living room with her head caved in Noah covers her up. Tyreese catches up with him in time to be the first one to explore Noah’s old house. The young man seems to understand, but soon takes off running for his old home again. He convinces Noah that this isn’t an end, just an unhappy occurrence in a harsh new world. Tyreese has a similar confession of grief, telling Noah about the time he nearly committed suicide by Walker, but managed to survive long enough to save Baby Judith. Michonne provides the voice of reason, saying they’ve been out in the wild too long and need to stop. He says this journey had nothing to do with Beth’s death, but rather the fact that her last wish was to get Noah home this little side trip was Rick’s way of honoring Beth. Glenn’s also in the mood to confess his previous sins, those he committed when he was away from the rest of the group.
Rick confesses to Glenn that he recognized that Dawn didn’t intend to kill Beth, but that Rick wanted to kill her anyway. The hardened warriors take down the few Walkers without much effort before sweeping the neighborhood for supplies Tyreese stays with Noah. A bit of graffiti reads, “Wolves Not Far.” Noah, having lost his former home, now joins up with Rick’s crew in earnest, after having himself a good old-fashioned mental breakdown. The place is not only deserted, it’s littered with dead bodies (some walking, some not) and many of the houses are burned out. Glenn climbs the secure gate to get a look inside the place, and he doesn’t have the most positive reaction. They approach the fortification of Shirewilt, but apart from some roadkill and a busted grandfather clock in the road (time's up?), no lookouts or snipers appear to be waiting for them. The group parks their new vehicle among a wreck of broken-down cars, disguising it a Walker is trapped in one of the cars. Rick and Michonne are with them, and Rick wants to stop short of their destination and approach on foot. Tyreese is reminiscing about his dad’s instruction to him and Sasha about being good people in a bad world, and “paying the high cost of living” by paying attention to the horrible events happening halfway around the world or right next door. are out on the road in a new convoy, all paired up in new and interesting ways, like Tyreese and Noah. Like I said, an interesting storytelling choice. We soon learn that these shots aren't reliving the past, but rather foretelling the future.
#THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 9 EPISODE 5 REVIEW SERIES#
Rick thinks that sounds like a swell idea, and so does the rest of the gang.Īn interesting choice of camera work and effects to open up the mid-season finale, showing a series of picturesque settings and comforting locales that transition from the pre-Walker world to the current hellscape, an aesthetic that quickly goes from bucolic to bloody.
He lets Rick know that he and Beth planned to head to Richmond, Virginia. Accompanying the preacher’s words at her (Editor's note: presumed) funeral are snapshots of the team’s escape from Slabtown, and of glimpses at Noah’s former life. One big step in being able to do that includes the (apparent) burial of Beth Greene, and the grieving that goes along with it.
When last we left AMC’s The Walking Dead, some people died, some people cried, and the rest carried on with their lives.
