Boy, not much happened this week on The Walking Dead until that cliffhanger ending, did it?
Continuing to explore the same few days that has made up the entirety of season six so far, this week we were filled in on how Daryl, Abraham, and Sasha were doing as they lured that walker herd 20 miles out from Alexandria. Immediately, the trio were ambushed by what we're assuming are those brutal Wolves, forcing them to split up to take cover. And from there, well, it was pretty boring.
After luring his would-be assailants into a group of walkers, Daryl (Norman Reedus) finds himself caught up with a trio who are on the run after having stolen something of value from the Wolves. Turns out one of the girls needs insulin and, after realizing he'd taken off with it, Daryl decides to help them evade capture from the sadistic hunters. Of course, once insulin girl is quickly killed off by some burned-up walkers, the other two turn on our hero, pulling the gun he returned to them on him and taking his bow and his bike. Again The Walking Dead begs us to wonder: Is this world worth saving?
While Daryl was dealing with that, Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) holed up in an office to wait for Daryl to track them using the trail they leave for him. We learned that Abe's apparently got a thing for Sasha and she might reciprocate which left us scratching our heads. Aren't Abe and Rosita (Christian Serratos) still a thing? And boy, Sasha got over the loss of Bob (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) quickly, huh?
Anyway, Abe also conveniently finds a truck full of rockets, cigars, and a walker wearing a rocket launcher, just in time for Daryl to find them while behind the wheel of a fuel truck. You know, all the tools necessary to go out and rescue a certain someone.
And it looks like that's just what will happen, as in the final moments, Daryl finally reaches someone on the walkie talkie. Someone who calls for help. Someone whose name probably rhymes with Blenn. Just how Glenn (Steven Yeun) survived over a day in the dire circumstances we last saw him in, we're not so sure. But we can't wait to find out.
What did you think of this week's episode? Was it just a whole lot of table setting to get to that final moment? Sound off in the comments below!
