Rick and Michonne are soulmates. No doubt about it. But they're also two headstrong people who care more about the other than they do themselves. So what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Well, they go over the side of a moving helicopter, apparently.

Rick and Michonne prove that together, they can do anything. @cake-by-thepound @iminyjo and I talk about it.

The only time I feel safe is when I’m with you 🥺 *crying in the fetal position* this is fine, I’m fine

This line and when Rick says, “What if I lose you and can’t figure out how to die again” absolutely fucked me up. 🥺

The shot of them licking each other tongues 😯I'm dead

Like, this is crazy.

The way they used the weather, the time of the day, that AI voice and the trembling of the building to inform the story is just... wow. I love that kind of storytelling.

The symbolism was superb. 🤌🏾 It’s the way everything was elevated as soon as we got an award-winning writer in the room.

Well based on the preview for next week, we know what FF’s they’ve been reading 😂!

In my delulu mind this is why you had to take down Tennessee because they needed the rights to the material. And again in my delulu mind I am gonna congratulate you on the apocalyptic version of your story coming to life 🙌🏾

Definitely delulu, but I love it. And I’m gonna hang out in delulu land with you and say thank you. 😂

He’s stubborn? Just like his daddy. Like his mama 🥹

But also, this made me crack up because of that moment between andy and danai on the press tour, when andy was like we (as in him, andy and her, danai) are both stubborn and danai just looked at him and he was like ok, *I* am sturbborn

🤭 I thought about this too, and that always made me laugh anyway, because Danai refusing to concede that she’s stubborn made her seem, well… stubborn. 😂

They took Carl - That one just… annihilated me. And the way Andy delivered the line… just… I’m destroyed.

That whole scene should’ve come with a warning. I was prepared for Andy and Danai to deliver, but not like that.

Rick not reacting at all when Michonne mentioned Daryl 🤭😂

Listen. I got a HEARTY chuckle out of that. And I know some of the girls are mad, but realistically, even if he wanted to ask about the person who betrayed him Daryl, that was not the moment to do it. Like I need them to be for real.

One little touch that was great was we could see rick had quite a few more scars! That man has been in hell these last few years

Couldnt see a scar where the wound from his last twd ep would be tho… gotta rewatch it… for scientific purpose of course 🔍

I noticed that too. In episode 1, I was surprised not to see more noticeable damage from the explosion, so I was glad to see that detail this episode.

But yeah, let us know where your research leads you! 👀

Rick not knowing what a roomba is whereas michonne just got one before all of this started -truly just the country boy and the city girl lol 🥰

They are literally everything we thought they were. 🤭

[cake-by-thepound]

When they leave Rick is the one holding the book for Judith !!! He said let me make sure we don’t forget this for my baby girl 🥹🥹🥹

🗣️ FATHERS ARE IN THE HOME

[cake-by-thepound]

It was heartbreaking to see but beautifully done that even when they were in the middle of it, R was still not 100% there there. Still the fear in his eyes… I mean, dude was having a panic attack…

…but also… now that he is back-back I’m gonna need another one of those scenes lol 🤭😂

Given what Danai has said about not doing a sex scene just to do it, I kinda don’t expect much more than what we’ve gotten. And the emotional catharsis of that scene was totally the point, and I get/love that. But YES, I need another one too. It doesn’t have to be full-on coitus, but we were robbed of foreplay and fun, and I want it. Bad.

[cake-by-thepound]

Michonne is crying. Rick is crying. I’m crying. WTF

DANAI!!!

Gotta send Danai my therapy bill for this month, because the end of that episode really broke something in me. 😭

[cake-by-thepound]

Ash are you also in recovery after that episode because…💀🤍🔥

I think maybe I am. I injured my foot over the weekend, and I’m definitely blaming it on Richonne. 😂

One thing i never quite got since ep1 is where the consignees sleep and where the military does. Cause we see r in the same apartment the whole time which i find a bit bizarre… giving how separate they keep everything its weird to me that military and consignee are staying in essentially the same building? But also if so… it shouldnt be that hard to sneak m in, no? 👀

All very good questions, my friend. With everything going on now, we probably won’t get those answers, but yeah, I wondered the same.
