00:00:25
What's up Pirates? Welcome back to another episode
00:00:28
of The Phantom hybrid podcast. This is hanako and I'm here with
00:00:31
Casey and we are discussing the fourth episode of the eighth
00:00:35
season of Fear, The Walking Dead is one is titled Kane County.
00:00:40
We went back home to Georgia. And I was not ready.
00:00:46
I know, I know I was saying I was ready for this episode.
00:00:50
I was not ready for the amount of gut-wrenching, heartbreak,
00:00:57
they put us through with this episode.
00:01:00
Yeah, so they had to happen. We had to get back here at some
00:01:03
point. Yeah.
00:01:05
But oh my, okay. So I know we had to get back
00:01:10
here which was good. It was interesting seeing
00:01:13
everything, you know, kind of, you know, it's been, it's been
00:01:18
almost a decade now or a little bit over decade.
00:01:21
I think at this point, just Morgan has been there.
00:01:24
So it was interesting seeing what it looks like now.
00:01:28
But you know, we have been talking throughout the main show
00:01:33
and since we started covering this show, For, you know, last
00:01:38
few episodes we were talking about Morgan and, you know, his
00:01:43
State of Mind, the things that he needs to do in order to move
00:01:46
forward. And one of the things that we
00:01:47
always speculated or at least the, I speculated was that, he
00:01:51
still needed to put Jenny the rest because after, you know,
00:01:54
after what happened with Dwayne girl, when he walked up to the
00:02:00
house, he was like I'm here. I was like wait, something's not
00:02:05
right? Because he said to Rick when
00:02:08
Rick found him, he was like after, you know, after she
00:02:12
attacked Dwayne, he was like, I finally did what I was supposed
00:02:16
to do what I couldn't do. So I was like, why is it?
00:02:19
And I was like, Before he uttered the word Dwayne girl.
00:02:27
When he said Wayne's name, when I tell you I immediately started
00:02:30
bawling and I pause the TV I was like, oh y'all for the fuck me
00:02:34
up this whole episode has been in there as a walker.
00:02:40
This whole time 10 years and you know what?
00:02:46
So we think. So we thinking, okay, so you
00:02:49
would When he walks up to the house
00:03:06
and you know he's kind of he has a lot of trepidation.
00:03:09
He's like going going up the stairs, he's coming back.
00:03:12
He was like I'm here and you can hear walkers in the house and he
00:03:16
was like I'm sorry it took me so long and then he says Dwayne I
00:03:21
was like but it makes so much sense.
00:03:27
Now everything that we have seen Morgan go through It is
00:03:33
everything that he's been through.
00:03:35
Mentally his philosophy, about certain things.
00:03:39
Why he can't do certain things. It's like, it makes so much
00:03:43
sense. Now to me why he is the way he
00:03:47
is, because one of the things that you see, once he kind of
00:03:53
gets scared scared off, you know, because he goes up to the
00:03:56
door, and he starts having flashbacks of Dwayne's voice in
00:04:00
his head and he was like, no, no.
00:04:02
He runs away from the house and he goes, right?
00:04:04
He's Walker's that were around the corner feeding on a skunk
00:04:08
and he starts, you know, hitting them and killing them.
00:04:11
He was like I can kill you, I can kill you.
00:04:14
I don't know why I can't do it. And it's almost like if you
00:04:18
think about the way he Is when he kills Walker's, even before
00:04:22
he got to fear, it's almost like he was killing Walkers with a
00:04:25
certain. I won't say a mission, but it's
00:04:29
like he was trying to prove something like he couldn't kill
00:04:32
live. People are he couldn't kill the
00:04:36
people that, you know, he knew Jenny and now we find out Duane
00:04:40
but it's like Walker's, no problem.
00:04:42
Like he was so big doing them and I feel like it was it was
00:04:48
his way of proving to himself. He could do this.
00:04:51
So it's like, like he said, why can't I do this other thing?
00:04:55
Why can't I put you? You know, why can't I put you
00:04:57
down the way? And I'm like, dude, because
00:04:59
that's your son, regardless of just like Jenni was his wife.
00:05:03
The only why he ended up putting her down, is because she
00:05:07
attacked Dwayne, right? So good.
00:05:12
I was like, okay, y'all gonna rip my heart out from the
00:05:14
beginning of the episode. Okay?
00:05:17
So this is how y'all starting this shit.
00:05:19
It. It's about to be crazy.
00:05:23
I was like okay let me just go on ahead and prepare gone ahead
00:05:27
and prepare. So I have different thoughts
00:05:32
about this episode. Well before we get in to
00:05:34
lighten, dissecting episode, what did you think about the
00:05:37
episode Like all together, all together.
00:05:43
Um there were some good parts and some bad parts and some I'm
00:05:47
so tired of this Parts. Okay, okay, so we go the same
00:05:51
way, okay? Because I have the same feeling
00:05:53
like Lennie, James Heron David, Just Morgan and Grace, you know,
00:06:02
Morgan and Grace is one of my ships in this series, like I
00:06:05
love them. I really want them to have a
00:06:07
happy ending. I don't think they're going to
00:06:09
get it after the events of this episode, but still is kind of
00:06:13
like, for them to have been this close and so far apart these
00:06:22
last seven years, you know, they're still around each other,
00:06:25
but they're obviously not together.
00:06:26
Because, as you know, she mentioned, And to mow in the
00:06:31
last episode. I think it was in this episode.
00:06:33
She was like, yeah you know we couldn't let Padre know how much
00:06:36
we mean to each other or else they will use that against us.
00:06:41
So it's like for him to still have that much love and and to
00:06:45
go through all of this and for her to be there, while he has to
00:06:48
deal with this whole thing with what it's like, I was feeling
00:06:53
some kind of way, I was loving it, but then when you factor in
00:06:58
the stuff with Moe and let me, let me be up front.
00:07:01
When I say this, I'm not talking about the actress, I'm not
00:07:05
talking about how she's acting. You know what I'm saying, I'm
00:07:10
talking strictly about the material, they're giving this
00:07:13
child because my my thing is, first of all, all the stuff
00:07:19
that's happened in this episode Just the things that they have
00:07:25
her doing you know what was the thing that Morgan said to her?
00:07:28
You are you are way smarter than you have every right to be.
00:07:32
Uh-huh. She is because some of the stuff
00:07:36
they have her doing. I feel like it doesn't make
00:07:38
sense for someone who's supposed to be eight years old and who
00:07:43
grew up, right? Elation who grew up on an
00:07:45
island, had never seen the outside world had never been in
00:07:49
these situations but this chili But this chick know enough to
00:07:54
send a coda SOS message with dock of the bay on it.
00:07:58
She knew she knew enough to do switch King County.
00:08:02
He came from because it's not like he had King County,
00:08:06
Georgia. On that wall.
00:08:07
He just had King County. And if you know anything about
00:08:11
geography, especially here in the states, you're going to find
00:08:15
repetition in almost every single state of certain things
00:08:19
certain city names repeat in multiple States.
00:08:22
Certainly Counting. It's repeated in multiple
00:08:24
States. Now, I will say this, the fact
00:08:27
that she was able to figure out which King County, it was the
00:08:31
fact that Grace was able to find him and the fact that Dwight and
00:08:37
Sherry were able to find him. I think that lends itself to our
00:08:43
Theory from last week that they have to be somewhere on the
00:08:47
Georgia coast near Alabama because one of the things Grace
00:08:51
says when she gets out of the The truck and she, you know, she
00:08:54
sees him shoes. Like what are you doing this
00:08:56
far? Inland not what are you doing
00:08:59
this Far East? What are you doing this far away
00:09:03
from home? What are you doing this far
00:09:05
inland they have to be somewhere on the Georgia coast that that
00:09:09
top western Florida coast or somewhere on the Alabama coast.
00:09:15
They have it. Yes, it has to be in that little
00:09:19
area somewhere because again We're still talking about, maybe
00:09:24
a week, a week and a half since the last episode since Finch got
00:09:28
bit and I know like we said, Morgan will walk okay?
00:09:35
More than will walk? Morgan will walk, especially
00:09:38
when he has something he needs to do so but again, he walk with
00:09:44
no pole, no supplies, no, he didn't have anything.
00:09:48
He has a stick. So we could have been for too
00:09:52
long. It's not like he was a bit.
00:09:54
Maybe I was maybe a day because this is Morgan.
00:09:58
We've seen him do do more with less, this will benefit other
00:10:04
doubt. It's been a day.
00:10:07
Yeah, but I don't need being many more days than that.
00:10:11
Mmm, you didn't prepare for this trip.
00:10:16
Hmm, unless the theory was I'm just go here.
00:10:20
Do this and be back. Which it probably was because if
00:10:24
you think about it, the conversation that led him here
00:10:28
was Madison in the back of the truck saying, why is it that you
00:10:33
think you can't be what you need to be from 0?
00:10:35
What is holding you back? You know, is it something you
00:10:37
can fix? And he was night, like not
00:10:39
really not the worst of it. She said, but you can't fix
00:10:43
something he was like. Yeah.
00:10:44
So apparently obviously he was talking about that think that he
00:10:49
had killed Jenny's Walker but he left Duane And now he has to fix
00:10:54
that. So I must understand, right?
00:10:59
I'm gonna come back to the mall thing because I want to talk
00:11:02
about that. So, So once Grace Finds him, you
00:11:08
know, she's like how did, how did you know I was here?
00:11:11
What are you doing here? She was like, you sent me SOS?
00:11:13
And he was like, no I didn't. Nobody knew I was coming.
00:11:16
She was like, are you sure? Then of course they had they
00:11:19
figure out somebody's in the back of the truck and it turns
00:11:21
out to be mo and we find out that Moe has orchestrated this
00:11:24
whole thing. I know one person, I know I know
00:11:28
if I sent you a message she she would think you would think it
00:11:32
was from him or He would think it was from you or whatever, it
00:11:35
was that she's trying to, she's basically trying to get her
00:11:37
parents together because she again now that she knows she has
00:11:42
parents, she wants out of Padre, and of course, she's dealt with
00:11:47
the whole Daniel and Madison situation.
00:11:50
So she she has a little glimmer of hope which I can understand
00:11:54
as a kid. If I find out that my parents
00:11:56
are alive and that they really did want me and blah, blah blah,
00:12:00
be willing to try and do some things but again.
00:12:04
They are. They are assigning attributes to
00:12:07
an eight-year-old child who has been sheltered, who has never
00:12:10
been around people that she cared about.
00:12:13
And I just feel like, Padre is not teaching, these kids, how to
00:12:17
read a map, not like that. They are not teaching, these
00:12:21
kids how to send SOS. Maybe they are in some
00:12:24
instances, but Dock of the Bay I was like, okay.
00:12:27
First of all, how does she even know that and then when Sherry
00:12:30
and Dwight come in later on and Morgan is like how did y'all
00:12:34
find me and share is like really Morgan coordinates and Dock of
00:12:38
the Bay you really think we wouldn't be able to figure that
00:12:40
out. I'm like you and Grace need a
00:12:41
new song. Because a secret code should not
00:12:46
be able to be that easily a secretive.
00:12:48
Everybody! It a secret. but going back to
00:12:55
what I was saying about Morgan and knowing that Dwayne is still
00:13:00
walking around as a walker and how that explains a lot of his
00:13:04
behavior. I feel like, when he tells the
00:13:09
story to Grace and Moe, And he's telling them, he was like, you
00:13:15
know, it always came down to food, same thing, he told to
00:13:17
Rick when Rick first found him after, you know, few years is,
00:13:24
it always came down to food, I went down to the basement, he
00:13:28
was upstairs and when I came back, she was, she was, you
00:13:31
know, in front of him and he couldn't do it.
00:13:33
And I called at least what he told Rick, I called his name and
00:13:37
as soon as I called his name, she was on and I was finally
00:13:40
able to do what I was supposed to do. now, in this version, he
00:13:44
says, all of this but he also says there, you know, he was
00:13:48
like there was so much blood and teeth and I just ran I ran away
00:13:54
from here and I left my boy to become one of them.
00:13:59
Now, at first, I was shocked. I was sitting here watching this
00:14:02
with my mouth open because I was like, oh, like you're thinking
00:14:07
how dare you. How dare you do that to your
00:14:09
child? You let your child do that.
00:14:12
But again, I've never had to be in that position.
00:14:15
I don't know how I would react and he even says it's a blur, he
00:14:19
doesn't remember much. It comes back to him and bits
00:14:22
and pieces. But the other thing That I was
00:14:26
thinking was I didn't think that no matter what state of mind he
00:14:33
was in. I feel like Morgan would not
00:14:37
have done that. He would not have a plane.
00:14:41
Yeah, he would not have left, Dwayne like that in there.
00:14:45
Something about that didn't sit right with me.
00:14:47
And then, of course, when we see the reveal that the end that
00:14:49
Dwayne was actually at the house that he and morning and stayed
00:14:52
at and Morgan was like, did I bring him back here?
00:14:58
I have some other thoughts about that, but it was just like
00:15:01
Again, I feel like a lot of that speaks to Morgan State of Mind,
00:15:06
everything that we've seen him go through ever.
00:15:08
Since he rejoined the group, because can you imagine the
00:15:12
amount of guilt that is sitting in your head and in your heart
00:15:16
knowing that you left your child to turn that.
00:15:21
You didn't put that you didn't like it's bad enough.
00:15:25
You didn't end it for him, right?
00:15:27
It's bad enough. You left your wife to walk
00:15:30
around like that. I mean I'm If I remember
00:15:32
correctly, you were a little bit surprised about the fact that
00:15:35
she turned because this was right at the beginning.
00:15:39
You didn't know what to do back then.
00:15:41
And then, of course, this thing is walking around with your
00:15:44
wife's face. I know it would be hard to sit
00:15:48
there and shoot it, even though technically speaking, she was
00:15:51
already dead. I was gonna say that man.
00:15:53
Isn't that her no more, but it still looks like her. but to
00:15:59
know that, Not only could you not do that for your wife but
00:16:06
you couldn't do it for your child.
00:16:08
There has to be such self-hate and Morgan and I understand it
00:16:13
now and it's a point character. A whole lot better now and
00:16:17
disappointment. Yeah.
00:16:18
Like, but but my thought, when I saw him at the end, tied up in
00:16:24
the in the Attic Even though this is just my thought because
00:16:29
even though he was big and he couldn't put him down, he still
00:16:33
wanted to keep him safe. You want to make sure nobody
00:16:37
else got to him and make sure nobody else heard him and I
00:16:41
think that too but I think I have the episode playing in the
00:16:45
background. I'm waiting for it to get to the
00:16:47
end because I haven't I've re-watched this episode like
00:16:52
halfway through but I haven't gotten back to the end yet.
00:16:56
Because I was wondering. Did Morgan was Morgan even the
00:17:03
one that took him back to the seller.
00:17:05
Because if you think about it, Morgan says he ran off.
00:17:09
He was like I don't remember anything else.
00:17:10
It was a blur. I ran and left him.
00:17:14
And when we see, I'm kind of starting to think that because I
00:17:20
don't I don't see anybody else doing that.
00:17:22
No, no, see this is the thing. I wasn't thinking anybody else.
00:17:27
I was thinking that Dwayne didn't die immediately that he
00:17:32
probably left the house looking for his dad and once he realized
00:17:36
what was going to happen to him, maybe he was the one that taught
00:17:38
himself up. That's what I thought at first.
00:17:40
When I first washed it off, no, I don't think that because Keep
00:17:44
in mind playing was Mo's age. Now, do I was a little bit older
00:17:49
than that, was he? He will even steal to have the
00:17:53
wherewithal. The tie yourself up but then it
00:17:57
has to be more than because all the writing is on the wall.
00:18:01
When you go up there. Same That was the other thing
00:18:05
that I was sitting here wondering because I was like did
00:18:08
Morgan right there or did Duane right there and was that
00:18:11
something that he was mimicking from his father?
00:18:13
Or was it something that Dwayne may?
00:18:15
I mean, Morgan ended up going back because I didn't I didn't
00:18:19
see everything. That was on the wall but if you
00:18:23
think about it from a different perspective which it probably
00:18:25
isn't. But I thought about this when I
00:18:27
first saw it, if you think about it, that whole you were supposed
00:18:32
to do it. That could have easily been
00:18:34
doing telling his father. You were supposed to take care
00:18:37
of this. You were supposed to do this for
00:18:38
me. You were supposed to protect me.
00:18:42
I was like, yeah, I'll see that. I don't now, but I thought about
00:18:47
when I watched it, I do see it as Morgen Guten Morgen doing it
00:18:53
and and parts of him blocking that out that I see.
00:18:57
Yeah, because, you know, it's a traumatic experience.
00:19:00
So you want to block out like, oh my God, I don't want to have
00:19:04
to think about it. I don't want to have to none of
00:19:06
that. Yeah, you know what I mean?
00:19:08
That's what I see. I do see him Ty.
00:19:11
Tying them up so he's safe. So this means I do see him
00:19:15
writing, what he wrote, I do see him digging blocking that out
00:19:20
because I can't believe that I let this happen.
00:19:24
Had I done what I was supposed to do in the beginning, none of
00:19:27
this wouldn't have happened but because I feel as the dad to
00:19:32
take care of this issue and now cause my son his life.
00:19:35
So let me protect the best way I can.
00:19:38
Yeah, they once did he cause you remember how he was what?
00:19:42
He didn't even know who Rick was back in.
00:19:45
He done what he did. He was out of it.
00:19:47
He was, he was he ill? He didn't know, he didn't even
00:19:49
know who Rick was and, you know, it took him Amendment.
00:19:53
It was like, you supposed to have a goddamn work, you know,
00:19:57
so I can see where if you go back to the state of mind, when
00:20:02
they found him in the clear episode, he wasn't it took him a
00:20:07
minute. To get back to.
00:20:09
But even after he knew who Rick was and he knew that he's like I
00:20:13
just got to clear. He wasn't even still wear the
00:20:17
Morgan. He is now he was still somewhat
00:20:20
in that - they although rip Bey of, you know, chipped into it a
00:20:23
little bit but he still was in that mindset of it.
00:20:27
All I got ya and I agree with all that but what, when I first
00:20:31
saw this episode that I was thinking the other because I was
00:20:34
like, if you really so, Obviously, the fear people, the
00:20:41
writers feel like Morgan ain't been through enough trauma.
00:20:45
So my thinking was when I saw Dwayne and when I saw all this
00:20:49
other stuff, I was like, wouldn't it be so much worse?
00:20:52
If Dwayne didn't die immediately and he had the strength to pull,
00:20:57
himself back, go back to the house looking for his daddy and
00:21:00
realize his daddy left him, that would be so much more tragic for
00:21:05
Morgan to realize that and that's What I thought when I
00:21:08
first watched this episode, I was like did Duane do that
00:21:13
himself? Like because because if you
00:21:16
think about it okay so yes we're talking about Dwayne was young
00:21:20
and blah blah blah but okay he was older than most supposed to
00:21:23
be in this episode of Mo is can apparently figure a whole bunch
00:21:26
of shit out. So if you if you look at it in
00:21:31
that sense between the written between the weeks, when Rick
00:21:35
left and went Dwayne died, Morgan could have taught Dwayne,
00:21:39
a whole bunch of stuff. Okay, this is what we do if this
00:21:43
happened. Like, you know, he could have
00:21:44
been like because Morgan could have easily died and left Dwayne
00:21:47
behind he could have been like. Okay so if I get bit if this
00:21:52
happens you gotta tie me up here you got to keep you got to make
00:21:55
sure I stay here so I don't hurt you this that he could have done
00:21:59
all of those things and that's what I was thinking.
00:22:01
When I first saw this episode like maybe he taught Dwayne
00:22:04
those kinds of things. And again Wayne went back to
00:22:07
Your house and look for. I'm glad you don't think that it
00:22:11
was that because I was like, when I fought it I was like,
00:22:15
that would be so much more depressing if that's what the
00:22:19
case was right? But I don't foresee all that.
00:22:24
You know is it just a little much?
00:22:27
It's just my imagination is. Yes because this is much more
00:22:32
easier for him to just tie him up and leave him.
00:22:37
Hmm. Yeah, much more plausible.
00:22:40
Isabel to, that's true. But yeah, so anyway like we said
00:22:47
Morgan has gone back to King County Grace and mo have
00:22:51
followed him. So have the white and Sherry and
00:22:54
Dwight and Sherry are trying to bring him back to Padre.
00:22:57
Because of course, Padre has Finch Finch has been bitten.
00:23:02
They say that he's responding to the treatment I guess.
00:23:05
But he still, you know, he's still there with Padre and
00:23:09
they're holding it over sharing. Dwight's head.
00:23:12
And now they've got to try to bring Morgan and Morgan is like
00:23:17
look. I just can't put my boy to rest.
00:23:21
And, of course, they're not believe in him.
00:23:22
Because why would they? After after said, after 10 years
00:23:27
seven years, whatever the case may be.
00:23:29
Just now now you could have done this so long ago, but they don't
00:23:35
understand his motivation. Like he can't move on and be the
00:23:39
dad. He needs to be from 0 until he
00:23:40
takes care of what he needs to do for doing.
00:23:43
You know what I'm saying? But I will say this I love
00:23:49
sharing Dwight. Y'all got on my goddamn nerves.
00:23:53
Is this episode? I mean, I understand your son is
00:23:58
being held hostage but y'all have no Morgan a very, very long
00:24:04
time. One yall already know, don't
00:24:08
fuck with Morgan when he gets to his, when he gets into a certain
00:24:11
mindset or at least if Sherry doesn't really know, Dwight
00:24:16
knows. Don't fuck with Morgan when he
00:24:20
get into a certain mindset. To I'm I'm just super don't
00:24:27
threaten his family and that's what I'm super over.
00:24:33
I'm super over the We only doing this to save our son.
00:24:40
Okay, I'm not super over. I did it and I get it but ain't
00:24:47
no and ain't nobody else going through the right now.
00:24:50
It's just right. Like this to Dwight and share it
00:24:55
did have babysitter's with them who had guns.
00:24:59
So I that I can understand but I mean at least to the point where
00:25:04
you're like um when he's like I just need to put my boy down.
00:25:09
That's all. Just let me do that.
00:25:12
Let Grace and mold go. Nope.
00:25:16
Raise him over there. Let Grace and MoGo.
00:25:22
Because I sent them and after, yeah. she she like Mongo in the
00:25:29
last episode was she left for with Madison and Daniel's Group
00:25:35
You can just let her go. Anyway, I bet they are.
00:25:43
I understand, I understand it's like we did this already.
00:25:51
Let's do a long time for the road.
00:25:57
I will say this to. Okay.
00:25:58
So When they when they finally get away from Sheree and Dwight,
00:26:05
they go to the old house that Morgan State with with Dwayne
00:26:10
they're going to the house it obviously looks like somebody
00:26:12
used to use it and Morgan is telling them.
00:26:15
Hey do this. Do this Mo go upstairs?
00:26:17
There's a there should be a gun still upstairs if it is there's
00:26:20
ammo in the you know AB under the bed blah blah blah, Grace
00:26:24
coming up to him. I'm not going anywhere until you
00:26:26
tell me how you know where everything is in this house.
00:26:30
You know, that's why he from process of elimination, Maybe.
00:26:38
I don't know. That was just there were certain
00:26:40
things that the writers have done with this show and with
00:26:44
this episode, that just kind of hurts me.
00:26:49
So, anyway, let's go back to top.
00:26:51
Let's talk about mold a little bit.
00:26:55
I'm not going to have my real gripes about mold and the things
00:26:59
that she does and can do it whatever until we talk about the
00:27:01
next episode. But for right now let's focus on
00:27:04
this one. Okay, Again, you have an
00:27:09
eight-year-old kid. Who's been raised on an island,
00:27:12
all her life. Devoid of most human contact
00:27:17
devoid of most adult contact devoid of any loving contact,
00:27:23
which I understand could be her motivation for wanting to do
00:27:28
this because she's like, okay, I want to see what it's like,
00:27:30
having parents. The little joke.
00:27:32
She said, when you know, when they realized what she had done,
00:27:35
she was like, is this what this feels like, what getting in
00:27:39
trouble with your parents? Like how does she even know that
00:27:43
because nobody in, Hi, Dre would have told her that, you know
00:27:47
what I'm saying? It's just like, certainly like
00:27:49
you see no TV show to the, you know, you know, call back to
00:27:55
right. And honestly I'm sure I see no
00:27:58
TVs on Project. No TVs.
00:28:01
I don't see Padre allowing for recreational fiction reading
00:28:05
because what are what are most fiction for recreational fishery
00:28:08
High. Because what I most fiction
00:28:11
books about family relationships love Of all the things that
00:28:16
Padre basically is trying to teach these kids, you know, not
00:28:20
to want not to desire, not to have in their lives.
00:28:24
So it's just certain things about What the things that she
00:28:31
knows. They just don't make sense.
00:28:36
You know what I'm saying? I can call back to with my
00:28:39
Hughes was eight. Nine ish.
00:28:45
I wouldn't trust them to load rifle.
00:28:47
Go get my good. Well okay, so there are several
00:28:52
Fortune, beat these walkers in here like I mean that portion
00:28:55
you learn but so you can come on now.
00:29:01
See I would belittle enfermo because of where she was raised.
00:29:06
I would believe that part more than I believed her having this
00:29:10
nuanced conversation with her parents about out things that
00:29:14
she doesn't really understand that just doesn't make sense to
00:29:17
me, you know? But or more scold Docking Bay.
00:29:25
I'm trying to make us, wait. I think so.
00:29:32
Yes that one. Yeah, you know, the balls and
00:29:37
everything. I think that was yeah that was
00:29:40
kind of like their song which okay, I understand she might,
00:29:45
she might have figured that out. She might have heard it on the
00:29:49
recorder, whatever the case may be or but I can't, I don't know
00:29:56
again, it's just, I feel like they're giving her more smart.
00:30:02
Or eight-year-old then she should have given the
00:30:05
circumstances that she grew up in for someone like Judas.
00:30:10
It would make sense because Judith was raised around people
00:30:14
who loved her not just oh we're going to train because yes
00:30:17
Michelle train her daughter to wield a sword and to kill
00:30:21
walkers but that's not all she did.
00:30:24
Judith was raised in love, she was raised.
00:30:27
Knowing she had a brother that loved her.
00:30:30
She had a dad that loved her. She had TT Rosita over his, she
00:30:33
had Aunt. Carol, she had the king.
00:30:35
She had all these other people around her.
00:30:38
Yep. And she was still doing things
00:30:41
like, you know, homework reading through textbooks, Negan was,
00:30:45
you know, in his own way, teaching her about the world,
00:30:48
that was so it makes more sense for a character Judith age.
00:30:53
And then again, when we meet Judith as a big kid, she
00:30:57
supposed to be 10 already. This kid is only supposed to be
00:31:01
eight. She didn't have any of that.
00:31:04
Not with that. Does shrike look like the type
00:31:07
of person who's going to tuck a kid into bed.
00:31:09
No, no, no. They're raising these kids to,
00:31:13
to learn to live life without all of those Creature Comforts.
00:31:18
So, it just it bothers me because it doesn't make sense.
00:31:23
It just really, really, doesn't it does land for some nice
00:31:28
dialogue between her and Morgan and Grace and we get to see a
00:31:32
lot more of Grace and Morgan. You know.
00:31:36
Interactions and conversation, which we should have been
00:31:41
getting this. We should have been getting
00:31:44
this, but anyway. Let's let's move on a little
00:31:47
bit. So when Morgan finally goes
00:31:50
upstairs to the room where, you know, the gun was Rick's gun,
00:31:55
the gun, it rick gave him. Grace follows him MO is there
00:32:02
because Dwight and Sherry, they, they started, you know, they
00:32:08
started sending flares up so that the Walkers will come to
00:32:12
the house and and force them out.
00:32:14
So, when they come into this bedroom, of course, there's the
00:32:17
writing on the walls. Same kind of writing that was in
00:32:19
The Boathouse. Same kind of, right?
00:32:21
And we've seen Morgan do and I'm looking in the background, you
00:32:24
know what you did or clear? Oh, you know what you were
00:32:28
supposed to do. And Morgan is confused because
00:32:32
Grace and them is like did you do this?
00:32:35
And he was like, I don't remember, I don't know.
00:32:37
I don't remember. Ever coming back here.
00:32:38
Dwayne die. Like, he completely blocked that
00:32:43
out. Yeah.
00:32:45
It's clear. You did clear.
00:32:49
And the writing's on the wall, like me, literally the writing's
00:32:51
on the wall, same writing on the, but it's same writing in
00:32:54
your clear apartment. Same writing on a houseboat,
00:33:00
like I said, he probably did. He was a shock did all those
00:33:06
things and got the hell on. So of course he remembers
00:33:10
running. Of course, he remembers, you
00:33:13
know, not being there, he remembered Wayne being bitten
00:33:16
and she had from there. It shot.
00:33:19
Everything that happened. Subsequently after that about
00:33:23
it, because I love my only child who I'm supposed to protect your
00:33:27
bit. Right.
00:33:32
Because I mean that I believe I believe that's the that that
00:33:36
part that's the part. Yeah.
00:33:38
Yes. The part because you come, I
00:33:40
don't see if you say all you see is red.
00:33:43
She was on him before you could do anything.
00:33:46
Hmm. Well, you sound heard, but then
00:33:50
when she did you shot her, got your son to come off.
00:33:54
Because I'm sure as with anybody who get big you guys, if we were
00:33:58
all you did, let me let you know you scooped his ass up and you
00:34:02
ran back home. And then once you saw it, you
00:34:06
know, once you've been here or anywhere that you can't cut off
00:34:10
his face, it was that sent you. If you look at the Walker, okay,
00:34:14
I'll come up. I look at his face is mangled.
00:34:19
His face is mangled though he didn't have there was no cut
00:34:24
this piece off, there was none of that.
00:34:26
It was all on this side he had to he all he could lose his ass
00:34:33
up. I'll I can't kill you right now.
00:34:37
I don't want nobody else to kill you either.
00:34:41
And then it, maybe he thought after 10 years, maybe somebody
00:34:44
would have come around and excuse me, scavenge the house
00:34:48
and you know, possibly done it, right?
00:34:52
And then all you gotta do is like Jenny's body was there.
00:34:54
I got to do is go back and and bury him.
00:34:59
But the other thing that amazed me is that In this area, nobody
00:35:05
came back to do. Nothing else, can a scavenge?
00:35:09
Nothing was only this lie, this hmm, that means get their whole,
00:35:17
but I mean, even even in the first days afterwards, when Rick
00:35:21
first came out, the hospital there was nobody there because I
00:35:25
think and, and I feel like that area probably got evacuated and
00:35:32
people just never went back because before things got really
00:35:37
bad, you know, we're still taking people quite a while to
00:35:41
turn so it's like you would get bit, you would die and they
00:35:44
might like, with Amy Amy it took our yeah, before she turned.
00:35:51
So maybe it was just to the point where, when they
00:35:54
evacuated, People were able to like, okay, let's pack up some
00:35:59
stuff, let's take it. You know, they had a little more
00:36:02
time or they weren't as panicked until they realize how
00:36:06
widespread this was becoming. You haven't already had time to
00:36:10
take the pictures off the wall. Take the pictures off the wall.
00:36:14
Packed the pack V, the photo albums paid, most of the food
00:36:20
packed a lot of clothes, so yeah, they probably had more
00:36:23
time in those days and, you know, maybe people have come
00:36:26
through and scavenge to be like will ain't really shit else here
00:36:29
so we just going to leave it and Morgan would have been the type
00:36:32
of person who probably would have hit that stuff very well.
00:36:35
I mean, he was able to find tomatoes to get the skunk smell
00:36:40
out of the clothes, which is hilarious to me, but you know, I
00:36:47
just, maybe it's just one of those places where it was so far
00:36:50
off the map that people are just like, yes, no sense in us even
00:36:55
going there. So they've been.
00:36:58
But yeah, I mean, it was far inland yes market look, it was
00:37:03
farting. Yeah.
00:37:04
And if you think about it, most of the people, if they had a
00:37:08
sense of mind, like, Rick did there thinking, oh, I'm going to
00:37:12
go to the CDC, the CDC will have an answer for this, you know,
00:37:16
they're going to try to go to. Like, I mean, think about what I
00:37:19
grew tried to do, they try to go to Fort Benning, people would
00:37:23
have probably tried to go to any military base because they think
00:37:26
We'll be safe there. They will probably try to go to
00:37:29
the CDC. Some of them probably would have
00:37:32
figured out that they might have been safer near the water so
00:37:36
some of them may have gone to coastal towns.
00:37:38
So something quote-unquote like gray said that far inland people
00:37:43
probably not going there, right? But anyway, so Morgan starts
00:37:52
telling Grace about that room and and the gun because the
00:37:58
rifle is still in the room. And of course this is where we
00:38:02
get him, mentioning Rick Grimes and everybody, you know,
00:38:05
cheered. But you know, he starts telling
00:38:09
them about Jenni and how, you know, she would come back to the
00:38:11
house and Rick gave him the gun to put her down and he really
00:38:15
wanted to do it because he didn't want Dwayne to Have to
00:38:18
see his mom like that. He just could never do it, you
00:38:21
know, and he was just like, II, don't know.
00:38:24
Yeah, I'm sitting here looking clear.
00:38:27
You know what you were supposed to do, Dwayne, and then it said,
00:38:30
turn and I do, you know what I do?
00:38:32
Remember seeing turned On the wall and the clear apartment.
00:38:41
But I it just never crossed my mind that he would have let
00:38:47
Dwayne turn and left them like that, right?
00:38:50
But I do think I remember seeing Dwayne turned on that wall. in
00:38:57
the clear apartment, I have to Google it and look it up, of
00:39:01
course we're going to have to do that but um, you know, also Mold
00:39:08
trying to figure out all this other stuff.
00:39:10
Like what? This clear mean.
00:39:12
Oh, the way she figured out that dances face.
00:39:17
Hmm. Yeah, because they got the actor
00:39:20
to come back and play it, both of the actors of, for Jenna and
00:39:24
Dwayne came back, because even though Jenny's her walker, he
00:39:30
did kill her walker. And we saw that she was quite.
00:39:33
Um, she was quite mummified desiccated, whatever you want to
00:39:36
call. And she did not look like her
00:39:39
but throughout the episode every time he, you know, pulled up a
00:39:42
gun and was trying to protect Mo, he will see Jenny on the
00:39:46
other end of the scope and it was fucking him with them.
00:39:48
I'm real bad, you know? And I kind of feel like in a
00:39:51
sense like I'm not sure if this is what they meant but I felt
00:39:56
like in a sense it was Jenny kind of taunting him like oh so
00:40:00
you're going to do everything. You can to protect this child.
00:40:02
When you couldn't protect ours, that's what I feel like his mind
00:40:05
was trying to, you know, play dumb jokes on him.
00:40:09
Like oh yeah, you about to fuck up because you won't keep seeing
00:40:13
her while you trying to protect this and I was like, that's
00:40:16
right. but, But yeah. So oh I remember what it was.
00:40:25
I was going to say most figuring out about Kings County and
00:40:29
that's where Morgan was gonna go.
00:40:31
She said, what did she say? Madison said you had to take
00:40:34
care of something. So, how did you know I was here?
00:40:38
She was like, because you had King County on the wall and I
00:40:41
knew it was important. By the way that you told me.
00:40:44
It wasn't. She's not smart enough.
00:40:47
I'm sorry. She has not been exposed to
00:40:49
people. Enough.
00:40:50
I didn't mean to say she's not smart enough, she has not been
00:40:53
exposed to people enough to understand that kind of nuance
00:40:58
that kind of manipulation that kind of White live.
00:41:00
That kind of oh I'm not she has not been around people enough to
00:41:06
know that she's only been around other children and the Padre
00:41:09
people. And I can guarantee you the
00:41:12
Padre. Adults are not having
00:41:13
conversations with her like that.
00:41:15
So again, that's one of the things that was bugging me about
00:41:18
this episode because they're right.
00:41:20
Writing her in a way. That doesn't make sense for her
00:41:24
character. And you making her seem older
00:41:27
than eight. It's already bad enough, the
00:41:29
girl don't look eight and I was trying to figure this out.
00:41:33
I posted this question on Twitter.
00:41:35
I said, why was the show so adamant that it's only seven
00:41:40
years? Because this kid does not look
00:41:42
eight Finch. Does not look seven.
00:41:46
But somebody said, maybe it was just because they wanted this
00:41:51
show to line up with the other show, which to me again tells me
00:41:58
that y'all have plans to tie the shows together.
00:42:02
So, other than that, it wouldn't make a difference.
00:42:06
If it was seven years, if it was 12 years, if it was 15 years,
00:42:11
y'all could have told me this. This child was 11. 12, I would
00:42:16
believe it. Eight know, the way y'all have
00:42:22
her acting and deducing things and figuring things out, things
00:42:27
that she shouldn't even be familiar with.
00:42:29
No. Indeed, he be a senior in high
00:42:31
school. I had not shown look that old
00:42:35
but no mentally. Oh absolutely girl.
00:42:40
It just don't make sense. It doesn't make sense. but
00:42:45
anyway, um so, there are some Throwbacks that I loved in the
00:42:52
In the episode, the fact that mold found the pictures, you
00:42:57
know the photo album with all of his pictures that was so sweet
00:43:02
to me. And then of course, you know,
00:43:04
she was like I like it when you say I like seeing you smile
00:43:07
because he's smiling in the pictures and then Grace brings
00:43:09
up. She was like, I remember the
00:43:11
first time I saw you smile the carousel.
00:43:13
I was like, y'all finna kill me and then she was like, what have
00:43:17
we been doing these seven years? What we thought we had to do it.
00:43:20
You see all this? Wet.
00:43:22
And then Mo was like, did you guys ever see each other?
00:43:25
And I mean, the way that they are looking at each other, they
00:43:28
can't take their eyes off each other and they're telling her.
00:43:31
They were like we saw each other here and there, but if Padre
00:43:34
knew what we meant to each other, and Grace is so
00:43:39
heartbroken. She's like, I'm sorry, we wasted
00:43:41
all that time. And I'm like, okay, but
00:43:43
chocolate fix that. Now, just take your daughter.
00:43:45
Get the hell. All y'all can fix this.
00:43:48
But what happens, what happens because firstly cause before we
00:43:53
even get to this part, keep in mind when Grace and Morgan first
00:44:03
started when he saw was her in the truck and he was talking to
00:44:07
her and she was like the cancer back.
00:44:12
I said, Oh no, this was not until the, she didn't say that
00:44:18
until like they were in the house, they were in the house.
00:44:22
They had wherever she said it. Yes.
00:44:25
After she said it, when she said that, this was me.
00:44:31
Because I do just that so that actually to me, made sense that
00:44:41
was probably one of the only things in the episode as far as
00:44:45
like, that kind of stuff that made sense, because we know
00:44:50
Grace had heavy radiation exposure.
00:44:53
You know, she had Athena Athena pulled that out of her.
00:44:59
But that doesn't mean that it was gone, it just it took a
00:45:02
while to come back. And I mean, think about it Grace
00:45:05
is live on borrowed time for eight years, you know, the fact
00:45:13
that it even took that long to come back is a miracle in and of
00:45:18
itself but I was just like, okay, so should have been
00:45:23
through all this stuff she's going to had his cancer.
00:45:27
I was like okay but then she's they started take they started
00:45:31
talking about. Okay well we're going to do this
00:45:33
and we're going to be together. We're going to be a family and I
00:45:35
was just sitting here looking at the TV screen light.
00:45:38
Hey, go to Hope, fuck me over. What is it?
00:45:42
Anthony says, hope is where dreams go to die.
00:45:44
Was like y'all about to fuck me over.
00:45:45
Aren't you still see what I want?
00:45:49
I told many this when he was at Dragon Con.
00:45:53
I said, I just want Morgan and Grace to live happily ever
00:45:57
after. And just, I just need it.
00:46:01
Which is needed. Look, do you see what my do?
00:46:04
You see? My screen is on my phone.
00:46:07
When she and Morgan finally kiss, I put that on my
00:46:10
background and she was funny when when she was like, what are
00:46:15
you guys doing? More Mo said, what are you guys
00:46:18
doing? And then we like you've never
00:46:20
seen anybody kiss again. Never seen.
00:46:24
Nobody kisses. I have a hair.
00:46:25
She know all this other stuff that she should know.
00:46:27
Don't make sense. It does not make sense in the
00:46:34
world of The Walking Dead. Anyway, so Like I said, Dwight
00:46:45
and Sherry they're trying to, they're trying to flush him out,
00:46:47
then literally sending putting Walker's there, they're setting
00:46:51
walkers on fire and sending them towards the house to try to
00:46:55
flush him out. That would one thing they did
00:46:58
and then I think the Walker got I think it got caught on fire by
00:47:02
the flare or something like that.
00:47:04
So what they decided to do okay they're going to come out the
00:47:08
house. Mona knows how to kill.
00:47:11
I can't I I hate saying Karen. Ramona knows how to kill a
00:47:14
walker Grace knows how to kill a walker.
00:47:17
Morgan has the gun. He's like, I'll clear the way
00:47:20
y'all, chill them straight line and we get out of here.
00:47:24
Of course, that doesn't work because when Morgan looks
00:47:27
through the scope, he sees you all he's saying is it was why
00:47:33
can't I just use his stick? Because I think the gun for the
00:47:39
circumstances they were in made more sense.
00:47:44
But anyway, so he sees Jenny And Grace is, of course, fighting
00:47:52
the Walkers MO is doing great. But then she starts to get
00:47:56
overwhelmed and Grace, sends her back in the house.
00:47:59
Like get back in the house, lock the door.
00:48:03
So Morgan has told Dwight and Sherry at this point again he
00:48:08
has reiterated. This is what I need to do.
00:48:10
This is the only reason why I came back to King County because
00:48:13
Padre has it in her mind strike. That Morgan came back for
00:48:20
weapons. Morgan, came back for
00:48:22
reinforcements. All this other stuff morning.
00:48:24
Like, I just came so I could bury my son so I could put my
00:48:27
son rest. That's all I want to do.
00:48:30
Now, I will say this, as much as Dwight and share it got on my
00:48:33
nerves a little bit. These other two soldiers that
00:48:36
were with them. Y'all really getting on my
00:48:40
nerves, this dude is obviously like I understand you probably
00:48:43
know Morgan's reputation, you know what he's capable of, but
00:48:47
the fact that you shouldn't try to walk up on him while he's
00:48:50
trying to take care of this and do I had to be like, no, it's
00:48:53
okay. It's okay.
00:48:55
Like, bro. You don't want that smoke with
00:48:58
Morgan. Especially not right here, right
00:49:00
now in this house. Why he's about to confront?
00:49:03
What he thinks is his, his dead, son?
00:49:06
You don't want this smoke. Will you put the gun to his
00:49:10
head? He was like him.
00:49:13
Because what happens is Morgan will he has Dwight, open the
00:49:18
door. They go back to the house, they
00:49:19
come in. They hear Walker walking around
00:49:22
Morgan is fully prepared to kill Dwayne, but the Walker is not
00:49:27
Dwayne. He's like, it's not him, it's
00:49:30
not him. So he does kill that Walker.
00:49:32
And then of course, he looks over here, is Jenny still on the
00:49:37
ground where he where he laid her out after she attacked their
00:49:40
son. and, The the thing that really got on my nerves about
00:49:48
these other about these other soldiers and been about shrike
00:49:51
calling in on the radio and do this and do this and blah blah
00:49:55
blah blah blah. This man is already grieving,
00:50:00
okay? He thought that his son was here
00:50:03
and he's not, he just sees the, the further zombified corpse of
00:50:10
his wife. He's starting to lose it, you
00:50:14
can tell, he's calling for son, he's trying to figure out.
00:50:17
And the fact that his son has what he thinks is gotten out is
00:50:23
getting to him if y'all have ever seen Morgan in this state,
00:50:26
and we know that Dwight has, we know that, you know, Yeah, to
00:50:33
leave him. The fuck alone.
00:50:36
This man is dealing with some stuff.
00:50:38
Remember Morgan Jones doesn't die.
00:50:42
Give him some time to process what's going on because on top
00:50:48
of all of that now he's starting to take the guilt until himself.
00:50:53
I put you in more danger for nothing.
00:50:55
You know, he was like, I couldn't, I waited too long.
00:50:58
He got, he got out and here come the soldier with the gun shrike.
00:51:02
Wants answers. Why did you really come here?
00:51:04
And Grace is like, look, he told you, he was coming for his son,
00:51:09
who was it? That said, bullshit Grace was
00:51:11
that Sherry? I'm sorry.
00:51:14
Sharon Needles lap, she needs. You should know better because
00:51:17
of the, The Depths and the things that she went through for
00:51:20
her own son, that's what the hell up.
00:51:22
Up. So they sitting here, they put
00:51:28
strike on the shrike is on the radio, she still put them on the
00:51:32
radio. I want to know?
00:51:33
Why is he there? Why is he there and why does
00:51:36
talking to look? Y'all give him a minute.
00:51:38
Yeah, the man a minute. He leaves some time to process
00:51:40
this. And Morgan is at this point.
00:51:44
He's looking at Gun Barrel dead in the face.
00:51:47
I mean, he's looking at that, he's looking at the soldier
00:51:50
who's holding the gun straight down the barrel dead, in his
00:51:53
face, Grace is starting to plead with him.
00:51:55
Martin was like, oh, you know what?
00:51:57
Y'all, go ahead and kill me. He was like a kitchen.
00:52:00
If you don't do it, do it, he puts that thing right on his
00:52:03
head, Grace is still over there. Hollering and this, dude, I was
00:52:08
like hold up. Y'all not going to sit here and
00:52:12
do this. Yeah, no I don't remember what
00:52:17
happened to Morgan Flinch whatever but Dwight knocks one
00:52:21
soldier. Sherry gets the other one and
00:52:23
I'm just like, oh, that's what it was Dwight at active.
00:52:27
And he was like, why would you do that?
00:52:28
And why is that I got to watch. You get killed in Cold Blood all
00:52:35
this shit. All this Padre shit.
00:52:37
This is just like being at the sanctuary all over again.
00:52:42
And they keep saying that they keep saying that but you keep
00:52:46
then falling in line and do whatever the fuck.
00:52:50
This me show you how to do it. Well, here's the thing because
00:52:53
Padre has something to use against them but they got a
00:52:56
point where they call Padres Bluff.
00:53:01
Because again, I don't think Padres in a really kill children
00:53:04
now, granted, she let that bite or walk into Finch but that's
00:53:07
because she's so strongly believes that June can come up
00:53:10
with a cure If there was no hope for a cure, I don't think she
00:53:15
would have done that. But she did that, so she could
00:53:18
prove a point she always proven points is true.
00:53:31
To figure out how to get to Finch and they call it.
00:53:35
They call back in the shrike, okay?
00:53:37
So your soldiers are unconscious right now.
00:53:39
We're not doing shit else for you until we talk to our son now
00:53:43
again. This is only taking place a few,
00:53:50
a few days. Probably like a week.
00:53:54
After this incident, Finch is sitting next to strike and he
00:53:59
looks Mighty healthy. for now anyway, Rocco's like your June
00:54:06
really figure it out. So any strike finally
00:54:14
acquiesces, she puts Finch on the radio, they talked to him,
00:54:17
they like okay, are you okay? This then other.
00:54:21
So look, this is what we're about to do.
00:54:25
You remember that movie? I showed you?
00:54:28
I don't know why should I didn't catch that?
00:54:34
Finch trip, sir. Knocks her out.
00:54:40
Okay, that is definitely Dwight and Sherry son.
00:54:43
Okay, I can get that. I'll give them that I'm given.
00:54:48
So they're basically is like, they're like look there's a
00:54:51
there's a supply boat that's leaving in the morning.
00:54:53
I need you to go get on that boat.
00:54:54
We will meet you when it when it comes and we'll leave together.
00:54:58
We'll go somewhere not in the midst of all this.
00:55:02
That's when Morgan and grace are having their conversation and
00:55:06
this is when Grace admits to Morgan that she is sick.
00:55:13
And I was just sitting there like that assert 37 time.
00:55:19
Like they just can't catch a break which okay?
00:55:22
I understand it the walking dead because I was over like honestly
00:55:27
that is the part that I was over because why I mean I guess I get
00:55:35
it like, I mean Leslie. Let's think about it in this
00:55:39
sense. People who fight cancer in this
00:55:43
day and age, with all the medical technologies that we
00:55:46
have here. All of the advanced treatments,
00:55:49
you got think about it. This particular timeline.
00:55:55
They're right at the same time but they don't have everything.
00:55:58
Because their world has been to ship for 13 years.
00:56:01
Now, in our world with everything that we have, there
00:56:08
are people who get cancer multiple times.
00:56:10
They're, they're they're cleared of it.
00:56:12
True. They go into remission.
00:56:15
It comes back. And comes back in a different
00:56:17
form. So again, I it was realistic.
00:56:23
But I'm I'm Like you in the fact that I just want Grace and
00:56:27
Morgan to catch a break. These are people who have lost
00:56:31
the people. They love, they have lost
00:56:35
children. They in a sense have lost each
00:56:38
other. They have lost another child
00:56:40
that they took into their heart. They've lost all their friends
00:56:44
and family. Thanks Zeke. and when she told
00:56:50
him about being sick, I was just like, okay, so this is the thing
00:56:57
that's going to push them to say, okay, you know what, we
00:57:00
gotta, we gotta go, you know, and and Grace was telling him.
00:57:04
She was like, look, you got to put this behind, you got to put
00:57:08
this behind you, you got to put all this behind you is it's got
00:57:12
to stop, you know. Um, And she was like, I don't
00:57:17
want to what we wasted so much time, and what was the thing?
00:57:21
She said something about. There's a reason why I didn't
00:57:23
want you to hear what I was planning the trip because she
00:57:25
was listening to headphones when she first got there and she was
00:57:28
like the book I was playing it at Double speed.
00:57:31
This is what she was doing before.
00:57:34
And that's when she tells me. She's like the radiation is
00:57:36
caught up to me. I'm so sorry.
00:57:39
We wasted all this time. And Morgan's like, okay, you
00:57:43
know what, we still got time. We can do this, let's go get our
00:57:49
child. Let's leave and we can be a
00:57:52
family for however, long that is.
00:57:56
Then here comes more on the radio.
00:57:58
So, yeah, there's some walkers on fire in the house is on fire
00:58:03
and I'm in the house. Catch a fucking right.
00:58:10
Catch a fucking break. So, anyway, they go back to the
00:58:17
house. Morgan has told mold to go
00:58:19
upstairs into the attic. You know, to get away from the
00:58:23
Flames. He was like, I'm coming baby.
00:58:24
I'm coming for you. You know, we coming. so, when
00:58:28
she gets up to the Attic, There's a lot of smoke.
00:58:34
There's the writing on the walls and she's looking around.
00:58:37
She's confused and then you hear a walker.
00:58:40
And as soon as I heard that Walker, I burst into tears again
00:58:46
because I was like, are they going to make us?
00:58:47
See Dwayne as a walk at? I didn't think it was going to
00:58:50
be the same character because of course, it's been 12 years,
00:58:57
right? He's a grown man now.
00:59:00
Well, you know, the wonders of Ooo special effects makeup
00:59:04
ecology. Yeah.
00:59:06
Because when mold comes in like I said, she's in the Attic.
00:59:10
She's Looking around at everything Morgan is all, he's a
00:59:14
man on a mission. Now, you know, and I think, you
00:59:18
know, the funniest part of that whole, the funny part of the
00:59:21
whole thing for me when she get upset she go Dwayne, like he was
00:59:24
going to answer her. I think it was just a, I can't
00:59:28
you was probably the fact that she was just so I know.
00:59:31
But that tickled me. I was like, I know, I know but I
00:59:39
was confused because my Like he was up there but he wasn't
00:59:43
coming out and then when you, when you see him finally come,
00:59:47
you know, come like reaching for her and you see his face and the
00:59:51
fact that he's changed. Yeah, yeah.
00:59:53
His whole right side of his face is mangled.
01:00:00
And girl, he had on the same clothes that we saw him in and I
01:00:05
was just like when I looked at this, I was just like Yeah,
01:00:10
Wally boohoo. Just crying.
01:00:16
And Morgan at the same time while all of this is going while
01:00:19
we're seeing Duane reaching for Mo.
01:00:23
He's looking in his gun again, and here comes Jenny, and he
01:00:26
just can't get the vision out. And it's like, he's fighting
01:00:28
himself, he's like, oh my God, I can't do it, I can't do it and
01:00:32
then he finally figures it out. Okay.
01:00:35
You know what, I gotta get to my child. at the same time, the
01:00:40
damn ceiling caves in traps Mo and when Morgan comes upstairs,
01:00:51
he sees all of the writing, he seized Wayne's name, he sees
01:00:56
where he wrote you stay there and he is dumbfounded.
01:01:01
He was like I brought him here. And I was just like it even
01:01:07
talking about it. Now I have Goosebumps because
01:01:09
that's when you do finally understand just, how far gone?
01:01:15
He was girl, when I tell you, I cried throughout most of this
01:01:21
episode, everything that has to do with him talking about,
01:01:24
Dwayne talking about Jenny him going through, the realization
01:01:28
that Dwayne wasn't in the house and had cried so much this
01:01:32
episode. And at the same same time, Mo
01:01:35
was sitting there. She's calling him.
01:01:37
Dad helped me. She's trying to get from under
01:01:39
the thing. Duane is there.
01:01:40
And then when Mo when Morgan puts the scope up and he sees
01:01:45
Dwayne, he has to look away for a moment because That so baby.
01:01:54
And Moses just sitting there please.
01:01:56
I know you can do it. Please help me.
01:01:58
I know you can and girl when they started doing the flashes
01:02:02
of Dwayne from that episode, you see his face.
01:02:06
You see him you see him in the police station you know when he
01:02:10
was taking a shower and being joyous and you saw him holding
01:02:13
it girl, I was girl, balling, balling, balling, balling.
01:02:18
Oh you do this to me and Molly but then you can and then when
01:02:21
you hear him in the background you hear him daddy.
01:02:23
Daddy. Daddy.
01:02:24
See. That's when Morgan was like, no,
01:02:26
because you have this ghost of a person in front of you and you
01:02:30
have this living child calling you for help as well.
01:02:33
At that point, you got to make a decision.
01:02:37
You got to make a quick decision and he goes to Mo and he looks
01:02:40
at, he looks at Dwayne. This just like this look of
01:02:44
horror like, oh my god. Did I really do this?
01:02:50
He had to go, but the other thing that that aren't me with,
01:02:54
that was when he came to check on my he was like, are you okay?
01:02:58
She's like, it's going to be okay.
01:03:00
It's going to be okay. She has a smile on her face and
01:03:03
I know that probably wasn't anything intentional and it's
01:03:06
not anything. But I because I think that she
01:03:10
for her she was happy because That was the closure that Morgan
01:03:16
needed in order to do this, huh? You think?
01:03:20
I think, I think it was just basically, you know, like she
01:03:24
was saying, she was like, it's okay, it's going to be okay, and
01:03:26
she turned around and she had this hint of a smile.
01:03:30
Like I said, I don't think it was anything Sinister or
01:03:32
whatever you want to call it. I think she was just in that
01:03:35
moment. She realized they were going to
01:03:37
be okay that he was going to be okay because he was now able to
01:03:42
do this. He was able to do the things.
01:03:44
That he came to do. And what do you tell them?
01:03:47
At the beginning of the episode when she was talking about
01:03:50
Madison? And she mentioned to them, that
01:03:52
Daniel was alive and they're going to take down Padre, we can
01:03:56
help with that. And Morgan was like I think at
01:03:59
that point he had a little bit of Hope because he was like,
01:04:02
yeah, we can, but I got to do what I came to do first so for
01:04:06
her to see that, he finally did that.
01:04:10
I think she was happy. That he was able to do it.
01:04:15
It just it, it just felt wrong to see that and I don't know if
01:04:19
anybody else caught that or if it just bothered anybody else
01:04:22
the way it did. Because I was like, I understand
01:04:24
you're proud of him because she said you did it and you know,
01:04:30
again, she's happy her he was able to do what he came to do
01:04:34
and that means so much more. For all of them because now they
01:04:41
can stay together. They can be a family, they can
01:04:43
fight Padre together because at this point mode doesn't know
01:04:47
about Grace being sick. You know?
01:04:49
And after what happens in the Attic, Morgan, finally is able
01:04:53
to put his his wife and son to rest.
01:04:56
He buries them in that basically in the records because the house
01:05:00
is a fucking mess at this point. But you know, they have the
01:05:06
conversation Morgan and Grace. It's about what they're going to
01:05:09
do. They're going to be a family.
01:05:12
Moe is walking around in the little rubble and I was just
01:05:16
like, uh, don't do this, don't do this.
01:05:19
I was like, something was about to happen to her.
01:05:21
Something's about to happen to her.
01:05:23
She finds the photo album, and she sits down and starts looking
01:05:27
at the, why would you say that now?
01:05:29
Because in your mind anyway? Yeah, I think about it, I get it
01:05:36
the morning killed. Everything when when he was
01:05:39
coming to get her, which he probably did something else
01:05:42
probably showed up. But she sitting there looking
01:05:45
like an album that Morgan and grace are talking about the
01:05:49
future and, you know, he's like, we're going to help Madison and
01:05:54
Dane with Padre, we're going to reunite every child who still
01:05:56
has a parent out there. And then you me and mo, we're
01:05:58
going to go, we're gonna go be a family.
01:06:02
We're going to spend as much time together as we can because
01:06:04
she, you know, Grace thinks that she has probably months maybe up
01:06:09
to a year, maybe, you know, that's with no treatment.
01:06:14
So they're sitting there having this conversation and it's very
01:06:19
sweet. It's very poignant because she
01:06:21
was like you told me once that no matter what we had to do, I
01:06:23
had to live. So that's what we're going to do
01:06:26
live. They share this little hug and
01:06:28
I'm just sitting here feeling like You know, they're like when
01:06:32
do we tell her? And he was like, well, she just
01:06:35
got us all back together. We'll just hold off for a little
01:06:37
bit which is going to let her be happy.
01:06:39
And I was just thinking like y'all are about to pull the rug
01:06:43
from up under us. So again, she's sitting there,
01:06:47
she's looking at the photo album and I love that she's getting
01:06:51
Joy from looking at the pictures of him and his family.
01:06:56
But she was like, I'm glad the picture survive, you need
01:06:59
something to help you remember in, as soon as she said that
01:07:01
this damn Walker comes out and grabs her single to what
01:07:05
happened with him with the governor's.
01:07:08
You remember, the little girl remember she was playing in the
01:07:13
mud and that Walker came out and kind of grabbed her.
01:07:17
I was like so weird. Michael, you're eating this but
01:07:21
she fights off the Walker little bit and then of course Grace and
01:07:24
Morgan come over and And when I saw that Walker grab Grace, I
01:07:28
already knew before she did the reveal I already knew.
01:07:32
What the fuck happened. I was like it's called all over
01:07:35
again. It's called all over again.
01:07:38
Nothing Because when I'm always sitting there, checking her and
01:07:43
Grace was checking her, and then she turned around and you can
01:07:47
see her doing it. I said, God damn it.
01:07:49
She fucking got bit. I said, so it ain't even gonna
01:07:53
be the cancer. That's going to kill this gonna
01:07:54
be a fucking bite. And of course, that's not
01:07:58
something you can hide. She turns around Morgan is
01:08:01
happy. Because because Mo was okay, he
01:08:04
turns around and, and Grace shows in the bite and I'm just
01:08:07
like You see my favorite so fucking pissed and at that
01:08:16
moment that moment right there was a moment I was like just
01:08:22
that fuck all y'all look know why I keep going like this bitch
01:08:30
then been almost dead 30 sometimes like if this point
01:08:35
y'all don't want on there. No more.
01:08:37
Yeah, making it very clear. Just come on.
01:08:40
Let's see. Even still you want them to have
01:08:54
that exists. Goddamn kid can we not have
01:08:57
shit? Okay I've got one happy couple
01:09:00
of the end. Okay right here you know Dwight
01:09:05
and share with they are reunited with Finch just as Morgan pools
01:09:08
up in the truck and he's like Yo, we need that boat.
01:09:11
We need to go back to Padre because Grace got bit.
01:09:18
I just I can't but, you know, Morgan's like that treatment,
01:09:23
that that June is been using on. Your boy, has it been working
01:09:27
there like? Yeah, he seems fine, it's been
01:09:30
working. Okay, we got to get her to June,
01:09:32
we got to go back to Padre. I was like God damn it.
01:09:36
This ain't gonna work, right? This ain't gonna work, right?
01:09:41
And she don't know, the strike is the person that you are
01:09:44
dealing with whatever made you think that that was okay.
01:09:49
My, I mean, if you're in a situation where you have no, I
01:09:52
mean, think about where she was being.
01:09:53
And when I say, just like Carl, same side, Paul survived
01:09:58
everything he survived. He got shot twice.
01:10:04
Just die from Walker B. Same thing with Grace, she don't
01:10:08
survive radiation poisoning. A stillbirth a fucking nuclear
01:10:15
warhead, destination. She has survived all this.
01:10:20
Having to give up a second child, having to live without
01:10:24
the man, she loves without the family, she's built, she done
01:10:28
got kidnapped. She got kidnapped by Jenny
01:10:32
Should I went through all this stuff?
01:10:35
She got cancer now. Yes, sir.
01:10:39
That she says she can probably she can probably, you know still
01:10:42
hold on for a few months to a year and now she got a fucking
01:10:47
Walker by it. When I say I was pissed I was
01:10:50
like okay but then I thought I say.
01:10:52
Okay again here's my mistake. Hope is where dreams go to die.
01:10:57
I was like but if Ventures okay June's.
01:11:04
Um, you know June's treatment is working, that means she can be
01:11:09
okay. That's really what?
01:11:11
I was hoping going into this now, do I?
01:11:16
I don't know because even the way that she is in the boat she
01:11:21
sent because even with Carl After Carl got bit, he was still
01:11:27
doing so I mean think about it he was still leading.
01:11:30
He was still leading up a fight against Negan with his bike but
01:11:36
Carl didn't have any other underlying medical conditions.
01:11:40
So I'm like okay this cancer is probably going to make it go
01:11:44
faster. Whatever you know, whatever this
01:11:47
infection is that that is caused by the Walker B.
01:11:50
It's going to run through her body quicker.
01:11:52
So I was like, I mean, if they can get her to June, They might
01:12:00
have a chance but this is Fear. The Walking Dead.
01:12:03
This is the last season. We knew we weren't going to come
01:12:07
away with the season with everybody safe.
01:12:13
And I was just like, if it had to be, anybody did it have to be
01:12:18
Grace? But anyway, it did shut up.
01:12:24
It did happen. Here, did not, it did not.
01:12:26
It is you take this, you take the main Beacon of Hope.
01:12:32
The one positive person out of all of them, the one who isn't
01:12:41
I'm working on leaving his woman, still alive.
01:12:44
I hate going to lead to the next show, if his woman's because I
01:12:48
could take her with him. Don't even don't.
01:12:52
Don't you know what? if I take more, I know where we
01:12:59
are, who keep moving the season in, its it Grace.
01:13:02
See, he can take Grace because, you know what, I still think the
01:13:05
CRM is going to tie into this show too.
01:13:08
So yeah, the CRM has medical facilities.
01:13:12
Let me, let me not. But yeah, so anyway, I actually
01:13:18
really did love this episode because I loved the Nostalgia.
01:13:23
I love going back to Kings County.
01:13:24
Yes, the story was so heartbreaking.
01:13:27
But again, Lennie James just you Miss Morgan period.
01:13:34
I fucking love him. And in this episode, he was just
01:13:38
top-notch. and I love seeing it, but it's like, We got more
01:13:47
heart. I'll why?
01:13:48
Oh why? Oh, I don't know.
01:13:53
I know, I really hate Michelle is not here to discuss this
01:13:58
episode. Well, she has, but she she on a
01:14:01
cruise somewhere All Out on the Ocean and shit.
01:14:05
So whatever you think whatever, whatever.
01:14:10
So she's gonna she's actually going to miss us discussing the
01:14:14
rest of this first half of the season, because she won't be
01:14:18
gone for ten days. She just left yesterday.
01:14:20
So or just left this world? Somewhere.
01:14:26
But so your thoughts About this episode of how it ended.
01:14:37
Hurry up and kill. Greg saw, you know what?
01:14:40
I can't. I cannot stand you.
01:14:44
I cannot stand you. See, I'm not the only one
01:14:46
thinking it. For other people.
01:14:56
And some and cure the Walker bite from grace.
01:15:01
And then just how also get like get one of those Walker heads to
01:15:05
bite strike and just leave it at because I'm telling you now have
01:15:09
no sympathy for that bitch, I don't like her, I don't give a
01:15:12
fuck. What her back story is that
01:15:14
bitch got to die? Yes die.
01:15:18
And I don't think I'm This mate, I'm more into the next episode,
01:15:23
but I just feel like this story plot is dragging out for them.
01:15:30
I mean, I get it but it's like, come on, baby Padre.
01:15:33
Yeah, it's like he's feeling a little bit.
01:15:36
Like it's feeling a little bit like the Reapers.
01:15:40
Yeah, like it's like you're giving them all this stuff to do
01:15:44
or you making them this big bad but you're not really giving
01:15:49
them what they need. Yeah.
01:15:52
Yeah. So because it's like this.
01:15:57
Let's get there. Let's go.
01:15:58
Okay, we get it right because an asshole, what else?
01:16:03
Yeah, but she makes things about because she could have just let
01:16:08
me look if Morgan was Gone. She kind of just left Morgan
01:16:13
alone because Morgan left Mo with Padre said it was a better
01:16:19
place for, you know, for her. He left went on the run because
01:16:27
of Madison. If you knew he was already out
01:16:30
of your vicinity, you could have just just, just leave it just
01:16:37
needs to die because here's the thing.
01:16:39
She could just left me alone. She got just left him alone.
01:16:43
Let him go do. Whatever if he was going to try
01:16:46
to come back from. Oh okay.
01:16:47
You have reinforced off me. Do something.
01:16:52
Then if she left well enough alone Morgan and Grace could
01:16:59
have gone back to the house. They could have saved mold.
01:17:03
They could have got the hell on they wouldn't have even had to
01:17:08
have gone through all of that, because the only reason why Mo
01:17:11
ended up back in the house was because the white and Sherry,
01:17:17
Called Walker's to the house because that's what the two
01:17:21
people holding guns on them. Made them do.
01:17:24
Try could have just left well enough alone and be like, look
01:17:27
what? Just wait him out, what the fuck
01:17:29
else you got to do? You could have just waited him
01:17:34
out and you would have been good.
01:17:37
You would have got Mo back, maybe because you already let
01:17:40
MoGo once exactly, you could, you know, Grace, I mean, just
01:17:48
check out to die that bitch. Got to die.
01:17:50
She got to die. And that's really all I have.
01:17:54
That's really all I have to say to end this episode Triton needs
01:17:58
to Die. The bitch, got the call that
01:18:00
know. And so on that note, that's it
