On The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 3, we learned that Rick, Daryl, Glenn, Michonne, Abraham, Sasha, Nicholas and Heath were up to while Carol was fighting off wolves in Alexandria.
We also learned which one of these favorites did not make it home in the end.
GULP! And also: SOB!
We opened the intense hour with Rick discussing a new plan for the aforementioned survivors, along with a few other residents.
They would go home and he would go back to the RV, leading away half of the herd being drawn to the horn in the process.
Rick then spoke only to Glenn and Michonne, explaining to them that some of the Alexandrians would likely die, a prediction overheard by Heath.
Once Rick had left for his part of the mission, he spent most of the rest of the episode running… and running some more, taking out the occasional walker along the way while checking in with his crew via walkie talkie.
Meanwhile, Glenn, Michonne and the others went toe-to-toe with a bunch of walkers.
The Alexandrians were a mixed bag when it came to fighting, though no one fared worse than Sturgess, who actually shot a neighbor in the led by accident by running off into the woods.
Nicholas later found Sturgess’ remains.
This group eventually hit in a pet store in order to patch up the gunshot victim’s leg, with Glenn coming up with a plan to prevent the oncoming herd from making to Alexandria: he would set a building on fire as a distraction.
Aiming to help redeem Nicholas, Glenn invited him to do the fiery deed to a nearby feed store with him.
Once this pair left, Heath talked trash to Michonne about how they do not “leave people behind.”
This led to some back-and-forth between Michonne and Heath, as they argued about their past experiences and the sacrifices they had to make at times.
Unfortunately, Heath learned what Michonne meant in the end because the group made a run for it in the face of a walker attack… and Heath was the one to say they had to leave a newlywed resident behind in order for the rest to survive.
Things weren’t going much better for Glenn and Nicholas, who discovered that the feed store had already burned to the ground. Pondering what to do next, they ended up trapped by endless walkers atop a dumpster.
Unable to handle the pressure, Nicholas thanked Glenn… and then shot himself in the head. He accidentally took Glenn down with him into a sea of walkers… and yeah. Glenn was devoured by the enemy.
To close this painful episode, Rick arrived at the RV and was jumped by two wolves. One of them had a jar of Judith’s baby food on him. Rick was left to shoot down several other wolves, yet was finally able to lead the herd away… except the stupid RV wouldn’t start!
So, as we mourned Glenn and were left shaking our heads over his death, we were also left wondering about Rick when the hour cut to black and he was surrounded by wolves.
Yikes. Go ahead and watch The Walking Dead online in order to relive all this sad and violent chaos.
