Will Mercer leave with everyone, or stay to enforce Pamela’s bidding? The next episode should be interesting.
#Rick the walking dead season 3 full#
There wasn’t a ton of action in this one, but it was full of previews into where the main group is heading from here. The only thing that would’ve made it better is if Lance met the same fate. This episode was great because Sebastian met his end. “Don’t worry he’ll live,” Daryl says as he walks away. He stabs Lance in the hand while the others look on in astonishment. Of course he can’t do this without one last Daryl-ism. Daryl takes Lance hostage, but is convinced to let him go. Near the beginning of the episode, Daryl’s group faces off against Pamela and Lance’s group. Judith stands behind, her dad’s revolver poised in a firing position, complete sadness in her eyes. While people are screaming and panicking in the background, a shot rings out and the walker drops. During the chaos that ensues when the civilians hear Sebastian’s recorded words, Sebastian gets bit by a walker and goes down. As showrunner Angela Kang states in the after-show summary, Judith doesn’t want to continue this world of constant death and killing.īut that sentiment doesn’t last long.

Rick pulls the handgun out to give to Rick’s daughter, Judith, who initially rejects the offer. In the preview trailer for this episode, we saw Daryl handling Rick’s old Colt Python revolver, which led us to believe that he either found clues to Rick’s whereabouts or we’d get a hint at some kind of connection between Rick and future spin-offs. “The desperate need to believe that the old American dream is still real… it’s a friggin joke.” Ouch. “The Commonwealth is built on buying into bullshit,” the recording spoke to the crowd. Is this part of Lance’s own plan to take them all out at once, or does he just know that a Eugene/Pamela alliance wouldn’t work anyway.ĭuring the Founder’s Day celebration, Sebastian is all set to make his big official political speech, but Max and Eugene take that opportunity to play what Max secretly recorded earlier over the loudspeaker.

I think Eugene figured that Lance had had enough of the governor’s antics, but Lance simply told Eugene that he needs to side with her instead. Max records his rant to use against him later.Įugene even gets in on the behind-the-scenes espionage as he approaches Lance about the best way to take Pamela down. But while Sebastian is left alone with Pamela’s assistant, Max, the kid cannot keep his mouth shut about how much he hates the people of The Commonwealth. She believes that the people will go along with it as long as Sebastian is cleared of any guilt. Pamela officially blames Lance for the killings in front of everyone and tells her son that he will be the one to take over the Milton legacy (started by Pamela’s father). “Whatever game you’re playing, Pamela, I’m very much in it,” Lance yells to her while he’s handcuffed in the dirt. The idea is that Pamela will allow everyone to leave and return to their settlements in exchange for blaming Lance for the civilian killings instead of the real killer, her son. Our heroes are packing up and leaving The Commonwealth while others are heading off to check on the other settlements of Hilltop and Alexandria after Lance Hornsby and his soldiers went through. One major takeaway I got from this episode is that it’s setting the stage for the main group to break apart into smaller segments, as often happens on TWD. Warning!
