• The Kingdom is experiencing crumbling infrastructure.

• While some of the Saviors have integrated with the other communities, a fraction, those that attacked the camp six years ago, have been left on the outskirts, since the Sanctuary "went bust." They ambush Carol and Henry, but she catches them while they're asleep and burns them alive.

• Michonne is the most distrustful of the new group. However, she later changes her mind and offers to escort them to the Hilltop with Saddiq to accompany them.

• Rosita and Eugene go out to put an amplifier on a water tower in an effort to boost a radio signal to find more survivors.

• A herd gives chase after Eugene and Rosita. They hide and cover themselves in mud where they overhear what sounds like the walkers talking to each other, trying to find them.

Quotes

• Judith: You know the strangers we brought here yesterday? My mom's gonna make them leave.

Negan: Well, no, I didn't know, but let me guess. You being you, you wanna help 'em.

Judith: I found 'em. I brought 'em here.

Negan: Lemme tell you something. When I was about your age, I used to bring home stray dogs. My mom, she hated it. I never understood why. They always seemed so friendly and grateful. Till one day I brought home the wrong dog.

Judith: What happened? Did it bite you?

Negan: Not me. That dog killed all the other strays, chewed off half my mom's ear when she tried to stop it. The thing is - that dog seemed just as friendly and grateful as the rest of 'em.

Judith: And what about after that? You ever bring home another dog?

Negan: Well, hell no. I wised my ass up.

Judith: Yeah. And look how great everything turned out for you.

Negan: Wait a minute. Where you going? I thought you wanted my help.

Judith: I do, but just with math.

Negan: Why just math?

Judith: Because it doesn't matter if you're a good or bad person on the inside. The numbers don't care.
