The Walking Dead, Season 7

Episode 5, Go Getters

Summary:

Team Hill Top

Go Getters begins at Hilltop. Maggie still has the baby but the Hilltop Doctor wants Maggie to stay for the duration of the pregnancy to make sure everything goes okay. Maggie wants to see where Glen is – and Sasha takes her to the graves where Glenn & Abraham are buried.

Their quiet moment is interrupted when the Mayor of Hilltop finds them and wants Maggie and Sasha to leave – and right away. Obviously this creates a conflict because the doctor told Maggie she should stay close by in case there are any other complications. Jesus convinces Gregory (The Mayor) to let Maggie & Sasha spend the night. Jesus thinks he might be able to get Gregory to change his mind – and Sasha offers to scavenge for them to pay their way. We think they are safe but come nightfall someone opens the gates to Hilltop and set some fires before turning on the loud speakers, which happen to be inside an old car which is armored with steel fencing.

While Sasha and Jesus go Rambo on the walkers already inside the compound Maggie gets smart and uses a massive tractor to crush the speaker car.

The next morning the Saviors show up and are just a little bit mad.2016_twd_s7_e5_saviors

Negan’s men make it loud and clear that they are still in charge and Gregory licks their boots as best he can. He then tries to hand Maggie & Sasha over but Jesus tricked him by putting his best Scotch in the closet.

After Nega’s men leave we get to see a small show down between Gregory and Maggie. With a little bit of support from Jesus she ends up decking Gregory (over Hershell’s watch) and tells the Mayor they are staying – and he better learn her name.

Team Rick

Back at Alexandria Rick is planning a scavenging run. They need stuff to live as well as for their next tribute. Carl stays behind – mad that the Saviors have changed the lay of the land. After Rick leaves Carl finds Enid climbing the wall. 2016_twd_s7_e5_enidclimbingfenceHe doesn’t want her to leave – but she doesn’t care what he wants. She’s kicked some dirt into his face but he doesn’t care, he follows her in a car and shows up just in time to crush a few walkers for her.2016_twd_s7_e5_carlcardrive

Now that the car is wrecked Carl & Enid are forced to walk – at least until Carl finds some roller skates, which leads to them holding hands. By the time Carl & Enid get to the Hilltop Negan’s men are already there, taking half of what’s in Hilltop as punishment for working with Team Rick. Carl & Enid then have a heart to heart about his motivations which somehow leads to a kiss.

After Maggie has her confrontation with Gregory she goes back out to the gravesite only to find Enid there.

The last thing we see is Jesus jumping into the back of one of the Savior trucks so he can go find where Negan lives for Sasha but when he gets there he finds that Carl already snuck in ahead of him.

Things I loved about this episode…

  • Maggie using the big tractor to crush the speaker car.
  • Carl telling Enid she’ll be seen if she tries to sneak into Hilltop while the Saviors are there. “No they won’t.” she says over her shoulder as she walks away.
  • Maggie telling Enid about how she crushed a car with a tractor when she was in highschool.

Things that I didn’t like about this episode…

  • Enid holding hands with Carl after they find the roller skates. Shouldn’t she be playing a little bit hard to get still?

Firsts…

  • Enid & Carl kiss.
