About midway through this episode, Magna and Kelly talk about horses and gaining their trust.
But sometimes, as the old theme song goes, a horse is just a horse.
And despite a few tender moments amidst the tense ones, theres a certainTWD-by-numbers quality to this chapter.
Theres a death, but its Cole from Maggies posse.
If I showed you Coles headshot, could you name him without multiple-choice options?
It means a lot to Mags, but for us, these are low-stake exits.

Negan has to drag her away from trying to prevent the already-doomed Agatha from becoming a main course.

But I fear the road to redemption and forgiveness is going to be about 20 more episodes long.

Alden, for one, is unlikely to see his adopted son, Whisperer-baby Adam.
