Peacetime is never really peaceful, though, is it?

Almost like zombies have become more of a pest-control issue than an existential threat.

Whats more troubling than the undead is a rise in extremist groups.

Well, duh Maggie, of course.

Theres a nice bookend of moments in this episode as Maggie mentors two potential leaders of tomorrow.

(Later on, shell do the same with Kelly, minus the chapeaus.)

But those good vibes are shattered when Mags lays her eyes on Negan for the first time.

Maggies rude homecoming continues at Hilltop, which is in shambles.

Hoodie Ninja also has an actual name, and that name is Elijah.

I was also enjoying the big Snake Eyes from G.I.

Joe energy he was giving off.

and the twins (remember those two??).

(Those years with Georgie are definitely not on her LinkedIn profile.)

That includes the Reapers, who are responsible for chasing her people from their last home.

Its the Reapers again, or apparently one lone Reaper with a knack for mayhem.

This leaves us with major questions.

Who is this Pope?

Why did he mark Maggie?

How did they all survive that blast given how close they were to the Reaper?

Theres also the matter of how Negan will survive Hurricane Maggie, which blows into A-town with force.

Earlier, Carol says odds are against Maggie ever coming around on Negan.

Thats a bet I wouldnt take.
