 * Outside the walls of Alexandria,Carl and Michonne are clearing the perimiter of Walkers.Michonne is worried as there appears to be to many of them,Carls replies that its a pice of cake and he can handle it.Michonne asks him to go inside but he is defiant that they are fine plus he doesnt want to leave Michonne out there.Suddenly,a walker comes at Carl from his right hand side and they both fall to the floor.He shoots it in the head but another comes at him and before it can bite him,Michonne slices its head in two,saving him.They make there way back inside the gate.Carl explains that he didnt see the walker as it was his blind spot caused by his head wound,he says he feels worthless now.Michonne tells him to stop thinking like that as his Dad only has one hand and manages just fine,he should deal with his limitations and he will get used to it as he is strong.They agree to keep the incident between them and go to kill walkers through the gate with knives..
 * On the outskirts of central Washington DC,Jesus and Rick discuss Ezekial.Jesus explains that he is part of the network along with Hilltop and The Saviours but Ezekials strnghold,known as "The Kingdom" is the biggest they know of outside of Hilltop.Two horseback riders apprach clad in riot gear and clutching swords.They recognise Jesus and he tells them him and Rick request an audience with "King" Ezekial.The one rider responds that Ezekial would be thrilled to see him.Rick questions the King title but Jesus tells him to just go with it and also to never enter Kingdom without an escort.
 * They approach Kingdom-it appears to be a huge elementary or high school surrounded by a wall of school buses and steel/wooden makeshift walls.A tattered American Flag  blows in the wind high above the yard.They leave the van and enter-inside the grounds are full of tents.Jesus explains to Rick that the residents live inside the school building  during winter but live outside in the warmer months.They are told to wait but then a voice cries out "Jesus,my friend!"
 * Coming down the building steps is Ezekial,clutching his staff in one hand and his huge tiger,Shiva's,chain in the other.He is smiling.Ezekial says he is pleased to see him and asks what good news he brings and if Rick is a new ally?Jesus replies indeed to both and turns to Rick and says "Oh I think I forgot to mention...Ezekial has a tiger".
 * Back at Alexandria,Andrea and Michonne are i the kitchen having lunch.Andrea explains how she never wants to take for granted things like having dinner together in a safe enviroment after all they have been through.Michone tells Andrea that this isnt her and that she feels like she cant talk to people anymore.She has no social graces.This isnt who she used to be,she used to be talkative and friendly.Even fun.She doesnt think she can ever go back to that.
 * At the Alexandria Church,Spencer asks Gabriel if he may use the altar to pray.He gets on his knees and prays to god,saying he has endured much pain in his life and doesnt ask for much,but wants the strength to do what he knows must be done....
 * Inside the Kingdoms school theatre,Ezekial is seated on his throne with Shiva laying at his side.He explains how he feels Gregory of Hilltop is a coward who hides in a mansion when he has a possible army at his disposal.He tell Rick he has never been accepting of Negans truce but only crowned himself King of Kingdom in order to make the lives of his people as good as they can be.He wishes to be rid of Negan and the Saviours as he hates them with a passion and that Carls information of their stronghold provides him with more than enough intel to launch an assault.  <span style="font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif"><span style="background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247)">
 * Dwight emerges from the side of the stage.He understands he is the last person Rick wants to see right now but he has had a change of heart and wants to assure them he has never fully given Negan his support.Rick is furious,telling Ezekial not to believe his lies and that he has seen him carry out Negans orders,killing men on his behalf and acting as his lieutenant.Dwight assures Rick there was no way he knew him and Jesus would be at Kingdom,he didnt even think Rick knew about the place and was under Negans spell like everyone else.Dwight tells Rick he is here to help them make a move against Negan and he only came because he knew Ezekial was the only person who had the balls to do it.He can tell them everything to make the groups plan possible.
 * Rick pleads with Ezekial,telling him that its possible Negan has set them up for a trap and that he must have known Rick would try something after handing Carl back.He doesnt think Dwight should be aloud to live and put peoples lives in jeopardy.Dwight tells Rick that Negan has his wife and that he had to carry out Negans orders or she would be hurt.Rick has no idea what Dwight risked just by coming here-what Negans capable of and that Rick thinks he has more to lose than him? Rick punches Dwight in the face and calls him a liar...
 * Shiva gets up and bares her teeth,growling.Ezekial bangs his staff on the floor and she setlles down again.He apologises but explains Shiva abores vilence and so does he. Dwight asks Rick if Carl told him about Negans wives,in particular one with dark hair and described as "the nice" one.Well that is his wife Sherry,she was Negans first "wife".  <span style="font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif"><span style="background-color: rgb(247, 247, 247)">
 * Dwight says he will tell the group Negans secrets,his weaknesses and he will bring them that assholes head on a silver platter.It wont matter then if they trust him or not then as Negan will be dead and the nightmare will be over. Ezekial smiles while Rick and Jesus look at eachother
