The episode ends with the reveal that Carol did manage to shoot a real Whisperer, who we see turning. She’s gobbling the pills right in front of you, guys, c’mon.Įventually Carol almost get eaten by zombies, having been caught by a snare placed in the middle of a basketball court – a ridiculous trap that sadly is not a hallucination. Either way, Daryl and Michonne are far too nonchalant about Carol’s behavior. The less charitable explanation is that the distance really did help Carol, and her friends are being huge jerkweeds by insisting she stick around. The charitable explanation is that Carol was lying to herself about how she had moved past Henry’s death and this spiral would have happened sooner or later. At one point, Daryl wonders if Carol wouldn’t have been better off on the boat and Michonne immediately counters that Carol belongs with them. Unfortunately, Carol’s dear friends Daryl and Michonne basically kick back and watch her unravel, even after she nearly sinks things with Alpha and starts imagining Whisperers in the woods.

Once it’s established that this is a “nothing is what it seems” episode, the constant do-overs as Carol starts awake each time get tedious. She nearly dooms everyone by shooting at Alpha during their meeting, and her drug abuse leads her to start having lengthy, realistic hallucinations, which prove to be neither scary nor disorienting. She starts popping (presumably long-expired) pills like they’re Mentos and her behavior turns excessively erratic over the course of this episode. The main story this week concerns Carol, who responds to seeing Alpha again by going completely off the rails.
