![]() Sasha’s like the solider who can’t adjust to life back home, so she signs up for tour after tour. She wants to work as a watchtower guard and asks for as many shifts as possible. Sasha is suffering from some serious walker PTSD a simple offer to fix her a meal leads to a total meltdown. Not good for town morale, and not a wise move for the new sheriff.)Īmid the awkward mixing and mingling, we see who’s trying to assimilate, and who’s not - namely Sasha, Noah, and Daryl. (Rick also gives Jessie a lingering kiss on the cheek, setting up a potential love triangle. Her youngest son gives Rick an A stamp on his hand, and Jessie says, “You’re officially one of us.” This place is feeling less like Woodbury II and more like a very well-fortified Scientology recruitment center. Pete snaps at Jessie when she offers to help him get drinks, suggesting two things - he’s not so nice, and he wants her to keep giving Rick the hard-sell pitch on life in Alexandria. He’s also oddly friendly, considering his standoffish exchange with Rick from his porch. She introduces Rick to her hubby, Pete - who is indeed the doctor Aaron referred to a while back. Jessie also does her best to make Rick feel at ease. He’s slim and professorial and lays it on thick with compliments for Rick. (Speaking of fashion, Carol is so apocalypse on-trend with her floral sweater and slacks.) We finally meet Deanna’s husband and the architect of the wall, Redge. It’s even weird to see the gang showered and dressed up in their finest cocktail-casual attire - Rick in a white button-down, the Sarge in a long-sleeve polo, Rosita in a sensible tank top/sweater combo. Carol made cookies, there’s plenty of beer, and lots of chitchat about recipes and books clubs and all the mundane stuff that disappeared when people started reanimating and eating flesh. That party - Deanna’s attempt to welcome the newcomers - is a strange affair. Two questions here: Why cut out Michonne, who’s been Rick’s consigliere on most important decisions lately (and is also now the Cash to his Tango)? And what’s up with the W carved into that zombie’s forehead? It seemed reminiscent of the A stamps that Jessie’s son was handing out at the house party. (They assume the Alexandria folks found that firearm, but smart money is still on Enid.) At this point, all three agree their new hosts can’t be trusted, but by the episode’s end, only Carol seems firmly committed to the cause. The trio decides to steal some guns and stash them in the house where Rick hid a pistol. Let’s begin with some intrigue, as Rick, Carol, and Daryl meet in secret to discuss a plan for when this all inevitably goes to shit. If not for Carol’s nightmarish threat, and the tragically short life of Buttons the horse, it was a relatively slow hour. Rick also seems to be wavering between his inherent distrust of anything that appears too good to be true and his desire to build a normal life for his kids. Dangerous as life is on the outside, it’s a hell of a lot more interesting than what’s happening within the walls of Alexandria, where even Daryl is starting to get comfortable. ![]() So what you should expect to see from Jessie, Pete, and Rick if The Walking Dead follows the comics? Here's everything you should know, and of course, spoilers from The Walking Dead comics below.By the end of this episode, I felt a lot like Sasha - all of the small talk and new faces made me want to scream. You probably assumed from his one-liner about Jessie being his wife that he’s a terrible human being, and you wouldn't be far off. There’s only one problem, and we actually met him in the last episode: Jessie's husband Pete. When Jessie went to Rick's house and gave him a haircut, you could almost instantly tell that something was happening between them. Apparently, I was not the only one who thought so. I had almost forgotten what Rick's face looks like under his beard ever since his facial hair went out of control, but last episode there was shaving and showers, and I remembered that Rick Grimes is actually super hot. While we don’t know too much about how the story will play out on TV, actress Alexandra Breckenridge did tell The Daily Beast that Jessie is attracted to Rick. If the show follows the comics, Jessie and Rick will have a romantic relationship (yay!). There's a whole new group of characters at The Walking Dead 's Alexandria Safe-Zone and some of them will be very important in the future - especially Jessie Anderson, the woman Rick met in last week's episode.
