This episode saw Morgan go back home to deal with his son who he had left to walk around as a walker ever since his death. It was really cool to go back to the very begging and see where this universe all began. However you can tell it’s not filmed in the same place as the original pilot as the surroundings area didn’t look exactly the same.
Lennie James showed why he has become a staple of The Walking Dead Universe as he gave an emotional heartbreaking perforce this episode. We finally get to see Morgan come to terms with having to shoot his wife as everyone he goes to shoot a walker he sees his wife but finally does what needed to be done to protect his new family. It was honestly so heartbreaking to see him have to kill walker Dwayne to save Mo but he finally was able to move in from something that has been holding onto him since the begging of the outbreak.
Part of me wanted this episodes to be a Morgan standalone so we could see him deal with his past without any interruptions, but I understand the addition of Mo and Grace as it showed he still has a family even if he has lost his old one.
I did feel that Sherry and Dwight were out of place this episodes as they were only really there for the ending to help Morgan find June next episode. They just felt like they were in the way and took time away from the amazing work Lennie James was doing.
I also wish the show was more definitive with the cure June has come up with, as Finch seems to be back to normal, indicating that this does work. However we are yet to see the long term consequences of this, which would be another good reason to bring Alicia back for the end.
The episode ended with Grace getting bit and Morgan on a mission to save her by getting her to June. However I have a feeling this won’t work out as we know Grace is already dying from the radiation she has been exposed to, so it looks like Grace may not survive much longer.
Overall even though this season hasn’t been perfect it is much more fast paced then previous seasons and overall am enjoying where it is going, especially when it comes to Morgan and Madison.
