I’m the weirdo who has always liked Eugene and I loved his conversation with Carol ❤️ I wasn’t surprised when it was revealed that it was Carol who released Negan with the commission of hunting down Alpha. Carol is the Mastermind, the one and only. NO ONE ELSE has such a strategic mind. She IS fk badass! All of Daryl and Negan’s interactions had me giggling. Negan might be the villain but he’s certainly intuitive and he caught on with Daryl and Carol’s status immediately! It’s so comedic how much he knows and how clearly he sees Carol being Daryl’s girlfriend 😂 Daryl and Carol might be clueless when it comes to their feelings, but not Negan. He sees them as clear as day, just like us. When he let Daryl in on the little secret, he was understandably upset and worried about Cookie and the possibility of her not coming back. And THIS IS THE EPISODE when we get to know what’s inside Carol’s head and what is it that she wants: Daryl. The thought of loosing Daryl gave her the drive, the will to live, to fight and get out of that horrible ambush that her mind constructed and his visible relief when she came back was palpable 😭😭😭 He opened that gate and my heart went to him when he smiled a little, he really restrained himself not to irritate her with questions or arguments… Not to toss himself at her and hug her… She looked so tired and covered with battle scars! 😭😭😭 I’m grateful for Lydia and the way that she saved both Daryl and Carol! We owe her sooooooo much!! 🥹I really thought that Carol was going to jump off that cliff together with the horde, and my entire neighborhood heard my screams and NOOOOOOOOO’s. My husband had to appease me and make me open my eyes to see Lydia grabbing her by the hand!!!!!!! Two hands offered to save her life, Daryl’s at the cave and Lydia’s at the cliff. And when they came back, Daryl letting her know that she still had him was EVERYTHING😭😭😭 Yes, I could see his disillusionment when he sensed her shift about running away to New Mexico 🥺🥺🥺 And when the series ended and she didn’t go with him I was so sour, even with the I love you’s that they exchanged! BUT NOW, HOPE IS RENEWED. WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE WITH THEM… New Mexico is STILL OUT THERE!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💯
