It’s about time! Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead found our favorite leaders getting their flirt on, looking for thangs, hooking up and doing what they do best - killing walkers. 

This episode was wonderful in so many ways. After some really emotional moments, seeing Rick and Michonne flirting, kissing and laughing put a smile on my face (though that sentence makes me sound like a pervert - I promise I am not). It reminds us that the show is more than just zombies. It’s about relationships and how the living interact with each other AND the dead. 

Michonne has been such a strength to our group. An equal partner to Rick, the voice of reason, a natural protector of her loved ones and a positive role model for the group.  Michonne is our Queen Bee. From the moment we met her, she stood fierce with two walker pets and she never once backed down. Like the others, she was deeply affected by the deaths of their group but she somehow always kept it together. More than that, she was ready to fight Negan and take back their lives. 

What this episode did so beautifully was showcase the OTHER side of her. We’ve seen glimpses of her vulnerability- when she left the prison by herself and was tracking Rick and Carl and when her BFF Andrea took her own life - when she thought Rick was dead, she said so much without saying anything. 

Rick tried to address it with his speech at the end. “You’ll be okay. This isn’t about us anymore. It’s about the future. Building a future for Judith and Maggie and Glenn’s baby.” Rick worries about the future. He can’t sleep. He thinks about it all of the time when they’re not flirting, doing it or killing walkers. Art this point, if anything happens to Rick, I think knowing that Carl, Michonne, Daryl, and Maggie are there to help take care of the little ones makes it easier for him to let go. 

Overall, I loved this episode. The other part that I loved were the unique walker kills. My favorite was the soldier stuck in the car. I am not ashamed to say that I rewound that entire scene. His foot being ripped off, then his bottom half...LOL. Awesome. 

(Sidenote: As cool as those carnival walkers were, my all-time favorite walker is still the well walker from season two. He’s like a grown up chubby monster version of the Pillsbury Dough Boy).
