When Rick smiles you can bet something big is going to go down!
With the return of The Walking Dead this evening it became abundantly clear that the season seven finale is going to be nothing short of epic.
Tonight's episode began with Gabriel looting Alexandria's supplies and disappearing into the night while Rick and company were seeking support from The Hilltop in preparation for their showdown with Negan and the saviors.
Not surprisingly Gregory would have nothing to do with supporting Alexandria and suggested they use the back door on their way out so as not to be seen. Rick would gain a few supporters from The Hilltop but not nearly enough to win in whats sure to be a numbers game.
Jesus would then take Rick and his group to The Kingdom in the hopes of gaining support from King Ezekiel. Rick would come face to face with Morgan, and once hearing of Glenn and Abraham's deaths Morgan would suggest finding an alternative non-violent course of action to Ezekiel. Fearing for the lives of his people the good king would deny Rick armed support but Daryl would be granted asylum from Negan within The Kingdoms walls.
All was not lost however because on their return trip to Alexandria, the group would acquire some much needed firepower in the form of explosives - the saviors shouldn't just leave their stuff lying around! They would then return to Alexandria in time for a visit from the saviors who were sent to eliminate Daryl - Negan seems a little upset over fat Joey's death.
Once they were satisfied that Daryl hadn't returned to Alexandria they would leave and Rick would learn of Gabriel's unusual departure. Rick would search Gabriel's home and would find evidence pointing him in the direction of the houseboat that he and Aaron had scavenged a short time ago for Negan.
Once again Rick and group would set out on the road in search of Gabriel and as the final seconds of the mid-season premiere ticked away we would see something rare from the leader of Alexandria, a smile!
In an episode were Alexandria would be rejected time and again it took being surrounded by a mass group with guns to really set things in motion, I think it's safe to say that Rick has found his army.
