On this episode of the FHP, Hanako and Kacey discuss episode three of the current season of The Walking Dead. The ambush by the Reapers (which Kacey and I erroneously keep referring to as Ravagers in the show – blame Marvel’s What If…?) leaves Maggie and her group scattered. After escaping to an abandoned mall, she is forced to work with Negan as Reapers leave some of her reunited group gravely injured. Back at Alexandria, Aaron and Carol disagree about what missions need to take priority for everyone’s safety. Magna, Carol, Kelly, and Rosita bond while searching for the community’s missing horses. Judith, RJ, Herschel, and Gracie reflect on their parents and their own experiences. Gabriel comes to a life-changing decision as he confronts one of the Reapers. Maggie and Negan are forced to leave Alden behind as they move forward with their mission to overtake Meridian.
