The Walking Dead has reached that point in the season when it has to start setting up the new story arc that will come to a close during the first half of the sixth season. In Remember Rick and the group have had their time to process the events of Terminus, the hospital, and being out on the road so now the plot can start to move on and story can be told.
The story for the last five episodes of season five looks like it will be the crew getting used to life in a new community that is safe. Unlike Woodberry and Terminus this new community is run by a woman, Deanna Monroe, an ex-Congresswoman. She welcomes the group by giving them two homes that they can stay in while exploring and figuring out where they fit, in this community. Deanna also interviews each member of the group, we see through a series of cut aways, in order to feel them out and determine what job she should assign everyone. During these interviews Deanna reveals this was a planned community that was built for rich people that was also intended to be self sustaining.
Deanna had hard time finding a job for Rick and Michonne but knew exactly what Noah ,Tera, and Glenn should do do. She assigned them to do supply runs with her son, Aiden, who runs the supply run crew. On their first supply run Aiden proved to be a bad leader as Tera was killed because Aiden would rather play with walkers than kill them. There is a fight back at the community between Glenn and Aiden because of this and the group's mistrust of their current situation is revealed.
This mistrust is reinforced by a discussion between Carol, Daryl, and Rick after Rick accepts the Constable job Deanna assigns him. They speak about how the people in there new home are weak and they fear they may become weak tas well. Rick then explains they won't becuase if the others are weak then his group will take over the community.
I'm not sure where the creators are going with Rick but it appears they are trying to turn him into a villain. I Hope this is isn't true because as the comic readers know the biggest villain is on his way. I only hope he rears his ugly head before the end of the season.
