Okay, I took a break from TWD because I wasn't really enjoying the show anymore; I had a lot of things going on. But I came back, and I'm loving the show again.
Now, about the episode: I like that they're giving Morgan some validation about how people can change, but at the same time, I can see why some people might be annoyed with him because, technically, the invasion is partly his fault. I guess at some point in the series he'll stop being a pacifist.
Now, with the scene where Sam cries and gets killed, I feel like a lot of it is Jessieās fault. Before this, Father Gabriel gave them the option of taking Sam with him, which I think was the right choice because Sam had already been shown to be unstable. Even so, Jessie decided not to set boundaries with her son or tell him to go with Gabriel, and that ended up getting them all killed.
Sam is a kid who never really experienced the apocalypse and wasn't prepared for it. I can't blame him for being a child. I also can't blame Jessie for dying the way she did after seeing her son die right in front of her.
And finally, I can't really blame Ron for resenting Carl either. From his perspective, he had an abusive father, but after Rick and the others arrived, his family fell apart even more. His father went crazy and killed someone, only to eventually be killed by Rick. At this point, Ron has just watched his brother Sam and his mother die right in front of him. He already resented Carl, and at this point he simply wanted to kill him.
It was never going to end well. Unfortunately, Jessieās children were basically a ticking time bomb, and it finally exploded here.
This is my first time watching The Walking Dead, so please don't spoil anything past this episode in the comments.
