Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
As we lurch toward a Season 7 finale that will presumedly contain a ton of blood and chaos, certain elements need to fall into place. It's all a bunch of side quests at this point as Rick needs to find guns (and then find more guns) and recruit the women hiding on that island while both Ezekiel and Carol need to both choose to join the war. It's a rather non-intricate, laborious system of pulleys and levers right now - the biggest sin being that it all leaves very little room for true surprises. It's as if we can see the story all laid out before it happens.
