Concern the Strolling Useless continued to boost the present’s Season 7 physique depend with Sunday’s episode — and shortly, too. Guess we’ve gotta make room for Kim Dickens’ return as Madison in some way, eh?
As “Sonny Boy” started, Strand threw one “traitor” after one other over the facet of his much-ballyhooed Tower. However that was only a precursor to what was to return as extras quickly had been swapped out for sequence regulars.
After Victor’s right-hand man Howard was discovered to have a walkie-talkie in his room — an enormous no-no to his paranoid boss — Strand tasked each him and John Sr. with discovering the immediately lacking child Mo. As a result of that made sense, positive. Anyway, if Howard didn’t retrieve the tot earlier than dawn, it was off the roof for him!
Shortly, John Sr. came across June with the infant in a soon-flooded tunnel that had extra walkers in it than exits. She’d must name her companion in mutiny for assist, he advised her. So reluctantly, she phoned Grace… simply as Howard caught the duo baby-handed. Not that Strand noticed it that method. In his estimation, John Sr. had recovered Mo, not Howard. So he challenged John Sr. to show his loyalty by sending Howard plummeting off the roof.
At that, John Sr. confessed that he’d planted the walkie-talkie in Howard’s room. Cool, mentioned Strand, in essence. Ship him over the sting, anyway, or he’d deliver up June or Grace to take a flying leap. Confronted with that inconceivable proposition, John Sr. despatched Howard hurtling towards his doom, then dove right into a bottle of booze himself.
Later, Victor remanded Mo to his sole custody and charged John Sr. with preserving anybody from taking the infant. In response, John Sr. knocked out the megalomaniac and delivered the tyke safely to Morgan outdoors the Tower by way of a cockamamie scheme that concerned Howard’s go well with of armor and sufficient time to say lengthy goodbyes however not sufficient to smear oneself with walker goop. Mmkay.
As Morgan stalked away together with his namesake, John Sr., who already had radiation poisoning a la Charlie and had been newly bitten by a walker, stayed behind to get devoured by the undead. (I do know he was making an attempt to purchase Morgan a while to get away, however rattling. Should you had been Morgan, wouldn’t you will have a minimum of tried to recommend your pal allow you to put him down much less painfully?) Lastly, over the ever-present walkie-talkies, Strand warned that if Morgan attacked the Tower, he would retaliate — he did, in spite of everything, nonetheless have beneath his roof Grace and June, to not point out Wes as an obvious successor to Howard.
So yeah, all that occurred. What’s your tackle “Sonny Boy” and its casualties? Who will even be left at season’s finish?
