With things looking up for Rick and the group, an argument breaks out at the Hilltop, where the consequences of the decision are life versus death.
"The King, the Widow and Rick" is another episode with potential destroyed by the writers. The former balanced and rational leader Rick is turned into an unbalanced man, capable to visit alone a woman that betrayed and shot him to ask for the support of the Garbage People in the war against Negan. But didn't he say that they were winning the war and The Saviors are trapped by a herd of walkers? Why would he need the support of this nasty treacherous people? The leader Ezequiel now is a talkative depressed man with an annoying speech and no attitude. Maggie was a character kept safe until this episode where she builds cages to imprison The Saviors including that tall and scornful long- haired Savior that should have been executed a long time ago. Jesus feeding The Saviors using Hilltop supplies is also ridiculous and hard to understand. The only good part is Gregory staying with the other prisoners. Michonne kicking the tennis ball and Rosita dropping her gun in a crucial moment are awful clichés and Daryl hitting the car with sound boxes with a truck does not have any explanation since he was behind a building with Tara with no view to what was happening to Michonne and Rosita. Carl risking his life to destroy walkers with his new acquaintance is also inexplicable. At least the unreasonable shooting has ended. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "The King, the Widow and Rick"
