Father Gabriel?!
What is Father Gabriel up to?
IS the misterious guy watching father Gabriel?? #TheWalkingDead #THEWALKINGDEAD #TWD
— Alicia Sandoval (@Alicia_maria097) February 13, 2017
Everyone is quick to accuse the guy of being up to no good. He left his Bible behind!
Father Gabriel?! Don’t make me start hating you again. #TheWalkingDead
— Kevin LaF (@Kevin_LaF) February 13, 2017
Why is everyone so mad, though? Some people don’t want to see him go.
#TheWalkingDead #TalkingDead father Gabriel planning on running away? Or maybe making a peace offering? Tsk tsk tsk

It’s clear that some fans are definitely not into Gregory.

What’s The Deal With Carol?
We know Carol is around, but she’s not taking part in any of these meetings, and she just wants to be left alone. The only problem is, both Daryl and Ezekiel would love to see her.
So do the fans.
daryl just wants to see carol again #TheWalkingDead

Where’s Eugene?
Everyone knows that Eugene went back to Sanctuary with Negan, but fans are getting seriously worried about the guy’s well-being.

Zombie Destruction on The Road
In one of the most epic scenes of the season, Rick and the gang tore apart some walkers on the road.
Seriously, zombie kill of the decade.
JESUS CHRIST THAT WAS A LOT OF WALKER KILLS. #Richonne #TheWalkingDead @WalkingDead_AMC @AMCTalkingDead
— Fred Vargas (@Fredvargas8) February 13, 2017

Richonne
People are really getting on board with Rick and Michonne’s relationship, and tonight proved even more that the two belong together.
That scene in tonight’s episode was definitely couples goals ? #TheWalkingDead #TWD

New Friends
The episode ended with Rick being led – mostly likely by Gabriel – to a new group of survivors. They might have surrounded Rick, but he seems happy with what he found.

— Roxane ? (@fcroxelona) February 13, 2017
Okay, this isn’t good at all. #TheWalkingDead
