Once Rick discovered that Pete was beating his wife, Jessie, Rick wanted justice to be served. Although Rick may have ulterior motives because he seems to be attracted to Jessie, he played the role of law enforcer by first trying to speak to Alexandria leader, Deanna about the situation. Deanna dismissed Rick’s request of death or exile for Pete. Rick decided to ask Jessie if she wanted help, but she declined his offer- momentarily. Rick came back and told Jessie that her son, Sam, asked for a gun to protect her, which was Jessie’s tipping point.
Pete entered the living room to find Rick and Jessie just after their conversation. Jessie told Pete it was time to leave and as you would imagine he didn’t take it well. Rick tried to escort Pete out of the house hands free, but Pete would not cooperate and took a swing a Rick. Chaos ensued in the living room as the two wrestled and went blow for blow before flying out the window and pouring into the street, startling the sheltered community.
You can watch the tail-end of the fight and the start of Rick’s crazy-eyed demands to Deanna and the rest of Alexandria in this week’s “Talked About Scene,” show below:
