Episode 8×01 aired on October 22, 2017, celebrating 100 episodes of The Walking Dead with several tributes to iconic moments throughout the series. On top of all of that, Rick Grimes finally brought the fight to Negan and the Saviors and launched the All Out War story arc.
Episode 8×02, The Damned, saw Rick’s plan carried out as several off-Sanctuary Savior locations were attacked. Capping the episode was the shocking return of Morales.
Episode 8×03, Monsters, made quick work of Morales as Daryl barged in to put an arrow in his head before Rick’s eyes. It was a moment of self-reflection for Rick Grimes, where he realized his group was becoming what they’re fighting. It also saw the brilliant performance from Ross Marquand when his character’s boyfriend Eric became a walker.
Episode 8×04, Some Guy, followed Eric’s death with the more-devastating loss of Shiva the tiger. Leading to the death was Carol returning to form by taking out dozens of Saviors.
Episode 8×05, The Big Scary U, followed up on Negan and Gabriel’s entrapment in a trailer outside of the Sanctuary. Before the walkers burst in and the survivors ultimately made it back to the Sanctuary, Negan would open up a bit and reveal his pre-apocalyptic marriage to Gabriel.
Episode 8×06, The King, the Widow, and Rick followed each of the major groups. The synopsis read, “With things looking up for Rick and the group, an argument breaks out at the Hilltop; the consequences of the decision are life versus death.” It also saw a helicopter flying over Rick Grimes after his feud with Daryl!
Episode 8×07, Time for After, saw Rick Grimes carrying out a plan at the trash heap which turned Jadis’ group into allies. They head out for the Sanctuary but Daryl’s plan had backfired and freed them all.
Episode 8×08, How It’s Gotta Be, saw Negan bringing his attack back to the Sanctuary in retaliation of Rick’s. The most devastating blow, however, wasn’t Rick and Negan coming face to face with no one dying. Instead, it was Carl revealing himself to have a bite mark in its final moments.
The Walking Dead returns for the second half of its eighth season on February 25, 2018. For complete coverage and insider info all year long, follow @BrandonDavisBD on Twitter.
