The Walking Dead Recap With Spoilers: Season 10 Finale

The episode begins with Princess chirping at Yumiko, Ezekiel, and Eugene. She has not seen people in more than a year and she is not happy that they seem mean. Ezekiel is much more open to talking with her, starting with a compliment of her walker displays. Yumiko is looking around for potential other enemies. Princess starts to think she is hallucinating but ultimately reveals her name as Juanita Sanchez but she goes by Princess, not Queen, because Queen would make her sound old and pretentious. Ezekiel sees the irony here as he was going by King until recently. Princess is eager to show them around but Yumiko is reluctant to join. She shows her worth by gunning down some walkers but it causes the horses to run off.

The Walking Dead‘s opening credits play.

Later, the trio debate their best course of action. The guidance of Princess is the best option from Eugene and Ezekiel’s perspectives.

Princess leads the group to Fleetwood Drive, which means they have gone in a big circle. She explains that she just wanted to keep having fun with them and show off the garage.

She explains that Beta has “lost it after what you did to him” and she couldn’t stay there anymore. Judith is looking on as Daryl kills this Whisperer by putting an arrow in her head. “You didn’t have to do that,” Judith says. Daryl says she didn’t have any information and was going to die anyway so it’s better to do it quick. Judith suggests she might have a family and they shouldn’t leave her but Daryl is eager to get  to to the top of the tower.

In the woods, Judith tells Daryl she is upset that they left the Whisperer woman behind. She wants to be together in Alexandria again. She reveals that Michonne might not be coming home after she  went to help some people. She didn’t want to tell him because she was afraid he would leave to. He can’t promise he will stay because he can never lie to her and he doesn’t know what’s going to happen. He promises her that she has “a whole lot of family” and people who are going to rely on her one day. 

At the end of the episode, Beta walks the horde of Whisperers to the front door of a hospital.
