#3. What will Rick’s reaction be to learning about Oceanside?
At the end of last week’s episode, Tara had made the decision to break her promise to Oceanside and reveal the location of the community as well as their surplus of weapons to Rick Grimes, as Alexandria got desperate.
It seemed like it didn’t take Rick long to understand what needed to be done. He rallied with others from his community as well as Jesus, Daryl, and Enid to pay a visit to Oceanside and get their weapons and hopefully recruit some soldiers to the war.
But Alexandria entered the situation prepared. Using explosions, a sniper, and the element of surprise, Tara, Rick, Michonne, and others intimidated the people of Oceanside into giving up their arms, even when their leader Natanya was holding Tara hostage.
In the end, Alexandria took every single weapon that Oceanside had. They left the community exposed and defenseless, but now will be able to complete their deal with The Scavengers for soldiers in the war.
