5 questions remaining after The Walking Dead 715: ‘Something They Need’
By Adam Carlson
#3. What will happen with Oceanside?
On Sunday, the people of Oceanside learned that Tara wasn’t dead. Not only that, but Rick, Alexandria, and even some of the people from The Hilltop arrived on the scenes to take all their guns away from them.
Using threats, intimidation, and the element of surprise, Rick wasn’t going to take ‘no’ for an answer. Even with a gun being held to Tara’s head, Rick stood firm that there would be no budging on the situation and Alexandria would be taking their guns.
Now, Oceanside has no defenses left. Walkers are likely being drawn to their location and possibly even The Saviors may have been alerted to their presence, putting the entire community in danger since they can’t fight back.
As for giving the guns back, that’s not possible. Tara outright lied since those weapons will be going to The Scavengers as part of their deal for soldiers in the war. Will Rick and the survivors regret what they’ve done to Natanya and Oceanside, or have they just left them all to die?
