Rick got emotional about Michonne in The Walking Dead season 7 finale
Rick finding Michonne alive during the gut wrenching battle in Alexandria during the season 7 finale of The Walking Dead is filled with passion and relief.
As the war against Negan and The Scavengers ensues during the season 7 finale of The Walking Dead, it is quickly realized that Rick is unable to provide aid to Michonne. He could only watch in horror from a distance as she battled for her life. It is never easy watching a strong a person being beat to a pulp, but add in that you have feelings (possibly love) and it becomes a heartache.
Jadis and The Scavengers betrayal is an unexpected surprise to Rick and the group with dire consequences for everyone. Michonne, a stealthy warrior who has battled the evils of the apocalypse since the end of season 2, is attacked viciously by a member of The Scavengers. The assumption that she will immediately take this danger out is numbed as she is beaten over and over.
Rick and Carl facing their own demise with an unapologetic bat welding Negan with no intentions of sparing Carl’s life this time around. Rick maintains his stance not returning to his defeated persona as witnessed in the beginning of the season.
