The Walking Dead S08E06 preview: ‘The King, the Widow, and Rick’
By Nir Regev
Will Rick Grimes lay with Jadis and do the right thing to unite the group with the Scavengers on tonight’s The Walking Dead?
They say ‘hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’. Well, what did Rick Grimes expect when he turned down Jadis’ generous offer to lay with him? It would have been one for the ages, no strings attached, but Michonne just had to get in the way of all the Scavenger action. Well Rick Grimes gets his second chance to make things right on tonight’s The Walking Dead.
Sure, he’ll come in marching tough with threats of destroying the traitorous Scavengers. Yet, why fight when another way is clearly available? It’s not just about Rick, it’s about the bigger picture of Alexandria and the communities. You heard Father Gabriel on the premiere episode, “It’s not about you”. The Kingdom is already down, they need the Scavengers and Daryl Dixon has gone rouge on Rick. It’s time to give love a chance, Michonne will look past this indiscretion in the name of peace…
Walking Dead: ‘The King, the Widow, and Rick’ Preview Trailer
Jadis and the Scavengers meet up with Rick Grimes tonight to talk business but Daryl has his own agenda. Daryl and and Tara are about revenge not the long-term [if ever] route of rehabilitating the Saviors. They’re opting to do to them what the Saviors would do if the tables were turned. Only the chain of command has been stifling their plans.

No more for Daryl, who fought Rick Grimes last week after telling him, “Things change”. Tara has clearly not been feeling Jesus’ methods recently, and a likely team-up with Daryl seems only natural.
Daryl’s plan to flood the Saviors and Sanctuary with more walkers to end this war is respectable though not without casualty. Rick sees potential in the workers the same way Negan does, and even worse the potential for vengeance from those who survive.
Walking Dead: ‘The King, the Widow, and Rick’ Sneak Peak
Michonne and Rosita will ride together on tonight’s episode. Though injured, Michonne has her curiosity to see if Rick’s okay get the best of her. Which incidentally leaves Carl out to defend Alexandria on his own with Rosita also leaving. Thus making Alexandria a major target to be captured if the Saviors were to regroup with that knowledge or any third-party for that matter…
