#4. Can Rick enlist The Scavengers?
For some reason, Rick felt the need to put himself in danger in order to convince Jadis and The Scavengers to join the efforts of Alexandria, The Hilltop, and The Kingdom to defeat Negan and The Saviors.
His complicated plan involved taking photos of their side winning battles against The Saviors and leaving The Sanctuary surrounded by walkers. This plan failed in a big way, and Rick found himself stripped and locked in a storage container.
It took defeating two members of The Scavengers with another armored walker to put Rick in the position to get one-on-one with Jadis. With her on the ground and Rick showing mercy, she finally agreed to the terms of Rick’s deal.
This means they won’t be part of the efforts against them, but they still can’t be trusted to stab them in the back or back out of the war at any time. But since Rick went through so much trouble to get their help, he must have a big plan when it comes to Jadis and The Scavengers.
