Talked About Scene from The Walking Dead 813: Something New
Simon’s attack was just the beginning in The Walking Dead episode 813, as walker warfare leaves Rick and The Hilltop at a loss for words and cavalry.
Last night’s episode of The Walking Dead gave audiences something new to talk about: weapons tainted in walker guts.
Previously we saw how this twisted idea came to fruition when Eugene tried to coax Negan when the supply of bullets wasn’t enough. Every weapon The Saviors carried was soaked in walker guts and put to the test as Simon led the fierce attack on The Hilltop.
In the darkness, blood was spilled on both sides including Tobin, the Alexandrian who stood by Rick from the beginning and had a brief (one-sided) relationship with Carol. Siddiq was put to the test, aiding Tobin and the wounded as Maggie took charge sending the remaining Saviors retreating.
The small victory wasn’t enough for her or Rick with the (continuing) objective to kill Negan still unresolved. As the survivors slept, Tobin andCarol were reunited.
When we last saw them together, Carol had packed a small bag of supplies prepared to leave Alexandria. Though she liked Tobin as a person she wasn’t able to reciprocate the same feelings he had towards her.
Unfortunately, this encounter would be their last as later that night Tobin turned and the quiet evening became loud with screams and groans. Several more were killed and turned as Rick and group tried to comprehend what was happening.
Check out the video of the group discovering the truth in this week’s Talked About Scene from The Walking Dead as shared on the official YouTube channel of AMC:
It wasn’t until Carol had to kill Tobin that the truth presented itself. He wasn’t bitten and still turned.
Putting the clues together they discover the horrible truth. What does this mean for our group?
What does this mean for Tara and Rick specifically? During the battle, Daryl saw Simon and Dwight approaching Tara and within a second she was hit with Dwight’s arrow.

But while The Hilltop became a walker breeding ground she had yet to show any symptoms of being ill. Is her condition taking a little longer or was Dwight’s arrow clean?
Rick, on the other hand, had a wound that he neglected to treat. Even after Michonne and Siddiq brought it to his attention.
Siddiq might not be the best person to approach Rick as he is a current reminder to the leader that his son is gone. But being the only person with any medical experience (as another with that same skill set was killed) Rick may not have a choice.
But the group’s worries are not over yet for the imprisoned Saviors escaped. Where did they go?
Before the battle began Maggie tried to bargain them with Simon to no avail. Simon made it clear he wanted nothing to do with them.
Though Dwight warned Simon that if Negan were to return and find out what happened; things would not go well. Simon’s disregard for such danger either means he’s overly confident he will be forgiven or he’s oblivious to the consequences of what he had done.
