The Walking Dead, Warning Signs: Things To Note

7) Just before Rick arrives to break up the fighting at the construction site, one of the ex-Saviors suggests that Jadis (Whom he refers to “Garbage Lady”) killed Justin as revenge for “Simon’s play”, a.k.a., his slaughtering of the Scavengers in the Season Eight episode, “The Lost And The Plunderers”.

8) After Rick and Daryl discuss Justin’s murder, Rick tries to convince Daryl to give the ex-Saviors a chance by referencing his decision not to kill Rick for leaving Merle behind to die, a pair of events that occurred all the way back in the very third and second episodes of the series, “Tell It To The Frogs” and “Guts”, respectively.

9) While the pair searches the countryside for walkers, Cyndie tells Maggie that her family and her group lived in the area near the construction site, before her group retreated to Oceanside. That is some nice, subtle foreshadowing to this episode’s climax.

10) As Cyndie and Maggie approach the abandoned cabin (Which lured the walkers away from Justin’s corpse at the beginning of the episode), they find a charred body in the cab of a not so charred truck. How did the body get burned…but, not the truck?

12) Upon further inspection, between the old truck (Next to a random gas pump), the charred body inside, being boarded up, and surrounded by walkers, the old cabin seems like an intentional nod to The Night Of The Living Dead, which featured all of this these things.

13) Speaking of the old cabin…who boarded it up? The door was barred from the outside, but, there are, at least, nine walkers inside! How could someone have the time to properly board up the front door with that many walkers inside?! Wouldn’t they have just pushed through the moment they heard the first board being nailed in?
