6) In some nice continuity, as Dianne and Jerry inform Ezekiel and Carol about The Highwaymen, they discuss Jed’s group of ex-Saviors (Whom Carol rejects out of hand, already knowing their fate) and how something must have happened to them to allow this new enemy to move into the area, revealing Carol’s earlier actions (In the timejump episode “Who Are You Now?”) have now had unintended consequences.
7) On a side note: Why didn’t Carol say why it couldn’t be Jed’s group doing the robberies?
8) This episode gets its name from Connie’s strategic reasoning for selecting the apartment building to hide out in from The Whisperers (As she explains in a note to Daryl): “Chokepoint”.
9) As Dianne spies on the Highwaymen’s base, we see a familiar symbol: The red line-over-angle symbol we noticed painted on the back of a sign as Carol and Ezekiel left the theater in “Bounty”.
10) Is Carol suggesting negotiating with The Highwaymen to make up for not giving Jed and his group the same option?
