The Walking Dead season 9 episode 15 recap: The Calm Before

Luke and Alden try to settle a bet. Enid wants to hear her “crooner boyfriend croon” and Alden is happy to hear her say that. Luke is thrilled for the “adorable” couple but loves that Enid wants to hear him sing. He tells Alden to think about it.

Connie is happy to see Luke so excited. She sees Kelly’s frustration. Kelly is upset that she left without saying goodbye and every goodbye could be the last. Connie apologizes but couldn’t let the baby die. It brought back feelings for her that she hasn’t dealt with yet. They share a big hug.

Siddiq and Michonne walk along and she reveals that she’s leaving with the first group. She wants him to enjoy the fair and watch Judith, who is playing with Jerry and his kids. Siddiq welcomes the opportunity, hinting that he will need it. He chooses not to tell Michonne, telling her that he’ll share the news when they meet up at Hilltop.

Addie finds Henry and asks to talk with him. Lydia watches him. Addie apologizes for ratting him out at the clubhouse. The other boys come up and tell Lydia that Addie has a thing for Henry, and he has one for her, too. They tell Lydia they’re a tight community and they watch out for each other, which is in no way threatening toward her.

Tara tells her group that she wishes they could all travel together but they will meet up in a few days. Michonne says goodbye to Judith and Yumiko and Magna say goodbye to their group, telling Luke to break a leg. Connie sees Daryl with Dog and goes to tell him to be safe. He thanks her and asks if she will take care of Dog while he’s gone. She agrees.

Henry shakes Daryl’s hand and thanks him for watching over him. Ezekiel offers Daryl a place to stay at the Kingdom to make it his home. Daryl will think about it. Carol tells her husband to enjoy the fair. They kiss.

Daryl rides out ahead of the group. They’re in wagons and on horses. Carol turns back to wave at Henry and Ezekiel.
