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

Luke and Alden discuss their song list. No up-tempo ballad to start, Luke says. Enid laughs and promises not to make too much fun of him later.

Henry finds Lydia on a bench. He can tell something is wrong.

The Woman in Green checks out the camp. She hears Tammy Rose and Earl talking about the baby and how they could name him Adam.

Henry is upset that Gage and Rodney would tell Lydia about Addie. He insists that he likes Lydia, and she smiles and says she feels the same. They kiss. She says that’s a good thing because then she’d feel bad about shoving goat poop in their faces. Henry hears the pipes acting up and asks her to save a seat for him at the movie.

The Lady in Green, aka Alpha, spots Eugene and Rosita with an antenna. Ezekiel walks up and introduces himself. She says she’s finding her way around just fine. She’s Deborah, from Hilltop, but he can call her Debbie. She asks if he can believe Michonne came, and he expresses that he can’t. He’s sad they don’t know each other already. She compliments the Kingdom and says she looks forward to meeting the Queen. She wants to go to the clothing section because winter is coming and it will be sweater weather soon. She thinks it’s going to be a hard winter. He offers her his arm.

The movie theater fills up and the lights go out. Judith is there in the front row with Nabila and Jerry. Lydia looks around. The seat beside her is empty. The audience laughs at the cartoon. Lydia laughs, too. The Lady in Green sits beside her, holding Lydia’s hand. She puts her finger to her lips to silence her.
