The Walking Dead, What We Become: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
15) The fact that the first thing Michonne hallucinates would be Siddiq brings her somewhat full-circle, as the whole reason she decided to help Virgil in the first place (And wound up being stuck in a cell to hallucinate) is because of the ideal Siddiq introduced her (And the rest of the group) to.
16) Speaking of Siddiq, this is, thus far, his final appearance…even if he is just a hallucination.
17) Following Michonne’s hallucination, we see her “What if…?” flashback from the beginning of the episode in its entirety, with her eventually returning to Andrea’s corpse to take her knife and canteen.
18) The scene of the “…We tried for Stone Mountain” sign, and Rick and Carl’s car stuck in the mud is the second use of “archival” footage (For lack of a better term) in this episode.
19) The second “What if…?” flashback scenario has Michonne as the “orange backpack guy” seen in season three’s “Clear” (Since she obviously didn’t help Andrea, she wouldn’t have wound up in Woodbury), and Daryl takes the trip with Rick and Carl instead.
20) Evidently, even without Michonne going to Woodbury, Rick’s group still winds up in conflict with Woodbury, if he, Carl, and Daryl’s road trip (Wherein they got stuck in the mud and left Michonne behind) was for the same reason as it was in the regular universe.
21) The third “What if…?” scenario has Michonne, at some indeterminate time, wind up being taken in by Negan. How she managed to get to Virginia, we never find out.
