This article contains spoilers for The Ones Who Live episode 2, "Gone."
When Warrant Officer Jadis Stokes was introduced inThe Walking Dead: World Beyond spinoff fans were certain more information regarding Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) would be revealed. Sadly, he was never mentioned by name but viewers knew when Jadis stated "I gave the CRM something very valuable," she was refering to Rick.
Episode 1, "Years," of The Ones Who Live, reveals that by Jadis giving Rick the B designation, she saved his life, as A's are killed or used as test subjects. But is that enough to redeem her for all of the wrongdoings? For years, she traded people like Heath (Corey Hawkins) in exchange for supplies from the CRM and, on Beale's orders, orchestrated mass killings.
Jadis - The Ones Who Live
Jadis first appeared in The Ones Who Live during the final scene of episode 2. After viewing Michonne's entrance interview, where she uses the name Dana, Jadis visits Rick to confront him about Michonne, which "...doesn’t fall under our long-standing deal." She then tells him, “Let's continue to keep certain things between you and me, as we have," which likely means she's never revealed the complete details about their history to the CRM.
Finding out about Michonne gives Jadis the upper hand. She knows all the details of Alexandria and Hilltop, which she could use to her advantage within the CRM.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live airs new episodes weekly on Sundays on AMC and AMC+ through March 31, when the finale airs.
