Originally intending to double cross whoever is on the helicopter, she tells them she’s not planning anything anymore and that she’s just asking to save a friend. It’s then that she spots a barely alive Rick on the banks of the river and calls the helicopter to tell them she’s got a ‘B’. Jadis, who has been parked nearby for most of the episode waiting to be picked up by the helicopter, sees the smoke and watches as the river she’s stood by fills with body parts. A huge explosion erupts as the bridge, Walkers, and Rick go out in a blaze of glory and are washed away down the river. With almost all the Walkers on the bridge now and little time left to stop them, Rick aims his gun at the box of dynamite and pulls the trigger just as Michonne and the others reach the opposite side.

Over the course of the episode, Rick and his horse make their way to the bridge that has been Rick’s baby for most of season 9. It’s these moments of unconsciousness that lead to Rick’s reunions with past characters such as Shane, Hershel, and Sasha, as well as some beautiful sequences that mirror season 1. ![]() Not out of danger yet, Rick can barely keep ahead of the horde as he drifts in and out of consciousness astride his horse, which keeps just ahead of the oncoming Walkers. ![]() Amazingly, he manages to do this before the slow moving Walkers can get to him and jumps (well, not quite) onto his horse - which has helpfully not run off - to get away from the clawing zombies just in time.
