[@wingman-1977]

People totally overlooked Jadis’s tombstone with the letter A. Not only it represented her name of Ann, it also means that she’s a leader according the the CRM’s lettering system. I’m very surprised Ryan overlooked this.

[@getaloadofthisguy2927]

Especially since they spent a hot minute calling common gift shop names trinkets “references”

[@Roger-il8iw]

Screen crush outsources these scripts and then just reads it. Half the time he gets the names wrong. I think most viewers noticed that though.

[@JS310]

Tbh the bold 'A' by itself is one of the most obvious Easter eggs you'll see ay thus point lol. I like how it basically serves as proof they're both As that they got the best of her

[@babd7176]

I would like to think that it stood for Alexandria, if Rick and Michonne buried her.

[@nutthousecinema22]

That’s the first thought I had.

[@sassyone82]

The toothpaste, the necklace and the proposal scenes….oh my heart!!!!😍😍😍😍 Totally love Rick and Michonne’s (Andy & Danai’s) chemistry.

[@MeetMrMayhem88]

This season has been phenomenal! I can't put into words how happy I am to have R&M back, and that the show has been so great so far. No way they wrap all this up in one more episode, tho.

[@detroitdiezel7856]

Agreed! 👍 Especially after the good ratings and strong reviews, they're going to announce a second season soon. AMC is milking this franchise for all can get, and they finally have a show that's worthy of more than 1 season.

[@foreverhose678]

When Jadis was dying at the end, had to pause the episode her speech was that good and the paintings was chef's kiss😢

It was extremely corny lol

[@leesha4u]

Yes, we knew she would not let up. Gabriel was definitely appropriate for her scenes but totally shocked to see him. Now, all we need is for Michonne to deal with Thorne...woman to woman. However, I kind of wish Thorne would turn on the CRM. We need her skill set.

[@mariorooks12345]

I caught that toothpaste reference so quick. It’s crazy to think they referenced all the way from season 6 from so many years ago

[@B19D]

the toothpaste and where "jesus" walks in on them while in bed crazy they referance stuff from so long ago😂

Great to see the Glenn painting again even if it’s just as a reference to Jadis

I wonder did we ever found out who painted the creepy Terminus painting Michonne found?

Jadis was a baddie in that apron

[@Estelle2007]

@@reycaribe I was wondering about that, too. Like if it was implying Anne made the paintings. Kind of hard to tell.

Poor Gabriel lost Rosita maybe a few months later he losses the only person who truly loved.

[@deckzone3000]

A few months after when?

[@Truthster772]

When those people pulled a gun on them after they gave them food was THE BEST part of this latest episode!! I immediately snickered and of course, when they responded with “you want to just roll that back?” I absolutely lost it. So Rick. So Michonne.

[@cindyspangler3982]

When I saw Gabe's face, I had to replay it, it was so darn surprising, and good to see him! I caught most of the Easter Eggs and thanks for filling the rest in! I do love that "Jadis", died as herself, Anne. Polly Macintosh deserved that ending for her years in the show. The CRM soldiers getting closed in by the sea of walkers would be epic!

[@niamhnifhoghlu]

Anne calling herself Jadis Stokes furthers that tie to Alexandria. Using Gabriel's surname proves she's not too far gone. Xx

[@ashley.taylor174]

I loved when Rick proposed to Michonne at the end. 🥰

[@sassyone82]

Me too….it was so sweet!!!😍😍😍

[@h-dawg969]

I hope that they have something epic written for the echelon briefing that is worthy of the hype that Thorne & Jadis have given it.

[@detroitdiezel7856]

It's going to be like Marcellus Wallace's briefcase from "Pulp Fiction". Rick's just going to open up the file folder and we're just going to see a bright glow emanating from it as he reads it. 😮

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

It better be.

[@chessur8406]

When Jadis corrected Rick on who she saw herself as she said “Jadis Stokes”. She took Gabriels last name as her own.

[@jduke93]

Such a great episode! But man I really hope we get a season 2

[@dragonballradiant2744]

[@schristine159]

I just want a season 2 so badly, idc I’ll wait for it as long as it’s as great as this show has been

[@deeobrien5417]

Me too, I think when I heard about it to begin with i thought I’d be happy enough with one season to close out these characters’ arcs but between how the world has really kept expanding with the other shows and the Daryl and Maggie shows having more seasons and as this show has gone on with so many connections to the other characters, as well as not being able to imagine how they would close these characters’ arcs now with only one episode remaining (it just seems completely impossible) I’d be absolutely shocked and gutted if there wasn’t more after this. And all these spin-offs seem to be doing really well in terms of quality, critical reception and viewership, this expansion seems to be a big success…

[@JCVenomous]

When I saw the “Sophia” plate I lost my SHIT

[@TheTotalRecap]

I missed that!!!

[@meazyme]

This show has been even better than I hoped, shit is AWESOME. How they gonna fit everything in one more episode?? We need another szn AMC!!!

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Janis death scene was heartbreaking it made me cry i think that was a prefect to end to her character redeeming her wouldve been a poor choice.

[@cindyspangler3982]

She did get somewhat redeemed. Thanks to Gabriels care for her over their visits, she decided to die as Anne, and told them where to find her brief on them..

[@ashley.taylor174]

😂 I waited almost a decade for Jadis to die. Finally!

[@Georgeofthejungle29]

Yuck! She had it comin

[@BriskoeDaKid1987]

The thing that makes me laugh is that evolved walkers have literally been there from the beginning lol. They just ain’t show us again till many seasons later. Morgan’s wife was the first one

[@cliffordjordan9577]

This guy really makes the most outrageous reaches I’ve ever heard

[@sassyone82]

Another great episode!!!! They definitely hit it out of the park with this spinoff!!!! Been loving every minute of it!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@TheFifthOfNovember93]

The last episode better than not be the end.. I can’t lose Rick AGAIN!

[@detroitdiezel7856]

Huh?

[@mikejornlin]

With respect to AMC+, I think it’s important to mention that “the entire Walking Dead library” does NOT include the original series. I subscribed thinking that I could catch up on the seasons I missed, but nope. (Turns out the original series is on Netflix in the US, but I don’t have that.)

[@christophergray1673]

Before I even watch, they've made amazing trailers this season and everyone has been wrong in predictions. No one had father gabriel on their bingo card 😂😂

[@leesha4u]

Not NOONE!!!!😂

[@sexychocolate10049]

I did because of jadis

[@christophergray1673]

I call cap on everyone that had gabriel. Everybody's theories have been wrong because they did a good job in trailers. Same reason I predict michonne death (or badly injured) in finale based on the shot where she is shocked. Everyone has been naming tons of people and in NO comment section did anyone even peep the name gabriel 😂😂

[@explorinjenkins349]

Seeing Gabriel was like a comfort food. The closest feeling I get is rewatching Star Trek Voyager. Warmed my heart, knowing he's still kicking around.

[@lastrrr4134]

I would have mentioned the noodles also being a possible Easter Egg from Althea's noodle stash (on Fear)

[@DannyVegasVIP]

When they showed it was Gabriel with the machete: I yelled out: Oh sh!+! No way?? 😮😮😮😮

[@petrarabbit3995]

I was rewatching the original walking dead. And after jadis grinds her walker friends up and changes and opens a box of applesauce, i noticed how the can had 3 circles for crm. Lol

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

Gabriel saying his mistake was losing faith in her wasn't in reference to when she almost gave him to the crm. It was before that. When he was thinking she could have had something to do with the savior that was killed.

[@Aaahaaa123]

Why is Gabriel rogue rn ?

[@Hello1_5]

Another super small Easter egg, when Jaidas was talking to Rick and Michone in the big shed, where she ended up dying. She was talking to them about the CRM and how they do things. Can’t entirely remember what she said exactly, but she said at one point “It’s about what comes after” S9 E5 when Rick blew up the bridge was called “What Comes After”.

[@MostElusive007]

Jesus take the wheel while Darryl is trying beat up Jesus 😂

[@Lucky28PT]

Jadis has been visiting gabriel. im suprised some what, just want to see rick be rick again the looks on his face the rick expressions he use to have..so far so good im really likeing the ones who live,,

[@Kevin_tx]

This series is superb! No complaints, there is still so much life in this series!

[@IsiahBradley]

THANKS for this, Doug and Ryan!!!!

[@christophergray1673]

The season has been tremendous, especially the trailers. I think it's all been a test to see if they would spend the movie doing the movies/miniseries they said they would do when rick left show. This last episode is definitely a setup to future story.

[@Animelord119]

6:49 best part 😂😂

[@TrevorLahey546]

With Daryl ripping with out😂

[@Hdc2390]

I knew it was going be Gabriel bc he had a huge connection with jadis

[@troylazarus4102]

The last season dealing with walkers that can climb and open doors was not about walker's evolving. It was about explaining mistakes that were made with the walkers in the first season where one climbed a chain link fence, chasing Glenn and Rick and was running. Also Morgan's wife trying to open the door to the house they were in. And the walker with the rock trying to smash the windows at the jewelry store they were hold up in.

[@WT1wL]

The name plates reminded me of DENISE

[@psychoapplesauceeater8562]

A lot of people hated her

[@ashley.taylor174]

One of the producers is named Denise.

[@WT1wL]

RIP Denise ,. You were brave like Daryl and your brother Dennis

[@isoladellerosetv]

8:05 I love your breakdowns, but you made a big mistake: you should watch FEAR, there are also there, and it was the first series to show us variants or walkers who have changed due to natural or humans influences.

[@H2E47]

They read of an autocue, doubt they’d watch the dumpster fire that is Fear purely for some references.

[@tbarret320]

Michonne was also on a horse season 4 while looking for the Governor...four horsemen.

[@marciaelle4659]

Awesome discoveries. Thank you!

The name rack is also a reference to an episode in TWD with Daryl when he’s out scavenging

[@Gabriel-ki7uj]

Hey Wreck

[@seija9154]

Everything keeps telling Rick to wake up. Like his last scene in the original show, everyone in his dreams kept waking him up (Shane, Hershel, Sasha, etc.)

[@jeffrobodeenyehcmon5925]

I think the letter A on the Rock is where Jadis found Rick promising the CRM an A.

[@karensilvera6694]

I love your channel! I can't believe I'm adding a comment on TOWL. I haven't missed one MCU videos. Did anyone else wonder why Jadis didn't just tell them what the Echelon briefing was? She was high up so she'd know...yes? It confused me.

I screamed seeing Gabriel again . Loved that he was in there

[@mingus6929]

The ring came from a previous season/episode...maybe Morgan?

[@FupaDoncic]

During the main series this Ricklationship sort of felt forced and out of place. But man the acting got me thing they really together in real life.

[@ashley.taylor174]

They have great chemistry. What makes you think they’re together in real life?

[@leesha4u]

Think about it. Although he was falling in love , which is a human nature...he never really had much time to embrace it. Rick has been rogue seemingly forever. We finally get to see him relaxed and expressing romantic love to his ride or die chick. We know its TV, but at the same time these characters needed to be shown as human beings, not just fighting and killing machines. I think it was good to see all of them explore a romantic relationship. Now Rick got his strength back...Its time for World War Rick! They will see Mr. Grimes in his true element! Go light they a..es up!!

[@savingprvtryan]

They need to bring everyone from the group and spinoffs back together for a final series and some really good movies The 6 episode short series aren’t going to work well for the longevity of the brand

[@jessicanewberry5404]

At the very beginning when Gabriel hear helicopters and is praying when the walker comes up on him he kills it. But my question is do you all think Alexandrea is being attached by CRM and the burnt walker was from the attach site? If so who all is in Alexandrea? I know kids are in commonwealth.

[@sexychocolate10049]

No one from there is just the commonwealth soldiers and their people helping to fix it up

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

What a fantastic episode im still enjoying what they doing ,and it been a great season of tv so far the finale look great next week cant wait to see the echelon briefing ,and to see the dossier get destroyed would be amazing if we get any of the character from world beyond make an appearance Hopefully we see rick come home or the story will Carry on for a second season.

P.S. COLTON!!!! THANKS for explaining it all!!!!

[@TheTotalRecap]

Thanks for watching!

[@ScreenCrush]

What did you think of the epsiode?

[@apocolex93]

Mad Beale theory of mine and it’s a bit long sorry. Before I thought Jadis might be the mastermind but maybe it is Beale. Maybe he ALREADY SAW THE FILE and actually knows all about Rick this whole time and he’s been toying with him all along. Not to screw with him but to indoctrinate him. Very slowly. We’ve seen Rick be conflicted when it comes to CRM. You have Ricks loyalty you potentially have the keys to Alexandria, Oceanside, New Hilltop, and anyone else who would follow him. I also think Beale knows about the Commonwealth which he might and here’s why: Lance Hornsby was making deals with “Certain Alliances” Maybe that was them and he knows all about that lot too. Maybe he knows who Morgan is and his allies. After all Morgan took out two CRM soldiers and he’s walking around looking for ‘Rick Grimes’ on a radio. If Beale already saw Jadis’s file he may know about not just Morgan but certain names such as Negan, Daryl, Carol, Maggie, which may lead him to hear about what some of these people have been up to (which is a lot now). Remember the Commonwealth also had files on people which he may have seen. Beale was messing with Rick when they had their chat in TOWL ep1 on the bench. He called him ‘Grimes’ but then ‘Rick’ when he didn’t believe him. He knew Rick was lying about Okafor because, and get this Beale KNOWS EVERYTHING. Maybe he wants Rick on his side and his people as he knows what an asset they all are. He wanted to test his loyalty and see if he was willing to go through with ‘improving’ the CRM because he wants Ricks strength and influence even though he’s an A. You control the leader you control the rest potentially. He see’s Rick as his biggest asset. During Okafors funeral he directly addresses Rick in a way during his speech. Maybe this is because he knows that Rick’s fought many wars and will one day choose the right side (CRM). Once you’re institutionalised or indoctrinated it’s very hard to get out of that mindset and you can see Rick is almost drawn to Beale in a way. (Also there’s a Mercer name reference which could be nothing but also might be a Commonwealth Easter egg) The thing is while Rick was busting drunks and telling teens off for underage drinking as a cop in King County, Beale was destroying his enemies in wars. He’s very clever and very manipulative and a seasoned warlord by this point. I think maybe he’s got one one over on Rick. And if I’m wrong I’m betting he ends up finding out about them in the end. Beale has been kind of a strange and seemingly unthreatening character but we know what he did to Campus Colony and others and we know that if all goes wrong he will wipe every one of his enemies out of existence. What he has planned we will find out at the Briefing but it can’t be good. Can’t wait for final ep! That was long sorry but man this series is fun!

To the Moses theory. Mashone could be Harriet Tubman aka black Moses, who would sneak into colonies and save enslaved captives. So maybe Rick will return to the crm and Mashone will start an Underground Railroad delivering ppl from the CR.
