There are going to be spoilers. Anyway, the first half of the episode consists of Rick gathering everyone in the church and telling them that if they need food, they need to ambush the Saviors. Morgan says that they should talk to the Saviors first, which Rick disagrees, and surprisingly, so does Aaron. He says that he doesn't want another attack on Alexandria and that they've lost enough.
Morgan, Carl, Denise, Eugene, etc stay away. Carol, earlier delivers cookies to everyone, including Tobin, who says he loves them, but Carol doesn't believe him, thinking he's screwing with her. She maintains a kill list in her diary, and walks out for a cigarette break at night. Tobin talks to her and they sit beside each other at the porch. He tells her that he's terrified of what she does, and believes she can only do it because she's a mother. Carol asks if she's a mother to him too..and it's obvious, that he says no. Things ensue, and they have a small kiss. Wow, this was unexpected!
Anyway, Andy, the guy who's hand was broken and was in the Saviors' compound before to deliver them supplies, draws a rough map of the Saviors' compound and the group leaves. Maggie and Carol take guard near the vehicles, while the rest scavenge for Walkers. Why? Because they plan to give the Saviors', Gregory's head. They manage to somehow find a walker head which somewhat looks like Gregory and Rick punches it thrice to make it look like Andy hit Gregory's nose in retaliation to getting his hand broke.
Andy goes alone and delivers the head to two Savior' guards. Things are very tense, but they're fooled into believing it's the real Gregory. One of them goes inside, while Daryl kills the other one from the back. Boom! Throat slit. Classic! Anyway, Rick's group disappears again and the other gets the sword from the back. With both of them dead, they infiltrate the inside of the compound. Rick opens a door to a room, and silently drives his knife into a sleeping Saviors' skull...err that was brutal. Glenn and Heath had a talk before about killing, and how they both hated it. Anyway, Glenn and Heath open another room's door, and Glenn reluctantly drives his knife into a Saviors' skull. Heath is still too mentally weak to kill, so Glenn obliges and kills the other Savior. Meanwhile, Sasha drives her knife into a Saviors' stomach, but he manages to sound the alarm, creating a panic among everyone. With no choice, Rick, Daryl, Michonne and others go on a murderous rampage, shooting every Savior in sight. A gunfight ensues, and Aaron drives his knife into a Saviors' heart! Beautiful. Some good character development there. Glenn and Heath are assaulted by the gunfire, but they manage to hide in a room. With no choice, they pick up two LMGs and shoot through the door, murdering around 6 Saviors. Dark as hell..and I love it!
Also, Father Gabriel points his gun at a Savior and the Savior mocks him. Gabriel then kills him, with no choice, saying Amen at the end. Beautiful again! Great character development.
In the end, it's morning and they think they've killed everyone when a girl announces on the walkie-talkie that they have Maggie and Carol! Tense way to finish the episode. Overall, fantastic episode with a slightly slow start, but excellent finish and great amount of character developments! Man, when Negan arrives, the show is going to change forever.
