Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe construction site scenes were filmed in the courtyard of the prison from earlier seasons.
- GoofsFragmentation grenades have a kill radius of 5 meters (~15 feet) and a casualty radius of 15 meters (~45 feet). It's impossible that the only effect Glenn and the group experienced was concussion. They would have been severely wounded or killed by the fragmentation and the cardboard boxes and packing peanuts would have done virtually nothing to impede the shrapnel.

[last lines]
Deanna Monroe: Gabriel, what is it?
Father Gabriel Stokes: I need to speak with you.
Deanna Monroe: Come - Come in.
Father Gabriel Stokes: Privately.
Deanna Monroe: All, right.
Father Gabriel Stokes: Satan... he disguises himself as the angel of light. I'm afraid that false light is here, inside these walls. This community, you say it's not a paradise, but it is. I'm grateful to be here. I am. But you made a mistake letting in the others.
Deanna Monroe: How so?
Father Gabriel Stokes: [Maggie listens from around the corner hallway to Gabriel talk about Rick and her group] Rick... his group... they're not good people. They've done things. They've done unspeakable things.
Carol Peletier: [the scene cuts to Carol talking to Rick] Pete's hitting Jessie. Maybe Sam, too.
Deanna Monroe: [the scene cuts back to Deanna and Gabriel] To make it out there as long as he did. They must've done things, Rick said as much. They survived. That's what makes them assets.
Father Gabriel Stokes: You're wrong. They can't be trusted. They're dangerous. You may believe that they did, what they had to do, that they were afraid and so they - The day will come... when they'll put their own lives before yours and everyone else's and they will destroy everything you have here. Everything you're working so hard to build.
Rick Grimes: You know this how? Sam tell you?
Carol Peletier: He didn't have to.
Father Gabriel Stokes: Why are you just now coming to me with this?
Father Gabriel Stokes: He disguises himself as an angel of light. His servants are the false apostles of righteousness. They don't deserve this. They don't deserve paradise.
Deanna Monroe: Thank you, Gabriel. I have a lot to think about.
Father Gabriel Stokes: I - I only wish I'd come to you sooner. That I just - I hope it isn't too late.
Carol Peletier: Rick. I know how this is gonna go with Pete. There's only one way it can go. You're gonna have to kill him.
