- TriviaMaggie (Lauren Cohan) wears a hat and gloves similar to Glenn (Steven Yeun) & Abraham's (Michael Cudlitz) at the Hilltop Colony.
- GoofsNegan takes one look at the spent casing and immediately determines that it was home made. Unless Eugene is terrible at following the instructions in a reloading manual (available at many gun shops, which they've undoubtedly raided in search of supplies), there is no way he'd be able to tell if the casing came from a factory load, or was reloaded (recycled/home loaded).
- Quotes
Negan: You know, I'm thinking, Spencer. I'm thinking how Rick threatened to kill me, how he clearly hates my guts. But he is out there right now, gathering shit for me to make sure I don't hurt any of the fine people that live here. He is swallowing his hate and getting shit done. That takes guts. And then there's you The guy who waited for Rick to be gone so he could sneak over and talk to me to get me to do his dirty work, so he could take Rick's place. So I got to ask - if you wanna take over, why not just kill Rick yourself and just take over?
Spencer Monroe: What? No, no. I didn't - I don't...
Negan: You know what I'm thinking? 'Cause I have a guess.
[Whispering]
Negan: It's because you got no guts.
Negan: Ohh. How embarrassing. There they are. They were inside you the whole time. You did have guts. I've never been so wrong in my whole life!

In Carol's hidden cottage near the Kingdom, Richard, a soldier in the Kingdom's army, fails to convince Carol and Morgan to help him talk Ezekiel into fighting against the Saviors. Carol wants to be left alone, and Morgan thinks there's a peaceful way to cope.
As Negan continues his way through Alexandria, he is approached by Spencer, who wants him to kill Rick and make him the leader of the community. Negan, however, publicly chastises him for conspiring against Rick. He tells Spencer that the reason he wants other people to do his dirty work is that he "has no g*ts". Negan then slices Spencer open, spilling his guts all over the street.
Rosita steps out of the horrified crowd and takes a shot at Negan. Unfortunately, the bullet instead hits Lucille, Negan's bat. Rosita defiantly refuses to say who made the bullet, which leads to Olivia's death. Eugene, terrified that anyone else might die, confesses to making the bullet. He is taken by the Saviors.
Rick arrives at the scene and, partly thanks to words from Michonne, regains his will to fight. He meets Maggie and Daryl at the Hilltop, and they prepare for battle.
The episode follows Rick and the group as they prepare to confront Negan and the Saviors, culminating in a tense standoff between the two groups. The episode is notable for its intense and suspenseful action sequences, particularly the climactic showdown between Rick and Negan.
One of the most memorable scenes in the episode is when Daryl escapes from the Savior compound and reunites with Rick and the others, signaling the beginning of their resistance against Negan's rule. This moment is a turning point for the group, as they begin to fight back against their oppressors and reclaim their freedom. The tension builds as the various storylines converge, leading to a thrilling and satisfying conclusion that sets the stage for the second half of the season.
The episode is also notable for its exploration of the characters' relationships and how they have evolved over the course of the season. Rick's transformation from a broken and defeated leader to a determined and resolute fighter is particularly compelling, as he rallies the group to take a stand against Negan and the Saviors.
