I agree with those of you who saw this episode as creepy. The scene at the farmhouse was every bit as creepy for me as George Romero's Walking Dead movie. The scene was rather dark and moody which added to the intense ambiance of the scene.

At the farmhouse, several members of a rescue team including Jesus and Daryl found Eugene hiding in a secret spot away from the walkers. Eugene hurriedly tells them of his ordeal of the walkers coming back again and again, and he also tells them of hearing the walkers whispering among themselves. Eugene believes the walkers are evolving as he has never heard anything like that before.

About that time, the action picks up and the rescue crew and a very injured Eugene are swarmed by walkers. They tried to escape out another exit, but were cornered by the walkers by a gate that was stuck. The crew had no choice but to fight the walkers.

There are no guarantees in any battle, and Jesus died bravely fighting off a herd of walkers. Fortunately, a backup crew arrived with Michone and others to rescue the others who were still alive. It was noticed that one of the walkers skin, or hair, didn't look right. At that moment, the group found that the ones who they thought were evolving walkers were really people camouflaged as walkers using walker's skin.

I thought the fight scene alone was some of the best action I've seen in years!

Next up...pan to Negan in his cell throwing a ball against the wall, and it falls out of the cell where he can't reach it. As Negan was pondering the ball, he noticed that the lock was different. He walked up to the lock and saw the door was unlocked. At that point, he steps outside of his cell. At first he contemplated the ball for a second, but the look in his face was "nah...I think I'll leave now." I recorded the episode, so I will see it again to see what kind of look was on Negan's face.

Negan is now free! There are many things he can do; the world is his oyster.

I look forward to the 2nd part of this season to see what happens to Negan; and to see if there is anymore news from the people in the helicopter with Jadis and Rick, and to see what the whisperers will do.
