The Alexandria residents pick up the pieces following the recent attack and face up to a more immediate threat.
This is an uneventful, reflective and character driven story that gives a breather from the carnage of the early episodes of series six.
The plot focuses on specific characters and does a good job of showing their reaction to recent events. This kicks off some solid development for the residents of Alexandria. The scenes with Deanna, Spencer, Denise and Ron are reasonably well written and very well acted. Ron in particular shows signs of being a source of trouble or antagonism in the near distant future.
It does feel though like the writers are ignoring the most interesting plot points and characters in favour of the above. Considering they previously made such a big deal about Rick realising the Wolves he killed on the bus had been to Alexandria, we don't get to see his reaction to what actually happened or any relief that Judith is okay. Plus the most entertaining characters such as Carol and Morgan are conveniently ignored.
Some of the dialogue is a bit clunky and feels unnatural. Aaron's exposition filled commentary on Maggie as she prepares to do something being one of those moments. However, the worst for me involves a scene where Jessie does something in front of the other residents and then promptly turns around to give them a speech about it and her general state of mind.
All performances are excellent, particularly Merritt Wever and Lauren Cohan.
The visuals are mostly good. There is fantastic art direction during the sewer scenes that make for a creepy atmosphere, but unfortunately the episode also resorts to the old clichéd sudden appearance of a hissing zombie that nobody hears until it's six inches away.
