The action scenes are good, if not always logical (why did the plan depend on Daryl getting into a car wreck? Was everyone in the group that confident in his plot armor?!). Carol and Negan make a good duo, and Lance Hornsby and Pamela Milton are interesting villains. Plenty happens in “Lockdown,” and both plots are compelling enough. Or, equally unsatisfying, a time-jump could happen…and it could not show Daryl, Carol, Maggie, or Negan to preserve the tension for their spinoffs. There’s always the good ol’ “everything’s fine now!” massive time-jump forward, but that might rob the spinoffs of significance. My hope is that the show I’ve invested a decade in ends on a satisfying note, but with so many spinoffs in development, I’m unsure how any conclusion here can feel final.
On that subject-as a longtime TWD viewer, I’m entering this season with some nerves. 
Likely a casualty of the final season being a surprise. For something as huge as Negan moving on from Lucille, it’s baffling that TWD kept the development of their relationship off-screen.
I wish TWD had shown how Negan and Annie (Medina Senghore) ended up together. I also thought it was funny when he randomly dropped the news on her that he’s married and has a kid on the way. Negan’s quote about Carol “pulling rabbits out of her ass,” as well as her expression after he said it, was pure gold. They were fun in Season 10, and they’re fun now. I love Carol and Negan working together and wish they’d do that more often. Everyone watching knows it’s the last season, so the flashbacks feel more like a way to relive the “glory days” than anything in service of the overall story. 
(Episode 18 starts with it as well, so it’ll likely continue through the season.) Something about it seems too “navel-gazey” to me.
I’m not sure what I think of the Judith narration that opens this episode. (As Mercer puts it, “Someone didn’t do their job.”) They escape with their lives. Rosita and Mercer find themselves in a bad situation outside the walls as the horde advances unexpectedly. The crowd winds up getting tear-gassed by the soldiers for “breaking curfew,” so it disperses. (The pitfalls of being the leader’s son.) Negan stays behind to stop the angry crowd from reaching them, while Carol quickly gets Sebastian to safety. They emerge onto the Commonwealth streets, where, unsurprisingly, he’s immediately recognized. Rosita ( Christian Serratos) steps into action to go outside the walls and help, while Jerry and the kids fight to stay one step ahead of Hornsby’s people, who intend to capture the youngsters and use them to draw out Daryl and his friends.Įventually, Negan and Carol talk Sebastian into leaving his hiding spot. As they talk, things get worse outside as a horde descends on the Commonwealth. Negan impresses upon the sniveling brat that his best option is to go with them, but Sebastian, being Sebastian, just has to whine about it. Because there’s no problem Carol can’t solve, she manages to track him down. The plan? Use him as leverage to bargain with Pamela for their people’s safety-they just have to locate him. Much of the episode sees Carol and Negan working together to find Sebastian. She and the kids hide, barely escaping detection-and then, once they’re safe, Jerry ( Cooper Andrews) shows up with Negan. As the protests are happening, Carol ( Melissa McBride) gets a visit from Hornsby’s goons. This complicates things for Yumiko ( Eleanor Matsuura) and Stephanie (Margot Bingham), who are both working for Pamela while attempting to bring her down. Because of Connie’s ( Lauren Ridloff) article, the citizens are demanding Pamela ( Laila Robins) prosecute Sebastian (Teo Rapp-Olsson) for the role he played in their loved ones’ deaths. Things at the Commonwealth are…complicated. Mercer, realizing what Hornsby’s been up to, lets Negan in. He gets away and heads to the Commonwealth, where he tells Mercer ( Michael James Shaw) about what’s been going on outside the walls. #Shush se the walking dead full
Daryl gets into a shootout with Hornsby and his team while Negan leads the soldiers away, then Negan leads that car full of soldiers into a position where Daryl can crash into them and wipe them out. After Negan sneaks out and kills a few soldiers, he steals a car, leaving a weapon and radio behind for Daryl to take with another vehicle. They figure Negan ( Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is their best chance since the soldiers have never seen him before.
Team Daryl ( Norman Reedus) plans to take out Hornsby (Josh Hamilton) before he can radio back to the Commonwealth.
