3 days countdown pic walking dead5/2/2024 The episode starts with a bang - see what I did there? - as Maggie tussles with a Reaper who takes a rocket to the back, then explodes. Saving the wall and the windmill are such dull tasks that we don’t return to either for an update or see any of these folks again until the end. (Guess she threw it to him, he caught it, and tied his end with one hand while holding onto the pipe with his mace arm? M’kay.) While that’s going on, Connie - as always, an angel walking among us - offers to help Magna repair the still-vulnerable wall. When he then gets trapped - clinging to a pipe above the walker-infested water - Lydia somehow produces a rope and strings it up tight enough for Aaron to shuffle across to safety. As luck would have it, Gracie has a rescue whistle for emergencies like “stuck in a basement and facing certain death.” Even more fortunate is that Aaron hears said whistle despite the chaos in every direction, then rushes to save the girls. What transpires next is among the more incredulous TWD scenarios, and that’s a high bar to clear. (Memo to Magna: Please refrain from calling the zombies “sickos” ever again.) Short story: it ain’t looking good. Meanwhile, volunteer firefighters Aaron and Jerry grapple with smoke inhalation and get an update on the wall repair from Carol and Magna. Judith is trapped in the basement, dealing with rising floodwaters, zombies pounding at the door, and helpless Gracie, who’s the odds-on favorite to end up as zombie food. It’s a literal horror show at A-town as the adults finally realize that two of the kids they’re charged with protecting are MIA. This action-packed episode toggles between the two locales and delivers one unsurprising death, two somewhat shocking murders, and a mind-scrambling fast-forward that presumably sets up the rest of this eight-episode “part two” story arc. Rather than leave her militia group behind, however, Leah unleashed her firework-launching war machine on Maggie’s strike team. Reaperville wasn’t looking much better, despite the surprising death of their leader, Pope, at the hands of Daryl’s ex-flame, Leah. Not only were the survivors out of food, but the walls had been breached, the windmill was on fire, and zombies were running wild (or at least slowly ambling around, as zombies do). A brief recap-within-a-recap: When we last saw the survivors, everything had gone to complete shit at both A-town and Meridian.
