There’s also another effectively emotional moment when Connie’s sis explains why she’s been grumpy - because Connie left without saying goodbye, and in this world, every goodbye could be the last. Again, there’s no way this picturesque scene doesn’t end in horror.

The old “remember when you were the outsider” argument works on Tara, and soon they all agree to defend Lydia and each other with a “mutual protection pact.” (Note that the rep from Oceanside doesn’t look familiar because it’s Rachel, the smartass, loogie-spitting, bird-flipping little girl who’s now all growns up.) Meanwhile, Henry gives Lydia a tour of the Faire: Sid and Enid work the “CPR Lessons” booth, which is not a popular attraction Earl shows off his blacksmith-y wares and his old lady Tammy Rose flaunts their Skinjob baby Judith sends Eugene into the dunk tank to much applause and Alden and Luke argue over mid-tempo ballads while Enid drops the “b” word. The next order of business is Michonne calling a meeting of the leaders to deal with Lydia’s return. That kid will melt your heart and stab a zombie in the face - without a doubt the greatest Grimes of all time. I was more choked up watching Carol reunite with Daryl than with Henry if you weren’t teary already, enter Judith, who hasn’t seen Carol or Zeke in years but says she’s been drawing pictures of them all this time. Off fly some doves or pigeons or some such white, peace-symbolizing birds, and then it’s off on an emotional roller coaster of reunions and said new beginnings. FAIR good one, Jerry!) but Zeke opted for the rather yawn-inducing Fair of New Beginning. He hits the right notes - giving props to Rick, Carl, and Jesus before declaring, “The crossing over the river may be gone, but we built a bridge nonetheless.” Preach, King! Jerry wanted to call this thing the First Annual Intercommunity Reunification (a.k.a. The Faire finally kicks off with, of course, a Zeke speech. A rather ominous sign: nearby in the dirt lies a bloody “H” necklace. Need proof? We cut to Hilde’s lifeless body on the ground, the sound of knives sharpening, and a familiar tune as Alpha begins to carefully remove her hair. The story of Miles and Hilde sets the tone: a young couple in love who found shelter at Hilltop, washed up real nice, and hoped to start a business selling trinkets carved with the letter “H.” Maybe that symbolizes “Hilltop” or “home” better yet, like the Faire itself, maybe it represents “hope.” But this fairy tale story was doomed from the start, because let’s face it - fairy tales don’t end happily anymore. It’s not like there weren’t plenty of clues along the way that something wicked was this way coming. The result is one of the show’s most memorably shocking scenes ever and the best episode in a long time.

But Alpha proves she’s even more deranged and dangerous than anyone thought. She even gave their weapons back and kindly pointed them to the way home. After all, Alpha let her daw-dah live, then not only captured Daryl’s search party alive, but also freed them without so much as a scratch.
THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 9 EPISODE 15 DEATHS SKIN
Perhaps her magical ability to exfoliate her skin and power wash her rotten teeth - along with her lovely new sundress and scalp-wig - changed her whole perspective. For a second there, I thought maybe we had Alpha all wrong. Fool me once, TWD, shame on you fool me after nine seasons and I guess I’m just an idiot.
