5) When Will The Kingdom Join The Rebellion?
As we just said, Rick and his friends find the same response at The Kingdom as they did at Hilltop. King Ezekiel is also unwilling to side with Rick as it’ll endanger everything he’s worked for to keep his people safe. Ezekiel is a much stronger leader than Gregory, but unfortunately, his decision is the same. At least, for now.
Eventually, Ezekiel will change his mind and saddle up with Rick against Negan. But when will that be? Daryl stays behind in this episode, partly as a ploy to try and convince Ezekiel to join them. It’s also said that Morgan could change Ezekiel’s mind if he wanted, but the pacifist doesn’t agree with the idea, either.
It’s going to be a tough sell for Daryl then, but he’ll no doubt eventually manage it. Carol holds a certain sway over Ezekiel as well, so she might have something to do with it, too. Our best guess is that the team-up between the two communities will be saved until the last couple of episodes this season.
Honestly, we just really want to see Ezekiel’s pet tiger Shiva let loose to do some damage. After all, they’ve gone to the trouble of creating a CGI tiger, so they might as well do something with it, right?
