How does that latter mission go?
And how does Rick Grimes story onThe Walking Deadultimately end?
Find out below …
What Was in The Echelon Briefing?
Its no secret that The Civic Republic Military is bad.
WhatThe Ones Who Livepromises is an answer to why theyre so bad in the first place.
Beale tells Rick that hes given this briefing 2,533 times.
And surely the Echelon briefings didnt start immediately on zombie D-Day in 2010.
It probably took a couple of years to develop enough secrets to even justify needing an Echelon briefing.
Its not like this is a quick download of information either.
As we see with Rick, theres a big ritual surrounding it.
Where does Beale even find the time to be a bad guy?
And theyre bad because they think they need to be to survive.
Thats because CRM helicopters have discovered herds of zombies that number in the millions out in the wild.
However much clearing of the dead theyre doing, its not enough.
Eventually the living will be overwhelmed.
Thats not even to mention other survival challenges like disease, famine, and political conflict.
Then they will declare martial law and officially take over the Civic Republic.
Thankfully, Rick has been at this post-apocalyptic game long enough to know bullshit when he hears it.
What Happens to the CRM?
Upon reuniting, Rick and Michonne are in agreement: the CRM must be stopped.
To that end, the duo come up with one of the more creative uses for zombies yet.
There isnt much time left in the episode at this point so things get a little sloppy from here.
The Civic Republic Council voted unanimously to establish civilian oversight over what was left of the CRM.
Do Rick and Michonne Make it Back Home?
In the case of the latter, Rick is actually meeting his son for the first time.
Youre the brave man?
RJ asks Rick, using the nickname his mother gave him.I am.
But maybe you could call me dad.I knew youd come back.How?I believed.
Rick adjusts the little guys hat and everyone lives happily ever after.
Will There Be a The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Season 2?
Not only that, but both Lincoln and Gurira left the franchise of their own accord once already.
Its likely that they viewed this series as Rick and Michonnes swan song.
AMC has not yet made any kind of announcement regardingThe Ones Who Liveseason 2.
Color us surprised is they ever commission it.
