Strand closes his eyes-he seems ready to die. After giving a lengthy speech over the radio about how she wants to be who she really is and not who Morgan would have turned her into, she seems ready to pull the trigger. Will he be able to cope with the guilt of having Morgan’s blood on his hands? What will he tell the group? What will he tell Alicia, who always believed he was better than this? We’ll never find out, because Morgan’s plot armor is too thick to be punctured by walker teeth.ĭakota runs into Strand as he attempts to get to Teddy and Riley, and she pulls a gun on him.

This is not the type of decision Alicia would be proud of him for, but it’s consistent with his character, and it’s fun to speculate where he might go from here. He pins Morgan down, breaks the axe off his staff and shoves him into the dead. He and Strand wind up surrounded by walkers, and Strand pulls a classic “ I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you”-type move. A few minutes later, he probably wishes he hadn’t.

There’s really no other option, so Morgan agrees. Thankfully, Strand has another way he says they can go up some stairs and find their way to the control center. Going through that door is out of the question-not that Morgan, in true Morgan fashion, doesn’t try to sacrifice himself for his people and go through it anyway. They continue their journey toward the control center to stop Teddy (John Glover), Riley (Nick Stahl), and Dakota (Zoe Colletti), but their path is blocked by a door with growling walkers on the other side as well as (this is Grace’s theory, based on the Geiger reading Morgan gives her) exposed nuclear material. Initially, this bout of heroism stuns Morgan, but once Strand explains his motivation-he wants to be able to tell Alicia ( Alycia Debnam-Carey) he’s “doing this for everyone,” not just himself-Morgan’s suspicions dissipate. Pursued by crew-walkers, Strand follows him. They start moving through the ship together, but at one point Morgan breaks off. Grace ( Karen David) hung back to communicate via radio with the rest of Morgan’s people on the ground (they apparently found some info about the submarine on the surface), saying there were 150 crew members, so, presumably, 150 walkers. The group descends into the sub and starts looking around for the cultists, but all they find are walkers. Plus, she discusses how the episode forced Alicia to make a choice about 'who she is going to become.' Doing This for Everyone
