“What We”

Michonne found Rick in the season premiere, but she did not actually find him until this episode.

What an episode.

“What We” was written by Danai Gurira, who plays Michonne, and this is one of the most emotional episodes of the entire The Walking Dead series. It was beautifully written and had so much between these two, amazing characters, inside this building that is collapsing around them.

I would compare Rick to an abused and beaten dog who can’t see any other path than taking it, retreating inside himself to hope for the best. Michonne can see that this is a shell of the man she knew all those years ago, but she held out hope that that man was still inside him somewhere.

Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira give Emmy-winning worthy performances basically on their own. Their passionate arguments to their ass-kicking of the Walkers just filled this episode with power.
