I vote friends. Although I find the reason they switched from foe to friend a bit corny......(netflix and chill)...........the look he gave Carol and Zeke after guiding Tara and co to Kingdom, they seem genuine and I think it's got promise for a good beefy guardian crew later on in the story.
As I said elsewhere, it was indeed corny, but it validated the whole stupid light bulb episode, so I'm ok with it. Still not realist, but hey, if everybody's willing to die to watch a movie, why not making a deal over it too... And as pointed out by Carol, they weren't very threatening to begin with, maybe they just needed any excuse to make peace. I vote friends too. I think Cowboy hat will try to get Tara jumping the fence.
