I don't think it was the just the chat with Morgan. She had seen the tape of her Mother. Her breaking down and crying seemed, to me, to be a release of that bloodthirsty rage which isn't really the kind of person she is. The breaking of a dam.
But I don't think she's going to be really cozy with Charlie. How could she? Laura/Naomi/June wasn't actually guilty of anything, but that kid definitely is.
Should be interesting to see how they handle that. With Alicia, Strand and Luciana.

 

Plus.. Morgan is kind of like Yoda.

 

I think the deserters got overrun, otherwise they would have been mentioned. Besides, they’re all extras & minor cast. Its another extinction event

 

With Madison's death confirmed who is going to take the leader role of this group of survivors?

 

The lawman. I can't see anyone overruling John's own sense of what to do.

Actually, I see them as a confederated band of many smart, capable people. Maybe they won't develop a central leader.

 

I was leaning towards John as well because of comments he made about being a leader like Rick when he was on TTD a few weeks back.

 

I think this would work best.

 

1) I bet Charlie helped Mel out of the makeshift infirmary and they just happened to stumble onto the truck.

2) Madison ignited the oil moments before the horde got to her, so I guess a burning walker got her and she burnt up with all of them. Either option is a horrible way to go.

3) The caravan of deserters were stopped by the herd, which forced their way inside each vehicle and killed the deserters. Mel and Charlie conveniently escaped for the later drama.

4) Indeed. Madison took pity on an injured Mel, but she wised up and kicked him out of the baseball stadium. Nick and Alicia sneaking out to bring Mel back just because Charlie begged them to was idiotic, and just staying in the car surrounded by the herd was lazy writing.

I hope in S4B, Charlie starts to show sociopathic tendencies. It would be frightening to see a child become a killer, unlike Lizzie, who was just crazy.

 

What I don’t understand is why, before the herd closed in on them, didn’t Nick and Alicia lay on the horn and just slowly cruise away to lead the herd behind them away from the stadium?

In the episode before we saw them in the parking lot as the walkers closed in... literally all they had to do was what Madison did only in the car and drawing them away... the horn would have done the job like it did in Season 6 in TWD when the truck rammed the fence at Alexandria and the horn was just continually blowing (or when Abe/Sasha & Daryl were leading them away)...

We were watching and going WTF are Nick and Alicia waiting for...

 

You mean like Chris? Nah. I just hope Alicia finds her alone to remind her she killed her brother and pierces her eyes with her thumbs.
