In that short span of time, three characters make pivotal choices one surprising, one baffling, and one anticlimactic. But until that point at the very end of the episode, the rest of the hour is spent largely hopping from one conversation to another. Most of these conversations arent significant The Other Side basically amounts to a full episode of stalling before the inevitable group battle that will happen at some point in the future.

Sasha and Rosita finally make up. Sashas strategical mind is sadly underrated, and it shows in this episode. Gene PageAMCOne of the recurring points of tension throughout season seven has been the romantic triangle between Sasha, Rosita, and the dearly departed Abraham that began back in season six. Because of this seasons constant shifts in focus, The Walking Dead has barely explored beyond a few curt exchanges how that rivalry has continued to impact the relationship of the two women following Negans murder of Abraham in the season seven premiere. A decent part of The Other Side is spent giving Sasha and Rosita the opportunity to travel together. Its the most time weve spent with either character all season, and a chance for the shows two most capable women to work out their issues. But their scenes together arent nearly as dynamic as youd hope or expect them to be. Even though Rosita and Sasha finally make amends and resolve their hostility over Abraham, they do this mainly through discussing the men in their lives instead of discussing themselves. When Rosita finally admits that she doesnt hate Sasha, its framed through realizations about her relationship with Abraham I thought I hated you, but maybe I just hated that he figured out his shit first. Given that their romantic entanglement is the only real reason the show has given them to interact up until now, this scene plays pretty well. But when Rosita adds that it was stupid to waste so much time, it feels like the show remonstrating itself for not giving these women more to do before sending them down a path that may end with one of them dead. Daryl expresses some pent up guilt. Theres more light on Daryl in this press shot than hes seen all season on the actual show. Poor Daryl. Gene PageAMCRemember how Negan recently burned the Saviors doctor alive Well, we learned in The Other Side that the reason the doctor was so expendable is that Negans brother, also a doctor, is caring for patients at Hilltop. Part of this episode is devoted, portentously and tiresomely, to the Saviors showing up to take him into their service. In the process, the Saviors henchman of the week does just enough posturing to remind the audience that the Hilltops nominal leader, Gregory Xander Berkeley, is a weak and manipulative alcoholic wholl probably screw over the rest of the Hilltoppers if push comes to shove or threats escalate to baseball bat. But otherwise, the only reason the episode spends so much time on this visit is to get Maggie Lauren Cohan and Daryl Norman Reedus who are forced to hide when the Saviors arrive to talk to one another. The Walking Dead knows the only thing its fans love more than being forced to remember how much we all loved Glenn is getting to see Daryl be emo and feel things. The show knows this so well that its had him spend roughly half of this season in the dark. When hes not locked in a darkened cell, hes having to hide in a darkened cellar the opening of this episode, which takes place in a quiet flashback montage of the Hilltoppers gearing up to fight Negan, devotes a full minute to a scene where Daryl sits in the dark at night, hair covering his face, being sad and carving weapons. Its clear hes been avoiding Maggie, and their moment of hiding allows her to finally confront him. So obviously, Daryl, who loved Glenn so much, gets a big cry moment, because he blames himself for the events that led to Glenns death. And Norman Reedus cries so beautifully. But Maggie, who loved Glenn most of all, tells Daryl hes wrong to blame himself and that Glenn thought Daryl was one of the good things in this world. And even though Daryls still technically in the dark cellar, when she hugs him and asks for his help winning the fight, its like sunlight breaks through storm clouds and the mother Madonna descends from on high to bless her perpetually outcast child. This sets Daryl up for his next move showing up outside the Saviors compoundat the last minute surprise When Sasha and Rosita go to complete their suicide run by infiltrating the Saviors compound, Sasha locks Rosita out in order to force her to stay behind so shell survive. Rosita discovers Daryl right outside the compound, but its too late for him to join both women and assist them. Sashas already inside on her own. All of this is clearly meant to foreshadow the possibility Sasha will die. But Im so used to The Walking Deads fake outs on this front that Im way more interested in whats going on with Eugene. Before Sasha heads into the compound, Sasha and Rosita encounter Eugene and a random Savior as the two men are inspecting the security of the camp perimeter. One Tree Hill Naley Episodes. The women quickly kill the Savior, but when they tell Eugene theyre freeing him, he begins to cry and tells them to go. Its easy to see why life with the Saviors appeals to Eugene he has a mission, clear objectives, and the sense of authority and respect for his abilities hes always longed for but has never received. And he gets free pickles But does this mean his chilling declaration of allegiance to Negan was real If its not the long con I hoped it would be, then Eugenes arc may be meant to illustrate how weakness can respond positively to authoritarianism as well as emulate it. But if Eugenes weakness is sincere, it now feels unearned, possibly because hes always been portrayed as more than he first appears. If hes truly become so assimilated to the culture of the Saviors compound, The Walking Dead will have wasted most of the genuinely intriguing character development its afforded Eugene thus far. But trying to predict whether Eugene is ultimately evil, or just really good at faking it, is probably anyones game at this point, even with so few episodes left in the season. As with so many things with The Walking Dead, it may be down to crossing our fingers and hoping for the best.
