Added DiffLines:

* TheBusCameBack: Simon makes his first reappearance since his death in Season 8’s "Worth".
* CallBack:
** In "Who’s There?", Negan explained the story of how he decided the Croat needed to be executed, and here we see a flashback of that moment.
* ContinuityNod:
** The Croat mentions Ezekiel by his former title of "king", as well as Hilltop, which would later be the community Simon would be appointed to deal with in Season 7.
** Simon says the Saviors don’t do what the Croat did to the Kingdom girl to children. His genocide of Oceanside was committed against every male over the age of 10.
** Simon takes a moment to needle Negan insisting that harsher authority be taken against the Croat and imply that he be given more command; his arc in Season 8 revolved around how he believed Negan was too soft to lead the Saviors, which was just his way of saying he wanted Negan to commit complete and total genocide.
** Maggie and Negan encounter a teen walker who they worry is Hershel thanks to his strong resemblance to him. Maggie underwent a similar scenario back in Season 4's "Inmates" where she thought Glenn was among the walkers on the bus full of reanimated prison survivors.
* DramaticIrony: Seeing Simon deride the Croat for his crimes against a child rings a bit hollow for the audience given they witnessed him try to commit genocide on AHK, up to and including all their children.


Added DiffLines:

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: The Croat justified his actions against the Kingdom girl this way.
* IHatePastMe: Negan says the closer they get to the Croat, the more he’s reminded of his vile past.
* InterserviceRivalry: The Croat and Simon are shown to have been at each other’s throats well before his final straw that broke the camel’s back.
* PrecisionFStrike: Maggie says she buried Amos’s harmonica "in the fucking ground".
