* AdaptationDistillation: The beating of Lydia is an adaptation of a scene in the comics in which Sophia is nearly beaten to death by a bunch of Hilltop boys, with Carl responding by nearly beating them to death in return. Lydia obviously fills Sophia’s role (with Daryl taking the place of her adoptive parental figure from the absent Maggie), and Negan actually takes Carl’s place as her unapologetic defender.



* TheChainsOfCommanding: Michonne confides in Ezekiel that ever since Rick’s death, she’s felt unbearably alone as leader and overwhelmed by the pressures of going it alone.



* DeathByAdaptation: In the comics scene that the attack on Lydia is adapted from (see AdaptationDistillation), none of Sophia’s assailants were actually killed, with Carl merely beating them within an inch of their life. Here, Negan actually kills Margo, though he didn’t mean to (and is still not sorry about it).



* FriendToAllChildren: Negan has taken a shine to a third child in Lydia, and immediately goes to her defense when she’s being beaten.



* MythologyGag: Michonne and Ezekiel shoot down the idea of a relationship, and the latter even notes that it might’ve worked “in another universe”. This is a reference to how in the comics, the pair of them were a couple for much of the middle of the series.

* NeverTrustATrailer: The SDCC trailer that showed the kiss between Michonne and Ezekiel suggested that the pair would become an item as they did in the comics. This episode shows the kiss and the characters shortly afterward rejecting the idea of love between them.


Added DiffLines:

* TokenEvilTeammate: Conversely, the Highwaymen solidify themselves as this amongst the allied communities as of this episode. Their apparent leader Margo regards the late Ozzy’s fair ways with disdain and was prepared to kill a young girl, and her friend is no better.
