History Recap / TheWalkingDeadS06E01FirstTimeAgain

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: It hits several characters.
** Rick is proven right about how people who have lived in the safety of Alexandria without training to fight walkers would make them incapable of handling them when the time came. This is proven in both a flashback along with how Carter was incapable of taking down one walker on his own before getting bitten.
** While Gabriel is not banished for betraying Rick's group nor does Rick bring it up directly, Rick makes it clear that Gabriel's betrayal will not be forgotten even if he has made peace with some members of the group.
** Despite the death of Pete, Jessie is not about to go running into Rick's arms and clearly wants some distance from him despite recognizing he's right about having to learn to survive.

Eugene goes to get supplies later on, and inadvertantly walks in on Carter attempting to lead [[TheCoup a coup]] against Rick with Tobin, Francine and several others. Carter pulls out a gun and intends to shoot him before Rick, Daryl and Morgan arrive. Rick disarms Carter and affirms in no uncertain terms [[BadassBoast that no one is going to take the community from them]]. He lets Carter go after the man admits it was his idea, and tells him he has to work to help the group survive.

** First, Morgan and Rick are out in the woods, burying Pete when they here something that turns out to be a quarry filled with thousadns of walkers, barely contained by parked semis.
** As they're preparing for their big pusch to clear the walkers out of the area, the group finds their hand forced when one of the semis falls off a cliff, freeing the walkers and launching the plan.

* TheReveal: The reason why Alexandria has had very few walkers to deal with is because thousands of them have been corralled in a large quarry for the past few years, thanks to a few survivors barricading themselves in with the use of several 18-wheelers.

* ForWantOfNail: Had Rick and Morgan not have discovered Ron getting attacked by that one Walker, they never would've come across the quarry full of Walkers.

* HazyFeelTurn: Rick spent much of the previous season on the cusp of (if not completely within) VillainProtagonist. This is brought to the fore in his interactions with Morgan, who has returned to a LighterShadeOfGray, almost messianic territory. Over the course of the episode, though, it appears that Morgan is a good influence on Rick. In the flashbacks, he gets Rick to back down from outright killing Carter when he finds the latter plotting against his group. In the present, Rick doesn't immediately kill a badly bitten Carter, but instead tries to get him to be quiet before finally putting him out of his misery.

* SpottingTheThread: Morgan immediately figures out that Carol isn't what she seems, and he points out to her that he notices how she watches people like a hawk and always looks like he's prepared.
