2
3!Season 6, Episode 10
4
5----
6* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, Jesus's real name is "Paul Monroe". It is changed to "Paul Rovia" in the series to avoid interpretations that he might be related to Deanna and the rest of the Monroe family.
7* ApologeticAttacker: Jesus as he steals the truck.
8-->'''Jesus:''' Sorry!
9* [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie And Then Deanna Was A Walker]]: Deanna was not devoured by the walkers and instead turned.
10* BackForTheDead: Downplayed, because she was already dead. Deanna shows up in the forest and Spencer [[MercyKill ends her suffering]].
11* BackToBackBadasses: Rick and Daryl keep Jesus on his toes every time they clash. However...
12* BadassBoast. Jesus only needs one word.
13--> '''Jesus:''' Best not to try anything.
14--> '''Daryl:''' Best not to make threats you can't keep, either.
15--> '''Jesus:''' Exactly
16* BadassPacifist: Jesus nearly steals Rick and Daryl's supply truck without hurting them at all.
17* BigDamnKiss: After hefty amounts of ShipTease, Rick and Michonne ''finally'' admit their feelings to each other with a passionate kiss. Coitus ensues.
18* BreatherEpisode: This is the lightest episode of the series with the characters never really being in any sort of danger the entire episode (barring Daryl's close call with a lone walker). It's a necessary comedown from the previous episode, a WhamEpisode with several deaths.
19* CharacterDevelopment: Several changes are highlighted in this episode.
20** Rick, Carl, Michonne, and Judith have truly become a family.
21** Maggie is very kind and motherly to Enid, as a good sign that she'll be a good mother to her and Glenn's baby.
22** At the beginning of the season, Rick refused to keep searching for recruits to Alexandria while Daryl was for it (albeit as a way to escape the town). Here, Rick is warm towards the idea of recruiting while Daryl has turned against it.
23* CompositeCharacter: Enid appears to be taking Sophia's place as Glenn and Maggie's adopted daughter.
24* ContinuityNod:
25** Spencer is searching for the undead Deanna, who wasn't devoured by the zombies in "Start to Finish."
26** Enid has lost her taste for walks outside the walls of Alexandria, which she previously enjoyed last season.
27** Daryl is unwilling to search for new recruits to Alexandria after losing his crossbow and bike to Dwight, who screwed him over despite going out of his way to help him.
28** Rick and Daryl's friction over recruiting new survivors in "First Time Again" is brought up and reflected on.
29** As stated in Season 5, Michonne has quite the appreciation for good dental hygiene.
30* ADayInTheLimelight: Spencer takes the spotlight in this episode.
31* DecompositeCharacter: Michonne has taken Andrea's place as the woman who becomes Rick's SecondLove after the deaths of Lori and Jessie.
32* {{Determinator}}: There's nothing stopping Rick, Daryl, and Jesus from fighting over a truck full of supplies.
33* EscapeArtist: Jesus manages to escape being tied up by Rick and Daryl in a matter of seconds.
34* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his first episode, Jesus proves himself to be intelligent, crafty, agile, and very badass when he goes toe to toe with Rick and Daryl.
35* FauxSymbolism: Lampshaded InUniverse. Daryl doesn't get why Paul Rovia nicknames himself Jesus and why it's significant.
36* {{Foreshadowing}}: Rick notes that Jesus is too well-groomed to be out all by himself. Possibly implying that he has a safe zone.
37* GoodVersusGood: Rick and Daryl versus [[BadassPacifist Jesus]].
38* HappilyAdopted: Carl more or less says that Michonne has become his second mother and he loves her too much to ever allow her [[MercyKill to become a walker]] (or that he'd be the one to put her down if she did, like he did with Lori).
39* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: It's hard to get a fix on Jesus as he goes from being civil to Rick and Daryl one moment to trying to steal their stuff the next. Even in the midst of a struggle, however, he still warns Daryl about a walker closing in and shoots it before it can bite him, further calling his allegiance into question.
40* ItMakesSenseInContext: Be honest, can you really say 'Jesus stole a supply van' without being dumbfounded?
41* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Michonne gives Carl hell about how he won't stay home, a complaint fans have had since the show's beginning (and something Creator/DanaiGurira was asked about at SDCC 2015).
42* LighterAndSofter: This is the lightest, goofiest episode of the entire series to date, even in regards to the episode's action. Chris Hardwick compared some of the zany moments to ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'' and expected Daryl to jump out of the window of the General Lee and Eugene to show up in his honky-dory Daisy Dukes.
43* LittleNo: Enid when she sees that the walker in the woods is Deanna.
44* MadeOfIron: Fighting hand-to-hand with Rick and Daryl and then being flung off a moving truck barely slows Jesus down. He then [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments leads them on a merry chase]] around the field before finally getting knocked out by a rogue truck door. And even that doesn't incapacitate him for long, either.
45* MercyKill: Spencer finds and puts down his mother Deanna.
46* MomentKiller: While Rick and Michonne are lying in bed, tenderly cuddling naked together, Jesus bursts in.
47* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Jesus accidentally causes the truck full of supplies to drive off into a river while fighting.
48* OfficialCouple: Rick and Michonne.
49* PragmaticHero: Jesus outwits Rick and Daryl when trying to steal their supplies. However, it's implied he's trying to take the supplies back to a safe zone of his.
50* RelationshipUpgrade: Rick and Michonne become an item after several seasons of ShipTease. Tara and Denise have also gotten together during the time skip.
51* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Jesus makes his debut in the second episode of the second half of Season 6.
52* SherlockScan: Rick and Daryl find Jesus's claims to be on his own suspicious since he's clean, his beard was trimmed, and he doesn't have a gun.
53* SorryToInterrupt: Averted. Jesus doesn't actually seem to be sorry for sneaking in Rick and Michonne's room.
54-->'''Jesus:''' ''[at katana and gun point]'' We should talk.
55* TheSneakyGuy: Jesus manages to steal Rick's car keys, climb on top of their truck, and escape from Denise's house and into Rick's house completely undetected.
56* TheTrickster: Jesus is one ''in spades''.
57* TimeSkip: Two months have passed in which Alexandria, under Rick's leadership, has largely recovered, as has Carl.
58* WeNeedADistraction: Jesus uses fireworks to distract Rick and Daryl while he steals their truck.
59* WhyWeCantHaveNiceThings: Rick and Daryl find a truck filled with months worth of supplies, but it gets stolen by Jesus. The three of them spend most of the episode chasing each other and fighting over it until the truck ends up being accidentally backed into a lake. Now all the supplies are useless to everyone.
60* WouldNotShootAGoodGuy: Rick and Daryl had many chances to kill Jesus, but they didn't because he was more an annoyance than anything, and even saved Daryl from a walker while he was trying to steal his vehicle.
