She starts to pull out a gun, clearly intent on using it against Huck. Meanwhile, “the asset” earlier cracked the CRM code the group found a few episodes ago and realized the organization said everyone besides her is expendable, and that Huck’s in on it. Huck sends her transmission to CRM that she does, in fact, have “the asset.” He reaches Huck, who - surprise! - won’t be coming back for him, as Percy awakens and tells Elton she’s the one that shot him. He manages to subdue or kill all of the walkers by himself, a huge triumph for him - and a regular Tuesday for Carl Grimes ( Chandler Riggs), Enid ( Katelyn Nacon), Alicia Clark ( Alycia-Debnam Carey) or any other of his similarly aged post-apocalyptic counterparts.Īnyway, Elton knows they need help, and he jumps on the radio to try to get ahold of his friends. Hallucination-Percy says, again, that he needs to let him go. Well, predictably, Elton ends up surrounded by walkers with an unconscious Percy. Elton won’t abandon him, partially because he wants to be better than his mother and is having a hard time coping with the whole she-shot-Iris-and-Hope’s-mom thing. ![]() “I’m already dead,” he tells Elton on several occasions, trying to get him to save himself. He guides Elton to discover he was shot, not stabbed with a huge wrench, so it seems doubtful Silas (Hal Cumpston) is guilty of anything other than being an angsty teenager who had to watch the girl he likes develop feelings for someone else.Įlton makes Percy a poultice and drags him along - literally - for the journey, but hallucination-Percy just ain’t feeling it. Percy himself doesn’t do much talking, but Elton’s vivid hallucinations of him sure do. Meanwhile, Elton (Roger Dale Floyd) stumbles upon Percy ( Ted Sutherland), who’s in a bad way. We chat with Cudlitz, who played Abraham Ford, about behind behind the camera for two out of three 'Walking Dead' shows. The duo head out on their own, leaving Iris and Felix to survive on their own. (Oh, Iris has already pegged Huck for a traitor, a sentiment Hope doesn’t seem to share). She’s serious about finding her dad, and she knows Felix will slow them down. But, in the middle of the night, Hope goes up to Huck and asks her to leave with her. Iris still refuses to leave him and it seems they’ll all remain with Felix. Yeah, that’s not suspicious at all.Ĭonclusions are reached: Felix wants the group to continue on without him, and he tells them as much. Everybody looks for supplies to fix the truck and/or Felix, and they look in every room except for one Huck says is filled with dead bodies. “Sometimes I wish I had a map to figure you out,” she tells her sister. Well, they can keep going, as Hope ( Alexa Mansour) notes, and not take Felix, but Iris ( Aliyah Royale) refuses to listen to that kind of talk. If 'Mercy' hammers home the fact that Rick's tenure as group leader is drawing to an end, these scenes underline it.They manage to fight ‘em off, but Felix’s ( Nico Totorella) ankle is injured badly enough that they can’t proceed with the mission. Details are drip-fed to viewers: he's still living with girlfriend Michonne (Danai Gurira), son Carl (Chandler Riggs) as well as baby-no-more Judith. ![]() His hair is greying, and he's hobbling around with a cane while wearing a dressing gown - a leader no more. It’s this which subtly injects the episode with reasons to keep you watching, touching upon the fate of Grimes - the show’s hero - with a series of ambiguous scenes that will no doubt emerge as the episode’s biggest talking point: flashforwards (or are they dream sequences?) show an older version of the character at an unspecified time in the future. While paying homage to past seasons with callbacks to scenes from far simpler early days (it’s been 100 episodes, after all), 'Mercy' is refreshingly far more versed in where these characters are headed as opposed to rehashing the reasons why they're at war with the Saviours. Has everything been building to this premiere? Perhaps not, but it certainly feels like the series has been bolstered by a renewed sense of purpose since leaving screens in March.
