The Walking Dead: Season 6 Episode 2 recap and review "JSS"

Last week The Walking Dead came back for the Season 6 premiere and we captured 90 minutes of our favorite show.  This week, the group was faced with things not going according to plan and some outsiders cause the most turmoil that Alexandria has seen yet.  One thing I love about this show is how it gets better and better as we progress and it was one of the best episodes yet.



Throughout this season and last we see how Carl has developed a close relationship with Enid.  At
the start of this episode we see her story and how she got to Alexandria.  We find out that her parents get killed by walkers while they are standing outside the car and is on the inside of the car.  She then watched them get eaten by the zombies as her life is ripped apart.  After that she is on the road for a while, and it is very obvious that she knows how to protect herself unlike some of the other teens at Alexandria.  Everywhere she went she wrote "JSS" on everything and we don't find out exactly what that means until the end of the episode.  We then see some of Carols conversations with some of the other women and how she has a way of putting them in their place in the nicest ways possible.  We then start to see some of Jesse's life troubles with her son Ron, and she attempts to cut his hair to try and talk to him and he knew exactly what she was doing and refused.  It is obvious that Ron is very angry and gets in an argument with his mom about being friends with Rick.  Jesse comes to Rick's defense and points out that Ron can't even raise his arms because his dad Pete had beat him so badly.  After the confrontation with Jesse and Ron we meet the new doctor at Alexandria who was in med school to be a surgeon and quit and went to be a psychology major due to having panic attacks.  At this moment in the episode I had a feeling we would need a doctor at one point in the episode.  Karl is then walking Judith when the priest approaches him and asks for his help defending himself, Karl doesn't think too kindly of him when he sees Ron and Enid starting to get close and hugging.  After this scene absolute turmoil breaks out in all of Alexandria when The Wolves come in and start slashing and killing everyone with machetes, knives, and baseball bats.  Most people who got hurt or killed were none of the main characters, most people who we hadn't even seen before this episode. Of course the worst problem that Alexandria experiences is while the people who are gone who are the best at fighting back.  Carol is the hero of the episode when she kills one of the wolves and then takes his clothing to throw off the rest of The Wolves.  Carol then comes across Morgan a few times who isn't big on killing them just making them leave, and Carol shoots them with a gun which did not make Morgan happy.  She then told Morgan they needed to get to the armory before The Wolves did before they lost all their weapons, and given The Wolves stronger weapons.  Deanna's son was in the watchtower when a semi comes crashing through the walls of Alexandria with a walker inside. This is what made the horn go off in the last episode, and it takes him a minute to get to the truck and then is freaked out by the walker.  Then Morgan comes rushing to the truck, kills the zombie and then turns the truck off.  The Wolves not only killed a lot of people, but they also put a huge damper in Rick's plans to steer the zombies strait for Alexandria by the horn being set off.  Later in the episode Morgan comes across the same Wolves that had tried to kill him in the woods along with some others.  He gives them a good beating with his stick and then tells them to leave and never come back.  Before they left one of The Wolves said to Morgan that they didn't choose this life.  I'm not sure that Morgan should be letting The Wolves go when they may just come right back and kill more people.  Enid ended up leaving at the end of the episode to go off on her own, and left a note saying "Just Survive Somehow" which gave us the title of this episode, JSS.  Could Neegan be behind The Wolves or someone else that is forcing them to live this life?  Will Rick and the group be able to save Alexandria by being infested by zombies?





This was an incredible episode, and I don't think it could have been any better.  I give this episode a 10 out of 10.  The character development and plot continues to amaze me with this show.  I love how the characters in this show are constantly changing in either good ways or bad ways as the show progresses.  This group is constantly changing and learning and leaning on each other for guidance and it couldn't possibly be a better group than it is now.  Stay tuned tonight for another action packed episode, and don't forget next weeks episode is 90 minutes long.
