The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 7 "Heads Up"

You honor the dead by going on.

We see Glenn fall and the zombies pull Nicholas apart with Glenn trapped underneath. Glenn crawls under the dumpster that is surrounded by zombies. The zombies grab at him. He uses his knife to stab them. Zombies start to wander away from the dumpster. There seems to be a sound distracting them. Glenn has only a bit of water in a water bottle. Now it is night time and only a few zombies remain. The next morning Glenn crawls out from under the dumpster. No zombies in site. He drinks the last bit of water and looks for another weapon. He finds a gun. Enid throws a bottle of water down to Glenn. He goes after her. He asks her what she is doing out there. She tells him there is another water bottle in the corner and that he should take it and go. Glenn drinks the water and looks down on a blanket where empty cans litter the floor. He asks her what happened in Alexandria. "What happened is what always happened. People died." He asks if the herd broke through the walls. She says the horn was caused by people and he should go. He asks if Maggie is okay. No reply. He runs through the building looking for Enid. She runs away from him. He chases after her.

Rick walks along the walls of Alexandria. Morgan practices his aikido moves. Rick wants to talk to Morgan. Morgan agrees but doesn't seem happy about it. Rick finds the spot in the wall where the blood seeped through. Rick goes up the watchtower where he finds Maggie keeping watch. She wants to be there to look for a signal from Glenn. He tells her that, "When you go out there, it's never easy it's never simple. It's always a fight. We've come back from harder things, from further away." He tells her maybe they should look for a way to guide the walkers away so the others can come back in a cleared path. She mentions that Judith is starting to look like Lori. Glenn walks down an alley and finds David's body. Zombie David turns to him. Glenn stabs him in the head. He finds the note that David wrote and takes it with him. He heads back the way he came instead of going over the fence. Father Gabriel posts a note on the gazebo that reads "Prayer circle by the solar panels today at 1:00." Rick tears it down. Gabriel puts another note back up. Rick shows Ron how to use a gun. Carl tells Ron he is going to be scared. Rick tells him he has to get the gun up to his eye. Carl tells him he has to be strong enough to wait for your moment. Ron asks to hold the gun. Rick tells him to keep the gun (without bullets) so he can get a feel for it. Ron wants to practice shooting zombies but Rick doesn't want to attract them with the sound. Ron suggest several different ways to practice but Rick isn't having any of it. Ron says he just wants to learn more. Carl says he will and Ron just gives him a dirty look in response.

Morgan walks over to the hospital. Denise opens the door and offers him so oatmeal. Denise offers him help but he hesitates. Rick walks by and asks Morgan to talk. Back at Rick's house Rick tells Morgan about the wolves attacking him at the RV. And that Carol told him that Morgan wouldn't kill any of them. Carol asks Morgan if he let any of the wolves go and he says yes. Michonne says nothing. Morgan says he didn't want to kill people. He asks Rick why he didn't kill him back in episode "clear." Because Rick let him live he was there to help Aaron and Daryl. Maybe if he hadn't the wolves wouldn't have come back. He doesn't know what is right anymore. He wanted to kill the wolves but he also knows that people can change. Because everyone sitting at that table (Rick, Carol, Michonne, and Morgan) has changed."All life is precious. That idea changed me. It brought me back and keeps me living." Michonne says it can't be that easy. But he doesn't want to let go of the idea that all life is precious. Morgan wants to know if they want him to leave Alexandria. No one says anything. Rick asks him if he can make it in this world without getting blood on his hands? Morgan doesn't know.

The burnt out building hit by the truck that is next to the wall of Alexandria is falling apart. Rick talks to Michonne about drawing away the zombies. He wants to use his own people. Michonne says they are in Alexandria together. Catching their breaths right now. Anything else is just excuses. Deanna comes with her plans for the expansion. This will be for Alexandria after this. One way or another there will be an after this. Rosita teaches Alexandrians and Eugene how to use machetes to kill walkers. Rosita notices Eugene isn't practicing. She asks him what he is afraid of. He is afraid of dying. "Dying is simple. It all just stops. You're dead. The people around you dying, that's the hard part. 'Cause you keep living knowing that they're gone and you're still here. What you should be afraid of is living. Knowing that you didn't do everything you could to keep them here." An abandoned diner. A note that reads JSS on a table. Enid sits by herself. She looks out the door and sees several zombies. A bloody hand from behind covers her mouth. It is Glenn. He tells her he is taking her home. He asks why she gave him water. "I had it and you needed it." He is doing this for Maggie. Maggie would not leave Enid behind. She says no and pulls a gun on him. Oh no you didn't, little girl.

Glenn tells her to give him the gun. She tells him to turn around and walk away. He grabs the gun from her. He tells her that half the herd broke off and is headed towards Alexandria. He tells her to lead the way. Rick is reinforcing the wall. Tobin helps him.  Tobin thinks they could build up a brace on the wall. Enid and Glenn come upon to green balloon markers. She grabs the balloons so she can distract the zombies. Glenn tells her there is a helium tank, balloons, and string hidden in the shrubs. Tobin notices the blood seeping through the walls. Tobin tells Rick that he (Rick) scared people when he first came to Alexandria. Turns out Rick was right. Things started to move too fast. "But don't give up on us." Glenn asks who Enid stayed with back home. She refuses to refer to Alexandria as home. She lived with Olivia but she was on her own. Orphaned by walkers. Glenn says he was also probably orphaned by walkers. She responds, "It's just what happens." He tells her that she is scared of losing anything again which is why she says that. Glenn lectures her, "You honor the dead by going on. Even when you're scared. You live because they don't get to. You think your parents wanted you waving a gun around because you're afraid?" She says, "We don't have to talk." Olivia hears a sound in the pantry. Ron knocked some cans over to distract her. He goes to the armory and steals some bullets. Because he is an idiot teenager. No good will come from this.

Glenn and Enid make it to Alexandria. They see it is surrounded by zombies. Enid walks back towards the woods. Glenn tells her stop. "What's the point? The world is trying to die. We're supposed to just let it." Glenn tells her she is wrong. He is not going to let her die. He is no longer doing this for Maggie. He points out that the wall and the houses are still up. They will find a way. Tobin and Rick see someone crossing over the wall on a wire. It is Spencer. Tara and Eugene see him too. The line is slipping. His legs fall of the wire. Tara tells Eugene to have Maggie and Rosita fire their guns from their posts. The line breaks and Spencer falls. Tara shoots at the zombies and Rick pulls Spencer up over the wall with Tobin and Morgans' help. Rick yells at Tara for risking her life for "these people." She flips him off. Rick asks Spencer what he was doing. Spencer was trying to get to a car to drive the zombies away from Alexandria. Rick tells him that he should have come to him with his idea. Spencer counters with, "Would you have listened?"

Morgan walks into the hospital. Denise asks if everything is okay. He says everything is fine. He asks about their stocks of antibiotics. He wants to find out how to dress a wound but doesn't know if it is infected. He tells her he didn't want to get her involved in something she might not want to get involved in. It is not his wound. We see Carol holding Judith on the porch. She sees Morgan and Denise leave the hospital and she follows them. She goes to Jessie's house and asks her to watch Judith. Sam calls to Carol. He still won't come down. He asks if the people that came were the monsters. Did his dad turn into one of the monsters? If you kill people do you become a monster? Killing is the only thing that keeps you from becoming a monster. Carol unlocks the door to the cell and asks Morgan who he has in the cell. Carl walks down the street and Ron follows him. Ron grabs his gun. Michonne looks at the plans Deanna made for Alexandria.

The burnt building continues to crumble. Tara asks Rick and Tobin if they have seen Denise. Rick goes after Tara and apologizes. He asks if she did it because she wasn't thinking about it. She says they are stuck with each other. Deanna thanks Rick for saving Spencer. He tells her what Spencer did was stupid. She says at least her tried. Rick says he could have used the the gap Spencer created and gotten into a a car and led the herd away but he didn't. She asks why. He saved Spencer because he is her son. She replies, "Wrong answer." Maggie looks out and sees the green balloons fly by. She knows is it a sign from Glen. She runs towards the gate. The burnt out tower comes crashing down on the wall bringing it down.

Final Thoughts
- I am so happy that Glenn is alive. I was hoping he would be but I was prepared for the worst. I am hoping he will stay alive a while longer but you never know on this show. They could kill him off by the end of the season.
- I'm glad that Glenn stepped up as a father figure for Enid in this episode. She really needs an adult to fit into that role. Obviously Olivia wasn't the best choice since she didn't seem to notice that Enid was gone after the wolves attacked or act worried over Enid. Who knows if she even noticed all the times Enid went over the walls. Enid needed to hear everything Glenn told her. There is no room for teenage tantrums in the zombiepocalypse. She also needs a reason to live.
- What are we going to do with Spencer? He tries but he really doesn't know what he is doing. He needs to make friends with Tara or Rosita and learn a few things before he tries to be a hero.
- How long before Carol kills the wolf that Morgan has hidden? She already knows of his existence. For the moment he might be safe since she will have zombies to deal with now that part of the wall is down.
- Will we lose a main character when the zombies invade Alexandria? How many Alexandrians will be left by the end of the season?
- Will Ron actually shoot Ron? SPOILER ALERT: In the comics Carl loses an eye when the zombies invade Alexandria. Could they use Ron as a way to have that story line in the show?
