"The Walking Dead" took an interesting turn this episode after all of the chaos that occurred last week.

The opening scene was actually one of such a calm and innocent nature. Rick got dressed for his day as he listened to some oldies, Judith on the floor playing with her toys. Michonne stepped into the room in a robe and a towel wrapped around her hair asking for ... toothpaste? They giggled and joked with a light-hearted nature, like everything was completely normal. Carl’s eye is still healing, but he doesn’t seem to have any serious damage from his gunshot wound. It’s almost as if last week’s events occurred months ago, and everyone is all healed and good to go.

All hands are on deck to rebuild their town of Alexandria, and the overall morale is fairly high. Rick and Daryl set to go on a run, prompting everyone to hand out lists of goodies. Denise handed Daryl her list of necessities and miscellaneous materials, which included "pop," something that she thought Tara would appreciate. She seemed so nervous; is it because she’s a bit on edge from all horror that occurred, or is she crushing on our Daryl? If it’s the latter, she needs to back up because I think Carol and Daryl need to have a go before anyone else.

Eugene also handed them a list for agricultural supplies, but his weirdness was expected, of course. Each list came with a little side eye from Rick and Daryl that said, "You’re lucky this is my job." I loved how the humor was tied into this section of the episode; it was more than warranted!

Although everyone seems to be in good spirits, Enid is being haunted by something and has been for quite some time. Maggie inquire about Enid’s stinky attitude, but Enid stayed very mum about her state of mind, saying that she’d been nowhere. Maggie lets her know that there are better places for her to be than nowhere, and she’s part of the family. I hope that Enid takes her advice, because there’s no reason for her to feel so alone.

Rick and Daryl depart for their run, with Rick in a bubbly mood – so bubbly, in fact, that he throws on a few tunes for Daryl’s ears to bleed to. Rick mentioned the law of averages before they left and how they need to catch up on getting their balance. They come across a warehouse equipped with a fully-stocked truck of food. Jackpot! "Law of averages," said Rick smugly to Daryl as they close up the truck.

They spot a gas station along the way and stop to get some things out of the vending machine. As their rummaging, a man aggressively bumps into them. Rick and Daryl draw their guns on the stranger (as expected), and the stranger introduces himself as Jesus. Jesus claimed that he was a loner who was on the run from some walkers about 10 minutes or so out, but he was way too evasive with Rick and Daryl. Just as Rick observed that Jesus’s beard was too trimmed for him to be out in the wild, a loud crackle came from behind the gas station. Rick and Daryl investigate, only to find that the was a deliberate distraction while Jesus stole the truck with the keys he swiped from Rick’s pocket.

Meanwhile, Michonne was at her watchpost when she saw Spencer head into the woods alone. She followed him and noticed that he had a shovel strapped to his back; however, when she inquired about it, Spencer only told her that there’s something he needs to get done. Michonne recalled Deanna’s wise advice to figure out what she wants for her whole life; Michonne is still figuring it out, and maybe Spencer should do the same.

Despite Spencer’s urging her to go back home, Michonne continues to follow him into the woods because she doesn’t want him to die (obviously). Meanwhile, Carl and Enid also take a stroll through the woods. Enid seems agitated and asked Carl why they were out there, and Carl responded with, "We’re kids; it’s what we do." Enid insisted that they’re not kids anymore, but they’re still teenagers. They lost out on a traditional childhood thanks to the apocalypse, so it’s important that they hold on to some sort of adolescent normalcy.

As they sat in the woods, they noticed Spencer and Michonne in the woods, and that seemed like the final straw to make Enid not want to come out in the woods anymore. Just as she’s getting up, Carl spots a walker. We don’t see the walker’s face, but only a shot of the bottom half, where we see its leg wrapped up. Carl urged Enid to go home and then began to lead this mysterious walker through the woods. We know that the walker is someone important; did you see the surprise on Carl’s face?

Rick and Daryl are now tracking their stolen truck of goodies, and they certainly put in work! Rule number one of the zombie apocalypse: cardio. There’s also the rule of staying limber, but I simply can’t get into the rules of the apocalypse right now.

Anyway, Rick and Daryl come across the vending machine that was previously chained to the truck and are able to stop momentarily to get the soda for Tara. They push on, only to find Jesus changing the truck’s tire – the perfect time for an ambush! The only problem with this ambush was that, to their surprise, Jesus is a martial arts master and gives them a run for their money before being subdued. Rick and Daryl tie Jesus up on the side of the road and leave him with a can of soda.

As they’re driving along, they realize that they never left Jesus behind; in actuality, he was chilling out on the roof of the truck. Seriously, who is this guy? Rick brakes hard to get Jesus off the truck, and a chase ensues in a field. A few walkers were around, so Rick handled them as Daryl attempted to wrangle the wildman. Jesus tried to jump in the truck, Daryl tried to drag him out and Jesus ends up saving Daryl’s life by shooting a walker that was a few inches from inevitable doom. Daryl still drags Jesus out of the truck, and it rolls back as soon as he does. The result was Jesus being ran over, and the truck ended up in the bottom of a lake. Daryl gives out, "Law of averages ... bullsh*t man."

Back in the woods, Spencer finally tells Michonne that he has to do something before he feels at home. Just as he says that, we see Carl leading the mysterious walker in Spencer’s direction. We find out that the walker was, in fact, our dear old Deanna. Spencer knew he had seen her in the see of walkers back at Alexandria and knew that he had to lay her to rest. Michonne assured him that having love for his family means that he knows his way, and he still has a family and a home. By doing this, Spencer can hopefully get some peace of mind and begin his new life.

Michonne gets back home and finds Carl watching the stars with Judith. She confronted him about how dangerous his actions were; he should’ve killed her or left her alone. Carl said that he couldn’t kill her because it needed to be done by someone who loved her, and he would want the same for Michonne. No matter how cold-hearted Carl seems, he’s really one of the most compassionate people in the group.

Michonne makes her way inside and finds an exhausted Rick on the couch. They both sink into the couch with a long sigh after a long and complicated day. Rick presents her with some mints because he wasn’t able to get her spearmint or baking soda toothpaste. They laugh and hold hands – and then, IT happened. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Rick and Michonne got their grown on! I was wondering when this would happen because I’ve always thought that they had a unique bond from the moment they met. We’ll see what comes of this Richonne love match!

As Rick and Michonne lay entangled in bed, someone prompts Rick to wake up immediately. Both Rick and Michonne jump up and draw their weapons, their faces highly perplexed – and that was it! What an interesting ending to an even more interesting episode. This was the first time where the characters got a consistent sense of security, similar to that which they had pre-apocalypse. I seriously hope that this lasts, but you never know with "The Walking Dead."
