Dead City Season 3, Episode 3 is finally moving forward, and things are getting WILD! Diana and Renee break down the arrival of new groups, Maggie and Renata's growing leadership dynamic, Negan and Dillard's unexpected friendship, and Dillard's increasingly disturbing connection to the walkers.
Then there's the hospital chao, walkers, emergency surgery, an oxygen tank fire, and way too much for one doctor to handle! We also dig into the writing, including some rushed story beats and missed emotional moments, and debate whether Maggie and Renata made the right call sending out their signal.
Plus, we answer a listener's question about the biggest "good intentions gone wrong" mistakes in The Walking Dead universe, discuss the episode's themes of trust, survival, leadership and building a community, and finish with our rapid fire, predictions and recommendations.
What do YOU think is happening with Dillard? Is he really hearing the walkers?
