The Walking Dead: The survivors train in Oceanside and Carol reunites with Daryl before an intense showdown with The Whisperer leader Alpha
Enemies Alpha and Carol came face-to-face in The Walking Dead's Season 10 premiere on Sunday, their first encounter since Alpha's group beheaded Carol's adopted son, Henry.
Her shaved head and dirt-smeared face showed up in the episode's last few seconds, but the bloody-minded Alpha (Samantha Morton) made her presence felt the entire show.
Michonne Hawthorne, Daryl Dixon, Carol Peletier and the other core survivors restricted their movements to avoid her territory, terrified after she executed their loved ones last season.

They moved to Oceanside, a motor court by the beach, to escape the wrath of The Whisperers, her murderous group, yet found themselves constantly running up against her land.
A Russian satellite fell out of the sky and exploded near their camp, setting the woods on fire, which forced them to back right onto her property.
'We can't do this,' said Magna (Nadia Hilker). 'We get caught on their side, that's it. That's war.'

Her friends ignored her and kept clearing the area, back-burning stray fuel and dousing flames until they ran out of water, and walkers approached them from all directions.
Closing ranks, they fought off the walkers seamlessly, shooting, stabbing and whacking them before more friends came running through the forest to join the fight.
But everyone worried they had risked their lives by encroaching on The Whisperers' territory.

'We made the right choice,' considered Aaron (Ross Marquand), looking around into the smoky, ruined forest. 'Maybe this buys us some goodwill. This helps them too.'
'We helped our people,' said Michonne (Danai Gurira). 'That's enough good for me for now.'
Their tactical training had served the group well; they spent that morning doing military exercises on the beach, armed with spiky shields, archery bows, swords, and other weapons.

Every time Ezekiel (Khary Payton) opened the door of a shipwrecked boat, walkers would pour out, giving the survivors a chance to attack them in different formations.
Even Judith Grimes (Cailey Fleming) got into the act, stabbing walkers and throwing spears at them as they emerged from the water or stumbled toward her on the beach.
'It's about to get real, y'all,' Michonne cautioned. 'Stay in your formations! Remember your training!'

Back at the camp, she joined Daryl (Norman Reedus) for a companionable walk, feeling good about the training and glad that they'd brought the kids to 'see the ocean for the first time.'
Judith and her brother RJ (Antony Azor) gathered with the other young ones, emptying their pails to find conchs, whelks, starfish—and the ripped-off face of a walker.
It sent the camp into a temporary panic, as it looked like something a member of The Whisperers would wear, which suggested that group was lingering in their area.

Aaron thought the kids had found it by a local estuary, and theorized that a river could have carried it to them from far away, driven by a recent storm.
He was still concerned, saying: 'Look, no one saw Alpha's herd move out, so maybe no one saw them move back in. If there's a mask, maybe there are other signs of them out there.'
Michonne led six survivors out on horseback to investigate, with everyone pairing up.

'Michonne, are we the good guys?' Aaron asked her, as they rode along together.
'I think about it a lot,' he offered. 'We're the villains of someone else's story—a threat to their survival. So dangerous they threatened to wipe us out. Makes you wonder sometimes.'
'I don't give a s*** about the Whisperers or where they stand,' Michonne retorted.
'I'm not just talking about the Whisperers,' Aaron replied.
Good guys: 'Michonne, are we the good guys?' Aaron asked her, as they rode along together
Whisperers: 'I'm not just talking about the Whisperers,' Aaron replied
He suddenly darted off after some walkers he saw on a bridge in the distance, which upset Michonne, who'd lost her love Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) in a similar situation.
She rode over to save Aaron from the walkers' grabbing hands, not entirely sure if they were real walkers or Whisperers wearing the walkers' skin.
'Well, that was stupid!' Michonne yelled after him as he strode off. 'We agreed not to cross their borders or to start anything without a reason.'

'If it was them, you could have died,' she pointed out. 'And if it wasn't them, you could have died. For what?'
'We've all been acting like this is normal,' Aaron explained. 'Holding our breaths for months. This isn't normal.'
'We have to keep our cool, or they win,' Michonne retorted.
'I've been keeping my cool my whole life,' Aaron emphasized. 'I've always been the nice guy. The good Samaritan. [But] I'm goddamn sick of being nice.'
'Well, good,' Michonne said. 'Cause nice never got me anywhere. But smart did.'
Died: 'If it was them, you could have died,' she pointed out. 'And if it wasn't them, you could have died. For what?'
Keep cool: 'We have to keep our cool, or they win,' Michonne retorted
'They have a nuclear weapon, and we don't,' she highlighted. 'It's not about being nice or good, or anything but keeping our people alive and not having them die over nothing.'
As the two of them circled back, Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura) drew their attention to a campsite with dead bodies and skeletons spread around, flies buzzing.
There was a human skin draped over a nearby log, which Aaron lifted with a stick, realizing that 'at least one of them has been on our side of the border at some point.'
Nuclear: 'They have a nuclear weapon, and we don't,' she highlighted. 'It's not about being nice or good, or anything but keeping our people alive and not having them die over nothing'

'Yeah, but when?' Yukiko asked. 'And what the hell happened here?'
Back at Oceanside, Michonne told Aaron she sensed what was coming next, noting: 'Fear is dangerous. It can drive us apart again. And we're gonna need to squash it before it starts.'
'But fear can also keep us safe,' Aaron said. 'I forgot that on the bridge.'
'I was telling you to be smart, not afraid,' Michonne replied. 'I've been thinking about what you said earlier—about who we've become. Who we are. And the truth is, we are the good guys.'
Good guys: 'I was telling you to be smart, not afraid,' Michonne replied. 'I've been thinking about what you said earlier—about who we've become. Who we are. And the truth is, we are the good guys'
'We have to choose to be the good guys, even when it's hard. And the minute that we start to question that, we lose sight of it. That's when the answer to that question starts to change.'
'And that's scarier than any skin mask.'
In the distance, Michonne heard Judith telling RJ the story of Rick's death, calling him The Brave Man and recalling how he walked to the bridge and led the walkers away.
Brave Man: In the distance, Michonne heard Judith telling RJ the story of Rick's death, calling him The Brave Man and recalling how he walked to the bridge and led the walkers away
'The Brave Man couldn't let the walkers reach his friends and hurt them, so he blew up the bridge and all the walkers fell into the water, and he saved all of his friends,' she said.
'Will he come back someday like the walkers?' RJ asked.
'No, not like that,' Judith admitted. 'But people like The Brave Man are never really gone anyway. He lives inside our hearts and makes us brave, too.'
Michonne approached and hugged them with tears in her eyes.
Not coming back: 'No, not like that,' Judith admitted. 'But people like The Brave Man are never really gone anyway. He lives inside our hearts and makes us brave, too'
'Mama, I didn't like when The Brave Man died. Why did he do that?' RJ asked.
'Well, there are some people that you love so much that you would do anything for them, just like I would do anything for you and for Judith,' Michonne explained.
'And my dad?' RJ asked.
'Yes. And your dad.'
As she hugged them, there was an explosion of bright light in the sky, like a meteor shower.

The perspective then shifted to Alexandria, where Eugene Blacknell and the Savonics' 1960s tune I'm so Thankful played over the radio.
In a classroom, Lydia (Cassidy McClincy) struggled to read and grew frustrated.
'You're picking it up so quick,' the teacher reassured her. 'You're a natural.'
'There's nothing natural about this,' retorted Lydia, Alpha's daughter.

Nearby, Rosita Espinosa (Christian Serratos) boxed a punching bag, then nursed her three-month-old baby, Coco.
Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt) also watched over Coco, even drawing up a feeding and diapering schedule for the baby's father, Siddiq (Avi Nash).
'Eugene, she's a baby, not a science experiment,' said Rosita.
Siddiq put the baby into her crib, and as he did so, had a flashback of the Whisperers, which led him to picture a spider in a web, an attack, and Alpha sitting with a bloodied knife.

He barely noticed when another doctor arrived.
Father Gabriel Stokes (Seth Gilliam) then went to see Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in his cell, teasing him that he didn't expect to see him there so early in the day.
'Yesterday, I was public enemy number one,' Negan began. 'Now? Well, now I'm the guy the picks the vegetables and takes out the trash. I'm okay with that. For now, at least.'

Negan was afraid he would become an outcast if war broke out between the groups, and urged Gabriel to make everyone feel more secure about what was happening.
Gabriel walked outside and told his crew to lock the gates and double up security—then he, too, saw the explosion, and Eugene running to radio Oceanside.
'Something of grave importance is about to happen,' Eugene relayed.

At Oceanside, Connie (Lauren Ridloff), who was deaf, ran into Daryl by the water. He had a sign language guide in his pocket, and she told him he signed 'with a Southern accent.'
Carol (Melissa McBride) arrived by boat and had an awkward encounter with Ezekiel, who told her she looked good. She acknowledged the compliment, then hugged Connie and Daryl.
'Did ya miss me?' she asked Daryl as he picked her up.

'Not really,' he joked.
He asked her if she'd been off looking for Alpha.
'No, honestly no,' Carol insisted. 'I tried to forget everything that happened. It was good. If we're lucky, we'll never have to think of those skin freaks ever again.'
She and Daryl went into the forest to kill walkers, and saw a deer, which she aimed at.
Miss me: 'Did ya miss me?' she asked Daryl as he picked her up
Forget: 'No, honestly no,' Carol insisted. 'I tried to forget everything that happened. It was good. If we're lucky, we'll never have to think of those skin freaks ever again'
'Stop,' Daryl said, thinking of Alpha. 'That's one of her borders.'
'Why are we still respecting borders we never agreed to when Alpha isn't ever here?' Carol sighed. 'Can we just forget about them already?'
Walkers set upon the deer, and then it was too late to retrieve it.
'That deer could have fed 200 people,' Carol noted.
Borders: 'Why are we still respecting borders we never agreed to when Alpha isn't ever here?' Carol sighed. 'Can we just forget about them already?
As they returned to Daryl's bike, he apologized for angering her, and asked her to stay on land with him, not return to the sea.
'Sorry if I didn't want my best friend to spend her whole life on a boat,' he said.
Carol joked that if they were besties, she should make them matching bracelets—plus a matching collar for Daryl's dog, Dog.
'Daryl, you ever wonder if this is all there is?' she suddenly asked. 'Just run into people, kill each other, until whoever's left says, 'Enough?'
Besties: Carol joked that if they were besties, she should make them matching bracelets—plus a matching collar for Daryl's dog, Dog
Apology: As they returned to Daryl's bike, he apologized for angering her, and asked her to stay on land with him, not return to the sea
Carol asked Daryl to sail away on a boat with her, or ride motorcycles with her out West.
'New Mexico,' he suggested.
'What the hell's in New Mexico?' she asked.
'People who weave bracelets,' he said, giving her his own.
'No more fighting,' Daryl considered. 'Just get on the bike and go. See who's left.'
'Sounds good to me,' Carol said, putting his bracelet on.
Bracelet: 'People who weave bracelets,' he said, giving her his own
They both heard the explosion, and looked up to see the satellite falling to the ground, which triggered the onset of the wildfires.
Later, after the fire was out, Eugene dug into the satellite to retrieve parts of it, and answered a question from Luke (Dan Fogler) about whether they were all irradiated.
'Certainly, there's radiation from space, but every one of us is already infected with some kinda nasty that changes us into epidermis Epicureans at the point of R.I.P.,' Eugene said.

Michonne waited for him to finish, and idly wondered, 'Where are Carol and Daryl?'
The two of them were climbing a rock together to overlook the valley below.
'You still wanna run away together?' Daryl asked her.
'Yeah, tomorrow,' Carol replied.

Valley: The two of them were climbing a rock together to overlook the valley below
'Look, I need you to stay,' Daryl begged. 'Just think about it. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to punch holes in all them boats.'
As Daryl walked off, Carol looked down into the divide separating their land from Alpha's.
Suddenly, on a distant rock, there she was: Alpha, shaking her head slowly, looking up to meet Carol's eyes.
The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 pm EST on AMC.
