When Carl is told that is was Sebastian who killed his father, he doesn't get angry and demand revenge. Rick's speech inspires The Commonwealth just as he has inspired countless others before, and soon, change is inevitable.Īnd yet, there is a glimmer of hope in Carl's reaction to his father's murder. Rick tells them that he used to believe savagery was the only to way to survive in this world, but that he has since come to believe there's a better, more civilized way. And in an inversion of an earlier speech, Rick yells to the gathered crowd - " We are NOT the Walking Dead!" - putting a positive spin on what was previously his bleak outlook. He implores them all to seek a better future, one that learns from the mistakes of the past and doesn't allow for only a select few to rule over the many. In the end, Rick stops a full-blown war from breaking out and gives a rallying speech. Unsurprisingly, The Commonwealth's inequality leads to unrest - something that was already brewing before Rick and his people came there, but is only exacerbated by Rick's galvanizing presence. However, rather than stoking the fires of revolution, Rick desperately tries to keep the peace between Governor Pamela Milton and her rebelling citizenry. This community is much larger and more advanced than Alexandria or Hilltop, but they've only managed this thanks to their heavily stratified society of haves and have-nots. Rick's death, sadly, is a result of the world he's been building, stemming from his recent interceding in the affairs of another community - The Commonwealth.
