Aaron finds and kills a boar that was locked inside a room (he has no choice after it attacks him), and they stumble upon a bottle of rare, expensive whiskey, so they have a fancy dinner \u2014 well, at least by apocalypse standards. The more they drink and play cards, the more Gabe talks. He reveals to Aaron that despite his conviction in his faith and his desire to get back to preaching the gospel, he now believes evil people are \u201cthe rule, not the exception.\u201d Oh, and Aaron discovers that night that Gabe snores something awful, which leads him to go outside to relieve himself.

The next morning, Gabe discovers his friend isn\u2019t in his makeshift bed. In searching the warehouse for him, he stumbles upon another survivor (played by guest star Robert Patrick). He asks what they had to eat \u2014 Gabe tells him about the boar \u2014 and he asks if he could have some. From there, things escalate quickly. Turns out, the guy lives in the warehouse and he\u2019s none too pleased Aaron and Gabriel broke into his house and killed his pet. He fires a few shots of his shotgun to make his point clear, then he hauls a tied-up Aaron out of a back room and places him across a table from Gabe.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping his shotgun trained on them, the guy takes out a pistol and places one round in it, then puts it on the table between them. He explains the rules of his game: Aaron and Gabriel must take turns picking up the pistol and firing it. They can choose to either aim the pistol at themselves or at their friend. And if they refuse to fire it, the guy will kill them both.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron and Gabriel are forced to pick up the pistol and press it to their temples. The first round of the \u201cgame\u201d sees them both safe, but on Aaron\u2019s second go, the weapon makes a different sound; \u201ca round clicking into the chamber,\u201d their captor sneers. He taunts Aaron by asking him if he really wants to aim at himself, but Aaron\u2019s too good, too kindhearted to take someone else\u2019s life so his can continue. He presses the gun to his head, his finger winds around the trigger, and\u2026<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_990888\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-990888\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-990888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/TWD_1019_JS_1020_00700_RT-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"the walking dead season 10 episode 19 one more robert patrick mays\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/TWD_1019_JS_1020_00700_RT-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/TWD_1019_JS_1020_00700_RT-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/TWD_1019_JS_1020_00700_RT-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/TWD_1019_JS_1020_00700_RT-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/TWD_1019_JS_1020_00700_RT-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/TWD_1019_JS_1020_00700_RT.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-990888\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Josh Stringer\/AMC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"An_Unexpected_Offer\"><\/span>An Unexpected Offer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cStop!\u201d the man yells, swatting the weapon away from Aaron. He continues bellowing, telling them that \u201cthis is who people are now\u201d and that they shouldn\u2019t forget how foul humanity has become. Turns out, his faith in people was annihilated when his brother, who he\u2019d been living with after the world ended, turned on him and started stealing his food. He had to \u201ctake care of it\u201d (meaning, presumably, he killed his brother and earned the scars on the side of his face in the process).<\/p>\n<p>After hearing his story, Aaron and Gabe offer him a place in the community. They seem to believe he can be rehabilitated if he sees there are still good people in the world. The man accepts, and Gabe gets up to gather his things. While he\u2019s gone, the man introduces himself to Aaron. \u201cMy name is Mays,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly Aaron\u2019s covered in blood. Gabe had gone to retrieve Aaron\u2019s metal arm with a morning star attached to the end, and he bludgeons Mays to death with it. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t bring him back,\u201d Gabe tells a shocked Aaron, who doesn\u2019t seem convinced.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One_More\"><\/span>One More<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Well, it turns out Gabe was very, <em>very<\/em> right. They explore the warehouse a little more and find Mays\u2019 living space. He didn\u2019t kill his brother: he chained him up next to the corpses of his wife and child. Understandably, his brother\u2019s utterly traumatized. Aaron and Gabe free him, but he kills himself and dies embracing his family\u2019s remains.<\/p>\n<p>Having witnessed such horror, Aaron and Gabe leave the warehouse and discuss whether they\u2019re going to continue looking for food. They come to the conclusion that they\u2019ll search the last place on the map: \u201cOne more.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Observations\"><\/span>Other Observations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>I liked this episode the best out of all the \u201cbonus episodes\u201d <em>TWD<\/em> has aired so far.

They\u2019ve been doing the \u201cpeople can still be good!\u201d thing for several seasons now, and Gabe\u2019s big speech to Mays has been said in similar words so, so many times before.<\/li>\n<li>Mays\u2019 brother still being alive was a good twist, though. I was shocked when they offered him a place in Alexandria, and then relieved when they never brought him there.
