At first, it seems like he\u2019s Pope 2.0, but he\u2019s even crazier; he points out that the wall of skulls behind his guests are the heads of people who\u2019d wronged his group\u2026 and if Aaron and his friends are there to wrong them, they\u2019re next. Things escalate, and all of a sudden Aaron\u2019s do-gooder boss pulls out a gun and shoots all the guards with ease, and he also wounds Ian so that he can\u2019t escape.<\/p>\n<p>What?!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1036925\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1036925\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1036925\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-aaron-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"Ross Marquand as Aaron, The Walking Dead\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-aaron-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-aaron-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-aaron-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-aaron-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-aaron-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-aaron.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1036925\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Josh Stringer\/AMC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then we get a flashback to an earlier point in time, where Hornsby and Toby meet. Hornsby lays out the real mission, which Aaron and Gabe never knew about. They\u2019re really at the apartment complex to recover a shipment of weapons that Hornsby had sent out and lost, and he believes the warlords stole. At first, Toby refuses to do it: He\u2019s ex-CIA and likes being retired. Charmingly, Lance reminds him that \u201cthat can be taken from you.\u201d So, he goes.<\/p>\n<p>In the present, Toby takes Ian and tortures him for information about the guns, which the man insists they never had. Eventually, Toby shoots him and then mocks his corpse (yikes). Gabriel, who tried to stop him from torturing the guy, is kept under watch as he leaves\u2026 and Aaron follows him outside, where\u2019s he\u2019s just shot the guy who shows up at Hilltop at the start of the episode. Aaron tries to fight him, but they\u2019re interrupted by soldiers, and in the commotion, he escapes. Then when Toby gets back Gabe\u2019s gone, and the Commonwealth soldier guarding him is dead.<\/p>\n<p><em>What<\/em>?!?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1036926\" style=\"width: 865px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1036926\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1036926\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-gabriel-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"Seth Gilliam as Father Gabriel Stokes\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-gabriel-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-gabriel-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-gabriel-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-gabriel-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-gabriel-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/walking-dead-season-11-episode-13-gabriel.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1036926\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Josh Stringer\/AMC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then we get a flashback to Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) \u2014 yay! \u2014 who, as it turns out, is part of the Riverbend group and is friends with one of its people, a woman named Annie.

He plays this role so well; it was easy to believe him as the \u201cgood guy\u201d boss, but also as the ruthless CIA assassin. The Commonwealth is giving us some incredible bad guys!<\/li>\n<li><em>Also<\/em> excellent: Maggie\u2019s conversation with Lydia and Elijah in the car. \u201cThese people haven\u2019t been tested in ten years,\u201d she tells them. \u201cDo you want to be there when they are?\u201d While I don\u2019t necessarily agree with her decision-making at this point, this episode helped me understand why she\u2019s doing what she\u2019s doing, and I respect it.<\/li>\n<li>With Gabe\u2019s actions and prominence in this episode, and the fact that the midseason finale is called \u201cGod,\u201d I\u2019m concerned for him. I\u2019d rather he didn\u2019t die \u2014 he and Aaron make such a great duo.<\/li>\n<li>Hopefully, we get some flashbacks to reveal how Negan ended up with the Riverbend people. Maybe next episode.<\/li>\n<li>I\u2019ve seen the theory floating around that Leah (Lynn Collins) has the weapons, which I would believe. She was in the 11B trailer but we have yet to see her, and her having the weapons would be a good way to re-introduce her.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rating: 4.5\/5.<\/strong> The flashbacks were tough to follow at times, but \u201cWarlords\u201d is suspenseful, gritty and brings the darkness at the core of the Commonwealth to the forefront.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>The Walking Dead,<\/em> Sundays, 9\/8c, AMC<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
