Maggie, on the other hand, struggles with Gregory and Jesus in the episode over how to treat the Saviors they have shackled together at the Hilltop. Gregory, spineless to such a degree that almost any scene he’s in becomes unbearable to watch, suggests keeping the Saviors outside and starving them. In response, Jesus takes matters into his own hands and gives out fruit to the prisoners. Unhappy with either solution, Maggie eventually decides to let the prisoners live, and moves forward with the development of a Hilltop prison that will be built within the community walls.
The compromise could quite easily go south in a violent and predictable way, but I’m desperately hoping showrunner Scott Gimple proves me wrong and actually uses the moral exercise to say something about the human condition beyond “doing the right thing comes with necessary risk.” The Walking Dead talks a big game about the moral quandaries of a post-apocalyptic world, but it rarely follows through. Hopefully this subplot will be different.
