The show has always flirted with the idea that its heroes are no better than the villains they’re fighting, but “TWD” always winds up justifying their often-outrageous behavior because, well, they’re the protagonists. Lydia claims responsibility and locks herself up in Negan’s cell, landing an extremely accurate burn - that when Alexandrians are scared, they turn their anger on anyone but themselves. Of course, that’s all rendered moot when someone releases Negan and he disappears. Negan (apparently busy doing Night Chores) rushes to Lydia’s aid, but accidentally murders the lady Highwayman in the process, which kicks off a pretty silly debate over whether Alexandria should execute Negan for murder. Gage and his pals accost Lydia one night and try to convince her to run away, but things predictably turn violent, and the three start beating a pleading Lydia in an effectively uncomfortable turn. And even more pressure gets put on Daryl when Michonne points out that Lydia’s presence in Alexandria is most likely what’s keeping Alpha from committing more violence. When she turns to her father figures for help, Negan and Daryl (Norman Reedus) both offer nothing beyond platitudes Negan suggests killing them with kindness, while Daryl pulls out the classic, “Can’t you just avoid them?” It’s honestly compelling to watch these two gruff loners struggle with the responsibility of guardianship and coming up short.
