Anne and whoever is piloting the helicopter have saved Rick's life, as he would surely have died on the banks of that river if not for her involvement, but they've also taken him away from it.

We don't know quite how far he's gone, but assumedly it's beyond walking distance from Alexandria and the other communities. Given how this entire episode was centred on Rick trying to find his family, then is he going to try to get back to them? The time jump has taken the show forward six years, and Rick won't be there, so how's it going to address the time in between and his struggles to get back, because there's no way the Rick we know would accept just letting everyone go if he's alive.
