Rick finally comes to learn of the existence of the Kingdom - and comes face-to-face with King Ezekiel - in Rock in the Road, providing the episode with one of its highlights.

Seeing the two leaders come together made for engaging viewing, with a sprinkling of humour from Rick's reaction to Shiva (and of course the odd joke from Jerry), but alas it was mostly for naught as Ezekiel shunned Rick's pleas for him to join the fight.

Surely, however, that won't last. In Richard, there's already at least one man on the inside desperate to take on the Saviours, and he now has a like-minded comrade since Daryl is staying there. Eventually members of the Kingdom will join the battle, it's just a question of when, and if/how/when Ezekiel will be going along with them.
