Well, it had to happen sooner or later (and the odds were always in 'sooner's' favour.

There was almost no way that Alexandria were going to march to war with Ezekiel and the Kingdom by their side (I mean, Rick would go for it, but the show was never gonna let it happen), and with just three episodes left after this one time was running out.

Although it doesn't fully sell the circumstances that lead to it, it is at least great to see that the pair of them have realised that a life of passivity will get them and everyone they care about killed, and that they do need to fight back against Negan and the Saviours. With this decision, the show (which has dragged its heels a lot this season) takes a big, necessary step forward towards this season's endgame and the war that should play out well into Season 8.
