There's an interesting development at the end of the episode - indeed, it's the most future plot heavy element here - with Jesus stowing away to find the Saviours compound, only to discover Carl doing the exact same thing.

They're going for different reasons - Carl for an assassination attempt, Jesus simply to find out where it is - but will surely now need to work together. Carl going to the Saviours location is taken from the comics, but Jesus tagging along for the ride adds an interesting wrinkle, and opens up a few questions.

We know the show is definitely not going to off Negan yet, so what will happen on this journey? Will Carl go ahead and attempt it, or can Jesus talk him into doing something different? Will the pair be trapped by the Saviours? It's an intriguing development, one that could help provide the story with some real momentum, and it's a good way to go out here.
