4. Will Oceanside Join The Fight?

The inevitable has finally happened, with Rick and his crew rolling in and taking all the guns from Oceanside. It's quite a weird moment, not least because we're still supposed to think of Rick as the good guy despite this rather Negan-esque move, the fact Tara goes along with it (and flips the bird to a small child for good measure), and that the members of Oceanside actually thank them in the end.

It's that last part that leaves their ultimate fate up in the air, because many of them are ready and willing to strike back against the Saviours; certainly enough that they'd be useful in the battle.

It's also hard to imagine this is the last we'll see of Oceanside, with some unresolved issues there and at least one character (Cyndie) given a degree of prominence, so it's a matter of when, not if, they come back into the fold.
