1. Morgan Vs Jesus

Another storyline continued from last week, the tensions over whether or not to kill the Saviours comes to a head between Jesus and Morgan. It's a role reversal of the latter's fight with Carol, as he's now the one wanting to kill, while Jesus has a newfound 'no execution' policy.

There are some logic gaps with how suddenly that's developed, and the show doesn't do much to convince us Jesus is right in what he's saying, but it makes for an entertaining showcase for two of the group's best fighters nonetheless.

The fight in the woods is fun to watch, since it's two people on the same side coming to blows for once. Lennie James, meanwhile, is once again great as Morgan struggles with his mental health issues.
