At the 17 second mark of the promo you can see Jadis alongside Rick on the ASZ guard post preparing for Negan's arrival. Guess we'll finally see what Jadis' group is capable of against Negan. I'm honestly not expecting much from them b/c they seem like pawns in this fight.

 

[Rowsdower!]

They'll probably betray Rick and the group. Someone told Negan that he's up to something, and they're really the only wild cards in this situation. Ezekiel and his people may have been reluctant to join the fight but they're not bad guys and I don't see them ratting out Rick. Gregory is a little sh** but I don't think he knows about Rick's resistance plan. So that leaves Jadis and the Garbage Pail Kids.

And we need a cliffhanger for the end of the season. So probably Rick will give the order to start killing the Saviors and Jadis will turn the guns on him instead.

 

[Elevator Man]

Yeah I've been speculating that they'll betray Rick for the guns, but never thought about them possibly joining Negan. If that happens I hope the Saviors wipe them out afterwards. Just to show how miniscule of a threat they are. The Junkyard group brings little to nothing to the story, imo. I never trusted any of them since their introduction, which was baffling why Rick would so easily. Normally it takes some time for new people/groups/communities to earn his trust e.g. Michonne (back in Season 3), ASZ community, Gabriel, etc. I know he was desperate for recruits but unlike the ASZ, the Hilltop, and the Kingdom he never questioned the junkyard group's skills and capabilities. Rick will look like an idiot if Jadis betrays him b/c she's obviously deceitful. She also has an ulterior motive joining a fight she and her group doesn't have any stake in.

I think Rick was so desperate for allies he wasn't as careful as he normally would have been.

 

[Sithborg]

Not Easy Street? Booooo

They are going to give her [blackout]Holly's[/blackout] death.

Damn good start. So many great scenes.

Yup, there's the betrayal.

[squeekness]

Well, crap.

The tension!!!

 

[squeekness]

Holy crap for reals!

 

[Sithborg]

HAHAHA, that was great. And clearly, the trash crazies would've been terrible allies in a fight.

Damn, Rick got shot.

 

[Slick]

Holy ****

 

[rashad]

Oh my damn!!!

 

[terry78]

It was a sacrifice play, and she made it.

 

[squeekness]

It was a sacrifice play, and she made it.

Let's just hope it pays off and isn't wasted.

 

[Sithborg]

She did get one Savior.

 

[squeekness]

Where is Carol and the Kingdom?

 

[squeekness]

There she is.

 

[Sithborg]

Ok, that was the greatest thing ever.

 

[rashad]

Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rashad]

This might be one of the series ALL-TIME Best episodes.

 

[Sithborg]

Thank god they aren't cheapening out on Tiger SFX like AGOT does with direwolves.
