So Jesus isnt okay with killing any saviors who surrender but wasnt bothered about aiding and abetting Rick and co. preemptive strike in eliminating the saviors in their sleep at that satellite outpost a while back. I cant get behind his reasoning for this attitude, which came out of nowhere. I can understand Rick caring about some of the saviors' well being, whove surrendered, due to his revelation of killing that baby's father, who was trying to protect her from Rick. Keeping those Saviors alive will cause problems later, which is probably why there kept alive to stretch this war to fit 16 episodes.
Why did Maggie show mercy to Gregory? He was obviously lying or twisting the truth to save his own neck. She shouldve exiled him or just killed him right there because it wouldve been justified, imo. Gregory betrayed his community by going into cahoots with their oppressor Negan, which backfired for both of them. The Hilltop community have seen Gregorys true colors. Theyve pretty much disowned him. He also left Gabriel for dead. In fact, Maggie shouldve interrogated him more about what happened to Gabriel. And though Maggie was unaware of it but Gregory was contemplating stabbing her with that knife a couple episodes back from Season 7. Gregory is a lying, selfish, coward and now traitor, who doesnt bring anything of value to his or any community. He cant defend himself against the living or the dead. It has become more obvious how much of a liability Gregory is. This decision is right out of Glenns playbook of letting people live whove tried to kill or betray you. Remember Nicholas? We saw how that ended, which was badly. There isnt any reason to keep Gregory alive or around, but since Maggie let him live she shouldve set some ground rules e.g. having him earn his keep and contributing to the Hilltop. As well as if he betrays her and the Hilltop colony again she wont be showing anymore mercy for him. In the end its another inept decision thats going to come back to bite them later.

So after eight seasons they bring Morales back only to kill him five minutes later. Talk about a pointless and contrived return of a former character in the name of fan service because this side plot didnt add anything to the story. Except so thats what happened to Morales. The whole what happened to Morales fan theories was something I never cared about when it started. He was a minor character, who wasnt crucial to the overall series then or now apparently. So them briefly revisiting the character didnt get me excited at all. I wouldve preferred Gimple leaving his fate to my imagination after he took off with his family near the end of Season 1. I guess they felt this was a loose end that needed to be answered. It's funny that Daryl gave zero hecks about killing Morales. So why should the viewers care either about a minor character, who hasn't appeared since Season 1, getting killed?
