The kids incapacitated Daryl and Michonne, tying them up and branding them with X’s. Jocelyn, we learned, had been training children as soldiers. Michonne and Daryl chased Jocelyn and the children down, tracking them to an abandoned school. What came next was one of the darkest moments in Walking Dead history-yes, including the time Negan bashed Glenn’s eyeball out.
And though the franchise has long made a habit out of drawing out cliff-hangers like this one, the resolution in this case wound up being singularly frustrating. She’s frequently made vague allusions to some horrible thing that happened in the recent past, but of course the series has refused to let viewers in on that dark history. Throughout Season 9, Michonne has been reluctant to let any strangers into Alexandria, or to allow the community to stick its neck out in pretty much any way. Unfortunately, it came in another episode marred by under-developed storytelling-a further sign of how far the show has fallen, and why skilled actors like Danai Gurira seem to be leaving it in droves. Since The Walking Dead’s Season 9 premiere last year, viewers have wondered what the scars on Michonne and Daryl’s backs might mean-and in Sunday’s episode, which toggled between flashbacks and the present, we finally got an answer. This post contains spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 9, Episode 14, “Scars.”
