Michonne (Danai Gurira) has been largely missing in “The Walking Dead” Season 9 lately, but she will return in a big way in episode 14. A major focus of the next episode will be on Alexandria, where the community will have to deal with no challenges. One of these problems will be Judith Grimes (Cailey Fleming) running away. There will be a lot action and drama in the next episode. A preview video posted on YouTube shows Daryl (Norman Reedus) and his group seeking shelter in Alexandria before moving back to Hilltop. Among them is Lydia (Cassady McClincy), whose mere presence there threatens the community. Judith will instinctively be aware of the danger they face from the Whisperers. The preview video of the next episode shows that she will be particularly concerned about the safety of Hilltop. The question that she has in these troubling times is what would her father do? Sensing that Hilltop will need help, Judith will go out to help them in “The Walking Dead” Season 9, episode 14. The preview video shows Michonne going after her. Before Judith runs away, Michonne will have another task in Alexandria. In a sneak peek scene from the next episode the samurai sword wielding character can be seen trying to manipulate Lydia into leaving the community. In this scene Michonee tells Alpha’s (Samantha Morton) daughter that she can help keep everyone safe by taking all her problems with her and leaving the community. Meanwhile, Daryl will also get into some action in the next episode. The preview video shows him taking aim with his trademark crossbow. Beta (Ryan Hurst) is still alive, which means the war against the Whisperers is just getting started. Daryl and Beta fought in the previous episode. A behind-the-scenes video on Twitter shows Reedus talking about the battle and how his character managed to defeat his bigger opponent. Will Beta capture Judith and take her to Alpha? Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is supposed to join the fight against the Whisperers at some point, based on the comic books, and helping to bring back Rick’s (Andrew Lincoln) daughter may be a good way for the character to get in on the action. “The Walking Dead” Season 9, episode 14 title “Scars” will air on March 17 at 9 p.m. EST.<doc-sep>Take a look at a sneak peek scene and a teaser preview video for season 9 episode 14 of The Walking Dead titled “Scars” which airs on Sunday, Mar. 17, 2019. After an intense episode of The Walking Dead, fans now shift their attention to season 9 episode 14 of the show to find out what is next for the fair as well as the issues surrounding the Whisperers. Thankfully, AMC has released a scene from the Sunday, Mar. 17 episode of the show to get fans more excited about next week. That preview may not feature much action but it should help to get a peek at what to expect. Let’s take a look at the sneak peek scene from season 9 episode 14 of The Walking Dead as shared on the official YouTube channel of AMC: The scene kicks off with Judith talking with Daryl near the water at Alexandria. She is curious if the Hilltop is in danger and he replies by saying that he doesn’t know. She asks if it was to help Lydia, but Daryl says it was about getting Henry back and Lydia just came along. Judith says that because he brought her to Alexandria, that means he wants to help Lydia…adding that she wants to help too. Daryl gets asked if he would stay in Alexandria if Michonne said it was okay. He says no because he needs to keep moving while she keeps Judith and RJ safe and that is what is important. However, Judith disagrees. She says she heard the stories of everyone banding together to fight the Saviors and won but Daryl says she hasn’t heard all of the stories. The video comes to an end with Judith asking what her dad would do. What did you think of the sneak peek video from episode 914 of The Walking Dead? Does it get you excited to watch “Scars” on Sunday, Mar. 17? Let us know what you think in the comments section!<doc-sep>The Walking Dead delved into the time lapse period of Michonne’s past showing what made her become distrusting of newcomers in the current era. This recap contains spoilers for The Walking Dead season 9, episode 15. Tonight’s Walking Dead episode “Scars” was missing the punch element of surprise due to the nature of its presentation. As there has been fan speculation for some time about the nature of the X scars on Michonne and Daryl, it was pretty much a given this week’s chapter would explain their origins. However, since Michonne’s high school friend was introduced at the same time, it was entirely predictable she’d turn on her. Whereas if she had been newly introduced in the current period, the twist with her ‘evil’ youth squad would have been much stronger. Quite frankly, having Maggie be the one responsible for the ‘X’s’ Gregory style would have been more powerful as a past flashback segment. As there wasn’t that much time to build the connection between Michonne and her friend, it was more assumed. It had more of a Rick meeting up with a past character as a Savior before Daryl shoots him feel. Certainly not like the rich Morgan Jones/Eastman introduction. Instead, the setup of this episode was more akin to Carol back at the prison training a youth squadron dialed upwards, with a Revenge of the Sith type Anakin/Younglings ending. Combining the two narratives into an outcome that was entirely obvious. It also brought on a major contradiction, why would Michonne believe “People don’t change, not really,” if her best friend turned on her with ease before? You can’t have Michonne’s friend who got her through the worst of times in her life from heartbreak to death of loved ones, turn on her without a thought… And have Michonne essentially telling Judith that ‘Negan can’t change, not really’ an episode prior. Michonne’s friend barely even acknowledge the fact past, ‘Wish it hadn’t been you Michonne.’ Negan by the way, is again, pretty misused this episode by remaining as a Home Improvement style neighbor Wilson giving Michonne advice, rather than what he should be… Which is the co-lead with Daryl of the entire series in Rick’s absence. His absolutely limited screen time is baffling. How is an actor of that caliber not getting more on-air time? It should be a priority. Surely, Negan’s past can be shown in flashbacks while he’s in the cell at least. Daryl is on an absolute tear recently, great use of his increased screen time and role. Excellent scene speaking with Judith about the past tonight felt organic. Especially when he answers Judith’s question if Hilltop is in trouble now, ‘I don’t know. Might be.’ It was actually a passive-aggressive conversation between Michonne and Lydia that held the most captivating tension toward the current narrative. Obviously, Henry will not be on board with Michonne hinting to Lydia she should leave so they’re not in danger. Likely, not Judith and the rest of the group either. Michonne revealed to Judith what she had done this episode to save her (take out ‘younglings’), only to be surprised that Judith never forgot in the first place. Judith is adamant about protecting friends, and as Negan has mentioned, will do as she wants whether Michonne is on board or not. Michonne having her pregnant stomach cut by a ‘Youngling’ was a brutal sight. It also felt more of an edgy attempt to garner sympathy for her when she’d inevitably vanquish them all. Rather than the organic-ness of Negan asking Rick to do the unthinkable back on season 7’s premiere. Speaking of Rick, Daryl has a great line of searching the ocean and back for him when he locates Michonne taking out walkers while pregnant early on. When Michonne tells Aaron “I wish he was around to see this,” about the joy the youngsters have brought Alexandria, he replies, “He can see it wherever he is.” Which he quickly regrets when he realizes that means he’s gone to Michonne, while she’s still searching for them. Michonne’s high school friend talking about the importance of not being weak (searching for the past) seemed pretty identical to a certain Fear the Walking Dead season 4 villain who said the same to Morgan… Check out The Walking Dead cast and alumni Thank Andrew Lincoln in a heartfelt video.<doc-sep>
The Walking Dead Season 9 continues with a new SPOILER report for episode 14. Thanks to the experts at The Spoiling Dead Fans, we can finally explain Michonne and Daryl's mysterious X scars. Truth be told, the story behind them encapsulates one of the most disturbing moments in the series' long history. Episode 14 features lots of flashbacks of a woman named Jocelyn. Played by True Blood's Rutina Wesley, she cares for a large group of adopted children. One day, she and her kids arrive at Alexandria after they're supposedly injured in an attack. As a pre-outbreak school friend, Michonne immediately takes Jocelyn in. With Rick gone, Michonne initially takes great solace in reuniting with a familiar face. Things go sour, however, when Jocelyn betrays them. Not only does she raid the community's pantry and infirmary, but she takes off with all of Alexandria's children including Judith. Daryl and Michonne are captured while trying to save the kids, and Jocelyn's children brand them with their X-shaped scars. The kids are essentially trained to attack anyone with the mark. While searching for Judith, Michonne confronts Jocelyn and kills her. In the process, she also slays several of the children eager to defend their leader. Daryl and Michonne escape with Judith, but the event is a total bloodbath. Back in the present, Siddiq patches up Henry's leg at Alexandria. During that time, Judith and Daryl have a conversation about Alexandria's war with the Saviors. She thinks it could happen again with the Whisperers, but Daryl disagrees. Judith gets mad when Daryl's group leaves Alexandria and runs off to find them. Fearing she's lost her daughter again, Michonne visits Negan to ask if he has any clue where she might've gone. While he's initially stumped, he reminds Michonne that Judith "isn't the type to take sh-t sitting down." Michonne bolts into the woods just in time to save Judith from some walkers. Michonne catches up to Daryl, and they agree to go to the Kingdom together. As the fair is about to begin, the wagons of supplies start rolling in. Unfortunately, two Whisperers happen to see all the fanfare. This week's episode of The Walking Dead diverges heavily from its printed source material in some pretty gruesome ways. Now that we fully understand why Michonne's change in attitude took place, the situation is a lot more understandable. Being forced to slaughter children can't be good for the psyche, and we see the effects of those events in great detail. We suspect there will be lots of controversy surrounding this previously unexplored plot thread, but, as AMC has done in the past, the network will likely weather the storm in defense of its very disturbing narrative. The Walking Dead airs March 17 on AMC. What are your thoughts on these latest Walking Dead spoilers? Did the story of Michonne's scar deliver on its intrigue? Tell us in the comments section!
