Template:S9 E4 Impending Doom

In Alexandria, Michonne continues to tell Magna and her entire group about the events that occurred before their arrival.

Kelly asks about the guy in the basement and how things worked out after the war, Rick's leadership. Then, Yumiko asks what happened to the Saviors - they are still active, led by Daryl, and part of the network of communities and trade network.

Paul Rovia knocks on the door, asking Michonne if everything is alright. She replies it is and that they're just getting to know each other a little. Paul then announces that he and a group will take the horses and return the following day, and then leaves. Michonne asks with a smile if they want some coffee.

At his house, Eugene is sitting on a couch after a bad night of sleep. Rosita tells him she's sorry and he asks if it isn't his. She replies that she didn't love him, he didn't love her, and that it was stupid. It is revealed that Rosita cheated on Eugene and is pregnant with this person's baby, although Eugene agrees to raise the baby as his own child and that no one will know.

Back at Hilltop, Rick and Judith bid each other goodbye. Rick then leaves Hilltop.

Elsewhere, Alden is confronted by a disguised survivor. He pleads it not to shoot him and that he didn't know the "walkers" were real people. The survivor says they will ask questions and Alden will be the one answering nicely, and asks him to keep his voice down as it'll alert the other walkers - the real walkers.

Alden realizes he's surrounded by a group of disguised walkers. The survivor says that he entered their land, killed their kind, and now they will explore his land, learn about his people. That they will know them and that they will fear them.

Somewhere on the road, Paul Rovia and a group of survivors meet up with a road guard and is briefed on the roamer situation. After finding out a patrolman has gone silent, they rush to his last location. Unbeknownst to them, they are being followed by a "herd" of disguised survivors.

Back at Hilltop, Judith is working with Earl and makes her very first spear. At the end of the day, all dirty from her work, Judith walks back to the Barrington House and is greeted by Henry who notes that she "smells like shit". After showering, Judith and Henry go eat together.

Maggie and Enid are walking with Hershel and watch Judith and Henry.

Paul Rovia and his group continue to search for the missing patrolman. When they are about to go back, one of the disguised roamers stabs one of the riders in the back. Paul tries to back away with the others, but they are swarmed by "living" roamers. Eduardo is stabbed and badly wounded and the disguised roamers then stab the other survivors to death, except for Paul who is now surrounded by the living "walkers."

A Whisperer attacks Jesus, but the latter kicks him and shatters his kneecap, sending the assailant screaming in agony. Jesus notes that his opponents speak and feel pain and wonders what they are. Joshua introduces them as Whisperers, before telling Jesus he is where he doesn't belong. Jesus defiantly tells them he isn't going down without a fight. As he is engaged in combat, Jesus sends his horse away so it won't be devoured. He is about to run away when he hears Eduardo yell for help. Jesus rushes to his aid, but is attacked by Joshua whom he kills by slicing the top of his head off. A female Whisperer calls out Joshua's name, surprising Jesus. As he continues clearing out roamers, the female Whisperer attacks him, only to be stabbed in the shoulder by her own knife when Jesus deflects her strike. After killing the last of the roamers, Jesus is about to finish off the remaining Whisperer when she begs him for her life, leaving Jesus to contemplate what to do.

Back at Hilltop, Maggie is breaking a horse when Gregory approaches her. He makes a crude joke, but is quick to apologize. When Maggie asks him what he wants, Gregory confronts Maggie about the disappearance of Alden's group who have been gone for two days. He insists they send out more parties to search for them, but Maggie declines. She informs him that they still don't know what's going on and until they know more, she won't risk anyone. Gregory is upset by this and states that she is being irresponsible and proclaims that he'll step in if he needs to and go out himself to search for Alden and his men. Maggie obliges and tells him to go ahead. She then asks if he can even ride a horse before calling him a joke, storming off.

Meanwhile, Judith and Henry are eating together outside reminiscing when they are attacked by Morton. He slams a brick in the back of Henry's head and grabs Judith. As Henry runs off, Morton call him a coward as he turns his attention to Judith. Judith assures him she doesn't need Henry and proceeds to punch Morton in the face. As Morton proceeds to beat Judith, he is suddenly struck in the back of the head by Henry with his stick. Henry then viciously beats Morton who begs for his life. Judith looks on in shock as Henry mercilessly beats Morton with his stick repeatedly.

Jesus soon arrives at Hilltop and sends Eduardo to see Enid. Maggie looks on in disbelief at his prisoner when Henry and Judith call out to Maggie. Maggie asks what happened as Henry helps Judith to them when a bloody Henry tells her that Morton attacked her and that he thinks he killed him.
