Time for After

"Time for After" is the seventh episode of the eighth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on December 3, 2017. The episode was written by Matthew Negrete and Corey Reed, and directed by Larry Teng. Plot Rick attempts to negotiate his release with Jadis of the Scavengers, but she refuses again and takes photographs of Rick's half-naked body at different angles, intending to use the photos as references for a sculpture she plans to create of him. Inside the Sanctuary, Eugene, who is aware that Dwight is the mole within Negan's ranks that allowed Rick's plan to work, struggles with what action to take. Gabriel, who has been taken prisoner by Negan and held in the infirmary, tries to convince Eugene to do the right thing to help the combined Alexandria, Hilltop, and Kingdom communities. Outside the Sanctuary, Daryl, Tara, Michonne, and Rosita plot to take a garbage truck and ram it through the walls of the compound, thus allowing the walkers presently surrounding the building to flood in and attack the Saviors. As they discuss matters, Morgan arrives, having overheard their discussion, and offers his support and that of his group of snipers that are monitoring the Sanctuary under Rick's orders. Rosita starts to become concerned about going against Rick's plan and leaves, while Michonne is still unsure if this is the right action, knowing that the situation, as it is, is working to keep the Saviors confined.
