Badass in Distress: Maggie and Carol get captured by the Saviors. Badass Preacher: Gabriel gives a prayer for one of the Saviors before gunning him down. Black-and-Grey Morality: Yes, the Saviors are murderous bullies that will steal your lunch. But does that justify slaughtering an entire compound of them just because they, as a group, have that reputation? The Bus Came Back: Daryl's stolen Cool Bike returns. Call-Back: Carol keeps a list of the people that she has killed from Seasons 4 to 6. Jesus tells Glenn and Heath that they're in "the Next World" like he did to Rick and Daryl. Continuity Nod: Carol visits Sam's grave after his death in "No Way Out", and is at it again with her cookies, which he constantly asked her for during Season 5 - and it was her morbid threat to him that she'd leave him to the walkers, or he could have cookies, that ultimately killed him. Rick and Morgan finally have an argument the promotional materials of the season hinted at. Aaron vows that he won't let another tragedy like the Wolf invasion in "JSS" happen on his watch, which he indirectly caused by accidentally leaving behind his backpack at a Wolf trap in "Conquer". Tara recalls her role in the fall of the prison back in "Too Far Gone". Rosita tells Carol that they should've called out Morgan for hiding Owen the Alpha Wolf from the group during the early half of the season. Dying Moment of Awesome: A rare villainous example.

Foreshadowing: One of the Savior guards whistles "Happy Birthday" to Andy. In the season finale, we learn in a morbid way that whistling seems to be a hobby amongst the Saviors. Notice the pictures of gore in one of the Saviors rooms. The person looking at the photos is Glenn, who ends up dying in exactly the same fashion in the Season 7 opener. To drive the point home, a Savior is even shown taking pictures of his headless body. The last person who had Daryl's Cool Bike was Dwight. However, it appears that the Saviors managed to claim it as their own, hinting at Dwight's return. He is reintroduced two episodes later, now leading his own group of Saviors.

Mood Whiplash: Abraham callously breaks up with Rosita and we see her crying her eyes out... And then we see Eugene eating one of Carol's cookies and commenting that they're chewy. Mythology Gag: Eugene awkwardly tries to make small talk with Rosita after Abraham leaves her, but Rosita shuts the door on him, winking at their relationship in the comics which started not long after her and Abe's break up (it remains to be seen if they will get together in the show). As a bit of Foreshadowing, Glenn and Heath find a collection of pictures of people's heads bashed in with something, alluding to the approaching debut of Negan.

Team Mom: Tobin refers to Carol as this for the Alexandrians. There Is No Kill like Overkill: Glenn and Heath almost entirely annihilate the Saviors that chased them into the armory. Took a Level in Badass: Gabriel joins the mission to kill the Saviors and delivers a pretty chilling prayer before shooting a wounded Savior. Wham Line:Female Savior: We have a "Carol" and a "Maggie", we think you might wanna talk to us about that.
