Michonne then spots a lone Ezekiel making his way to the woods. “Maybe the Whisperers want to keep us fighting back until we get so tired that they have the advantage,” Judith says. Along the road, we see a bit more of that Judith wisdom as she figures out Alpha’s power play. Seriously, what’s up with the once-great King?īut it’s a good thing that a small crew from Alexandria led by Michonne and Judith are on their way to Hilltop. Chaos ensues as the Hilltop dwellers scramble to save their trapped friends while Ezekiel looks on in a dumbfounded trance.
Ezekiel freezes in total shock, unable to figure out what to do. Perhaps one of the best opening scenes to a Walking Dead episode was the one we had (and Cudlitzs so expertly directed) for “Silence the Whisperers.” Gordi’s “Heaven I Know” provides a hopeful atmosphere as it plays to a montage of our survivors enjoying that sliver of comfort with their loved ones and taking in a moment of epiphany-Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) eating a hearty dinner with Judith (Cailey Fleming) and RJ (Antony Azor), Lydia (Cassady McClincy) spotting Siddiq (Avi Nash) in the onset of a panic attack, Daryl bringing Carol (Melissa McBride) some food, Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura) and Magna (Nadia Hilker) getting intimate, and Ezekiel (Khary Payton) trying his best to get some sleep (possibly still thinking about Carol).īut the beautiful montage is cut short with a nerve-racking snap as a large tree falls on the walls of Hilltop, trapping a few dwellers along with it. The Tree Dilemma: Fuck You, Alpha, We All Know It Was Ya’ll Who Dunnit! This isn’t going to be a silent spoiler-free ride. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned about the enemy since being introduced last season, it’s that she will never stop being the ruthless motherfucker that our survivors have ever faced.ĭirected by Walking Dead alum Michael Cudlitz, “Silence the Whisperers” is a perfect follow up to last week’s no-holds-barred zombie action-this time taking things to Hilltop and adding a bit more to the overwhelming horde that attacked Alexandria.
The power that Alpha wields looms ever so strong even though they’re not physically present or even near the communities’ premises. Titled “Silence the Whisperers,” the episode doesn’t hold back on how the Whisperers slowly infiltrate the minds of the Alexandrians and Hilltop dwellers. Paranoia seems to be the pervading atmosphere in this week’s harrowing episode of The Walking Dead. The Whisperers have expanded their borders, and there’s nothing our survivors could do to minimize their threat.
