Lauren Cohan does some fine work this episode, as Maggie proves herself capable while still mourning Glenn. (There are apparently no actual residents who are qualified to lead Hilltop, because it’s yet another of “Walking Dead’s” patented communities that consist of two or three prominent characters plus the occasional background extra.) Still, Maggie’s evolution into a leader is one of “Walking Dead’s” genuinely good slow-burning storylines, and it’s nice to see some progress on it here. Jesus knows that Gregory is a lousy leader and he’s unwilling to take the mantle on himself, but after seeing Maggie bark orders and take care of business during a late-night prank by the Saviors where they let a bunch of zombies into Hilltop, he decides she’s the woman for the job. Fortunately, Maggie and Sasha have an advocate in Jesus, who is willing to stand up to Gregory on their behalf. His not-unreasonable point is that if the Saviors see either of them there, they’ll figure out that Hilltop and Alexandria colluded against them, and Hilltop will get their share of punishment. Maggie and Sasha are both amenable to the idea, but Gregory is insistent they leave immediately. The doctor does insist that Maggie remain at Hilltop, though, so he’ll be nearby in case anything else goes wrong. Maggie finally gets some good news from Hilltop’s doctor: she and her baby should be okay as long as she takes it easy and gets some rest. 'Reservation Dogs' Season 2 Review: Less Funny?
