Maggie realized she can't be alone in her search for Glenn. What changed in her?
What was interesting for me in this episode is it's a coping mechanism in as much as it's a real quest to find Glenn. All she can do right now is to steam through these walkers. Maggie knows no limits at this point and that's a big part of her and Sasha's argument. Sasha is avoiding having to be disappointed and if she isn't going to emotionally invest, then she can't be disappointed. But Maggie knows her better than that, which is what we see at the end of the episode: You can ask her to risk her life for her own benefit. That's all we do now is risk our lives. What's changed in Maggie is that recognition; it's finding Glenn but it's also finding out who she is in her search for him and knowing despite all this despair, she is still an incredibly faithful person and she's not going to leave anyone behind. She deeply knows in her heart that they are still alive and it's going to be OK. It's also crazy because Maggie gets to act out what she wishes she acted out with The Governor (David Morrissey) and it was a nice change from the beginning of the season. She goes from this place of forgiveness when Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) go out on this vengeful mission [for The Governor] and says what she has [at the prison with safety, friends and family] is worth looking out for and putting our focus on and I'm going to let [her vendetta with The Governor] go. It bites her in the end and it's The Governor who takes away the last precious thing from her [her father, Hershel] and possibly her sister and her husband as well -- not to mention the prison, the camp and their whole lives to boot. There is definitely a level of regret in there and recognition that she needs to put that warrior suit back on and not take it off for a while.
Sasha, Bob and Maggie are headed for Terminus, even though Sasha is skeptical of it sounding too good to be true. How concerned should they that Terminus is a trap?
We should always be concerned that anything that sounds too good to be true probably is. This is way too big for any of us to ignore that train tracks leading to something that could be a sanctuary. We have no way of communicating with each other but we have signs at every single train track to head in one direction, so at least we can all be together and trust what ever telekinetic connection we have, then maybe we'll figure it out when we get there. I don't know that Terminus is going to be a bad idea; none of us should assume that.
