Not really if what's in the bites isn't the separate infection but a deadly toxin that's a byproduct of activated z-virus living in dead bodies and you need it to be in your bloodstream to suffer consequenses.

If there even will be an explanation.

We'll see him next episode.

Or Abe.

Well, he isn't a lonely survivor so maybe his plan is bigger - not to just kill rape and ear these 2(3) people but get their whole community.

I think they run away on their own because they didn't want to kneel anymore. Dwight mentioned his disdain for the group several times. Took Tina along, stolen insuline for her. And they sure ain't going back voluntarily, there was nothing suggesting that.

Aaron kept talking because he already made a decision to invite Rick to Alexandria. I think Daryl wasn't sure it's a good idea to give these strangers too much into about who he is and where he is from. He wanted to get away from them not to recruit them hence "I'm not who you think I am" meaning "Let me go my way,…

He does. In ep 10

Well, he killed the whole forrest of them to be that sheltered.

It never were. Though Jenner should have known for sure but I guess he didn't think to tell Rick or something.

But was it absolutely necessary to set them up NOW?
I don't think so.Showing Morgan's backstory in all its glory now wasn't necessary either. Most casual viewers are already completely lost as to what happens when and the point of the main story (No Way Out) is lost and will need to be explained on TTD again.

Ep 7 is when Glenn returns. Jesus appears in ep 10.

It's not filler it's faithful adaptation of the comic.
They're skipping We Find Ourselves though.
But Bigger World and Something To Fear will play out close to the source.

He doesn't know about the Wolves.

And gasoline from going bad and insuline too.

He is still with Rosita that's why Sasha said to him that he has some things to work out before he can make passes on her.

The whole episode was people giving speeches at every turn, most of those speeches fairly incoherent too. Weird considering they're in grave danger.

there was no front of that herd anymore. The column wasn't a column with head and tail, They all turned to their left and started walking though the woods toward Alexandria when they heard the horn. They dispersed a lot.

It worked just fine for me as it were but since so many people are confused and not satisfied I think I agree that cutting to black a bit later when he got out and started running would have worked better overall.

I agree, but as of now they think they wouldn't have to wait and watch for long because Sasha and Daryl are expected to arrive shortly and relieve them.
