A short recap of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live episode 3

Titled Bye, the third episode of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live takes off from the previous installment where Jadis confronts Rick after recognizing Michonne. Moreover, she threatens to take action against them if they plan to escape. Episode 3 starts with a flashback as Jadis approaches Rick about signing up with CRM.

The episode then sees Rick enlisting Thorne’s help to get Michonne into the consignment program, while Jadis threatens to kill everyone he loves if he and Michonne escape. However, Rick, played by Lincoln, is set on helping Michonne escape, even pretending to end their relationship.

While Michonne refuses to leave without Rick, she tours Millenium Park and meets the artist who had engraved Rick's iPhones. Thorne then asks for Michonne's help, albeit reluctantly.

After Okafor’s death, Thorne is promoted. The CRM secrets are then revealed to her in an Echelon Briefing but she is unsure how to step into Okafor’s shoes.

Rick, on the other hand, gains Major General Beale’s trust and is slated to receive a promotion along with the Echelon Briefing. The last scene of the episode shows Rick and Michonne taking a helicopter to return to the base. While the helicopter finds itself in a storm, Michonne pulls Rick as she jumps out of the helicopter, and the episode ends with a cliffhanger.

Fans are now excited about The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live episode 4, which is set to arrive on AMC and AMC+ on March 17, 2024.
