Michonne (Danai Gurira) was desperate to shoot Civic Republic Military officer Jadis Stokes (Pollyanna McIntosh) when Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) begged her not to on Sunday’s action packed episode of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live on AMC.
‘We can’t kill her,’ Rick said. ‘I told you, she left a file about home for the CRM to find.’
‘She destroys!,’ Michonne argued.
Still, Jadis ultimately met her demise after being bit by a zombie before Rick fired a bullet into her head on the penultimate episode of the six-episode season.

The spin-off series episode titled Become picked up after Michonne convinced Rick to escape the clutches of the Civic Republic Military.
Michonne and Rick then blissfully drive around in a car together through the beautiful mountain scenery. Along the way they found packages of food, strolled through a convenience store and then hiked to a cabin to spend the night together.
Before they reached the cabin, they ran into three strangers. Michonne gave them packages of ramen to eat but then people pulled guns on them.
‘You want to just take that back,’ Michonne said.
Michonne quickly disarmed them, took back the food she gave them, and made them promise to leave other people alone.
‘Keep your promise, a***hole,’ Rick said.
Rick and Michonne got to the cabin. Rick poured them some whiskey and they had a romantic evening together. Outside a hooded person approached their cabin.
The show flashed to three years earlier with Father Gabriel Stokes (Seth Gilliam) walking through a forest alone when he spotted a helicopter flying overhead. Jadis Stokes appeared and Gabriel hugged her.

Jadis Stokes appeared and Gabriel hugged her
‘I just wanted to see you but you can’t tell anyone that I was here,’ Jadis said.
Gabriel told Jadis that Rick died trying to save the others. Jadis didn’t tell him that Rick was actually still alive. Gabriel asked her to forgive him for losing faith in her.
The show flashed to the present with Jadis walking into Rick and Michonne’s cabin while they were sleeping and pulling a gun on them. She then had them tie each other up. Jadis told them she was doing this for the Republic and didn’t want her connection to Alexandria to be discovered.
‘I didn’t kill you in your sleep because I wanted to, I needed to thank you,’ Jadis said. ‘By dying here today, Alexandria will remain safe and your children will have a better world.’
Rick suddenly flipped the bed over and they managed to escape. Michonne grabbed a gun and was about to shoot Jadis when Rick stopped her and Jadis escaped.
The show then flashed back two years earlier with Jadis having another yearly meeting with Gabriel in the forest. Gabriel called her by her given name Anne. Gabriel told her if she had doubts that what she was doing was wrong then maybe she wasn’t on the right path.
‘It’s about survival,’ Jadis said. ‘It’s about what comes after the survival of others.’
Gabriel asked her if the CRM could give them food to feed the people. Jadis said she couldn’t do that because she was meeting in secret with Gabriel. Gabriel gave her a ring he found in the forest the day when Rick spoke about wanting to marry Michonne.

Back in the present, Jadis drove off into the woods and Rick and Michonne chased her in their car. Michonne ran Jadis’ car off the road. Jadis walked off injured and stumbled onto the group that tried to rob Rick and Michonne and asked for their help. Michonne and Rick followed Jadis’ bloody trail into a building and then realized that the robbers had lured them into a trap.
‘Goodbye Rick,’ Jadis said appearing with a gun.
Zombies appeared and killed one of the robbers giving Rick and Michonne the chance to escape.
The show then flashed back to a year earlier with Jadis meeting Gabriel for their yearly talk.
‘Every year I come back here, I’ve done worse things,’ Jadis said. ‘I know why they are done. I believe in what we are trying to do.’
Gabriel said these meetings proved to him that ‘Anne’ was still here. Jadis kissed him and he urged her to come back with him to Alexandria.
‘I can’t,’ Jadis said. ‘For all the reasons that I’ve already told you.’
Gabriel said she hadn’t told him anything about her group other than they horde supplies while other people suffer.

‘I’m sorry for coming here,’ Jadis said. ‘For turning you into a loose end.’
Jadis then pushed Gabriel to the group and pulled her gun on him.
‘I’m sorry,’ Jadis said.
Back in the present day, Rick urged Jadis to give up.
‘You kill me, they’re dead,’ Jadis said. ‘I get killed by walkers, they are dead.’
Jadis told Rick he was just about to get the Echelon briefing but Michonne pulled him away from that.
‘You don’t really want to kill everyone back home, Anne,’ Rick said. ‘I know you don’t.’
‘It’s not about ‘want,’ Jadis said.’It’s about keeping your humanity or saving humanity, and it is a choice! I’ve chosen my community.’
‘You kill me, they’re dead,’ Jadis said. ‘I get killed by walkers, they are dead’
‘You don’t really want to kill everyone back home, Anne,’ Rick said. ‘I know you don’t.’
‘It’s not about ‘want,’ Jadis said.’It’s about keeping your humanity or saving humanity, and it is a choice! I’ve chosen my community’
Michonne pretended that Jadis was right.
‘Since I’ve found you all that I’ve done has been for us but now I see this can’t end with us going home,’ Michonne said.
Rick told Jadis he would go back with her and that in exchange Michonne would get supplies to go back to Alexandria.
‘We got a deal?’ Rick said.
‘Why should I trust you after all the sh** that you pulled?’ Jadis said. ‘We got a deal.’
Michonne and Rick dropped their weapons and Jadis dropped hers.
‘I was a fool to think I could take you down with you two together which was why I agreed to your deal,’ Jadis said.
Jadis then pulled out a hidden gun.
‘Since I’ve found you all that I’ve done has been for us but now I see this can’t end with us going home,’ Michonne said

The show flipped back to Jadis’s forest meeting Gabriel and he told her to shoot him.
‘Show me who you are,’ Gabriel said.
A walker approached, Jadis killed the walker and decided to let Gabriel live.
Back In the final standoff in the abandoned building, Michonne pointed a gun at Jadis. Suddenly, the robbers ,who had turned into zombies, appeared and bit Jadis in the neck. Jadis realized it was all over for her.
‘I was finally part of something that could last and I couldn’t lose another community,’ Jadis said. ‘I knew if I didn’t kill you all, somehow, some way, you’d come for the CRM. So I drew up the dossier to protect myself.’
‘The dossier it’s in my room at the Cascadia Base,’ Jadis told them. ‘Just destroy it and go home. The CRM will bring the world back.’
Jadis asked them to promise they wouldn’t go after the CRM. Michonne said no that they were going to stop the CRM. She said Rick was going to get the Echelon briefing and find out everything that the city doesn’t know about.
‘Because, Anne, the CRM is not the answer and they must end,’ Michonne said.

‘It’s a broken world and you’re the only thing that puts it back together,’ Rick said. ‘Til my last breath, I am yours’
‘I’m yours,’ Michonne said.

‘I wish I died as an artist,’ Jadis said. ‘This is mine. The end of my story. My peace.’
Jadis pulled off her necklace with the ring and told them that Gabiel found the ring in the forest after Rick said he was going to marry Michonne.
‘Go ahead, do what you said you would do, please’ Jadis said.
Rick then picked up a gun and killed Jadis. Rick and Michonne walked towards Jadis’ helicopter and he pulled out the ring.
‘It’s a broken world and you’re the only thing that puts it back together,’ Rick said. ‘Til my last breath, I am yours.’
Rick got down on one knee.
‘I’m yours,’ Michonne said.
Father Gabriel returned to the forest and waited for Jadis to show up, but she never did.
