Episode 7.07 “Sing Me a Song” Q & A
Part 1:
1. Why is Michonne out on the road by herself?
She seems to have a plan. She is making it a point to be killing walkers with her katana and piling them up on the road.
2. Do Carl & Jesus make it to the Sanctuary in the back of the truck?
Carl does, but Jesus doesn’t. Jesus suggests they both hop out of the back of the van to get a better look at the Sanctuary as they get closer. Carl pretends to be hesitant and gets Jesus to jump out first. After Jesus jumps, Carl waves goodbye and continues on in the truck. Then he finds a box of weapons.
3. Who else in Team Family makes an appearance?
Rosita and Eugene are off on a mission. Remember she said “make me a bullet” and she’s holding him to it. They run into Spencer & Gabriel on their way out to get supplies. Rosita and Spencer have some harsh words with each other and they go their separate ways. Spencer & Gabriel have even more harsh words with each other and Gabriel ends up getting out of the car and walking back to ASZ. Spencer is losing friends fast. Rick & Aaron are out scavenging.
4. How does Negan react to Carl’s visit?
Negan is intrigued by his new visitor. Instead of disposing him, he offers Carl a grand tour of the Sanctuary. A lot of their interactions follow the comics. Carl comes face to face with Negan’s harem. Negan also makes Carl take off his bandage, then has Carl sing to him while he practices swinging Lucille.
5. Does Carl try to rescue Daryl?
No, but Daryl does receive a note from an unknown friend. A folded piece of paper is slid under his door. He finds a motorcycle key in it with a matchstick taped to it and one word: ‘Go.’
6. Does Negan find Judith in this episode?
Yes. After Negan personally delivers Carl back home, Negan makes Carl take him on an awkward tour of his house. Negan finds Judith in her crib and picks her up. They are on the front porch sipping lemonade and Judith sitting on Negan’s lap when Rosita, Eugene and Spencer roll back into the ASZ.
Bonus! Carl will take out a few Saviors before being caught by Negan. Savior Mark sees the business end of a hot iron.
PART 2
1. What are Rick and Aaron up to in this episode?
They find a sign on a gate that says "Keep going. Only thing here 4 you is trouble" Since Negan is coming back soon, they have no choice but to check it out. It seems the guy who wrote the note is dead, but he was smart. He has a houseboat full of supplies and ammo in the middle of the lake, but he protected it by surrounding the boat with walkers. Basically, Rick and Aaron have a crapload of work to do to get their payday.
2. Who is the lady Michonne meets and what happens during their encounter?
The lady is one of the Saviors and Michonne purposely lured her out. Michonne tells her to take her to Negan, or she'll kill her.
3. Can you describe the iron scene? How graphic is it?
The actual ironing itself, yes, it's graphic, but it's over pretty quickly. The scene leading up to it is the worst part. Daryl is there. Carl is there. And Negan forces Dwight to help. Of course, there's the classic Negan speech too.
4. Does Carl cry while singing?
Yes, but Carl also cries when Negan forces him to remove his bandage and makes fun of how he looks. (Carl cries, but he cries like a man damnit)
5. What happens when Carl first arrives at the Sanctuary?
It happens pretty much like the comics. Carl is able to take out 2 of Negan's men before being overpowered by Dwight. But Negan doesn't kill Carl, and instead is thoroughly impressed and takes him on a tour of The Sanctuary. First stop is Negan's harem where Daryl and Dwight bring in a big plate of food for Negan. Negan makes sure that the Saviors eat vegetables that night, but he's the one who gets the big meat and cheese plate. He forces Carl to carry it around and treats him like a servant just like Daryl.
Bonus:
Negan really really likes Judith! He sits on the porch and rocks her to sleep.
Edited to add: Negan tells Carl that he likes Alexandria so much that maybe he'll kill him and Rick after all. Then he'll move to the suburbs and be with Judith everyday
