Rick and Michonne are reunited, but they are caught off guard by the CRM, forcing Rick to pretend Michonne is his captive. To protect her true identity, Michonne goes by the alias Dana and pretends to work for them while secretly planning their escape. Unfortunately, their plan hits a snag when Jadis discovers Michonne's real identity and confronts Rick about it in the second episode.

Rick and Jadis have a deal that stops her from going to the CRM leaders right away. It all depends on how Rick handles his new plan to return home. This might help him avoid any danger from Jadis. But their deal could put the core couple's future at risk once the details are revealed.

Jadis knows the location of Alexandria, so Rick and Michonne's best chance of escape could be to stop her from speaking to CRM members like Beale. They might even fake their deaths to make sure the group never discovers the Virginia communities. However, with only four episodes left in The Ones Who Live, it might take another episode or two for their escape plan to succeed.
