The Epic Rick Grimes Strategy: Unleashing a Thrilling Wave of Walking Dead Reunions
Morgan's return to Alexandria is crucial for a long-awaited reunion with Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead Brace yourself for an epic convergence of two beloved characters in the future
Summary
Morgan's plan to search for Rick sets the stage for Morgan to reunite with other Walking Dead characters.
Morgan is expected to make a comeback in Alexandria, where he will once again connect with his former allies, Ezekiel and Carol. The spinoff, which brings together Rick and Morgan, may feature flashbacks or references to the events that led to their reunion, creating a cohesive ending that ties all storylines together.
Morgan Jones' plan to quietly search for Rick Grimes sets the stage for even more reunions in The Walking Dead. In the midseason finale of Fear The Walking Dead season 8, Morgan reveals his intention to find Rick, regardless of whether he is still in Alexandria or not. This call back to when Rick contacted Morgan in season 1 with his walkie talkie suggests that The Walking Dead is preparing for a significant team-up between Rick and Morgan.
The announcement of Morgan's new journey has generated excitement among viewers who are eager to see more reunions between beloved characters. As Morgan, Daryl, and Michonne now search for the original protagonist of the main show, it is expected that a satisfying reunion is imminent. With Rick becoming the central focus in future spinoffs, The Walking Dead can tap into nostalgia from previous seasons by showcasing their partnership once again. Fear the Walking Dead has paved the way for Morgan and Rick to cross paths once more, but they are not the only character pairing that the spinoff has set up.
Morgan Has To Return To Alexandria Before He Can Find Rick Grimes
Although Morgan acknowledges the possibility that Rick is no longer in Alexandria, it remains the most obvious starting point for Morgan's search. He hasn't received any information indicating Rick's absence. When Morgan eventually returns to Alexandria, it would make sense for him to cross paths with old Walking Dead characters like Ezekiel and Carol, with whom he had a close relationship during his time on the main show.
Based on Morgan's plan, it seems only logical that he will have some kind of encounter with his former allies, either on or off-screen. One possibility would be a flashback in the spinoff that reunites Rick and Morgan, showing Rick meeting Carol, Ezekiel, Eugene, or Aaron and revealing the moment when Morgan finds out about Rick's disappearance. Even if this doesn't occur, it should at least be mentioned during the lead-up to Morgan's reunion with Rick that he meets someone in Alexandria who provides more information about Rick's whereabouts. In order to deliver a satisfying conclusion, this popular franchise must tie all storylines together seamlessly, and excluding Morgan's journey to Alexandria could diminish the impact of his reunion with Rick.
How Morgan & Rick Can Reunite In The Walking Dead's Future
Morgan's return in Rick's spinoff, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, may not happen in the first season as Lennie James' involvement has not been confirmed yet. While there hasn't been an announcement for a second season of Rick and Michonne's show, there is a possibility that this spinoff will continue to delve deeper into the CRM and bring back characters like Morgan. It appears that The Walking Dead is using Rick as a significant plot element to drive other spinoffs, and with the introduction of antagonists like the CRM and new zombie variants, there is still much more to explore and reunions to be had. Moreover, the CRM seems too formidable to be taken down in just six episodes.
