Even though Michonne destroyed Rick's CRM helicopter to seek revenge for her friends, her main goal remains bringing her husband back to their safe home in Alexandria. This becomes even more important when he tells her that they cannot stop the heavily armed group. This revelation could add a touch of sadness to their escape plan, or it might lead them to choose not to escape at all.

After Michonne left The Walking Dead, her encounter with a nomadic survivor group made her more attuned to the struggles of others in the post-apocalypse. As she settles into her new role as a consignee, she may devise a plan to potentially save the Civic Republic from the oppressive rule of their military. This could involve rallying people like Pearl, who are currently under their control, to join forces and help the larger group.

However, the sheer size of the CRM raises doubts about whether they can be defeated in the next four episodes. It might be more plausible for Rick and Michonne to make their escape, providing a definitive conclusion for their characters as The Ones Who Live, while the militarized group continues to exist in the universe. Nonetheless, with the show's fast-paced storytelling and lengthy episodes, there is still a chance that the entire group could be dealt with satisfactorily before the series concludes - offering the main duo a possibility to return home.

Editor's P/S:

The upcoming episode of "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" promises an exhilarating continuation of the thrilling escape mission of Rick and Michonne. The trailer hints at the complexities the couple faces as they navigate the treacherous confines of the CRM, with Jadis's ominous warning casting a shadow over their plans. While Michonne's determination to return to Alexandria remains steadfast, the revelation of the CRM's formidable strength raises questions about the feasibility of their escape.

As the series nears its end, the possibility of a definitive conclusion for Rick and Michonne's characters becomes tantalizing. The trailer suggests that they may ultimately choose not to escape, opting instead to fight for the freedom of those oppressed by the CRM. However, the sheer size and power of the military group raises doubts about whether they can be defeated within the remaining four episodes. Despite these uncertainties, the show's fast-paced storytelling and extended episodes provide hope that the series will deliver a satisfying resolution for the beloved duo and the larger narrative of "The Walking Dead."
