The Croat snitching on Negan leads to the most intense scene of the episode where the Dama forces Victor to play his violin before brutally killing him with a pen to the neck right in front of Negan, making it clear that his hesitation had consequences, it was a really powerful moment that showed just how cruel and unpredictable Dama is as a villain, its here where she starts to bring out how of a savage she can truly be. This entire scene reinforced Negan's complicated position as someone being forced to do terrible things while trying to hold onto his humanity but at the same time he still can't denied enjoying part of it. After the attack the survivors of the ferry including Maggie, Hershel, and a few others end up taking refuge in what appears to be Central Park which we know from the previous episode is a dangerous no mans land with all kind of dangers going on from walkers to other humans.
The episode ends with the survivors hiding in Central Park, which sets up what will likely be a crazy and intense encounter in the next episode, people hiding within the tall grass, overall this was a really good hour that balanced action with emotional moments and continued to build the tension between all the different factions, I'm definitely excited to see where things go from here, especially with Negan now having even more reason to want revenge against Dama and the Croat after what they did to Victor.
I still think the second season is still stretching its legs delivering the kind of tense, character driven horror that made the original series so fkn good, the new villains are getting more development with Dama proving to be genuinely terrifying and the Croat showing his fanatical devotion to both her and the idea of who Negan used to be, the action sequences are creative and the stakes are high for New Babylon with characters we care about in real danger, I'm particularly interested in seeing how Negan will eventually break free from the Dama's control and reunite with Maggie because we know that has to happen at some point and when it does they are going to make a real power couple against these Manhattan villains, the show is also doing a good job of building mystery around Central Park and whatever monster is lurking there, which adds another layer of danger to an already precarious situation, with six more episodes to go there's plenty of time for the story to develop without feeling rushed and I'm hopeful that we'll get a satisfying conclusion that either wraps things up nicely or sets up an even more exciting third season, Dead City is not the strongest Walking Dead spinoff I would say is Daryl Dixon but it is still entertaining though, despite the low ratings its getting online.
