Be warned! This review will cover aspects of the episode. Spoilers will lurk like groaning cover’budge ers..###How much you enjoy this week's episode hinges on whether you A) like Tara Chambler B) can't stand her or C) possess’own’nurse entirely in/with regard to’concerning’regarding gotten her existence. Swear catches up with Alanna Masterton’s Tara and Corey Hawkins' Heath as they continue their scavenging mission begun at the end of Season 6. It means that there's an undercurrent of heartbreak lurking at its heart, because Tara – who eventually makes it back to Alexandria to learn what has happened in the interim – has a whole lot of sorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious ness in her future. This week's mildly’faintly lengthened episode (again, not in/with regard to’concerning’regarding peculiar ly necessary reasons, but better than the all-Negan horror reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue of a couple of weeks ago) takes us on a visit to another new community in the apocalypse: Oceanside. The in/with regard to’concerning’regarding mer motorhome by the beach (nice locale! Well, if you like fish) is the location in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a group that initially appears to possess’own’nurse overtones of Y: The Last Man's Amazons, but as it turns out, Negan's mob killed all their males above the age of 10 and prompted the women to flee. Quite how they were able to escape the Saviours, and why they possess’own’nurse n't been hunted down once they fought back, remains to be seen.###In a previous season, it might possess’own’nurse had more impact to see another different society, but between learning more with regards to’concerning’with respect to the Saviours' Sanctuary and stopping by Ezekiel's Kingdom, it doesn't elicit quite the same reaction. At least it's a break away from direct contact with the Saviours, even if they do factor into Oceanside's tragic past. Instead of a smug dictator with a bat, we possess’own’nurse Natania (Deborah May), who leads her surviving women and children with a tough but not unsympathetic power. They see right through Tara's rubbish attempt to lie with regards to’concerning’with respect to where she's from (a larder as a type of boat? What sort of nonsense is that? Why not just say a fishing boat?) We spend almost the entire episode with the new faces – despite’in spite of’albeit there are brief jumps back to Tara and Heath ruminating on the nature of individual in this post-apocalyptic world and them disturbing the buried "sand cover’budge ers" – and the new cast keep things from feeling too much like filler. And both set pieces with the sand cover’budge ers are effectively disturbing, even if the cover’budge ers don't exactly try intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully hard and the little mistaken identity moment near the end with the female cover’budge er that Tara momentarily claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate s could be the missing Heath is almost as ridiculous as her fishing boat lie. In fact, Masterson is sorrowful’distressing’woeful’heartbroken’mirthless’dejected’dismal’lugubrious dled with quite a lot of unconvincing dialogue and several moments of attempted levity that fell as quickly as Tara from the bridge. You've got to enjoy Tara flipping the bird to annoying child warrior Rachel (Mimi Kirkland), despite’in spite of’albeit .###In summary, Swear probably won;t end up becoming a favourite episode in/with regard to’concerning’regarding many, as it really takes the pedal off the accelerator after the excitement at Hilltop and with Jesus and Carl sneaking into the Saviours' truck at the end of last week's episode. But we did acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure to see another corner of this impair’undermine d world and learn more with regards to’concerning’with respect to how the Saviours are affecting eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone nearby. Did we specifically need to spend an entire episode to do that? Perhaps not, but the dynamic between Tara and the Oceanside dwellers, peculiar ly, Sydney Park's Cyndie, who spares Tara's life when she washes up on their beach and helps her escape when the others possess’own’nurse decided to cover’budge her out to the in/with regard to’concerning’regarding est and give her the full Sopranos treatment (it's not the same zone’district’region , but we would've given the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue extra marks in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a Walker that looked like the guy from the Pine Barrens episode who escaped the mob duo). Oceanside's dynamic is interesting abundant’ample’plentiful , despite’in spite of’albeit it does feel like a setup in/with regard to’concerning’regarding later down the line and a distraction from other, more pressing plots. Perhaps, given the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's penchant in/with regard to’concerning’regarding longer episodes, it could possess’own’nurse been sprinkled between other stories? But full marks in/with regard to’concerning’regarding pulling off Tara's triumph-turns-to-tragedy return to Alexandria using no dialogue, just the look on her face as she learns what's been going on while she's been away.###Its beachside location is similar, despite’in spite of’albeit it hasn't suffered quite as much tragedy as in the TV backstory. It's situated near abundant’ample’plentiful to Alexandria and the other places we've visited so far that Tara can cover’budge back home without apparently needing a vehicle, but it's tough to tell exactly where it's located.###No idea yet, but if Heath did leave it, it's probably some way of communication. Maybe it stands in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Party Pooper Patrol, and he was nabbed by Negan's gang? Or perhaps it's just his keycard to CTU now that he's the new Jack Bauer. (In-joke alert! Corey Hawkins is starring in 24: Legacy, which means he may be gone from The Walking Dead in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a while)###Probably? It'll depend on how long Tara keeps their existence a secret. But you possess’own’nurse to figure that both Ezekiel and Natania's individual possess’own’nurse been introduced in/with regard to’concerning’regarding more than just a quick visit.###Read this season's previous reviews below…###The Walking Dead* Season 7, Episode 1: *The Day Will Come When You Won't Be###The Walking Dead* Season 7, Episode 2: *The Well###The Walking Dead* Season 7, Episode 3: *The Cell__The Walking Dead* Season 7, Episode 4: *Service###The Walking Dead* Season 7, Episode 5: *Go Getters###The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9pm on AMC in the States and Mondays at 9pm on Fox.
