Did she want to go into difficulty hard and come out soft like the carrot, go in soft and come out hard like the egg, or be transformed into something better by the experience, like the coffee? Her mother put a carrot, an egg, and some coffee in boiling water. I absolutely loved Paula’s speech inspired by the inspirational email about the woman who wanted to give up. Maggie countered with the perfect: “Was it ever smart to get knocked up?”
Paula thought that Maggie was crazy to get “knocked up”. They could not believe in Paula’s blind form of survivalism any more and needed to start working toward building a civilization. All of her speeches to Carol and Maggie about how they need to be stronger in order to survive and how the only point of living any more is to keep standing were what some of the smarter Alexandrians (like Maggie and Michonne) were starting to fight against. Just as Melissa McBride needs an Emmy, so does Alicia Witt, who was absolutely amazing as Paula (and equally fantastic as Cybill Shepherd’s daughter on the late sitcom Cybill). ‘You’re supposed to want to be the coffee beans’ Where they should be allies, they were set apart as adversaries, up until the end, when they had to kill each other. She could not find a way to bond with Maggie as fellow mothers because everything in the world was set against them. She said she was sorry, but Molly didn’t believe her. Maggie also had a hard time eliciting empathy from Molly, who lost a baby of her own. There have been some who have offered alternatives – namely Morgan and Gregory, the leader of Hilltop – but neither of those are considered viable by the residents of Alexandria. I think that was a key component of this season: Rick and his crew realizing that if they continued on this path, they would be just as bad as everyone else. One of my favorite scenes was when Molly, who said the line above, was interrogating Maggie. The protection wasn’t a ruse: Carol really wanted to keep it alive.

However, when they were out to break free and Carol didn’t want to kill the last two women, she shot Molly, who tried to slice the bun out of Maggie’s oven. At first, when she told the smoker that she would hurt the baby, I thought it was a way for Carol to get some sympathy for the both of them, to get the Saviors to show some compassion and not kill them quite yet. I’m still not sure if that was exactly part of the plan, but she definitely seems to be protective of the child. You should know that’Ĭarol definitely made a big move by telling their captors that Maggie was pregnant.
She showed a reluctance to kill, which made them think she was weak and gave her just the opening she needed to free herself and Maggie. What was so heart-wrenching was that she was using real events to do it, bringing up her abusive husband and losing her daughter. The same thing happened here: she bided her time, making all the women think she was a “scared little bird” when really she was the biggest badass in the room. That is always Carol’s greatest weapon, misdirecting people and getting them to underestimate her and then turning around and snapping their necks where they stand. When they got tied up and Carol got her hands on some rosary beads and started freaking out, we all knew that she had some kind of plan in mind. She started acting as soon as Paula and her crew took Carol and Maggie to a safe house.
