S09E07.
- Spoiler:
- Patrolling Eugene and Rosita get jumped by a horde. Rosita is injured and Eugene is missing.
Michonne escorts the new group to Hilltop. They stop at their old place on the way. It's been ransacked. Luke picks up some instruments he's been collecting over the years. They find shelter. When Michonne hears a noise, she accidentally cuts Luke's Stradivarius in half. He's mortified and lectures about art and music being the difference between humans and animals.
A horde descends on the shelter. The newbies realise it's the herd that attacked them, because their friend (apparently* Magna's squeeze) is one of the zombies.
We learn Jesus is head of Hilltop and that Maggie and Hershel left some time ago. A Hilltop patrol finds Rosita.
Carol and Henry visit an itinerant Daryl and his dog. He has apparently been out solo for years looking for Rick's body. They convince him to go to Hilltop with them.
Everyone at Hilltop is glad to see Daryl, Carol and Henry. But Daryl, his dog, Jesus and Aaron (who has been quietly staying in touch with Jesus for training and comms purposes) soon head out to look for the missing Eugene.

S09E08 - mid-season finale.
- Spoiler:
- The one where Jesus bites it.
Michonne's escort gets the newbies to Hilltop but the dreadlocked one isn't very welcome. Clearly some shit has gone down between Alexandria and Hilltop since Rick departed.
Henry gets on the 'shine with some rebellious Hilltop teens and incurs Earl's wrath.
The Rev tries to find some humanity in Negan but fails. Someone either accidentally or deliberately leaves Negan's cell door unlocked and he simply strolls out.
The Hilltop search party is stalked by a herd that seems to have intelligence. It doesn't fall for diversionary tactics and seems hell bent on finding Eugene.
The search party finds him first but then get surrounded in what looks like a foggy cemetery. They kill a bunch of walkers before one jumps Jesus and stabs him - dead. A recovered Rosita and the newbies arrive to help the group fend off the herd. Daryl cuts a "mask" off one of the killed "smart zombies" and finds it's a human. The Whisperers are covering themselves with sewn-together walker skins to disguise themselves.
The herd surrounds the group. This is the mid-season cliffhanger.

US shows like taking a mid season break, particularly over the Xmas break. Hence the mid season cliffhanger to make you tune in when it resumes.

yes and no. the 'big bad' in the comic books are being followed, but many things (including certain characters fates, and some not existing at all) are very different.

S09E09.
- Spoiler:
- Unsurprisingly, the A-team escapes the cemetery with dead Jesus without much trouble.
Judith encounters Negan escaping Alexandria. She threatens to shoot him but relents when he promises not to hurt any living folk. He heads back to Sanctuary but finds it desolate except for some zombies. He leaves on his hidden motorcycle.
The A-team come across a horde. Daryl shoots them in the legs until one reacts in pain - clearly a Whisperer. They kill the horde except for one begging female Whisperer (Lydia). They take her prisoner back to Hilltop. There Daryl threatens to stab her for answers, but Henry calls him off. Daryl then sits outside listening as Lydia and Henry bond.
Injured Eugene begins to confess his love for Rosita to her. Her reaction is to go outside and spew - she's pregnant to Siddiq - although I thought she was bonking Gabriel.
Sigh.
Judith shoots Negan off his bike. He says he's returning to Alexandria because there's nothing out there for him. Probably a ploy to lock in Judith's trust.
Alden and Luke are on a reconnaissance mission but get captured by a group of Whisperers.

Yeah I know, Nath. Struggling to stay interested.
I'm halfway through E10 - the Alpha backstory episode.

S09E10.
- Spoiler:
- We meet Alpha, head of the Whisperers and Lydia's Mum. We learn that they were part of a group holded up in a basement just after the Apocalypse. Through the episode via flashback we see how Alpha became strong and ruthless, after she accidentally kills a panicked basement member.
Tara leads a search team looking for Alden and Luke. They find a horde chowing down on their horses, which had been sliced open by Whisperers. Tara says it’s not safe and they head back, but Yumiko leads her team out again later.
Daryl hauls Henry out of the hole after he blabs to Lydia bout The Kingdom. Henry walks of in a huff at being used. He, probably foolishly, believes Lydia is good. Lydia tries to attack Daryl when he gives her some water, revealing her true lying self. She also reveals that her Mum beats her to make her strong.
In flashback we see that Lydia’s Dad is killed after a basement member dies and turns, right in front of little Lydia. Lydia tells Daryl that he died because he was soft. She says Daryl is hard and hints he should join her Mum’s group.
Yumiko’s group is in the dark and getting harassed by walkers and want to go back to Hilltop, but Kelly refuses to give up on Luke. Connie satays with her and the others go back.
Young fool Henry lets Lydia out of her cage. She eats worms in front of him and he tries one. She is about to thump him with a hammer when a crying baby sends her back to her childhood and spins her out. She decides she’d rather be back in her cell. They continue to bond, but Daryl enters and is unimpressed. Lydia then spills that she was pumping Henry for info to have some collateral for Alpha to take her back. She says her Mum isn’t coming for her. Lydia reveals that the story she told Henry and Daryl is a lie drilled into her by her Mum. It seems Alpha actually knifed her Dad when he refused to let her take Lydia out of the basement.
Yumiko apologises to Tara for disobeying her “stay put” order. Tara had sent out a crew to find them, and they return with Connie and Kelly. But there’s Whisperers following. Connie gets separated as the rescue crew and Kelly run for the gate. Alpha comes to the front of the Whisperers and demands the return of her daughter.

still no closer to finding out what happened between Michonne & Maggie, why the groups don't get along, and the reason for Michonne and Daryl's scars on their backs.

S09E11
- Spoiler:
- In flashback, Jerry reveals that Nabila is pregnant. Jesus and Tara ride up. This was the moment they left Alexandria for Hilltop permanently. Tara gives Ezekiel the Charter, which he strongly believes in. Back to the present, Zeke is wistfully looking over the Charter.
Zeke leads a group out to secure some supplies and, of all things a bulb for projector, to show the kids of The Kingdom some movies at the fair to inspire them. Yawn.
At Hilltop, Alpha dislikes the rebuffs of Daryl and calls in extra Whisperers. She claims they have not killed Alden and Luke. Alpha warns there will be conflict if Lydia is not handed over. Daryl refuses. Daryl goes out to confront Alpha. He tells her that they are heavily armed. Alpha responds by revealing they have Alden and Luke and want to trade them for Lydia.
Zeke’s group arrives at a walker-infested cinema. They attract the walkers out with loud music.
Connie is watching the Whisperers from a nearby corn field. Captured Luke notices. Behind his back he signs her to stay hidden and that walkers are coming. Daryl goes to get Lydia but she’s escaped. Silly Henry has released her. Alpha orders the crying baby to be left near Alden and Luke to attract walkers. Enid says she knows where Henry has gone and can talk him around. She sneaks out of Hilltop.
Hiding Connie can’t bear to watch the deserted baby be attacked by zombies so races to it. Alpha calls off some Whisperers and lets her escape to the corn with the baby. Deaf Connie can’t hear approaching walkers but fights each one off, before Daryl arrives to help her.
Henry is resistant to handing over Lydia for the safety of Luke and Alden. Lydia overhears Enid’s talk and tells Henry she wants to go. She kisses Henry.
Daryl brings returned-to-Hilltop Lydia out to Alpha. The swap is made. Alpha slaps grateful Lydia and tells her to call her “Alpha like all the rest”. Henry is pissed at Daryl for giving Lydia away. Daryl says he did what he had to do.
At the cinema, the Kingdom crew have fun hacking up a horde that has returned to the cinema. They get their bulb. They pass a sign, not noticing a spray-painted symbol - an upside town “V” with a hat, sort of like ‘pi’.
The ep ends with some warm and fuzzies between Zeke and Carol, Yumiko’s group, Tammy Rose and Earl, etc, yada, yada, then Daryl gets a note from Henry saying he’s going to get Lydia. Daryl heads out to find him. Connie goes with him.

S09E12.
- Spoiler:
- The Whisperers capture the tracking Henry. Alpha wavers between trusting and not with Lydia. They arrive back at their camp.
Eugene lectures the Rev about helping Rosita raise Siddiq's baby, given his love for her. He later agrees.
The recaged Negan suggests to Michonne that she should trust him now. He plays on the fact that he has overhead Council misgiving on the way Michonne is managing Alexandria's future. She doesn't buy it. She spies Judith watching them.
Tracking Daryl and Connie realise that the Whisperers have captured Henry.
Alpha gets challenged for leadership of the Whisperers over her decision to trade 2 Hilltop captives for Lydia. The challengers, a couple, are quickly dispatched. Henry sees first hand how ruthless and bloodthirsty Alpha is.
Judith tells Michonne that she visits Negan because he listens to her (no one else does). Michonne says people never really change but Judith argues that Michonne did.
Lydia gives Henry a sign that she is with him. Alpha's right-hand man senses that Lydia feels something for Henry. Daryl and Connie are watching nearby.
Michonne (reflecting on Judith's words) agrees to waive her veto rights on another Council vote regarding Alexandria's participation in the trade fair with the Kingdom. is dragged to a late night meeting with Alpha, Lydia and right-hand man. Lydia is given the option of knifing Henry. A herd attack on the camp spares a tearful Lydia from killing Henry. Whispering Daryl leads Henry and Lydia from the camp.

S09E13.
- Spoiler:
- Alpha’s right hand man Beta declares that Lydia will walk with the Whisperers again.
The Kingdom get a written threat from a group calling themselves the Highwaymen (the symbol from last week) declaring they own the roads, and demand goods or all traveller to the Fair will be attacked. But the Kingdom decides to fight.
Daryl, Connie, Henry and Lydia hole up in a high rise building. Lydia warns that they’ll be trapped and will get tracked down by Beta. Daryl says he’s sick of running and will fight. He and Connie hatch a plan to ambush Beta.
At Kingdom Carol recommends negotiating with the Highwaymen. They have a showdown and outflank the Highwaymen. Carol gives them an ultimatum – join the Kingdom and protect the roads. The leader of the Highwaymen, Ozzy, laughs off the suggestion but Carol, laughably, wins them over by offering them a movie!!!
Daryl watches a tender moment between Henry and Lydia but doesn’t trust her.
On the road to the Fair, Tara’s group is attacked by a herd. They are being overrun, when the Highwaymen come to their rescue.
In the highrise, Daryl and Connie pick off all of Beta’s walkers, until it’s just Daryl and Beta facing off. Daryl fights him off then shoves him down an elevator shaft. Beta survives and is sure to be back in Daryl’s face at some point.

S09E14.
- Spoiler:
- We find out why Michonne has become such a Alexandria-centric hardarse.
In flashback we see a former friend of Michonne’s, Jocelyn, has come to the gates of Alexandria injured. Michonne is delighted to see her and takes her in.
Turns out she’s playing Michonne. She robs the store and infirmary and kidnaps a number of Alexandria’s kids, including Judith.
Michonne and Daryl track them down to an old school. Seems Jocelyn is the head of a community of hardened kids. Michonne and Daryl get jumped, tied up and branded. They escape but Michonne is caught in a dilemma – there’s a bunch of kids between her and the caravan containing Alexandria’s kids. The kids guarding the caravan attack, leaving Michonne with no choice but to cut them down. She kills them all and saves Judith and the other kids.
Turns out 8 year old Judith remembers the whole thing from 4 years back. Michonne tells her after that horror she decided that only Alexandria counted.
A group of Whisperers see Michonne and others enter the Kingdom.

S09E15. Yikes!! 
- Spoiler:
- A bit of a GoT Red Wedding episode.
A small group from Hilltop is ambushed by the Whisperers on the way to the fair at Kingdom. Alpha scalps them.
At Kingdom, reps from the 4 communities agree to defend each other and they sign the Charter. We learn that Lydia has been granted asylum.
Rodney and Gage attempt to warn Lydia off Addy's crush Henry. She is upset and disappears.
A group, lead by Carol and Daryl, is nominated to go off from the Kingdom to protect Hilltop. On the way they meet up with the Highwaymen who say they've found signs of the earlier ambush. Stupidly the group follows drag marks off into the bush. They first get attacked by a herd then are surrounded and captured by the Whisperers.
At Kingdom Tara is itching to get back to Hilltop. Henry finds Lydia and reassures her that he likes her, not Addy. They kiss. Ezekiel meets a lady who calls herself Debbie, but it's actually Alpha with the scalp of a blonde killed in the ambush. She later corners Lydia, who rejects Alpha's demands to return. Alpha disowns her.
Later back to the woods, Alpha is addressing the captured. She takes Daryl off to see a massive herd, which implanted Whisperers control. She says they won't be killed or have the herd turned on them if they agree to a separation of lands - south is Whisperer territory, north is for the Good Guys.
Back at Kingdom it appears many have gone missing (presumably spirited away by infiltrating Whisperers like Alpha).
Alpha asks Beta for a quiet moment. She sheds a tear for the "loss" of Lydia. Another Whisperer sees her grief. Alpha calls the witnesser over and stabs him in the head. Can't let the team know she's weak.
Daryl catches up with the other released captives. They find a bloodied Siddiq who points them off in the distance. They ascend a rise and see a line of poles with heads on top. We see the now zombie heads are Highwaymen Ozzy and Alek, DJ, Frankie, Tammy Rose, Addy and Rodney, and then, Red Wedding style, major players Enid, Tara and Henry. Wasn't expecting that!!!
Siddiq addresses the crowd at Kingdom and tells of the bravery of the fallen, and how they fought for each other, and how they must be honoured.
Ep ends with Daryl and Lydia at the now headless spikes. Lydia leaves her Hilltop medallion at the base of Henry's spike.
