When the couple returned, tails between their legs, Sherry offered to marry Negan herself if he’d spare Dwight’s life. Instead of say yes on the spot, she fled with Dwight and Sherry. Negan’s solution? The self-proclaimed “stand-up guy” would add her to his healthcare policy by marrying her. But, since Tina needed medication, which was hard to scavenge, the trio fell behind. There, the madman explained that Dwight, his “superhot wife and her superhot sister” used to work for points.

The next day, thinking the captive’s conversion was complete, Dwight took him to Negan’s posh quarters.

Finally, whether Daryl totally broke, he did at least break down in tears. ‘YOU’RE LUCKY’ | After a tense, enigmatic conversation between Dwight and Sherry, during which he asked her, “He good to you?” (“Yeah”), the scarred Savior tried a new tactic with Daryl, leaving him a Polaroid reminder of the friend he’d gotten killed. Later, Sherry hovered outside Daryl’s cell and reminded him that, when she’d said way back when that she was sorry for stealing from him, he’d answered, “You’re gonna be.” Well, she concluded, “I am.” But thankfully, Lucille wasn’t thirsty - whew! - so all Daryl got was a whupping by Negan’s henchmen. Or 3) he could work for Negan outright and “live like a king.” The choice seemed obvious to the psycho, but Daryl still didn’t relent and say, “OK, fine, count me in!” For a second, it looked like Negan was going to strike him out as he had Glenn and Abraham. 2) He could “work for points” but wish he was dead. Now he had three options: 1) Daryl could work for Negan as a dead man in the pen. “I am everywhere.” But, by escaping, Daryl had blown his chance to prove that he understood that fact. Once Negan was done recycling old material - “Are we pissin’ our pants yet?” - he asked some of his men who they were, and, well-trained, they replied, “Negan.” “See that?” he said. “There’s always more.” Daryl being Daryl, he ignored her warning and, in a matter of seconds, found himself surrounded by Saviors. “Whatever done to you, there’s more,” she whispered.

‘GO BACK WHILE YOU CAN’ | Back at the Saviors’ compound, Daryl had no sooner escaped from his cell than Sherry was beseeching him to turn back. (So maybe he does have a soul after all?) As he started down the road once more, Dwight aimed and fired. “But you know there’s nothing left” back there. To get his quarry moving again, he threatened to dig up the poor guy’s dead wife and feed her to the crows. “There’s one of him and all of us… why are we living like this?” Alas, Dwight was so hopeless - and so desperate to please his master - that he wouldn’t even grant Gordon’s request to be put down for good. There has to be another option besides cowering before Negan, Gordon argued. “Not anymore,” Gordon acknowledged (that “blast from the past” comment becoming clearer by the second). How could Dwight be loyal to Negan, anyway, after all the villain had done to him and his wife? Sherry’s “not my wife,” Dwight said. ROADKILL | The next day, when Dwight tracked down Gordon on the road, the runaway reminded him that they used to be friendly and asked why he couldn’t just let him go.
