Edwin tries to convince Rick and the group to die with him, but that wasn’t an option for Rick. Because the CDC is running out of power to stay in operation, Jenner explains that the entire complex will self-destruct in a matter of minutes. Their hopes are almost immediately shattered, when they realize Edwin is the only remaining doctor, and the quest for a cure seems to be long dead. When they finally arrive, they are disheartened by the number of walkers surrounding the facility, but receive some hope when Dr. Covered in Ethan’s blood, Rick looked at all the frightened people and scoffed, “ What?” Considering this was Rick’s very first time at the Hilltop, killing one of their people right off the bat was probably not the best move.īy the end of Season 1 (which was only 6 episodes), Rick and his crew decided it would behoove them to try to make it to the CDC. What makes this so shocking is how unphased Rick was by the entire situation. The Hilltop colonists stand horrified as they watch Rick kill one of their own. Without hesitation, Rick digs his fingers into Ethan’s throat, causing him to immediately drop to the ground and bleed out. Ethan pins Rick down, and says that anyone who tries to kill him is also killing Craig. A fight breaks out between the Hilltop and Rick’s group, as both sides try to protect their own people. Rick pounces on Ethan and tackles him to the ground. Ethan apologizes to Gregory, then stabs him in the stomach. Upon return from a meeting with the Saviors, Ethan, a member of the Hilltop, tells a confused Gregory (what else is new) that Negan killed some of their people because the delivery of goods wasn’t as big as they agreed to.Įthan explains that Negan is holding Ethan’s brother, Craig, hostage until Ethan delivers a message to Gregory. Gregory and his Hilltop residents are backed into a less-than-ideal trade deal with the Saviors, with no real hope of getting out of it if they wanted to stay safe. In “ Knots Untie,” the episode preceding the group’s attack on the sleepy Saviors, Rick’s animalistic instincts startle the members of the peaceful Hilltop community. While it was certainly surprising, killing Pete was long overdue for the safety of others. Rick’s learned from his past mistakes, and knew that if he let Pete live, everyone’s lives would be at risk. What’s most startling about this moment isn’t that Rick kills him, but how easily he seems to do it. A distraught Deanna tells Rick to “do it,” and Rick, in the blink of an eye, shoots Pete in the head. When Deanna’s husband Reg tries to calm Pete down, Pete slices his throat. Pete threatens Rick with Michonne’s katana, and, in a drunken rage, screams at Rick that he isn’t one of them. Pete’s life comes to a bloody end in the Season 5 finale, when he confronts Deanna, Rick, and the rest of the group who surround a nighttime campfire. Season 5 featured several arguments between Rick and Pete, especially when Rick encourages Jessie to speak up and defend herself. It didn’t seem like Pete was going to change, and Rick was fed up watching Jessie repeatedly suffer her husband’s drunken wrath. Pete was a pretty horrible dude, as he abused his wife, Jessie, and their sons Ron and Sam. A significant issue was the constant conflict between Rick and Alexandrian Pete Anderson. Despite being presented as an idyllic refuge, the Alexandria Safe-Zone was a source of a lot of problems.
