"The First Day of the Rest of Your Life" is a satisfying conclusion to a gripping season, setting the stage for the next chapter in the survivors' journey
In a dark, enclosed coffin, Sasha is taken to Alexandria as a hostage to be used for bargaining purposes. While listening to music, she takes Eugene's poison pills, and peacefully dies during the journey. Dwight offers to be an "inside man" to help take Negan down. He reveals that Negan is coming to Alexandria. Rick and his group bring in the Scavengers, and prepare for the Saviors' arrival by planting explosives in trucks near the community's front gate.
The Saviors arrive, and the Survivors is shocked to see Eugene acting as their spokesperson. Rick gives the okay to set off the bombs, only to discover that the Scavengers have betrayed them, secretly disarming the devices. Jadis then holds a gun on Rick, as Negan arrives and reveals Sasha's coffin. Thinking that Sasha is still alive inside, Negan offers to let her live if the Survivors surrenders and disarms themselves. As he opens the coffin Sasha, now a Walker, lunges at him. The Alexandrians take advantage of the confusion, firing on the Saviors.
While the battle rages around them, Jadis shoots Rick in the side, then forces him to march back to Negan, whose people saved him from Sasha. Michonne, who had attempted to stop Jadis, is now fighting for her life against a female Savior.
Negan has Carl and Rick lined up, and threatens to use Lucille to end both of their lives. Rick will not be cowed again, however, and tells Negan that as he once said before, someday he will kill him. Negan is unimpressed, and prepares to kill Carl. Just then, however, Ezekiel's tiger leaps in, killing a nearby guard. Negan flees, as fighters from both the Kingdom and the Hilltop arrive to save the Alexandrians.
Negan escapes during the battle, as does Jadis. Their people regroup back at the Sanctuary, as Negan plans his next move. Back at Alexandria, Rick finds Michonne, who was severely beaten before killing her opponent. As Michonne lies in bed, healing from her injuries, Maggie speaks to a combined group of residents from Alexandria, the Hilltop, and the Kingdom. She says that the journey has been long, but they have become a family, and this is just the beginning.
"The First Day of the Rest of Your Life" is a thrilling and action-packed season finale that brings several storylines to a dramatic conclusion. The episode follows Rick and the group as they launch an all-out assault on the Savior compound in an attempt to end Negan's reign of terror once and for all. The episode is notable for its intense and suspenseful action sequences, particularly the climactic battle between Rick and Negan.
One of the most memorable scenes in the episode is when Negan is finally defeated and captured by Rick, signaling a major victory for the survivors and a turning point in their struggle against the Saviors. This moment is a culmination of the season-long conflict between Rick and Negan, and sets the stage for the challenges and conflicts the group will face in the future. Overall, "The First Day of the Rest of Your Life" is a satisfying conclusion to a gripping season, setting the stage for the next chapter in the survivors' journey.
