Happy Monday TV fans! After watching AMC’s The Walking Dead season 10 episode 7, Siddiq may have had “miles to go before he sleeps,” but he does still have promises to keep. The truth can be a dangerous thing, but once all of the pieces are put together, what else will be revealed? Please note MAJOR spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet.
In last night’s episode, “Open Your Eyes,” Siddiq’s flashes finally come together, as we learn the truth behind them. Meanwhile, Carol attempts to get some answers out of her prisoner and Lydia makes a choice.
My top 5 moments from The Walking Dead season 10 episode 7 are:
5
“Alpha drew a line and you need to choose what side you’re on.”
That may be so, but Carol also needs to remember that Lydia is more than a potential weapon against Alpha. She’s also a person and Daryl reminds her that she’s been through enough. That being said, Lydia does share some information with Carol about her mother using manipulation as a strategy.
She explains that if The Whisperers see a place like Alexandria, another way to survive will be revealed and it could destroy everything Alpha has worked so hard to put in place for them.
Lydia reminds Carol that “an idea like that is dangerous” and that it could spread. The idea of hope can spread quicker than any threat or sickness, but will Carol and the others be able to execute this plan effectively?
We’ll have to see how this turns out, but it’s clear that Lydia may be the key to all of this.

“He is one of them.”
Our forbidden Romeo and Juliet story continues, as Aaron and Gamma continue to meet together and bond. Aaron tells Gamma about his daughter and family, but Gamma has trouble opening up about her own sister.
It’s clear that Gamma is having second thoughts, recognizing the potential for goodness through Aaron, but Alpha whips her back into reality.
Although all bets might be off now that Gamma knows that Lydia is alive…
Will Gamma be the one to truly turn the tables on Alpha? Will Aaron get caught in the crossfire? I can’t wait to find out, but I think that Gamma’s character has a lot of potential and I’m waiting for her to do something truly significant.

“He bleeds until he answers.”
Carol means business, but she decides to first start off with some bread and jam. After the prisoner spits it back in her face, Carol is not playing nice anymore and shows off her potential skills as a torturer.
Daryl gets in on the action as well, but it looks like the prisoner is going to remain loyal to Alpha until the end, but Carol realizes that exposing that Lydia is alive might get him to talk.
Of course the prisoner dies before this can happen, as Dante tells Siddiq that he packed the wrong bag, which led to his untimely demise.
So much for that…

“I choose mine!”
After Carol brings Lydia to the line, revealing her to Gamma, Lydia realizes that Carol has been using her and tells her that she is just like her mother.
She may have a point here, as Carol is just acting without really thinking things through. Lydia decides to choose her own side and runs off, but where can she really go now?
It’s not like she can go back to her mother, but she’s not exactly safe out in the woods either…
Is she going to look for Negan? Will he be able to help her now that he is with The Whisperers?
Let’s hope that Daryl and Dog can help find her because Lydia is one of my favorite characters on the show and I would be devastated if we lost her.

“Open your eyes…”
This episode was jam-packed with a lot, but the scenes with Siddiq stole the show. We have been getting bits and pieces of Siddiq’s flashes sprinkled across each episode and they all led to this moment.
The guilt is clearly getting to Siddiq, as he even jumps in the water to find some kind of escape, but Rosita jumps in after him and he finally takes a moment to confide in her.
Siddiq explains that he blames himself for what happened because he simply did nothing and watched his friends die. Rosita tries to remind him that he has people who truly love him and that he is not alone, which was a touching moment between them.
Toward the end of the episode, Dante goes to see Siddiq to see how he is doing and Siddiq hears a clicking sound Dante is making, which triggers back the missing pieces.
It is revealed that Dante is a Whisperer and he is the one who held Siddiq back and made him watch his friends die. Siddiq tries to keep his cool with this revelation, but it’s too late, as Dante kills him in a shocking and heartbreaking scene.
Dante seems like he did truly care about Siddiq in some kind of sick and twisted way, but he does what he has to, realizing that Siddiq will expose him. Siddiq is also the only one who has realized that the water may be making people sick, which is another reason why Dante needs to eliminate him.
RIP Siddiq.
You will be missed!
Now that we know that Dante is an undercover Whisperer, who will be the one to unmask him…or I guess put the mask back on?
Will Rosita be able to get justice for Siddiq’s death?
Overall, this was a shocking and revealing episode. All of the pieces are coming together now, but let’s hope that Siddiq’s death was not in vain. Stay tuned for the mid-season finale next week!
