Squeeze (The Walking Dead)

Daryl, Carol, Aaron, Jerry, Connie, Kelly, and Magna are in the cave surrounded by a gargantuan horde of walkers. Alpha watches from above; Carol screams in anger at her. The group begins to move through the cave looking for an exit. Carol soon begins to suffer from claustrophobia; Connie comforts Carol. However, Magna angrily confronts Carol about pursuing Alpha and getting all of them trapped; Daryl intervenes. During a rest break, Daryl tells Carol that he can't turn his back on her anymore and reminds her that he previously begged her to talk to him; Carol finally opens up with an emotional statement: "I don't want to just kill Alpha. I want to hurt her. I want to make her regret everything. I want her to beg for forgiveness and then I want to kill her." The group is soon attacked by a group of Whisperers, which they kill except for the ones who manage to escape. The survivors follow them to find the exit and begin to squeeze through the narrow tunnels; Jerry almost gets bitten by a walker.

The group enters an old mine station where they find a possible exit and box of dynamite. Carol runs off with a stick of dynamite intending to destroy the horde below. She nearly falls into the hole, but is saved by Daryl; however, she drops the dynamite and it explodes below. The cave begins to collapse as the group starts to exit through the mine station above, with Jerry supporting a beam to aid their escape. Kelly and Aaron escape, but are attacked by awaiting Whisperers, which they kill. Connie and Magna search for Daryl and Carol, and help them escape. However, Connie and Magna stay behind to protect Jerry from incoming walkers, but Jerry is unable to support the beam any longer and escapes through the hole; Connie and Magna become trapped, as the rest of the dynamite immediately explodes causing the cave to implode. Daryl tries to remove the debris, but it's a fruitless effort; Carol blames herself for what has happened. Daryl then orders everyone to go back to Alexandria and inform the others where the horde is while he searches for another entrance to the cave.

At the Whisperers' camp, Alpha informs Beta and Gamma that the "enemy" has been watching them and has crossed the border, suspecting that there is a traitor among them and that the survivors must have been sending spies across the border. Alpha then assigns more guards at the border and instructs Gamma to carry out a message at the border to the survivors about the situation. Later, Negan suggests to Alpha that Gamma may be the traitor, but she threatens him and tells him to not spread paranoia among the camp. Later, after learning that Gamma never reached her destination, Alpha begins to suspect that the traitor actually is her. She then orders Beta to track her down and bring her back to the camp. However, Beta vows to murder her for what she has done, but Alpha quickly refutes this and assures that she will personally punish her in front of the Whisperers. Alpha later takes Negan, who believes she is going to kill him, deep into the forest. She then orders him to undress while she does as well, telling him that he is a "crass man" and reckons that he might appreciate a crass reward; the two proceed to kiss.
