As they shut in on him, he has visions of family and friends he’s misplaced over time, together with Shane (Jon Bernthal), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) and his first spouse, Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies), driving house the impression that these are Rick’s remaining moments on earth.

(Using a radio to speak with the pilot, she refers to “As” and “Bs,” insisting that Rick is an A, which is certain to determine into “The Ones Who Live.”) Badly banged up, he’s positioned on a stretcher and given an intravenous drip, and he drifts off to sleep as Jadis consoles him.

(Carl, Rick’s first son and a longtime character within the present, died in Season 8.) The time bounce gave Michonne room to grieve offscreen, though as we see once we meet up with her, she nonetheless holds out hope of discovering Rick once more someday.
Does she know the place Rick is?
Right earlier than his dramatic rescue, Rick set off a bundle of dynamite to wipe out the horde of walkers chasing him, throwing his physique out of harms means however making it appear to his family and friends as if he had died within the explosion. After the time bounce, everybody appears to have accepted that Rick died that day although Michonne stays reluctant to thoroughly consider it.
