In the most recent episode of "The Walking Dead," titled "JSS," the looming threat to the Alexandria safe zone came full circle with the arrival of the Wolves at the town's front (and back) door.

According to Variety, there has not been a moment's peace for the characters of the show since the season premiered over a week ago. Trouble all started with the gigantic zombie herd at Alexandria's doorstep, followed by a betrayal from within the town's own walls in the form of a honking horn. But now, the community has been exposed to the Wolves, and the group's arrival will undoubtedly impact the season astronomically.

In Episode 2, the ominous group of miscreants infiltrated the walls of the safe zone and mercilessly cut residents down with no regard for human life. They did so from the shadows, sneaking up on unsuspecting people and chopping them to pieces like hunks of meat on a carving board. 

In one scene, Morgan's (Lennie James) choice to let two of the Wolves go last season came back to haunt him. Even still, he continues to hold out hope for the redemption of his fellow man, no matter the destruction or violence he has seen people commit. Morgan cannot bring himself to kill his living adversaries, even when they have run through the community and killed many.

Fans can expect Morgan and Rick (Andrew Lincoln) to have a showdown at some point about this attitude.

Meanwhile, it is Carol (Melissa McBride) who has taken on the role of the true survivor. She has lost all of her naïve sentimentality from Season's 1 and 2 and is now the ultimate avenger. She has become the character who is willing to take care of the tough situations for the greater good, as evidenced in Season 4 when she dragged two infected people out of the prison and burned them.

More recently, she has played multiple roles in order to infiltrate different groups. She pretended at one point to be a sappy housewife, but painted a "W" on her forehead at a another in order to get in with the Wolves. All in all, she has proven that she is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her loved ones safe.
