The Walking Dead Season 9 – TV Series

Episodes 01

“A New Beginning”

Eighteen months after Negan’s defeat, the communities are working on rebuilding society. The Sanctuary suffers from infertile ground and underlying support for Negan. Rick leads a trek to a Washington, D.C. museum to recover pioneering supplies; on the way back, they find the main bridge to Hilltop has been broken by a storm, forcing them to detour. A young man, Ken, is killed while protecting the group’s horses from walkers. Gregory, ousted as Hilltop’s leader, convinces Ken’s father, Earl, to try to assassinate Maggie but he fails. Rick and Michonne ask Maggie for Hilltop’s help in providing for the Sanctuary but she refuses. That evening, Maggie has Gregory publicly executed for his actions.

Episodes 02

“The Bridge”

A month after Gregory’s death, the communities work together to repair the bridge; several Saviors have gone missing since construction began. After some persuasion, Maggie decides to deliver food to a starving Sanctuary. A herd approaches the repair crew after Justin fails to sound an alarm and Aaron’s arm is crushed under a log. Daryl rescues Aaron and Enid is forced to amputate Aaron’s arm to keep him alive. Anne and Gabriel pursue a romantic relationship but Anne takes note of a nearby helicopter. Rick updates an incarcerated Negan on the bridge’s progress, and Negan warns him that his vision will fail. Justin is banished and on his way back to the Sanctuary, he is abducted.

Episodes 03

“Warning Signs”

After Justin is discovered dead, Arat goes missing as well, angering the Saviors and postponing the construction on the bridge. Rick asks Gabriel to follow Anne, who is revealed to have been trading people to a mysterious ally in exchange for supplies. Gabriel confronts her, forcing her to incapacitate him. Daryl and Maggie learn that Oceanside has been capturing and killing the Saviors, including Arat, as revenge for killing Oceanside’s men. They walk away as Cyndie kills Arat and they decide to ignore “Rick’s way” and confront Negan.

Episodes 04

“The Obliged”

Jesus tells Rick about Maggie’s intention to assassinate Negan, and Rick tries to delay her entry into Alexandria. Anne plans to send Gabriel away to her mysterious ally but changes her mind and abandons him instead. The Saviors steal guns and confront Carol over Oceanside’s actions; a riot ensues and the gunfire leads a walker herd to the work camp. Rick takes a horse to lead the herd away from the camp but the horse gets spooked and throws him off onto a concrete slab, impaling his torso with rebar and knocking him unconscious.

Episodes 05

“What Comes After”

Critically wounded and weak, Rick attempts to draw the herd away on horseback. Maggie goes to execute Negan, but after realizing that he is worse than dead already, she abandons the attempt. Rick leads the walkers onto the bridge and apparently sacrifices himself by blowing it up, stopping the herd. Unknown to everyone, Rick is found alive and rescued by Anne, who contacts her allies in the helicopter. They gather the duo and fly to parts unknown. Six years later, Judith rescues a new group of survivors from walkers.

“Who Are You Now?”

After much resistance, Judith convinces Michonne to help Magna’s group by escorting them to Hilltop. While setting up radio transmitting equipment, Rosita and Eugene are followed by a strangely-acting herd of walkers. Carol takes the teenage Henry to Hilltop to apprentice as a blacksmith; they are ambushed by Jed, Regina and several former Saviors who steal their supplies. Carol later burns the group alive and takes Henry to visit Daryl, who is living alone in the wilderness. Negan remains a prisoner in Alexandria but has apparently adopted a less antagonistic attitude.

Episodes 07

Michonne leads Magna’s group towards the Hilltop but refuses to travel all the way, fearing a confrontation with Maggie. She learns from Siddiq that Maggie recently left the Hilltop to help Georgie build another community, leaving Jesus and Tara in charge. Michonne brings Magna’s group to their former camp, allowing Luke to recover some of the musical instruments he had been scavenging. While Jesus and Aaron are discussing how to bring Hilltop and Alexandria closer together, they see a flare shot by an injured Rosita, who informs them of Eugene’s whereabouts. Daryl escorts Carol and Henry to Hilltop for Henry to apprentice as a blacksmith. Later, Jesus, Aaron and Daryl leave to search for Eugene.

Episodes 08

“Evolution”

After Gabriel accidentally leaves his cell unlocked, Negan escapes from confinement. Henry begins his apprenticeship with Earl but sneaks outside Hilltop and gets drunk, leading to his being temporarily imprisoned. Magna’s group is accepted into Hilltop but are told by Tara that they must “earn their keep”. Daryl, Jesus and Aaron find Eugene, who reveals that he heard walkers whispering to each other, suggesting that they are evolving. The whispering herd pursues the group and corners them in a cemetery. Michonne, Magna and Yumiko arrive to help but Jesus is killed after a “walker” stabs him through the chest. After fending off the herd, the group discovers that the whispering walkers are indeed people wearing walker skins. The Whisperers suddenly surround the group.

Episodes 09

“Adaptation”

Michonne’s group manages to escape the cemetery and they capture a young Whisperer, Lydia, on their way back to Hilltop. Michonne and Daryl attempt to get answers from the girl without much luck, though she admits that her mother is still alive and that her people live among the walkers. Rosita tells Siddiq that she is pregnant with his baby. Tara agrees to let Magna’s group stay at Hilltop, while Michonne plans to return to Alexandria to warn her people of the new threat.
