At first, Rick expresses anger towards Michonne for forcibly bringing him along, insisting that he should return to the Civic Republic to protect their loved ones from potential danger.

However, his perspective shifts when he witnesses the catastrophic crash of their helicopter into a building, realizing they narrowly escaped death by jumping in time.

Rick and Michonne also recognize that the crash will lead the CRM to believe they died in the incident, which indeed occurs when another CRM helicopter locates the wreckage and incinerates it to erase traces of the organization's existence.

This turn of events presents the perfect opportunity for Rick and Michonne to safely return to Alexandria.

Cornered by walkers inside a Greenwood building, Michonne urges Rick to come back home with her.

But Rick hesitates, afraid of the consequences if the CRM or Jadis Stokes (Pollyanna McIntosh) were to find them and harm their loved ones.

Despite his fears, Michonne convinces him that they are stronger together and can overcome any obstacles.

Together, they manage to flee the collapsing building, dispatch the walkers, and escape in a car.

'The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live' is available to stream on AMC+.
