LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: AMC's latest series 'The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live' witnesses the long-awaited reunion of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) who faced separation in the ninth season of the original 'Walking Dead' series.

However, their reunion is bittersweet as they meet in a life-threatening situation due to the looming presence of the CRM (Civic Republic Military). Michonne's eyes are filled with tears as she finally sees Rick alive after over five years of bridge explosion.

She hugs and kisses him, yet amid this tender reunion, she withholds details concerning their son, RJ Grimes.

Michonne is quick to observe Rick's fear and altered demeanor due to his experiences with the CRM.

Despite her love and unwavering trust in Rick, she senses that the present moment is not the opportune time to reveal the existence of their son, recognizing the emotional toll it could take on him.

Michonne is aware of the dangers and uncertainties and hesitates to disclose the truth until she can assess Rick's emotional state and strategically plan their next steps.

Michonne's decision to withhold information about RJ stems from a desire to shield Rick from additional emotional turmoil and to prevent potential distractions that could compromise their escape.

Understanding the potential consequences of such a revelation, she decides to wait until they are safely away from the CRM's reach.

The appearance of Judith and RJ is not confirmed yet. However, if it happens, it would be an emotional moment for Rick, and the fans of the franchise as well.

For those unaware, Rick fought to keep his son Carl alive but eventually lost him to a walker bite in Season 8 of the original series. Rick grappled with deep emotional wounds after losing his beloved son.

A potential reunion with his children holds the promise of healing, providing Rick with a second chance to guide his son through the trials of the post-apocalyptic world.
