The Walking Dead season 7 episode 2, titled "The Well," takes us on a journey with Carol and Morgan as they find themselves in a new community called "The Kingdom." Led by a man named King Ezekiel, The Kingdom is a peaceful and prosperous community that is protected by brave warriors known as the "The Knights."
Upon arrival, Carol is skeptical of the community's idyllic lifestyle and refuses to engage with the inhabitants, while Morgan is curious to learn more about the community and its charismatic leader. King Ezekiel's desire to form an alliance with Rick and the Alexandria Safe-Zone is revealed, but Carol's unwillingness to trust is a major hurdle.
As Carol explores The Kingdom, she encounters a man named Jerry, who provides some comic relief amidst the tension. Meanwhile, Morgan has an unexpected encounter with a member of The Kingdom's ruling class, which leads him to an important realization about the community's inner workings.
As the episode progresses, we witness the contrast between The Kingdom and the brutal survivalist mentality of other communities in the post-apocalyptic world. It becomes clear that King Ezekiel's leadership style is unique and provides a sense of hope to his people in an otherwise hopeless time.
Overall, "The Well" showcases the introduction of a new community to the series that offers a fresh perspective on life after the zombie apocalypse. The dynamic between Carol and Morgan and their respective reactions to The Kingdom provide an interesting contrast that will undoubtedly play out as the season progresses.
