The Walking Dead: 'Maggie Rhee' Was The Best Moment Of The Season So Far

The Walking Dead has had an up-and-down kind of season so far. The premiere episode was a thrilling, bloody affair that had fans crying for hours. The next week was the polar opposite, as Carol and Ezekiel were keeping things light, and making people laugh. Episode three got 'Easy Street' stuck in your head, and featured mean men and torture. 

Episode four was, finally, a bit of normality for fans of the series. As Negan arrived in Alexandria to collect from Rick, most of the group was together again. This episode also saw Rick and the villain toe-to-toe, which makes for compelling television. Nothing major happened in the entire 90 minute episode, but it was incredibly entertaining.

Now, in last night's episode, things got back to the roller-coaster fans were getting used to. The pacing was a bit slower, and much of the episode stuck with the folks over at Hilltop.

While fans spent the majority of their Sunday night hating Gregory, Maggie had a lot going on in her story. She learned that the baby was alive, but she also had to learn to cope with the loss of Glenn. 

At the end of the episode, just as Jesus revealed Maggie and Sasha's true hiding place, Gregory was getting on his high-horse once again. Just as he started to say something about the Saviors being reasonable people, Maggie stole the entire show.

Before the sentence could leave Gregory's mouth, Maggie punched him square in the face. Then, she took Glenn's watch out of his pocket. 

What Maggie said next had fans fighting off tears, and easily became the best moment of this entire season. 

Gregory had messed up Maggie's name multiple times in the episode, and she corrected him, while declaring that Hilltop was now her home.

"This is our home now, so you'll learn to start to call me by my name. Not Marsha. Not Dear. Not Honey. Maggie. Maggie Rhee."

That last line will get you, every single time.

Maggie's last name has always been Greene, but this is the first time she has gone by something else. Since it's the apocalypse, there aren't official name-changes, or anything like that. She and Glenn never even really had a real wedding. He just asked her to marry him, and she said yes. 

Now that he's gone, she's choosing to honor him by carrying his name with her, forever. From now on, she will introduce herself as Maggie Rhee. 

This season has had some decent moments, but this one was easily the most memorable. This showed that love can survive, even in the face of pure evil. Maggie's name drop also keeps the spirit of Glenn alive, so fans don't have to miss him quite as much.

Glenn will always be a core member of Rick's group, and Maggie is making sure that no one forgets just how important he is.
