But since Daryl’s exclusive to the show, Alpha points a shotgun at Rick and takes him to see her horde of walkers and Whisperers at the top of a building, not a cliff. Alpha approaches our heroes with a bloody knife and says she ran into trouble. This scene is almost identical to went down in Issues 143 and 144 of the comics. She mocks his community for being a shrine to an old world and proclaims her group is right because they returned to nature.
She then points her shotgun at Daryl and escorts him to a cliff overlooking tens of thousands of walkers and Whisperers.
As Alpha speaks she wipes blood off her knife, saying she ran into trouble on the road.

She doesn’t talk to Ezekiel, but people were acting suspicious of this seemingly new person. In Issue 143 of the comics, Alpha also plays dress-up at the fair, but she goes straight bald because most people hadn’t seen her yet. Feeling betrayed, Alpha disowns her and leaves. She tries convincing her to come back with her but Lydia refuses. Once she makes it to Kingdom, Alpha checks out the booths, chats up Ezekiel, and eventually finds Lydia at the movie. In the show, Alpha murders a cute Hilltop couple so she can scalp the woman and cosplay as her at the Fair.

Some quick differences: in the comics, the Fair is held in Alexandria, not the Kingdom. We’ll discuss in detail some of the differences below, but it was mostly the same as Issue 144 of the comics. The crux of this week’s episode centered around The Fair.
