Judith spends time with a new friend named Mei. Daryl and Rosita continue their military training under Mercer and participate in a team exercise. When Rosita and her partner earn the General’s appreciation, Daryl is warned to be an individualist in the field. He is instructed to be a team player and not to focus on his own ways and rules. Sebastian flaunts his ego at Daryl, only for the latter to grow more enraged.
Carol goes through Ezekiel’s medical records and realizes that he is a long way from having surgery for his cancer due to his position on the waiting list.

Carol assures Lance to help Ezekiel get better. Connie becomes a journalist in the Commonwealth and begins to investigate class division in the community. Princess impresses Mercer to accompany her to the masquerade ball that Pamela is throwing, particularly to honor her father.
As the ball progresses, a former Commonwealth soldier named Tyler Davis holds Pamela’s assistant at knifepoint and accuses her of prioritizing the well-being of only the wealthy and the wealthy. elite. He expresses that he wants to be heard as an ordinary citizen in the community. Even though Pamela tries to calm him down by pretending to care about him, Tyler leaves the assistant behind and runs away. Mercer orders his soldiers to catch him.
End of episode 10 of season 11 of The Walking Dead: Are there thousands more who resist the Commonwealth? Is there an anti-Commonwealth group?
Even though Tyler runs away, Daryl follows and captures him, to ask Sebastian to take credit for it. When Pamela asks her soldiers to “take care of him”, Tyler warns the Governor that there are thousands to fight for equality and justice for workers and ordinary people in the community. Even the mighty Pamela is shaken by Tyler’s revelation and asks Lance if he’s right. Although the Deputy Governor dismisses his doubts, Rosita discovers evidence of such resistance brewing in the Commonwealth. She discovers a secret room in a house during a raid and encounters various posters and other materials that proclaim resistance and fight against the class segregation of the Commonwealth community.
Thanks to the Commonwealth, Pamela manages to maintain a self-sufficient and powerful community that looks impeccably like an admirable pre-apocalypse civilization. However, the foundation of such a community is nothing but labor exploitation and class segregation. Rather than a governor, Pamela is a tyrant who divides the rich and the poor to exploit the latter for the good of the former, which also includes her. From soldiers to ordinary workers, the underprivileged citizens of the Commonwealth sacrifice their blood and sweat for the joy of the rich.
Considering the social strata of the Commonwealth, it’s no wonder Tyler decides to vent his rage. The abundance of anti-Commonwealth documents that Rosita uncovers during her search indicates that Tyler is not alone. If not thousands, there must be a considerable number of people accompanying the ex-soldier on such a suicide mission. Since Tyler makes their presence known, a battle between the Commonwealth’s privileged and the protesters becomes inevitable. In future episodes, we may see the size and power of the group as Pamela should unravel the mystery behind such a secret society.
Will Ezekiel get the surgery? Will Lance help Carol?
When Carol realizes that her ex-husband Ezekiel is in a helpless state, she goes to the hospital to check his records. Thanks to Tomi, she learns that Ezekiel has no chance of getting the surgery he urgently needs due to the long waiting list. Through a case of wine, Carol convinces Lance that she can be of incredible help if he helps Ezekiel with the surgery. Lance, who is beginning to lose his importance in civilization in Pamela’s eyes, can use Carol to get what he wants. If Ezekiel’s surgery paves the way for a debt to Carol, Lance might consider her request.
As Deputy Governor of the Commonwealth, Lance is aware that his authority is more or less a toy in Pamela’s hands. If Carol can bolster his reputation and reliability by doing the jobs he’s supposed to do, Lance may think the surgery is nothing but a boon to Carol’s services. Since Mercer attracts incredible public support, Lance may realize that he should be more proactive in countering the general’s popularity and Carol may prove to be a perfect ally in doing the same. If so, we might see Lance pulling strings to secure Ezekiel’s surgery to secure Carol’s help and cooperation to change his image and reputation in front of Pamela.
