She listens as Dwight explains that the Saviors will soon run out of ammo and insists they stay put until the siege is over. I hope, when it comes to Michonne, that she comes out of hers. It just doesn't make any kind of sense that she'd be so angry and unbending this far into the future. She reasons that Dwight shot her to save her life and probably couldn't break away to warn them about the coming attack though Daryl refuses to believe it. Six years after Rick's assumed death, Tara resides at the Hilltop Colony and serves as a co-leader to Jesus. Tara is now ready to help Sasha to bring Bob into the church since the group Gareth cut his leg and threw it on the ground outside the church. As part of a bargain to make him stay and fight, Tara promises to go with him tomorrow regardless of what happens. Their relationship seems repaired by the end of the episode, as Rick apologizes to her, which she accepts.

When Glenn is reunited with the others he decides not to mention Tara's involvement in the prison attack so she can have a fresh start with them. The Walking Dead season 10 spoilers: Michonne under threat from spy? They then encounter Michonne and Rosita, who reveal they are both heading to the Sanctuary as well and the group join forces. She had been around since Season 4 when she joined the Governor and the assault on the prison and was then spared and saved by Glenn. We don't know if this is all fallout from Rick or if something else is going on. She looks up to realize Abraham, Eugene, and Rosita have witnessed her heroic act. Tara meets Denise and asks why hasn't she met her yet. Rick has been that character from time to time. He reminds her he ran unopposed, but Tara suggests he should take Maggie's office and he refuses. There have been many over the years, and they often come out of whatever slump they're in or are killed off. Their relationship improves significantly in "Claimed"; Glenn seems to genuinely trust Tara by the end of the episode, and Tara even assisted him in getting Abraham to stop the truck so he could go back and look for Maggie. In the episode "The King, the Widow, and Rick", Tara expresses to Daryl her desire to kill Dwight, as revenge for him killing her girlfriend. Sometime after talking with Gabriel and Rachel about war training on Oceanside's beach Tara is kidnapped by the Whisperers.

He reveals she has sent another letter, where she admits to be happy. I find him much less jarring than Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). Eugene confides in Tara that he was the one to disable the bus carrying them to Washington, and despite her best judgement, Tara keeps his secret. Tara and the prisoners prepare to attack. Having been picked up by Abraham's group, Tara rides along with an unconscious Glenn in the back of the army truck as she writes down coordinates on her hand with a marker so she knows where they're going. Later that day, Tara inspects the bracelet that Cyndie gave to her. Rick tells Tara, Gabriel, Aaron and Anne to head back to Alexandria and the rest will go to an alternate route and spend the night at the Sanctuary. As the militia gets ambushed by walkers, she helps defend their prisoners, and watches as Morgan chases after Jared and his chain gang into the woods. In the episode "Four Walls and a Roof", upon hearing of Gareth's return, Abraham demands that the group leave for Washington right away. But I'm holding out hope it's something more.
