The Walking Dead Season 9a Recap: Bye, Rick (For Now)! Hello, Whisperers! (VIDEO)

So let me get this straight…

Negan stole a helicopter, and he and Rick ended up fighting to the death over a waterfall – ending with both of them plunging to their untimely deaths?

Morgan and the rest of the cast from Fear the Walking Dead finally made their way to Alexandria – only for Morgan to leave one more time to find himself?

A time jump finds us in the Alexandria-Hilltop colony in the year 2687, where Mich-1, Dar-L, and the rest of the survivors must defend their very right to exist from a new wave of walkers – this time, with laster beams!

Daryl grabbed a shave, a haircut, and a quick shower?

If any of what you just read reminds you of the first-half of The Walking Dead's ninth season, then you really need a refresher course ahead of the series return to AMC on Sunday, February 10th. Thankfully, your friends at Skybound have you covered with their rundown of season 9a – right here below:

The second half of "The Walking Dead" Season 9 finds our groups of survivors, both old and new, continuing to deal with the impact of events that took place during the six years that have passed. Since the disappearance of Rick, many of these characters have become strangers to each other, and in some ways, strangers to themselves.

What they do know is that they are in undeniable danger. They will soon realize the world just beyond does not operate as they thought. The group's rules and ways of survival no longer guarantee their safety. A whole new threat has crossed their paths, and they soon discover it's unlike any threat they have encountered or endured before. The group will start to question what they think they see. What may appear to be normal in this post-apocalyptic world could actually be more disturbing and terrifying than when the apocalypse first broke out. All that is certain is the stakes are high and numerous.

Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, "The Walking Dead" tells the story of the months and years after a zombie apocalypse and follows a group of survivors who travel in search of a safe and secure home. The series is executive produced by chief content officer Scott M. Gimple, showrunner Angela Kang, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Dave Alpert, Greg Nicotero, Tom Luse and Denise Huth.
