"Here’s Not Here” – Episode 6.04 -Prime
Opening scene: The word ‘Now’ flashes on the screen. Morgan walks into shot and looks into the camera and says, (paraphrased) “You said you like talking. I remember that. You said you want everything I have. Well here it is. Every last bit.”
The word ‘Then” flashes on the screen.
Morgan is pacing in his apartment where Rick and Michonne found him in ‘Clear.’ He accidentally kicks over a gas lamp while ranting to himself like a loon. “You had the knife. You had the gun. You were supposed to…don’t lie…you know.” Morgan ignores the rising flames. End scene.
After opening credits: Morgan is burning walkers in a clearing at night. (This is from the sneak peek. Source believes that this is the firelight that Daryl and Aaron see in the distance during season 5)
As we flash back and forth throughout the episode we see Morgan’s journey to Alexandria. During the first part of the episode, a stranger (played by John Carroll Lynch) has Morgan locked up in a cell in his house. In the second half of the episodes, they are best buds and Cheesemaker is teaching Morgan how to be a Ninja Turtle with his stick.
Just before we flash back to the present near the end of the episode, we see Morgan walking along some train tracks and stops to look at a sign. It’s a map to Terminus!
[Present] Morgan finishes his story and the camera then reveals he is talking to a Wolf. It's the one he bopped on the head in JSS (played by Benedict Samuels). He says to Morgan, “I bet you notice I’m sweating.” Then Benedict-The-Wolf lifts his shirt to reveal he’s been bitten. After more conversation which involves the tied up, bitten Wolf threatening to kill Morgan, Morgan leaves the room and locks the door behind him. He heads upstairs and goes outside. Morgan’s attention is drawn by something in the distance and he runs off.
