re: The Walking Dead S9 E16 "The Storm" NO SPOILERS

Alpha and Bigfoot at the end we’re in the woods with zero snow on the ground. Did they leave to avoid the storm?

Was the whipping of her arm with the switch just a ritual she does to punish herself?

ETA. oops. I responded to Dawgfan. don’t spoil my curiosity with comic spoilers

I was wondering if we are supposed to believe that they migrate south for the winter every year.

I'm guessing the stress from Henry dying and then their home falling just caused to break up.

Probably some marital or relationship statistics on couples who lose children

Angela Kang saying on Talking Dead that The Whisperers in fact do migrate south for the winter like animals and took their herd with them.

you are a stupid motherfricker

Watching again. Gabe and Rosita really are an awkward couple. Gabe and anyone is, really. He's like the gay doctor on Lost in Space. We already know he's a total pussy who let his people die, then betrayed everyone, but he also talks like a guy who let his people die and betrayed everyone in kind of a foppish, asexual way.

It's like if Mr. Furley from Three's Company started boning Chrissy.

I'm cool with vague endings, but I watched twice with really expensive speakers and I couldn't understand who or what was speaking at the end besides the very last sentence

I just don't understand this episode or what the hell was going on. Why did the Kingdom fall? Cause the pipes burst? A fire? How long was it from when the people were on pikes? It had to be months later, cause people were all moved around. Plus people were in light clothing at the fair. I have never understood where they are supposed to be, is this Northern VA? How can the communities be this far apart?

I have more questions/observations.

First, they never explained how the Kingdom fell. It could not have been through war with the Whisperers as, the way I understood it, as long as the border was not violated there would be peace.

Second, why was everyone moving around in a blizzard instead of being hunkered down? I understand the Kingdom people, it was apparently no more, but what about the Alexandrians? It seemed they were moving house to house inside the walls. Those houses are like right next door to each other. I was thoroughly confused.

Finally, Alpha torturing herself preparing for something yet to come, I assume a war. She had Daryl and crew in her possession and let them go, establishing the border. She could have killed them right then and ended it. The Whisperers looked like they migrated South, so how would they know the border had been violated during a blizzard? So what exactly is she preparing herself for? From her perspective there should be a truce in place right now.
