"Promises Broken" is the seventh episode of the eleventh season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead.
[1] In the episode, Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) and Elijah (Okea Eme-Akwari) come up with a plan to infiltrate Meridian and take it back from the Reapers; Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Leah (Lynn Collins) come across another survivor on a scouting mission; and Eugene (Josh McDermitt), Ezekiel (Khary Payton), Princess (Paola Lázaro), and Shira (Chelle Ramos) work for their freedom while Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura) tries to get a meeting with the leader of the Commonwealth.
At the Commonwealth, Eugene, Ezekiel, and Princess clear walkers out of abandoned buildings with Stephanie as punishment for using the radio without authorization.
Yumiko's brother, Tomi, is happy in his new job as a baker, and begs her not to tell anyone that he was a surgeon before the apocalypse, but he is suddenly seized by Commonwealth forces.
Lance Hornsby tells Yumiko that if she becomes a legal counselor for Pamela Milton's cabinet, she might be able to free Tomi and her friends from community service.
The two argue as Stephanie kills another approaching walker, and the argument escalates when Eugene punches Sebastian for his lack of gratitude.
The critical consensus reads: "This installment of The Walking Dead doesn't contain a whole lot of chomp, but it effectively entwines disparate plot threads in a way that promises a big payoff soon enough.
