"The Same Boat" is the thirteenth episode of the sixth season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on March 13, 2016.

This episode focuses on the characters of Carol (Melissa McBride) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan), who are captured by members of Negan's group known as the Saviors.

It marks a turning point in an ongoing plot arc for Carol, one of the most ruthless members of Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) group, who is forced to re-examine herself as she is confronted by a remorseless killer named Paula (Alicia Witt).

Carol shoots Donnie in the left arm before she and Maggie are surrounded, surrendering to three other Saviors: Paula, Michelle (Jeananne Goossen), and Molly (Jill Jane Clements).

While awaiting reinforcements and deciding their next move, Paula and her group bring Carol and Maggie to a former slaughterhouse, where the Saviors have cached supplies guarded by trapped walkers.

Paula, Michelle, and Molly prepare to flee the moment their reinforcements arrive or to ambush Rick's group should he get to the slaughterhouse first.

The critics' consensus reads: "The Same Boat" takes a strong female focus by continuing Carol's arc while deepening viewer anticipation for Negan's ominous arrival.

[7] Laura Prudom from Variety praised the episode and wrote that it is "an incisive chamber piece that serves as a compelling analogue to last week's "Not Tomorrow Yet" in its surprisingly deep examination of moral relativism, ably penned by Angela Kang and directed with claustrophobic intensity by Billy Gierhart".
