They eventually find Kelly near a stash of supplies that he and Magna have been taking from the Hilltop, as they do not yet fully trust the community.

After Brandon storms off, Negan is soon drawn to the son and promises that he will lead them in the right direction to the Hilltop where he and his mother can live peacefully.

Enraged by the senseless murder, Negan takes a stone and beats Brandon to death, then recovers the bat and his jacket, and continues on.

That night at the Hilltop, Daryl talks to Connie, having agreed not to inform the rest of the community and instead saying that they simply found the supplies, and tells her he understands the bond of family.

The site's critical consensus reads: "While packed with several gripping plot threads, a rewarding showcase of Negan is what truly makes 'What It Always Is' a stand out episode of the season.
