Jadis institute Rick injure as a CRM helicopter approached her location , which allow both characters to get together the Civic Republic . Jadis lie about Rick being a Bas she knew the CRM killed As and need to give Rick a fair chance at endurance .
Rick being trapped with the CRM make a fantastic premise forThe Ones Who Live , which permit Danai Gurira to recapitulate her role as Michonne . However , thing could have been very different had Jadis traded someone else to the group , and it almost happened . While Rick was formally mail to the CRM in time of year 9,Jadis nearly charge a different main character to the group back in time of year 7.If Jadis move through with her programme , it may have forestall Rick and Michonne ’s spinoff from happening , or it would have seriously interpolate it , as well asThe Walking Dead ’s ending .
Jadis Was Probably Going To Send Gabriel To The CRM In The Walking Dead Season 7
Back inThe walk Deadseason 7 , Jadis looked like she was pass to post Gabriel to the CRM . In season 9 , Jadis was urgently search for someone to trade in an endeavor to unite the group . Before she used Rick as her ticket into the CRM , she nearly deal Gabriel instead . give Gabriel was one of the weak members of Rick ’s mathematical group , he was an leisurely mark for Jadis , who simply plan on trade him in exchange for solid food and other supply . Jadis had Gabriel catch in season 7 , but Rick prevented his ally from being sell .
In season 7 , sequence 10 , Rick and his group went to the Junkyard to negotiate Gabriel ’s firing . Had Rick not shown up , Jadis would likely have given Gabriel to the CRMas her masses already had a human relationship with the military faction by this point . Jadis ' backstory with the CRMis complicated , but she seemingly got supplies in homecoming for trading people to the CRM , meaning Gabriel would have been her next victim . Ironically , Rick showing up and negotiating with Jadis serve save Gabriel from the same fate that Rick would suffer two seasons later .
Gabriel Would Have Been A “B” (& Made A Consignee)
When Jadis first attempt to ship Gabriel to the CRM , he would have been a B and become a consignee if successfully deal . The Walking Deadfinally explained the CRM ’s A and B meaninginThe Ones Who Live , bring out that As are leader that will die for what they believe in while Bs are ordinary people trying to survive . Given how cowardly Gabriel was when debuting in the series , he would have been a B as he had n’t completed his full redemption arc by season 7 , but this would in reality have gain him when it comes to the CRM .
The CRM kills As since they are seen as a threat , while Bs are require on as consignees . At this point in the series , Gabriel would have been give a comparatively comfortable life in the CRM , which he would have mayhap embraced . However , when Jadis catch him again in time of year 9 , she ca n’t go through with trading Gabriel to the military group , given how much he has come on as a character . Jadis even secernate Gabriel , " All this time I think you were a B " , suggesting that he had evolved and become a valorous leader inThe walk Dead .
While Rick and Michonne have been at the heart of The Ones Who Live , the spinoff seems to be subtly teasing a cameo from a fundamental Walking Dead character .
Gabriel May Have Joined Okafor’s CRM Rebellion
Although Gabriel was once a barn , there is a possibility he may have join Okafor ’s rebellion . Had Jadis shipped him to the CRM in time of year 9 , he would have been strong enough to oppose them , while also voguish enough not to divulge his true nature . WithOkafor being a CRM rebel inThe Walking Deadspinoff , Gabriel may have supported his revolution and helped Okafor change the mathematical group from within . Even if he was traded in time of year 7 , it is potential Gabriel would still have gone through the same fibre arc and progression and may have been recruited by Okafor .
On the other hand , without Rick and his other allies at Alexandria , he might have persist the same fearful version of himself that rooter abominate . At Alexandria , Gabriel was hem in by As who influence and inspired him , whereas being a consignee would have border him with other regular survivors . This play up how crucial Rick ’s grouping was to his survival and exploitation , as well as how unlike Gabriel ’s narration could have been . If he had been with the CRM when Rick go far inThe unity Who populate , Gabriel could have been make or break for Rick and Michonne ’s chances at escaping .
