The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Episode 2 chronicled Michonne's side of the story before her epic reunion with Rick Grimes.
The Ones Who Live Episode 1 gave fans a much-needed rundown of what really happened to Rick. Fans saw him being scooped up by the Civic Republic Military's (CRM) helicopter in The Walking Dead Season 9 and (forcibly) becoming a member of the militia group.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live Episode 2 premiered on AMC on March 3.
The Cast of The Ones Who Live Episode 2
Andrew Lincoln - Rick Grimes
The Walking Dead mainstay Andrew Lincoln returns as Rick Grimes in The Ones Who Live.
While Rick feels hopeless after learning about the CRM's dominance over the other survival groups, he sees this as an opportunity to take down the militia group from the inside instead.
However, given the sheer power of the CRM over its constituents, Rick appears to have fully given up on the idea of going back to Alexandria and reuniting with Michonne and the rest of his friends and family.
Right on cue, Rick reunites with Michonne at the end of Episode 1 during a high-stakes mission outside the walls of the CRM.
In Episode 2, Rick tells Michonne that he is not with the CRM and he plans to fake her backstory so that the group will not kill her and let her inside the camp.
Lincoln is known for his roles in Love Actually, Teachers, and Afterlife.

Danai Gurira - Michonne Hawthorne
Danai Gurira brings Michonne Hawthorne to life in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.
Michonne has been on a long journey since her departure from The Walking Dead to find the missing Rick Grimes. The said quest finally comes to a close after Episode 1, but much to her shock, she finds Rick wearing a CRM uniform.
A good chunk of Episode 2 focused on Michonne's journey before the eventual reunion, showing her struggles while also finding (and unfortunately, losing) newfound friends along the way.
MCU fans may recognize Gurira for her role as Okoye in the Black Panther films, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
The actress also has credits in The Visitor and Pandemica.

Pollyanna McIntosh - Jadis
Jadis (played by Pollyanna McIntosh) is the ruthless leader of the CRM who will do anything to survive in the world of the undead.
Jadis' tenacious persona is what makes her a dangerous leader. Given that she has access to a wide array of resources, Jadis is a formidable enemy to Rick and Michonne.
The fact that Jadis is also aware of the pair's history from the past spells danger to the show's protagonist.
Jadis appears in Episode 2 as a looming figure who listens to Michonne's tapes after sneaking inside Rick's room. She tells Rick that she knows who Michonne really is and she is aware of where the rest of their family are.
McIntosh's notable credits include The Woman, Hap and Leonard, and Vikings: Valhalla.
