THE SOUND OF GLASS SHATTERING CAUGHT A LOT OF PEOPLE'S ATTENTION.

Finn grabbed Liam while Vivian clutched Judith to her chest. The Davis siblings ran towards the source of the noise, ending up in front of Jessie's house, where Rick and Pete were physically fighting each other.

Quite the crowd had gathered, basically everyone. Both the men had cuts across their face from the glass, and they were rolling around on the asphalt, taking turns punching and choking each other out.

Jessie tried to get Pete off of Rick, but the man slapped her away. It gave Rick the distraction he needed to get on top.

But when Carl went to stop him, Rick pushed him away. Vivian was quick to hand Judith over to Debbie before going to the boy and helping him to his feet, "Are you okay?" She asked him, cupping his cheeks,

He nodded, his eyes moving back to his father. Vivian kept him against her, the two of them watching as Rick got the upper hand and got a choke hold on Pete,

"Stop it right now." Deanna demanded as she ran up to the crowd,

"You touch them again and I'll kill you." Vivian could hear Rick growl into Pete's ear,

"Damn it, Rick!" Deanna cried out angrily, "I said stop."

Tobin went to separate the two, and Rick pulled away from Pete. He moved onto his knees and pulled his gun out, aiming it at the man, "Or what? You gonna kick me out?"

He could get them all banished from Alexandria.

"Put that gun down, Rick." Deanna begged, her hands up in surrender,

He lowered the gun, "You still don't get it." He looked around at all of them, "None of you do! We know what needs to be done and we do it. We're the ones who live. You, you just sit and plan and hesitate. You pretend like you know when you don't." Rick was still swinging the gun around and Vivian's nerves grew,

He looked like a psychopath, with blood running down his face and the crazy look in his eyes.

Vivian wanted to say she's never seen him like this before, but that would be a lie. She's seen this side of Rick many times before.

"You wish things weren't what they are. Well, you want to live? You want this place to stay standing? Your way of doing things is done. Things don't get better because you want them to. Starting right now, we have to live in the real world. We have to control who lives here." Rick told Deanna,
