Connie's still missing (as actress Lauren Ridloff dropped away briefly to film Marvel's Eternals) so Kelly and Daryl, intermittently, are hunting down clues for her.
"Home Sweet Home" does involve Angel Theory's Kelly a bit more than usual, who's one of the many underserved characters in this show's massive ensemble (honestly, most of them come from Magda's group that arrived in during Season 9).

And as an indicator of what the rest of these limbo episodes might offer, it seems to suggest we'll be getting a lot of meditative moments of reproach and repair which is part of the usual DNA of the series anyhow, but maybe not stretched out like this as a type of postscript. The plot of "Home Sweet Home" - which is kind of thin and dredges up an old conflict for another go-round - would definitely have never cut it as a Season 11 premiere. She and Daryl have some heart-to-hearts, but Daryl's a much better listener than he is a compelling conversationalist. Most of this episode involves a pissed-off Maggie getting distracted by a much more pressing and dangerous threat than her Negan outrage. The "All Out War"-arc not only feels far removed from viewers in real-time, but in show years it's even further.

Maggie's story, and where she's been, doesn't feel worth the lengthy absence, plus the anger she feels toward Negan (which on paper is totally understandable) feels so distant from where we are narratively these days. These baddies also wind up being a bit of a "to be continued" situation, though they do provide us with some big action moments to help spice up this somewhat sour midseason opener. Given that we'll be dropping into Negan's backstory over the next few weeks, it appears as though this, along with some upcoming Daryl and Carol drama, will be a running focus for these bridge chapters - because nothing ultimately gets solved here in "Home Sweet Home." We do get some new villains, who sort of arrive out of nowhere and are an integral part of Maggie's saga and where she's been for the past few years. Now Maggie's back and Negan is free, or "status pending," and she's none too pleased about the situation. Back in Season 9, Maggie visited Negan in his prison cell with the intent to kill him but instead offered him mercy.

When we last saw these two together it was right before star Lauren Cohan ditched the show to try her hand at a less dour, more traditional network TV adventure series (the short-lived Whiskey Cavalier on ABC). Speaking of Negan, "Home Sweet Home," the episode that kicks off this "Season 10C," draws us back into the Maggie/Negan drama a bit, without any clear resolution. At the very least, when the dust settles, we'll have gotten some long-awaited Negan flashbacks. That's not to say there won't be some interesting things happening during this mini-run, but all in all, these arcs might just be the things that usually happen off-screen, in the weeks and months we tend to skip over between seasons.
Though there's no more Whisperer War to speak of, these six episodes are meant to act as a creative bridge for our characters as they sort out a bunch of their angry, resentful, complicated emotions before heading into Season 11.
