Sasha has managed to get Maggie to the Hilltop, where she is being treated by Dr. Harlan Carson. Gregory is angry that her group not only failed to kill the Saviors, but potentially made things worse.

That night, the front gate has been opened, fires are blazing, and music blares from a car, attracting Walkers. Maggie and Sasha rally the Hilltop to help put a stop to it. The next day, Simon arrives with the Saviors. He tells the Hilltop people that he arranged the small walker invasion as a lesson-punishment for the group. Simon also lets Gregory know he is now in charge of the sector, having gained the position due to the massacre at the Satellite outpost.

A cowardly Gregory attempts to hand over Maggie and Sasha. He leads the Saviors to a closet where he expects to find the women. Instead, the closet holds nothing but a case of Scotch that he had set aside for himself. Simon sees the Scotch as a gesture of good will, and takes it with him when he leaves. Jesus then explains to Gregory in no uncertain terms that Maggie and Sasha are welcome to stay, whether he likes it or not.

Carl and Enid share their views on the difficult situation at Alexandria. Carl wants vengeance against the Saviors for killing Glenn and Abraham. Enid thinks it isn't a good idea to go after Negan alone. Later, Enid goes to the Hilltop to help Maggie. Carl, meanwhile, follows Jesus on a clandestine trip to the Sanctuary.

"Go Getters" is a poignant and emotional episode that focuses on Maggie and Sasha as they try to find their place in the Hilltop community. The episode is notable for its exploration of grief and loss, as Maggie mourns the death of her husband, Glenn, while also grappling with the challenges of pregnancy. The episode also explores themes of resilience and determination, as Maggie and Sasha refuse to be defined by their losses and instead choose to forge ahead with hope for the future.

One of the most memorable scenes in the episode is when Maggie stands up to Gregory, the leader of the Hilltop, and asserts her authority and strength. This moment is a turning point for Maggie, as she begins to embrace her role as a leader and a survivor. The episode also explores the growing bond between Maggie and Sasha, as they support each other through their grief and find solace in their shared experiences.

The episode is also notable for its exploration of the Hilltop community and its internal politics, particularly the tensions between Gregory and Jesus as they vie for control. Gregory's cowardice and self-preservation instincts are contrasted with Jesus' altruism and desire to do what is best for the community, highlighting the complexities of leadership in this new world.
