"Knots Untie" is the eleventh episode of the sixth season and the 78th episode overall of the post-apocalyptic horror television series The Walking Dead, which aired on AMC on February 28, 2016. The episode was written by Matthew Negrete and Channing Powell, and directed by Michael E. Satrazemis.
The Hilltop Colony is introduced in this episode, as well as many characters from the comic books, most notably Gregory, who is played by Xander Berkeley.
Abraham is seen chatting amiably with Sasha as they return from a foot patrol, but is disappointed to learn that Sasha has been reassigned and they awkwardly part ways. This scene is revealed to be a flashback Abraham has after having sex with Rosita, who gives him a medallion she made from the fuel truck's cracked taillight. Abraham says Rosita is "damned near perfection."
Maggie is working in the dark, building trellises for a vegetable garden she hopes will supplement their depleted rations. She still hasn't seen a single bud, but Glenn assures her they'll be okay. They notice Denise and Abraham acting anxious about something and run to investigate.
In Rick's home, Jesus finds himself facing the gun-barrels of Carl, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie and Abraham, who all get their first look at Rick and Michonne as a couple. Jesus calmly explains that "knots untie, locks get picked, entropy comes from order," suggestive of a philosophy that seeks harmony over control. Jesus reveals that while he was loose, he took account of the Alexandrians' armory and provisions, assessing their food supplies to be very low for his estimate of their population. Jesus apologizes for getting off to a bad start but says they're on the same side, "the living side," and reveals he's from a community much like theirs, where part of his job is to search for other settlements with which to trade. He invites Rick and others to visit and see for themselves.
As Rick's group prep the RV for the trip, Denise gives Daryl some oat-cakes as thanks for his previous efforts. Carl tells Rick that he accepts Rick and Michonne's relationship, and turns down an invitation to go with them, joking that he wouldn't make a good impression with his messed-up face. After heading out, Abraham quietly asks Glenn, "While you were pouring the Bisquick, were you trying to make pancakes?" Glenn explains that he and Maggie are trying to build something, that they all are. On the way, they see a vehicle smoking as a result of a wreck. Jesus says it's his people, and Rick's group tracks them to a nearby building and rescues them from walkers.
