I'm glad they're getting weapons, and closer to overthrowing Negan's group. Rosita and Sasha's "solo" plan may interfere with Rick's plans, according to some sources.
I sense "something" bad gonna happen, judging by the last scene with Michonne and Rick talking about losing people in the battle with Negan.
Michonne was not comfortable(obviously) with the thought that she might lose Rick. Rick was oddly untroubled about the matter...not sure where that may lead to.
What I took away from it is that, he has come to a place where he realizes, lose in this apocalypses almost inevitable, it is time to not let oneself become undone by it and to realize now it is no longer about you and your emotions but about the future of fighting on and hoping to make a better place for those who will proceed you whomever is left. He wanted her to not become consumed by lose, but to focus on the greater good.
They have all lose great loves and they've managed to survive, so, yes, he was saying be strong Michonne, you, must not lose yourself in the lose, he isn't saying his love is any less than hers nor will he feel less of a lose, just that he knows the lose is possible and they shouldn't delude themselves that there's a happy ever after to come at the end of the battle, one of them or both of them may not survive and they have to decide now to be ok with that or their weakness may cause harm when and where it shouldn't. It's not I love you so much, I can't go on without you, but one must look for the purpose, that being care for those who are still alive for as long as one can.
However, it's easier said than done for many, but, I think Michonne, can get on board. For once, I'm really proud of Rick. No more moping around and seeing ghost like after the lose of Laurie. I actually kind of know where he's coming from, I once kinda of started living by that motto after so much loss, toughen up to the loses, not let it tear at ya so hard, only later in life, sigh, it no longer works when you're about the only one left.
Actually, I think the writers were also preparing us for the possibilities as well after that last fiasco, they probably don't want to get anymore hate mail.
