They do not show how Negan was holding Lucille when the bullet hit the bat. I think it would either strike him in the face, get knocked out of his hands, or both. mmm ---

The kick hitting the bat is equal to the hit of the kick of the pistol. ---

> [@SykoSkotty](#): > > Loved the episode; thought it was really well done. Huge tension with Spencer & Negan in the street. Loved the homecoming at the Hilltop…and who was that man with the mismatched boots? I think he’s one of the Wolves. I think it’s the Wolves who attacked Hilltop rather than Negan trying to send them a message. ---

The Saviors referenced it when they showed up at Hilltop the next day. Said to Gregory by Simon: “So, last night, that was us working our asses off to provide you an example.” ---
