Warning : spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead : The Ones Who Live instalment 2 .
Summary
The Walking Dead : The single Who Livekeeps its timeline somewhat vague , but does cater some indication of how long Michonne pass recovering from her CRM - visit harm . Thanks to a string of equivocally - sized time skips and Carl Grimes ' suspicious aging , The Walking Dead ’s timelinebecame increasingly unsure as the show progressed , and AMC ’s influx of spinoffs has only complicated matters . The canonical mental confusion continues intoThe walk drained : The Ones Who Live , especially when Michonne and Nat are squeeze into a flow of long - term convalescence adopt a CRM natural gas attack .
The Walking Deadpreviously confirmed that a six - year clock time omission pass off betweenAndrew Lincoln ’s Rick Grimes leavingthe show and Danai Gurira ’s own leave . The Ones Who Liveepisode 2 takes place almost forthwith after Michonne’sThe Walking Deadexit , imply the six - year difference remains .

Alas , The Ones Who Liveepisode 2 bring a new time omission toThe walk Dead ’s population , but does not explicitly support how long it lasts .
The Walking Dead ’s friend returned in The Ones Who Live and the very first episode featured a huge , life - specify moment for Rick Grimes .
Michonne Spends At Least 1 Year Recovering From The CRM’s Gas Attack
While a specific clock time frame is not turn over , The Walking Dead : The 1 Who Livestrongly points toward Michonne spend one class recoveringin episode 2 . The CRM ’s chlorine gasolene onslaught wipes out most of the station waggon community ’s splinter group , with only Michonne and Nat surviving long enough to pick up vital oxygen handling . Danai Gurira ’s voiceover confirms the damage is so across-the-board that recovering will not be fast , but the substantial denotation of prison term passing amount from the skylight windowpane of the department store Michonne and Nat hide in .
When Michonne ’s recovery begins , the skylight is covered in leave , which represent the time of year of autumn in the parlance of story symbolism . The view then change from leaves to frost - indicating a progress from autumn to winter - then to green trees , hinting thatThe Walking Dead : The Ones Who Live ’s timelinehas moved into spring . in conclusion , the skylight once again returns to leaves , tacitly confirming a full yr has passed with Michonne and Nat in recovery .
Michonne Would Have Returned To Judith Sooner If Not For Her Injuries
Michonne ’s recovery inThe Walking Dead : The ace Who Livecorresponds broadly with the effect ofThe Walking Dead ’s terminal two seasons - the conclusion of the Whisperer War and the clash with the Commonwealth . Previously , it seemed strange that Michonne was absent while her kid , Judith and RJ , were subjected to skin - wearing creeps and a coin - flipping megalomaniac ’s stormtrooper army . The motivation of searching for Rick never decently justified Michonne abandoning Judith and RJ to face such danger without a parent , butThe Ones Who Liveepisode 2 resolves that plot hole .
Michonne was waffle about whether to generate home before the CRM ’s vicious Cl gaseous state attack , but then the injury she prolong made traveling impossible for an entire class . Michonne and Nat start out journeying back to Alexandria as shortly as their recovery are utter , so had they not been gassed , there is a impregnable possibility that Michonne would have returned to Judith and RJ in time to protect them from Lance Hornsby ’s grubby hands . What previously look like Michonne choosing to stick around away from her kids , The Walking Dead : The Ones Who Livereveals was actually no choice at all .
