Jesus is glad for the fact everyone is fawning over Maggie too - partially because he likes her and she deserves it, and partially because he knows some of the others might be a little worried by what they may take as Jesus grasping at too much power. They like him more than they like Gregory, but he's the leader and they have to believe he can keep them safe.

Something like that. Jesus doesn't want the power anyway. He's no leader. As far as Daryl's question he just shrugs, smile a little mysterious. "He's going to be fine, but knowing him it's going to be a long and arduous process."

Of course: far be it from Gregory to do an ounce more work than he had to, and his pride had taken a sound beating.
