I was thinking the same thing. Though it isn't impossible to have Mick pick a fight and Morgan just reacts to it. But I like the idea of him saving him, cause then Mick'll feel all grumpy cause now he owes the guy. That's his moral code.
Yes! Carl needs more interaction. He's all kinds of angst right now. It's still early enough in the season that the lose of his eye affects him. Not to mention he's pissed at almost everything right now. Negan, his Dad, ect. He could probably use so guidance that isn't coming from his father right about now.
