Is a civil war in the works?
We asked Angela Kang what the *&%# that time-jump ending confrontation is all about.

And it was not the only conflict between the two characters in the episode.
Earlier on, Daryl attempted to negotiate a truce with his former flame Leah and her band of Reapers.

To which Maggie replied, “Yeah, yeah it does.”
SAY WHAT?!?
He asks Gabriel to take his hand and renew his faith, to which Gabriel stabs him.

How is that act going to sit with him moving forward?
So that journey continues, but it might take an unexpected direction.
Does she do this for Elijah or for herself?
And how is that going to sit with her?
But I think she is also doing it for her own people in a lot of ways.
A lot is weighing on her.
The deal makes her nervous.
It does not sit well with her.
And she knows that her people rose up, and got back against him.
And so there is just a lot that is going on in her head.
But also, do we want these people that are highly trained military people to chase us back?
I love the way you guys had that conversation between Negan and Maggie pay dividends now down the road.
So he then takes off.
First off, is he right?
Would she take him out?
And secondly, where is he going?
I don’t know if he’s right.
Maggie is not a team player right now.
That guy is a survivor.
We sort of flipped the scene from the comic where Maggie comes upon Negan.
And he is at the grave where he buried Lucille.
We just thought that that was an interesting situation where he could actually kill her there.
He sort of has the drop on her.
And he’s taking his destiny in his hand beyond that.
And so he is just going and he is going to see where the life takes him.
Maggie goes back to that church where she left Alden.
Does she think there is any chance that dude is actually not dead or a zombie at that point?
Does she kind of know what she is in for after she made that choice to leave him there?
And a lot of that has been beat out of her.
I think she really believes, maybe, maybe, maybe he is a strong guy.
Maybe he has made it.
And then of course, she is just crushed by what she finds.
Jumping over to Daryl, he finds Leah after she runs and he lets her go.
Have we seen the last of her?
I am guessing not.
Just have to watch and see, I cannot say anything more than that.
Let’s jump to the end.
Maggie is saying that it doesn’t have to be that way.
A lot to unpack there.
Let’s start with the armor.
What should we take from seeing Daryl as a Commonwealth solider?
Whereas who knows where everybody else has landed.
So why is Maggie on the other side of that wall?
