As I predicted Simon is dead and Dwight might as well be. What "special" something Negan has planned is probably being eaten alive by walkers.

A good ep over all. Eugene got to show some grit which is highly unusual but definitely about time. Clearly emboldened by his capture, treatment by Daryl, and his escape, he is somewhat a new man. Determined more than simply surviving.

The finale?? The only way I see tings working out for Rick and Co is if the ladies from Oceanside ride in like the cavalry, ala how the Kingdom did last season, and save the day. Maybe not exactly in the same manner... maybe they'll do a time twist and have them meet with Rick with Rick anticipating the set up could be a trap, so they are in place long before the ambush, but indeed it will be Oceanside that makes the difference.

Another option is Jadis and the helicopter people swoop in and do whatever.

I would love to see Jadis and the helicopter! That would be epic.
