![]() There’s also the matter of the list of names that ended up in Connie’s hands. What’s more intriguing than Zeke’s side hustle are his words to Carol: While you’d think life at the Commonwealth would be easier, there’s really just more shades of gray (true), and also, she’s stuck with him for the long haul (meaning one of them, likely Zeke, is a goner). After a few tense moments, a very sweaty Tomichi completes a rogue appendectomy. It turns out he’s set up a secret triage space hidden inside his “veterinary treatment area” where they can care for folks who aren’t so lucky to qualify for aid under Miltoncare. He recruits Tomichi, Miko’s low-key-boozehound bro, to help him smuggle medical supplies, then gets rescued once again by Carol when they’re caught red-handed. ![]() While it’s great to see the former king recovering nicely from surgery, the details of his underground entrepreneurial venture aren’t very compelling. The least consequential story belongs to Zeke. And then there’s Lance Hornsby, who doesn’t seem to care that he’s alienated Daryl, Maggie, and all of Hilltop, especially now that he may have a new, powerful, and very pissed-off ally. Eugene needs Max and Mercer to risk their lives in order to figure out the connection between Sebastian and that list of names. Plus, Eugene is hilarious, and The Walking Dead can always use a little comedic relief.This episode’s title is rather on-the-nose regarding the theme that ties its multiple storylines together - in the midst of all the corruption and shady business within the Commonwealth, who can be trusted? Zeke has a mysterious side hustle that requires help from Miko’s brother and Carol. From a mulleted coward hiding behind his intelligence so that others protect him to the Alexandrian leading his people to the Commonwealth, Eugene is central to the plot of the final season, and I think that means he’s safe. Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt)Įugene has become an unlikely protagonist going into season 11. It’s difficult to predict where her story goes at this point, but since she survived her comic book death, I assume the show’s writers have something in mind for her in season 11. In the comics, Rosita’s head ended up on a pike during the Whisperer war, but her TV counterpart has persevered. He’s lost the man he loves, his arm, and many friends - and it’s all hardened him into a war machine. But here he is, still fighting and surviving. She could be headed toward tragedy.Īaron seemed destined to die seasons ago, too kind and trusting to survive this long. While a reunion with Yumiko seems like the logical direction for her story, The Walking Dead universe is a cruel one. Magna was sidelined pretty quickly after her introduction. I think Lydia is in it for the long haul. That said, the writers have continued to find interesting ways to explore this character, and someone has to live on to lead the next generation of Alexandrians and Hilltoppers. With Alpha and Beta defeated, and their faction all but obliterated, I have to wonder what Lydia has left to do on the show. Lydia was at the center of Alexandria’s conflict with the Whisperers for a season and a half. While this likely will put her life in danger, she’s already escaped death once, so we’re not betting against her. Now she’s a journalist at the Commonwealth, working to uncover the deep corruption at the very center of Pamela Milton’s government. Although he’s disappeared, it’s possible we’ll see him again, possibly for one last sacrifice.Ĭonnie has a new lease on life after surviving the events of season 10. He soon went on a journey to atone for his sins, helping a disoriented Connie make it back home. You don’t just introduce a blade expert in a steel mask for no reason! Virgil (Kevin Carroll)Īfter debuting as somewhat of a villain, Virgil was spared by Michonne. When he returned in the final six episodes of season 10, the show just kind of moved on without fleshing him out, which is unfortunate since he looks so cool! I’m going to assume that the series is saving a big Elijah-focused episode for later in the season and that he’s too awesome to kill off. For weeks after his reveal, people wondered who the man in the steal mask could be. Elijah (Okea Eme-Akwari)Įlijah made his debut in one of the most WTF moments of season 10 when he rescued Aaron and Alden from the Whisperers. Since she’s only just arrived and has a big part to play in the Commonwealth arc, we’d like her to survive until the end. One big twist later, we’ve finally met the actual Stephanie.
