The next episode of "The Walking Dead" season 6 will put Rick and the group further into the crosshairs of Negan's killer bloc. The episode is titled "The Same Boat," which hints that the opposing parties will attempt to find middle ground.
The promo for the installment shows that Maggie and Carol are still in the hands of the Saviors and the rest of the survivors find a way to get them back. The two are shown at gunpoint by two other ladies working for Negan.
The next scene in "The Walking Dead" season 6 trailer shows Rick and the others holding one of the Saviors as leverage against Maggie and Carol's captors. Rick then reminds the baddies about their "deal."
The captors then take Maggie and Carol away, warning their victims that there's no way out of their predicament, and that their fate is now up to them. Of course, the survivors will stop at nothing to put Maggie and Carol to safety.
[Spoiler Alert!] In their pursuit, it looks like Rick will eventually kill another member of the Saviors. The clincher is that this individual claims that he is Negan when asked by Rick if the ruthless leader of the ironically named group was at the base during their ambush.
Of course, this is only a big fat ruse seeing that the Saviors are basically programmed to take the fall for their leader whenever they are cornered by an enemy. There's also the fact that Negan is not that easy to take down – something "The Walking Dead" fans know very well.
Needless to say, this "Negan" was shot in the head by Rick. It is unclear whether or not the leader of the survivors knows that the person he just slayed is not the notorious murderer but only one of his minions.
"The Walking Dead" season 6, episode 13, "The Same Boat" airs March 13, at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.
