Season 8 of the "The Walking Dead" is proving to be filled with action. The trailer for next week's episode has been dropped and it teases aftermath of the reappearance of Morales (Juan Gabriel Pareja).

"Monsters," the third episode of the season, will once again be action-filled, similar to the past two episodes of season 8, which has given the audience more action than the past seasons combined.

The trailer for the upcoming episode focuses on Morgan (Lennie James), Tara (Alana Masterson) and Jesus (Tom Payne) with their prisoners from Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) group while the conflict between Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Morales intensifies.

Morales tells Rick, "My people, they're coming – and we'll get you to Negan."

Meanwhile, Aaron (Ross Marquand) can be seen helping his partner Eric (Jordan Woods-Robinson), who has been wounded, get to safety while Enid (Katelyn Nacon) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) return to the Hilltop.

The trailer ends with what seems to be a deadly fight between the Kingdom, led by King Ezekiel (Khary Payton), and the Saviors as Ezekiel says they will not lose anyone from their ranks.

To recall, the second episode continued to focus on the assault of the combined forces of Rick's, Maggie's and Ezekiel's communities on the Saviors as they try to dismantle the threat of Negan's group. Each faction took certain parts of the area to cordon off the enemy.

Morgan along with Tara and Jesus met several Saviors. Both Tara and Morgan dispatched the enemies in a deadly fashion while Jesus was taken aback by his morality.

Rick got an unwelcomed surprise upon seeing the still alive Morales, who has joined the Saviors. Rick and his group had not seen Morales since parting ways at the CDC back in season 1 and they thought that his group did not survive.

The episode also heavily followed how Morgan has evolved from his Zen mindset to becoming a killing machine. Even with the threat of death looming their way, the three groups continued to make sure that Negan's group would not pose a threat.

The eighth season of "The Walking Dead" airs every Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT on AMC.
