Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and the group must improve their trading skills in the next episode of "The Walking Dead" season 6.
Based on the spoilers posted by The Spoiling Dead Fans for the episode titled "Knots Untie," several members of the group will go with their new prisoner Jesus (Tom Payne) to the Hilltop Colony to attempt forging a diplomatic bond between them and the group led by Gregory (Xander Berkeley) for trading.
The group that comes to check out the Hilltop Colony will be composed of Rick, Michonne (Danai Gurira), Glenn (Steven Yeun) and his pregnant wife Maggie (Lauran Cohan), Daryl (Norman Reedus), and Abraham (Michael Cudlitz).
But before reaching the community, the group will discover a beat-up car along the road. Jesus will tell them that the car used to belong to his community and he wants to check if there are still survivors inside. Though the group will initially think that Jesus's request could be a trap, they will all check it out and discover that there are four people inside. One of the rescued survivors will reveal that he is a gynecologist, and he is willing to see Maggie's pregnancy.
When they reach the Hilltop, the rescued people will help them gain the trust of the guards of the colony. They will immediately be escorted to meet Gregory. But the arrogant leader will ask the group to clean themselves first before they can talk to him. This annoys Rick, that is why he will assign Maggie to be in charge of the diplomacy.
At first, Maggie fails to make Gregory agree to their offer of trading food for medicine and armory. Then one of the community members named Ethan will tell the Hilltop leader that Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) killed most of their people and is keeping his brother Craig hostage until he passes on a message to Gregory.
Ethan will then stab Gregory as part of Negan's message. This will cause a big fight to erupt, and Rick will end up killing Ethan. Because of the turn of events, Gregory will have no other choice but to agree with the trade deal between their communities.
But can the deal between the two communities last peacefully without any interference from Negan?
"The Walking Dead" season 6 episode 11 airs on Sunday, Feb. 28, on AMC.
