"The Walking Dead" season 8 does not disappoint so far in delivering a heart-pounding all-out war between the Alexandrians and the Saviors. The two factions, led by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) respectively are working hard to eliminate their enemies. However, wit will be their biggest advantage, and as per the latest rumors for episode 6, it will be Negan's turn to outwit Rick.
According to the latest spoiler for "The Walking Dead" season 8, the upcoming episode for next week titled "The King, the Widow, and Rick" will involve a life-changing decision from the series' main leaders. As the title suggests, the episode will be about the Kingdom's highness, Ezekiel (Khary Payton), Glenn Rhee's widow, Maggie (Lauren Cohan), and of course, Rick. Interestingly, Negan recently mentioned that he want to see these characters alive in front of him. It should be expected that the Savior's leader wants the three of them punished, as they served as the ringleaders in staging a revolt against him.
The official synopsis for "The Walking Dead" season 8 episode 6 is as follows: "With things looking up for Rick and the group, an argument breaks out at the Hilltop; the consequences of the decision are life versus death."
For now, it appears that Rick will face yet another challenge as Negan tries to destroy the alliance he arranged between the Kingdom and the Alexandrians. It is rumored that Rick could end up doing what the Saviors wanted him to do, thus the protagonist would be at the mercy of Negan once again. It is also possible that Maggie and Ezekiel could fall into the villain's hands as well, given that the Saviors are determined more than ever to crush down anyone who stands in their way. It could be the Savior's time to retaliate, especially after their enemies sabotaged their resources, leaving them with limited food, water, and fuel.
Meanwhile, there is growing speculation that one of Rick's group is feeding information to the enemy. To note, there was a failed attempt to destroy the armory of the Saviors back in episode 4, as the Kingdom arrived at the outpost with the weapons already transferred. Fans have a few people in mind, and the first in the list is Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam). He was seen at times working against the Alexandrians, due to Rick's questionable methods for survival, although Father Gabriel has already expressed his willingness to follow orders.
"The Walking Dead" season 8 episode 6 will be out on Nov. 26.
