‘Walking Dead': Negan Takes Alexandria For Everything It Has

Jeffrey Dean Morgan continues to play the villain we love to hate to perfection

After a stressful presidential election, what better way to lift your spirits than “The Walking Dead,” right?

Negan says that despite the fact he killed her husband, she would still be susceptible to his charms.

Before Rick can answer Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) appears and lies to Negan, saying that Maggie died from her illness.

The incident leads Negan to a damaging realization:

[...] things again get deadly tense when they find two pistols are unaccounted for.

Rick then sees Michonne (Danai Gurira) returning from target practice in the woods and convinces her to hand over the rifle she was using, even though there was no record of it in Alexandria’s arsenal.

Back at home, Michonne walks in on Rick laying out some sheets and pillows on the floor, as The Saviors took most of the mattresses in Alexandria.

Rick then launches into a haunting monologue in which he tells Michonne about Shane, his former best friend and partner whom he killed.

Later, Michonne goes out into the woods once more, only to find that The Saviors piled all of the mattresses on the side of the road and lit them on fire.
