The Walking Dead season 8 episode 6 preview: Could death follow Rick Grimes decision?

The Walking Dead season 8 episode 6 has one of our favorite titles in a while: “The King, The Widow, and Rick.” We know that this title is going to have something to do with Ezekiel, Maggie and of course Rick, but likely also Negan since he has said through out this season that he wants the three of them brought to him alive. He wants to make some kind of example out of them for rising up against him

This is an installment that will do one of our favorite Walking Dead things — give all of us hope before stripping said hope away from us and then laughing at us while we all wallow in varying degrees of misery. This is just what this show does, and over time it’s proven itself to be rather great at it.

So how is this onset of misery going to come about this time? For more news on that, just be sure to take a look at the attached synopsis that CarterMatt has for you below:

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.

Basically, our interpretation of this is that The Walking Dead season 8 episode 6 is going to feature Rick Grimes, King Ezekiel, and Maggie finding themselves in a position where they have the fates of the three different groups all in their hands. You would hope that they would be able to come together, but as a result of that they could be putting all of them at even greater risk. The Saviors have certainly gone through plenty of problems over the years but they are still the Saviors. They’ve got more power and resources than anyone and that’s going to manifest itself in a rather big way still. We’re not even at the halfway point of the season yet.

As for who we’re the most worried about going into this episode, we’re probably all about the Carl conspiracy theories at the moment given that there are so many of them floating around online. Plus, tormenting Rick Grimes is one of the writers’ favorite things to do.
