The road to all out war between The Saviors and the Survivors on The Walking Dead
By Sonya Iryna
“East”
In the 15th episode of Season 6 titled “East”, Daryl is on the hunt for Dwight. He’s determined to find Dwight and kill him to avenge Denise. Rosita, Glenn and Michonne go with him to keep him from getting into trouble. But they all end up in trouble. Dwight and the Saviors ambush them. Dwight shoots Daryl, wounding him. Michonne, Glenn and Rosita are taken prisoner along with a wounded Daryl.
Meanwhile Carol tried to play innocent to sneak past the Saviors. That didn’t work. She ended up killing all but one of them. That one, who was wounded, followed her as she tried to go off on her own.
At this point the Saviors have become a pretty significant threat, but Rick and the group still have no idea who Negan actually is. But the group killed a lot of the Saviors at the outpost and it hasn’t seemed to even make a dent in their forces. That should have been a signal to Rick that the Survivors were in trouble. It’s clear at this point that Negan has a lot more Saviors than Rick thought.
It’s also clear that Negan’s forces are circling the location of Alexandria and will find the community shortly. Maggie is taken ill and needs to get to Dr. Carson at Hilltop because Denise is dead. So not even knowing that Daryl, Michonne, Glenn and Rosita have been taken Rick and the others set out to get Maggie to Hilltop.
