5 questions remaining after The Walking Dead 715: ‘Something They Need’
By Adam Carlson
#4. What is Gregory’s plan for Maggie?
Gregory had a nice situation going before Maggie arrived on the scene. He had complete control of the community, and even if people didn’t like him, they respected him enough to do his bidding without too many questions.
Now, The Hilltop has a different kind of leader in the community. Maggie has been able to inspire the survivors in ways that Gregory couldn’t, and that has him very concerned for his future as the person in power.
At the end of the episode, Gregory took the piece of paper out of his pocket and has made the decision to cash in on his favor from Simon. But what will he ask of The Saviors and how will they respond to his request?
Maggie doesn’t even appear to want a leadership role in the community, but is the kind of character that others look up to. But how far is Gregory willing to go and what is he willing to risk to eliminate the threat of losing power?
