#2. A favor for Maggie
Antoinette Hine on Facebook asks: “My question is will Negan kill Dante and take even more from Maggie or will he just fade away quietly”
If you have read the July 2017 issue of The Walking Dead, you know that Maggie has absolutely ZERO trust when it comes to letting Negan out of the cell and back in the world surrounding The Hilltop and Alexandria.
Now that Negan is allowed to have his own place, Maggie wants to know exactly where that is and keep an eye on him. For that, she enlisted Dante. Dante has already made a move on Maggie in hopes of a relationship, but she turned him down.
Dante will definitely do this task for her, but it’s very dangerous. If Negan discovers that he’s being followed, he could very well kill Dante and take away another person she cares about, even if she doesn’t want a relationship.
I do think this will be the route that is taken in the comics. Dante would be a sacrificial lamb for the story arc of making Maggie absolutely livid and make killing Negan a priority. It could also help to sway the balance of power in the communities, as several people are already questioning Rick’s leadership in letting him go.
