Ten things to look for in the second half of The Walking Dead season 9

4. What went down to divide the survivors?
Remember when the communities banded together to fight against Negan and The Saviors and Michonne was working on a set of rules for all the communities to follow in order for them to work together in the future?
Apparently that all fell apart. At this time, it’s hard to know what happened between the groups that caused this gap and an “every community for itself” approach to living, but that seems to be where everyone is at this point, especially with secrets behind held from the different groups.
It might be related to the “X” scars on their backs, the fallout from a failure to have a fair-trade system between the communities, losing the uniting figure of “The Great” Rick Grimes, or something else entirely…but it had to be pretty massive.
Fans have to be hoping to see unity once again, but it is hard to know what that will take until what happened to cause it is revealed.
