Warning: The following contains spoilers for AMC's "The Walking Dead."
How are we all enjoying the second half of "The Walking Dead's" sixth season so far? That midseason premiere was action-packed and badass. Conversely, the follow-up episode was painfully slow, but the introduction of comic book fan-favorite character Jesus and the Rick-Michonne hookup made it totally worth it. So what can we expect heading into this weekend's episode? Apparently, a lot.
The Spoiling Dead Fans have the inside scoop on all the juicy spoilers for the upcoming episode. Remember, these are just unconfirmed reports at this time, but TSDF have built up a solid track record of accuracy over the years.

To recap the most important tidbits:
-Jesus, after interrupting Rick and Michonne's post-coital sleeping bliss, tells our heroes about the Hilltop Colony in an attempt to open up trade relations between the two. Rick, Michonne, Glenn, Maggie (you're pregnant, stop going on missions!), Daryl and Abraham go with Jesus to check it out. They stumble across some survivors on their way.
-The Hilltop Colony is low on weapons; the guards are only armed with spears. What's worse is that their leader Gregory is an incompetent fool who's high opinion of himself gets in the way of any diplomatic progress. Both Rick and Maggie fail to get through to him.
-Another Hilltop group arrives. They've been ambushed by Negan and The Saviors and sent back with a message. The message is crystal clear: Ethan, a Hilltop guy, stabs Gregory in order to save his captured brother. Rick then kills him as all hell breaks loose (who didn't see that coming?). Gregory survives (unfortunately) and Jesus explains that the Saviors are a bunch of psychopathic thugs. Maggie uses this to her advantage, offering protection in exchange for resources. Gregory concedes.
-Some stuff happens with Abraham that really isn't that important. I'm fully behind him replacing Tyrese in A-squad, but I don't need to see his struggles with life in the new world and his romantic decision making.
-Carol, Morgan, Tara, Eugene, Father Gabriel and the Alexandrians are not present in this episode. I have no idea why "The Walking Dead" continues to sideline Carol, one of the most interesting characters on the show. Here's to hoping she gets more screen time after this episode.
"The Walking Dead" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.
