Even though arguably one of the most gruesome deaths in show history took place on last Sunday's "The Walking Dead," things may just be getting started.
The group is now without Noah. Glenn had to watch him die a horrific death after Nicholas showed his true colors and messed up a seemingly good plan to save all there of them from getting eaten alive while stuck in a revolving door. Prior to that, Nicholas hinted at his cowardice when he told them to abandon a seriously wounded but alive Aidan.
People are going to pay for the avoidable death of Noah, and Glenn will most likely be the enforcer. He made sure to chase down Nicholas and knock him out before heading back to the "safe-zone," which is a term that is slowly losing its true meaning. As Glenn, Eugene, a knocked out Nicholas and seriously injured Tara arrive back, you can hear him yelling for Maggie.
It was perfect timing, as she had just finished eavesdropping on Father Gabriel telling Deana some incriminating information. Selfishly, the priest told her that the group of survivors have done terrible things and aren't to be trusted. For what it's worth, the priest was covering himself, as the survivors know he has some skeletons in his closet as well.
In the trailer for the next episode, it looks like the killing will not stop. The preview opens with Rick and Deana standing over four graves. So far only Noah and Nicholas have died, and there is no evidence to show that anybody returned to get their dead bodies. Of course, the members of the safe-zone could have made the graves in their rememberance, but that still leaves two open ones.
Odds are, one will belong to Pete. Carol pleaded with Rick to... intervene in the domestic violence issues going on between the seemingly-alcohol husband and his wife Jessie, who Rick has taken a serious liking to.
Sasha will be returning soon, and in a big way. In the preview, she is protecting the group with her eye though the scope of a sniper rifle as Glenn and Nicholas are sprinting towards a conflict.
This all is leading to an all-out war between the groups, with Rick adding the following, very telling commentary:
"They don't know what they're doing. Their rules? We don't answer to them."
