Angela Kang usually spoils us with her episode 15’s and I do not expect this one to be any different. Episode 15 looks better than any other episode in season 11 and I have high expectations for this one. We are finally going to get that altercation between Daryl and Maggie, that was the final scene in episode 9. This is going to set up many angles and possibilities for this episode. I expect Daryl to ultimately side with Maggie but it is going to be tricky, since he is with Lance and the rest of the Commonwealth soldiers. Episode 15’s title is called “Faith”. Originally, I thought that this would be connected with Gabriel’s faith with God but now I think it is called this for Maggie to have faith in Daryl to know what he is doing and will ultimately be okay for the group.
Maggie vs. The Commonwealth
Maggie is going to be prime suspect for the Commonwealth to go forward, after the failed attack from them, trying to get their guns back. We do know from episode 14, that the person that stole the Commonwealth guns was Leah. I do not think we are going to get Leah in this episode, unless it is saved for the end, but I think we will get this Leah vs. Daryl reunion in episode 16. Maggie and Daryl will have that scene that we got introduced at the end of episode 9. This episode doesn’t seem like it will end on a positive note for the group because of the implications from all sides. I ultimately think that Hilltop is going to fall to the Commonwealth in episode 15 and Lance will take it over. Daryl will turn on them to help Maggie but I don’t see that happening in episode 15, since all of the soldiers around him and Lance watching Daryl. Daryl is going to make Maggie trust and have faith in him that he knows what he is doing and once again will save the day by turning on them, like he did many times before with the Saviors and the Reapers.
Aaron and Gabriel vs. The Commonwealth
If I had to pick a death for this episode, and I believe that we will get a major one either in this episode or the season 11 B finale, it would either be Gabriel or Aaron. I personally think that we are going to get Dwight’s death from the comic book, into either Gabriel or Aaron. I think that Aaron or Gabriel will be killed by Lance or even Maggie. Lance figured out Maggie was the reason why Aaron and Gabriel stayed alive after episode 14 because they were the only two left alive from the mission. I think that Aaron and Gabriel will tell Daryl what happened and Daryl will have to go to Hilltop with Lance to find where the guns went. Like I said above, I do not see Daryl turning on Lance and the rest of the Commonwealth yet, unless one thing happens. If Lance instructs Daryl and the rest of the soldiers to either kill Aaron and/or Gabriel, Daryl will refuse and turning on the community. A dark horse person to kill them is Maggie, by Lance giving her a deal to leave one of them alive, while killing the other one. However, I also do not see this as a possibility because Daryl won’t stand back and watch one of his family getting killed. I do personally believe that either Aaron or Gabriel will die in this episode or episode 16 but I can’t pinpoint how it is going to happen. Aaron and Gabriel are going to be in the line of fire throughout this episode and I don’t see how they are both going to make it out alive…
The Truth About The Commonwealth
Like we have a callback from episode 9, episode 15 is also going to tie up loose ends with episode 10. Kelly and Connie is going to expose the truth about the Commonwealth rebellion and their list that they got at the end of episode 10 will end up helping them. We see in the trailer that Rosita is talking with them and I think she is going to tell them what happened with Sebastian and the girl in the house. The girl’s name was April and she was on that list with Tyler Davis. I think that list is all of the people that tried to rebel against the community and escaped. Mercer is the most important character to monitor throughout this storyline. Throughout season 11 B he has more and more distant with the community and how they run things. I think he is tired of how Lance and Pamela run things and will be a major reason why this rebellion will happen in the first place. I think Max (Mercer’s sister) is going to tell Mercer to help Kelly and Connie break this story and you see him in their apartment hallway. I think Rosita is going to ask Mercer to also tell his side of the story about what happened and what has been happening throughout Commonwealth’s time. Mercer will be a major character in exposing the truth about the community and I think by the end of the episode, the story will be published in their newspaper. This will set up a Lance vs. Mercer battle in season 11 C and I think Daryl and Rosita will be an important piece for this, since Mercer will have to get some soldiers to side with him, to overthrow the current government.
