Only four more episodes left in the series and only five more weeks of main show Walking Dead content for me. “Outpost 22” should be one the best in the season because of the promo trailer alone. I am really excited for this episode and should be a heavy Maggie and Negan episode. I think we are going to get our first glipse at the CRM connecting to the main show from either the outpost that the group is going to or the train car that Daryl and Carol have to go on to save their friends. The whole group is in trouble inside the outpost and they will have to do everything they can to survive. I think that this episode will highlight a major death in the series. Maybe its the final three episodes for the Commonwealth storyline, since this one will be highlighted with the outpost, next one will be Eugene’s trial, and episode 23 will be Pamela’s death and a ton of loose ends of the Commonwealth being tied up. The synopsis for episode 21 is “the survivors track a convoy to a mysterious destination”. We will definitely get another montage narrated by Judith for the opening scene. It will probably be about Negan’s rein as Saviors leader to Ezekiel and Maggie and the horrible things he has done to them, with the end being how he changed to this point because this is what the whole episode is going to be about this week.
Negan, Maggie, Ezekiel, and company are going to have to work together in order to all make it out the Commonwealth outpost alive. We all know that everyone got captured, including the kids, but we got confirmation on Hershel getting captured too. He hasn’t been around much in season 11 C, but this might be the reason why Maggie ultimately leaves the show, to find where the Commonwealth kidnapped Hershel. Ezekiel is going to have to put his feelings aside with Negan from his days with the Kingdom and the Saviors and work together to get out of the situation alive. Daryl and Carol are also going to have to catch the train in time to save their friends. I think this is how Daryl gets to Europe or how Maggie and Negan gets to New York for their spinoff shows in the future. The train car is going to be important for the future of The Walking Dead universe. I think the train car is going to be connected to the CRM and be one of the reasons why Daryl goes to Europe to find where Rick ended up. Unless Daryl gets captured in episode 24 by the CRM and is sent to Europe, then Maggie and Negan will use the train to New York. However, I don’t feel like everyone at Outpost 22 will make it out alive. It seems too unlikely that everyone in the group will make it out. If I had to guess, my pick right now would either be Connie or Rosita. Connie is directly related to the Yumiko vs. Pamela situation and Pamela even brought her up last episode. Her death could spark Yumiko to fully revolt against the Commonwealth and lead Eugene to victory. It could also spark Daryl to also go full revolt and kill everyone in his path when he gets to the outpost because of his connection with Connie ever since she arrived on the show. Rosita is also on the table because she was well respected inside the community through her work as a Commonwealth soldier and she already had her emotional goodbye with Eugene. I don’t see both of them dying in episode 21 but someone will definitely die in the group, I guarantee it.
