Only two more episodes in this series and it is officially over! Episode 23 looks like the beginning of the end of Pamela Milton and the current Commonwealth regime. The group is finally going to track down Pamela and kill her once and for all. Will it be in this episode? Eugene is also back on the run in this episode. A lot of stuff should go down in this episode, setting up the series finale on November 20th, and possibly the future of The Walking Dead universe. I am not saying a lot of people will die in episode 23 but at least one important character is on the table. I am toying with what the opening montage scene will be in this episode because it has me completely stumped. The only thing I can think of is a montage of the group’s journey to the Commonwealth, but I feel like it is too recent to do this. Almost everything happened in either season 10 or 11. If I had to guess, it might be that, but who knows. To be honest, this whole episode can go in a number of different ways…
The End of Pamela Milton?
Will this be the last episode that we see Pamela Milton alive? It appears so based on the promo trailer, but I feel like AMC will save her death for the series finale. If anyone is to kill Pamela, all signs point for Max, Mercer, or Daryl to do it, but again, I feel like that is too easy. A huge dark horse answer would either be Rosita or Negan, but I don’t see that either. Rosita might be the one to die in episode 23. I will probably be wrong, but I will predict that Maggie will be the one who kills Pamela. After she dies, there will be a huge uprising from the people that still believed in her and this will cause a member in our group to die.
However, if Pamela dies in this episode, episode 24 will solely be about rebuilding the Commonwealth through Eugene, Max, Yumiko, and Mercer. It will also lead into why Daryl, Maggie, and Negan will leave for their various spinoff shows, and if any other characters will have the possibility to join them. But don’t you worry, I will have my predictions for who will join Maggie and Negan and why they are going to New York in the first place in TWD: Dead City very soon since it is slated to release in April 2023.
Eugene is Back on the Run
Eugene is again hunted by Pamela Milton and the rest of the Commonwealth. Mercer and other Commonwealth soldiers let Eugene out but I have no idea where he is going to go. I assume he will be by the side of Mercer the whole time and meet up with Daryl and the rest of the group. Pamela will not find Eugene and be left without a martyr for the death of her son. This isn’t going to be a big plot point since the whole group is already fighting against the Commonwealth and Pamela anyways. Like I said above, this episode can go a number of ways and I am really not sure how AMC is going to end episode 23. It could be with a big death of one of our characters, Pamela’s death, both of them, or none of the above. We still have to find where the rest of the kids are, so that will probably be what the group is going to do in episode 24. I am saying this now and I will say it for the last three weeks that this show is on the air; Rick Grimes and Michonne better be in the series finale either in the last scene or an end credit scene. If they don’t show up I will be severely disappointed. And one last point that I will definitely put in the final prediction article next week: PLEASE, DO NOT LET THIS SHOW END ON A SOUR NOTE AND BE ANOTHER GAME OF THRONES SITUATION, AND HAVE MY 12+ YEARS OF WATCHING THIS SHOW NOT PAY OFF… but… I will watch the other two spinoff shows no matter what, whenever the final season of Fear The Walking Dead will be, and whatever other spinoff show AMC has up their sleeve.
