The Walking Dead season 11: Part 2 is returning on AMC + on February 13th or on AMC on February 20th. It can’t come fast enough. As always with The Walking Dead, no character is safe (unless you are Daryl or Carol these days). Any given moment, a character could die. I expect a pretty safe block of episodes, like we got with the first eight episodes. The only shocking deaths we got from the first eight episodes was a lot of Maggie’s group by The Reapers. We did get Gage and Pope, but that’s about it. Now to think about it, we have only got main villain deaths recently with Alpha and Beta in season 10 too. I think we are going to get a pretty safe kills this eight episodes, before the final eight and the end of the series. That is when I think AMC is going to kill off a bunch of people, since it is the final season and the only reason to keep them around is either spinoff shows, being in Tales of The Walking Dead, or appearing in Rick Grimes’ movie. It is hard to kill off a lot of “main” characters, since you need them to carry the show because Rick or Michonne isn’t going to walk through that door in the next eight episodes. With all that being said, here are my death predictions for The Walking Dead season 11: Part 2…
Carver
This is a guaranteed one and I will bet anything on it. The Reapers main storyline should be over by episode 9, unless it trickles into some of episode 10. The only Reaper that is going to make it is Leah. Yeah I know I was calling for her death in all of part 1 but I really think they are going to keep her around to toy with Daryl, causing a wrench in the Daryl/Carol and Daryl/Connie relationship, her relationship with Dog, and her importance for the Daryl and Carol spinoff show, if they choose to keep her for that too. However, I think Carver is going to die 100% because he is shown in a fight scene with Negan in a hallway, getting roughed up pretty bad. You also hear Maggie shoot someone and Daryl yell out “No!” I think this wants us to think it is Leah but I think Maggie is going to shoot Carver when Daryl is trying to negotiate with Leah. I am going to know I am right by the end of episode 9/10 so we’ll know early on who Carver gets killed by. If I had to guess, it will be by Maggie.
Gracie
This is a one that I am not that confident in, but I am still going to call it anyways. Like with Carver, I will know if I am right with Gracie by the end of episode 9. At the end of episode 8, Gracie and Judith is stuck in a basement that is infested with walkers that is also being flooded because of the storm. In the trailer, you see Aaron (Gracie’s adopted father), break a window and save the day. You see Judith throughout the trailer, but do not see Gracie after this. I am starting to think that Aaron is going to be too late and not be able to save Gracie. This will propel Aaron’s character even more in season 11 and make him experience loss, like he did with Eric in season 8. However, the only thing that is making me hesitate this pick is that she is so important for the future of The Walking Dead. If you want a next generation series, Gracie is an important part of that. Like I said, I’ll see if I am right by the end of episode 9…
Fake “Stephanie”
I should have picked up on Stephanie being a fake before I actually did. The writing was on the wall from the beginning, not eating ice cream with Eugene like she said she was going to on the radio. Stephanie has gotten the group in trouble a lot, most recently in the train station. In the trailer, Eugene is starting to figure out that the Stephanie that he knows is not the real one. He even made a missing persons board for the real Stephanie. I also think that the part where Eugene is waiting for someone with two ice cream cones is a trap to expose the fake Stephanie for who she really is. I either think that Eugene is going to kill the fake Stephanie, The Commonwealth is going to kill her, or she is just going to written out by The Commonwealth. I am curious what the fake Stephanie really does and what her end game is. We all know that the real Stephanie works inside of The Commonwealth’s government. Maybe Yumiko’s new position inside the government will be the key for Eugene to find the real Stephanie.
Alden
This is the toughest character to gauge this part of season 11. Last time we saw Alden was in episode 3 where Maggie and company left him behind inside the church. He was visibly hurt because of The Reapers stabbing and has been missing for five episodes. I do think they are going to go back to the Church in episode 10 or 11 and either see him as a walker or missing. Alden has grown on me as a character and it is going to be sad seeing him go but I can’t see him surviving all that time by himself inside the church. Unless he got captured by more Reapers or another group, I do not see him surviving the second part of season 11. I really hope this gets answered in this part because I could totally see AMC playing this out till part 3 and making the fans wonder what happened to Alden because his body was not in the church. This is the character with the most question marks going into part 2 and I really hope this isn’t another “Heath or Morales” situation.
