After a week of peace, love, and tigers on The Walking Dead, we're preparing to dive back into the violence. This Sunday's episode, 'The Cell', will focus on Negan's people and what they've been up to since taking Daryl hostage.

What can we expect from this episode?

For starters, we will surely learn what's going on with Daryl. The Saviors took him after leaving Rick's group and he's bound to be in some deep situations back at the Sanctuary.

There's a good chance we'll learn about life at the compound, how Negan works as a leader, and maybe even some more history on Dwight's character.

Click through the slideshow to check out five predictions for 'The Cell'.

We Learn Dwight's Backstory

Dwight has been a pretty mysterious character so far and not much is known about his origin or backstory. Since this episode focuses on life at the Sanctuary, it's a pretty good bet that we'll get a little more insight into the character.

Dwight first showed up in the woods with a couple of women in tow. After taking Daryls crossbow and motorcycle, he heads runs away. The next time we see him, he's got the scars on his face, and no women to speak of.

What happened between those two visits? There's a great chance we learn in this episode exactly what Dwight had been up to.

Negan Uses The Iron

In the opening credits, Jeffery Dean Morgan's name appears in front of a picture of an iron sitting in a fire.

If you're not a comic fan, this probably meant nothing. If you are, than you know exactly what they're teasing.

Negan is known for his brutal punishment of his disobedient followers, and the iron is his trademark move. It's what happened to Dwight's face in the comics.

What he will do is heat up an iron, and burn the side of a man's face. Since we're seeing more about Negan's life in this episode, this could be a featured scene.

Dwight Breaks Daryl

Daryl is in the most difficult place he's been in since the series began. Even at his weakest, Daryl has felt some semblance of power.

At this point though, he's completely shattered.

Daryl is feeling major guilt after getting Glenn killed in the season premiere and Dwight is likely using that to torture him at the Sanctuary. Remember those pictures of bashed heads Glenn saw during their compound raid? Twenty spot says Daryl will see Glenn's this week.

After constant torture, Daryl's strong will may not be able to hold up any longer. He's worn, dirty, and on the verge of brokenness. This episode, Dwight will take him there.

Negan Leaves For Alexandria

In the comics, Negan makes a surprise visit to Alexandria to take half of what they have, and just keep Rick on his toes. Instead of waiting the two weeks like he claims, he's in Alexandria in a matter of days.

We know that episode five goes back to Rick and the group, and the description says they are shocked by a surprise visitor.

Yes, that definitely means Negan is coming.

Since this scene is happening next week, look for Negan to tease the scene in this episode. He could either have a conversation about it, or begin packing to head that way as the episode ends.

Daryl Kills A Savior

We said Daryl will break, but we know he isn't going to go down without taking a few enemies with him. If he has an opportunity, Daryl will try and escape.

Just as he did with Negan in the season premiere, Daryl will pop off if given an opening. In the middle of his torture scenes, Daryl will be itching at the opportunity to take vengeance on any of the Saviors.

This may not be the best idea if Daryl wants to keep on living, but staying quiet just isn't his style.

What do you think will happen this Sunday? Anything we missed or got wrong? Let us know in the comments below!
