The Walking Dead fans are still reeling from the deaths of Abraham and Glenn but Season 7 promises to be one of the more relentless of the series. With Negan introduced, the grim reaper is never too far away.

Pairing knowledge of the comics with footage from recent previews and other events of the TV series, some characters appear to be in more danger than others. Of course, the balance of power is completely leaning towards Negan running the show and keeping himself and his group safe.
Let’s take a look at who is in danger and who is safe heading into the fourth episode of The Walking Dead‘s seventh season.
Rick- Safe. He is broken but Negan wants him alive as an example of what he can do to anyone in Alexandria. He will be broken even further by bowing to the new menace as he takes whatever he pleases from Rick’s home in front of everyone Rick leads.
Carl- Safe. If Carl were to die, especially if killed, Rick would not only slay the murderer on the spot or die trying, but would also lose his will to live. Carl’s evolution continues.
Aaron- Safe. After dodging Negan, Aaron will press on, though his boyfriend may run into trouble along the way.
Maggie- Safe. Maggie will go to a dark place after watching her husband getting beaten to death but the last remaining memeber of the Greene family will evolve and emerge as a leader, especially at the Hilltop. Absent from 7×04.
Eugene- Safe. It will be tough for Eugene to go on after his best friend and protector was brutally killed in front of him but the hair game will remain strong and Eugene will be forced to find his place on his own.
Sasha- Danger. Having lost everyone in her life, Sasha is broken down and willing to risk it all to take out Negan. Absent from 7×04.
Rosita- Safe. She’s a soldier who knows how to adapt. While she may not be as content with aspects of her life as she would wish, she realizes proper avenues of revenge and thinks more rationally than most.
Daryl- Danger. After being broken down by Negan and Dwight, a field trip to his hometown of Alexandria will test Daryl’s will.
Dwight- Safe. He has some serious internal struggles going on but his following of Negan keeps him safe for now.
Simon- Danger. The right hand man doesn’t exactly pay attention to detail. Foolishness and disrespect do not do well around Negan.
Negan- Safe. He is in complete control of his group and several others. That said, he did a great job of pissing off the one man who can rally enough people to take him down. He will, however, enjoy it while it lasts.
Ezekiel- Safe. The King will bring a refreshing bit of lighthearted joy to The Walking Dead starting on Sunday night. Absent from 7×04.
Carol- Safe. She is still a threat to herself but Ezekiel isn’t going to let her run too far. Absent from 7×04.
Morgan- Safe. Best equipped to take on threats around him and trained in disciplined fighting, Morgan does what it takes to survive and protect those around him. Absent from 7×04.
Father Gabriel- Safe. Gabriel finally knows he has to fight to survive. There is no immediate threat near him.
Olivia- Danger. When Negan cozies up next to you as he does with Olivia in the Season 7 trailer, you better have accepted the worst possible fate.
Jesus- Safe. The ninja-like man full of wit has a lot of fight left in him. Absent from 7×04.
Gregory- Danger. There’s a certain woman gunning for his job. Absent from 7×04.
Who do you think is in the most danger in Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead?
