No matter how many battles Rick has won during the All Out War, Negan has still seemed overly confident about his position against his rival. On tonight’s newest episode of The Walking Dead, a couple of Saviors finally revealed Negan’s secret weapon, showing that he had a plan for Rick’s current attack on the Sanctury.

Michonne and Rosita came upon two Saviors in a wearhouse, watching over something they called The Fat Lady. Taking from the old saying, “It ain’t over til the fat lady sings,” the weapon was actually more of a distraction than a weapon itself. The Fat Lady was a truck that was wired with enormous speakers, piling higher than the roof of the vehicle itself. Upon flipping a switch, the machine would blare loud opera music that could be heard from hundreds of yards in any direction.

This, of course, was going to be used to draw the herd away from the Sanctuary, eventually leading them to one of Rick’s colonies down the road.

We’re talking in past tense here because the entire plan has been foiled, and The Fat Lady no longer exists. Towards the end of the episode, Daryl and Tara arrived just in time to stop the Saviors, crashing into the side of the truck and destroying Negan’s secret weapon.

It looks like the villain will need to find another way out of the Sanctuary, but something tells us Negan is up to the task.
