The Walking Dead: Who Dies In The Well?

Heading into the second episode of The Walking Dead‘s seventh season, AMC has promised a lighter episode than the brutal premiere which launched a new run of episodes last Sunday.

The new episode will bring the audience to the Kingdom as Carol and Morgan’s journey outside of Alexandria continues. Previews for have shown Khary Payton’s Ezekiel starting back in July when the first Season 7 trailer was released at San Diego Comic Con.

That the brightness and optimistic environment of the Kingdom comes into play just a week after Negan brutally murdered a pair of Alexandrians should be considered as we look at the character’s in danger for the new hour. In fact, showrunner Scott Gimple even promised the new episode would be “funny” which is something Walking Dead fans are definitely not used to.

So, who is in the most danger for The Well?

Rick- Safe. He is broken but Negan wants him alive as an example of what he can do to anyone in Alexandria.

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.

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.

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.

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. No one is safe when they’re hanging around Negan.

Dwight- Safe. Except for Dwight, because he is a loyal follow.

Simon- Safe. And Simon. He’s the right hand man.

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. Enjoy it while it lasts, Negan.

Ezekiel- Safe. The King will bring a refreshing bit of lighthearted joy to The Walking Dead starting on Sunday night.

Carol- Danger. Not only does she have to deal with her physical wounds but her mental damage may be the most threatening.

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.

Father Gabriel- Safe. Gabriel finally knows he has to fight to survive. There is no immediate threat near him.

Jesus- Safe. The ninja-like man full of wit has a lot of fight left in him.

Gregory- Danger. There’s a certain woman gunning for his job.

Who do you think is in the most danger headed into the next new episode of The Walking Dead? Is Negan done with his punishment or does the menace have more of a point to make? Will Ezekiel’s Kingdom provide the sanctuary Carol is looking for?
