The Walking Dead: 5 Predictions For ‘The Other Side’

With only three episodes left in season seven, things on The Walking Dead are really starting to heat up.

Last week left fans shocked, as multiple characters lost their lives, and both Morgan and Carol were reverted back to their old ways.

In tonight’s episode, titled ‘The Other Side‘, the focus shifts to the folks at Hilltop. More importantly, the episode will give plenty of attention to Sasha and Rosita’s mission to infiltrate the Sanctuary and kill Negan.

With their mission being considered nearly suicidal – and the Saviors on the hunt for Daryl – this week could see another hour of shocking television.

So, what’s going to happen on The Walking Dead tonight? Here are five predictions to ponder until the episode begins at 9.

Maggie Shows Leadership

If you’ve read the comics, you know that Maggie ends up becoming the leader of Hilltop during the All Our War. People respect her brand of leadership, and choose her over the failing Gregory.

On the show, those seeds have already been planted. The people like Maggie, and she’s been teased as a leader since the group first arrived in Alexandria.

This week, look for that move to go even further. Things are about to heat up with the Saviors, and Maggie will need to step up to get everyone through safely.

The Saviors Find Daryl

Daryl is in hiding, and every Savior under Negan’s rule is tasked with finding the escapee. Instead of hiding out in the only safe place around – The Kingdom – Daryl went back to Hilltop.

As the villains raid the community this week, it’s going to be hard to keep Daryl hidden. Odds are, Simon finds out that he’s around.

If this happens, look for a battle to break out. Daryl isn’t going back to the Sanctuary, so he’d easily kill to keep that from happening.

Dwight Turns

If the show follows the comics – in regards to Dwight’s character – he’s in store for a big change really soon.

Comic readers know that Dwight doesn’t stay loyal to Negan for long, and that he eventually decided to pledge his allegiance to Rick and the other survivors. This is what gave them the upper-hand against the Saviors.

There have been plenty of signs pointing to Dwight’s turn, and this week could be the time when viewers finally see it happen.

Eugene Switches Sides

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Dwight could potentially switch sides this week, but he isn’t the only one.

Eugene has acted pretty friendly to Negan as of late, and it’s unclear where is allegiance actually lies. 

When Sasha and Rosita roll in, Eugene’s loyalty will be tested. He may pick the wrong team this time.

Sasha Or Rosita Die

Both of these women know that this mission is basically suicide, and they both understand that the chances of both of them making it out alive are very slim.

No matter what, this mission ends in at least one death. Whether it’s this week or next, either Sasha or Rosita – or both – will die.
