There's still a month before
As a synopsis for the second half of Season 8 promises, though, it's not just Rick that is struggling on the series. Every major character has been forced to compromise the things they believe in throughout the war with Negan--including Negan himself.
Take a look at the lengthy synopsis of Season 8B below:
All out war has had a devastating impact on every person involved. The communities themselves are fractured. Alexandria has been destroyed, the Hilltop finds themselves pinned, and the Kingdom is shattered--half of them dead, the other half controlled by the Saviors.
At the very center--Rick, having been distracted by the conflict, has just returned home to learn that Carl, who heroically shepherded the Alexandrians to safety during Negan's attack, has been bitten by a walker. Once his sole motivation in this otherwise stark existence, Rick is forced to deal with this reality. Carl has always been a beacon of hope, a symbol for the remaining thread of humanity--lessons that the survivors around him would be wise to take with them as this war surges onward.
But Rick isn't the only person who's living in peril. Aaron and Enid are in a dire situation at Oceanside--unclear if they're in friendly territory, or if they've just made new enemies. Father Gabriel will do his part in attempting to smuggle Dr. Carson safely back to the Hilltop and a pregnant Maggie is wrestling with the many moral gray areas that come with leadership during war. In a standoff with the Saviors, she must decide how to proceed with the dozens of POW lives she's currently in control of, as well as new complications that come with being a leader.
In addition to the war, Negan continues to deal with struggles within his ranks as workers, traitors, and others' thirst for power cause conflict at the Sanctuary. Having gifted the Saviors a major victory, Eugene's loyalty is repeatedly tested as new obstacles present themselves.
As all-out-war consumes us, the line between good and evil continues to blur. People fighting for what they believe in. Everybody working together for something bigger--to feel safe and have a world worth living in.
While it's already widely known that Riggs will be departing the series shortly after it returns, it's likely that more will fall by the time the war is over. Given how the series is going against comic book canon with the death of Carl, though, there's no telling who else could be killed off by the time the season is over.
Whatever the case, the carnage is only going to get crazier from here as Rick and those he trusts band together for one final assault on Negan. The Walking Dead returns Sunday, February 25, on AMC.
