Maggie buried the body while Negan was sleeping. He took that as another betrayal because he has nothing and no one anymore. Maggie saw to that. He taunted that her own son no longer wants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The kid has chosen someone else to play Mommy with and Negan loved every moment in which he made Maggie feel bad about it. He said she\u2019s keeping him alive because he was the one person that made her feel better about her own life. He was the worst person she knew. And so Negan pointed out that she was no prize either because her life was a crap pile.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maggie finally had enough of his mouth. She handed him the knife. She gave him a once in a lifetime opportunity of stabbing her back. It has a ten second window.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She was counting down as Negan genuinely considered it when they were found. There was wanted fliers all over the city of them. There were drawn with incredible likeness. The New Babylon people were looking for them. They were wanted dead or alive. The two siblings that found Maggie and Negan were hoping to use that them to negotiate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The siblings were Renata and Luis. Maggie guessed that they were siblings before they confirmed it. Renata even asked Maggie if Negan was her brother because those two were fighting like siblings when they came across them. One pair had knives. The other had guns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The real siblings ended up winning in that moment of whether to fight or submit. Renata and Luis were taking Maggie and Negan to whoever put out the reward when they ran across Maggie\u2019s boy, Hershel. Hershel called out for his mom just seconds before a bomb went off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bomb disturbed everything. Negan and Maggie took shelter in a basement. They were followed by several of the walking dead. Their hands were still tied yet they managed to fight them off. Hershel soon joined them. Even the siblings themselves eventually came and they brought the Croat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Croat was injured. The siblings could\u2019ve left him to die. They didn\u2019t because they were trying to save a baby. The Croat had been running things in that city not that long ago. They now needed him to save a baby\u2019s life. Its why they abducted Negan and Maggie in the first place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Four months ago, Renata was celebrating with her family. It didn\u2019t matter that the world mostly belonged to the undead. It didn\u2019t matter that they were living under The Croat\u2019s dictatorship. The family was celebrating in honor of new life. The siblings had a brother. He and his wife were about to have a baby.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was all going well until the Croat broke in. He demanded that Renata follow the deal like planned. Whatever this deal was \u2013 it wasn\u2019t discussed at first. It was also rejected by Renata so the Croat had to give her a lesson.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No true dictatorship can stand if questioned. The Croat killed their uncle. He then killed their brother who was just celebrating the pregnancy. The Croat probably would\u2019ve killed them all if Renata hadn\u2019t threatened to kill them all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The dictator left with his goons and Renata tried to move on with her family, but it doesn\u2019t look like her sister-in-law will make it full-term. She was going into labor. Luis was a doctor. He needed supplies if they were going to save the last bit of their brother. And so they needed the Croat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Croat knew where the oxygen tanks were. He knew how to get his hands onto either items as well. They needed him so Renata stopped her brother from killing him. Several times! She kept reminding him of the bigger picture and so the Croat got to talking. He said he had an extra tank buried.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also mentioned that there were plans to set them up for the rest of their lives buried there too. The Croat\u2019s one demand was that he\u2019d go with them. He took an injury during the explosion. He was bleeding out. He needed to see his life\u2019s work one last time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maggie agreed to help the siblings. She was going to make up the numbers. The same goes for her son who claimed to have seen the light about that sociopath. They needed more. Maggie asked Negan to help out as well. Negan pretty much wrote off the baby as dead. He went upstairs where he found a bar and another living person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bar was the bottom floor of the motel. The bartender had practically turned it into his fortress. He also had a couple of zombies stuck to stools in his bar. It turns out they had been keeping him company for a long time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bartender chose to stay. Negan figured he had nothing to lose so he went with the others. It ended up being Negan who finally put the Croat out of his misery. He was dying anyways.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The one good thing he ever did was show them how to save Yvette\u2019s baby. Even their late brother Chucho played a part. They had needed methane. They never got rid of Chucho\u2019s body. Luis couldn\u2019t bring himself to do it before then. He took his brother\u2019s head. He used it to provide energy to the building. They were able to save the baby with his help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once that was done, Renata offered to let them stay. She said the Croat wasn\u2019t wrong about the island. It could be a fortress if you let it. They were surrounded by water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They had fertile fields. New Babylon was considered falling apart. The Croat had set off explosions that shook them to their core. They were even questioning their boss lady. She didn\u2019t rule like the Croat so she didn\u2019t kill them for their doubts. She instead pointed out that every following began with the broken. And that\u2019s exactly who most of her followers were.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Maggie took Renata up on her offer. She and her son were staying with them in the hospital they outfitted. They lacked muscle. Maggie agreed to be theirs. Negan did go back to that bar with the creepy bartender.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Only he\u2019ll still be involved. He and Maggie have somehow learned to trauma bond what with everything they\u2019ve been through.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But something says New York wasn\u2019t going to stay peaceful for long.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">THE END!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n        (function(d, s, id) {\n            var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n            if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n            js = d.createElement(s);\n            js.id = id;\n            js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=151439664950885\";\n            fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n        }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight on AMC our favorite show The Walking Dead: Dead City air and we have the all-new Sunday, July 26, 2026, episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City recap below.
