Jaw-dropping Revelation: The Shocking Truth Behind Maggie's Vengeance on Negan in The Walking Dead Season Finale

Summary

Maggie is determined to "end it" with Negan, though it remains uncertain whether her intention is to eliminate him or find a resolution, considering her thirst for revenge following Glenn's demise.

Negan's need to embrace his old self in order to assist the Dama is likely to have an impact on Maggie upon her return to Manhattan. SPOILER ALERT: In episode 6 of The Walking Dead: Dead City, star Lauren Cohan discusses Maggie's actions towards Negan in the season 1 finale, and shares her perspective on the matter. Maggie trades Negan to the Croat in exchange for her son, Hershel, in the latest episode. By luring Negan to Manhattan with the pretense of obtaining his help in killing the Croat, Maggie successfully retrieves Hershel but leaves the former Saviors leader in the hands of the Croat.

In a pre-strike interview with AMC Talk, Cohan shared Maggie's perspective on her actions in the season 1 finale of The Walking Dead: Dead City. While not divulging all the details, Cohan hinted that trading Negan for Hershel did not provide Maggie with permanent solace. This suggests that Maggie's emotions regarding Negan will play a significant role in season 2 of The Walking Dead: Dead City. Here's what Cohan had to say:

I won't reveal too much, but there are various elements I'm eagerly anticipating exploring. I have certain desires for the storyline, as well as a genuine curiosity about what would make it compelling. What I can say is that it's not a simple exchange of Negan for Hershel where everything magically falls into place. Much like the complex situations in this world, the hope for peace and relief doesn't always come to fruition. If it does, it may only occur fleetingly or in fragmented instances. It's those moments when you continue moving forward and contemplate the right course of action that truly captivate me.

What's Next For Maggie & Negan In Dead City Season 2?

Maggie's storyline in The Walking Dead: Dead City reveals that her struggle with seeking revenge against Negan is far from resolved. She confides in Hershel that she plans to confront Negan in New York City, determined to "finish it." However, it remains uncertain whether Maggie intends to kill Negan as an act of vengeance or if she hopes to find resolution and forgiveness for Glenn's death.

Meanwhile, in the season 1 finale of The Walking Dead: Dead City, Negan is recruited by the Dama to help her expand her control over areas outside of Manhattan. Negan finds himself in a situation where he must embrace his past as the leader of the Saviors in order to assist the Dama, as she threatens to harm Hershel. The consequences of Negan's involvement with the Dama on Maggie's return to Manhattan are still unknown.

Maggie's vague statement in the final moments of The Walking Dead: Dead City episode 6 suggests that she may be inclined to resolve her issues with Negan diplomatically. However, if her thirst for revenge continues to linger, Maggie could potentially become Negan's adversary if she believes he has reverted back to his former ways. The future of Maggie and Negan's relationship remains uncertain as we eagerly await the return of The Walking Dead: Dead City for its second season.
