And if you're worried that the investigation is going to tear our beloved team apart, let executive producer Gary Glasberg assure you otherwise. "Our group will be working together as a team more often [this season] and not be quite as splintered as they sometimes are," he says.

It's the most talked-about whisper since Lost went to TV heaven: What did The Walking Dead's Dr. Jenner tell Rick just before the survivors left the Centers for Disease Control in the Season 1 finale?

But before Dr. Jenner (Noah Emmerich) blew the place sky-high, he whispered something to Rick. Judging by Rick's reaction, Dr. Jenner's final words seem to be vitally important... and somewhat of a shock. But what did he say?
The Walking Dead creator on Season 2: "This world will get more dangerous"
Although the show won't return until the fall, the suspense is killing us. So we did some thinking — and some careful reading of Robert Kirkman's graphic novel upon which the show is based — and came up with our two best guesses.
