The Walking Dead: What's Going to Happen to Maggie?

Maggie's dealing with some heavy stuff. Here's how she'll move forward

Maggie Rhee (you better learn that name) (Lauren Cohan) has been absent since heading off to Hilltop to get medical attention for complications with her pregnancy after her husband Glenn (Steven Yeun) was murdered in the season premiere of The Walking Dead. But she's back on "Go Getters," Sunday's episode.

There was a little bit of a fake-out last week when Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) told the Saviors she was dead, but she's very much alive. She's still in Hilltop with Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) being treated by Dr. Carson (R. Keith Harris), the obstetrician we met last season.

Recovery isn't the only reason she's in Hilltop, though: She has unfinished business with Gregory (Xander Berkeley), the colony's slimy leader. Maggie negotiated a deal with Gregory in which she promised that the Alexandrians would take out the Saviors in exchange for half of Hilltop's supplies. Obviously, that deal didn't work out, and Maggie probably feels like Gregory didn't adequately warn her about how strong and ruthless Negan and the Saviors really are. Don't be surprised if this episode sets up Maggie to make moves to become a leader at Hilltop who will help mobilize its residents against Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

And as for the baby, it's probably fine. The Walking Dead is a cruel show, but it wouldn't kill hope by having Maggie miscarry right now.

The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9/8c on AMC.
