‘The Walking Dead’ Revealed The Mother Of All Secrets On ‘Now’
He confronts her inside about it, and just when she thinks he’s come to stop her he reveals he’s going with her to find Glenn.
According to The Inquisitr, Although we don’t know the fate of Glenn Rhee, we will learn that his wife, Maggie, is pregnant.
“He would have shown me by now, that’s what Michonne said”, she continues.
In tonight’s episode, NOW, Alexandria is recovering from the Wolves attack; we see the wear and tear on Deanna’s face in the sneak peak video. The zombies won’t be removed until Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham return. Rick finishes him off, as she tells him she wants to live and she wants Alexandira to “stay standing”.
The survivors are on lockdown, walking the perimeter and shoring up the walls. And I’m glad they have.

– “Either way, the wall’s gonna hold together”. We’re still on the very same day as when the season began, so these people have been through more in less than 24 hours than they have in an entire lifetime.
But while the Grimes Gang can accept this – after all, compared to dodging cannibals, eating bugs and tearing out men’s jugulars with their bare teeth, Alexandria feels like a spa retreat – the Alexandrians are not happy. Rick has been all about toughening up the townspeople, and “Now” had several tiresome exchanges around that topic-with non-characters like Aaron, Spencer, and Ron wrestling with the carnage the Wolves wrought, and the challenge now posed by the zombie horde. And I cry all over again watching people’s reactions, because oh god, Glenn, not Glenn.
The one Alexandrian ready to get back to business, however, is Jessie. “I can’t. I don’t get to know what will happen, why it happened, what I did right or wrong”, she cries.
Her pregnancy, presumably, is why Maggie suddenly quits her mission at tunnel’s end-despite the way she doggedly fought her way through similar and greater risks when hunting Glenn after the prison fell.
Aaron’s trying really hard to make up for his mistakes … a noble trait which will probably get him killed. But most residents don’t agree with starving if they’re going to die anyway. “What they need … is you”. So much for Deanna snapping out of her post-Reg funk. She went ham on a walker inside the walls and then – bloodied and crazed – handed the reigns of leadership to Rick. Rick somehow managed to escape and hustle the remaining distance back to Alexandria. She is prone to panic attacks but Eugene’s intervention (“You don’t want to be a coward”) helped steel her resolve. “You’re the reason we’re screwed”, he yells in a drunken rage.
We never found out. And, yes, just in case you didn’t get the parallel, Spencer later talks of how he stopped “that run on the bank”. “What happened to dad, to Aiden, that’s all you”. Get a room, you two!
Spencer’s words not only inspire the hungry, hungry hippos to put back their extra canned goods, but also renew Deanna’s belief in Alexandira. Because we saw Nicholas and Glenn tumble into the mosh pit, we’re privy to information that she isn’t. They include Aiden, Nicholas and Glenn’s names on the bottom. When did you find out about that twist and what was your reaction? He gets drunk, and when his mom catches wise he blows up at her, saying (not wrongly) that this is all her fault for having coddled the town instead of making them get tough.
Aaron’s guilt and Maggie’s pain coincide.
In Maggie’s mind, she refuses to believe that Glenn is gone.
Maggie’s disco lights seemed like a better idea than Aaron’s Tunnel of Death. “If he’s alive, he’s trapped, maybe taken”, Maggie says, “If he’s alive he needs my help”. I know there are opinions on every side of the camp about being pregnant in a time like this, but I just find it really exciting. “Not now”, she sighs. Not now. I have to live with that. However, they don’t avoid the walkers completely. Denise’s confidence as the community’s new “medical expert” is shaky. Even then, the multiple mentions likely served for our benefit, rather than the characters themselves, if only to build up enough contextual uncertainty around the situation to pay off somewhere down the line.
When we return to Jessie she’s walking down the street when she notices one of her neighbor’s houses seems a little too quiet. And then turns around to the crowd that’d gathered and announces that, “This is what life looks like now”.
We later see him chugging alcohol in between blaming his mother for the deaths of his father and brother. “If we don’t fight, we die”. She hugs Aaron, who is truly a sweet guy. “Being afraid sucks”, she says, as Alanna smiles.
Rick doesn’t speak, but instead pulls Jessie in for a deep kiss.
“What I want for place, is it really just pie in the sky?” Several surviving Alexandrians made a decision to raid the food bank to make a killer last meal, ignoring all the warnings about rationing. “They could still be alive”. For now, time will tell if viewers will be able to see more of him during this season. But by the end of the episode, Maggie and Aaron were removing his name from the wall – kind of like how Steven Yeun’s name was removed from the show’s credits. Morgan no longer sought to kill and “clear” the area around himself of humans and walkers alike.
We can’t have nice things on The Walking Dead, something we’ve learned time and time again, which means all of the hope about Glenn still being alive and the growing romance between Rick and Jessie is bound to end badly.
-Where the hell was Carol?
We still don’t know if Morgan’s locked up Wolf is injured or bitten. Her absence during all of this rebuilding and recovery spoke volumes.
