The actress also addresses that time-jump ending and surviving the “corridor of crazy.”

And the person doing the demanding while donning white Commonwealth armor was none other than… What’s the beef between Maggie and the Commonwealth?
Why did she take out all those Reapers?
And what exactly did she expect to find when returning to that church?

We asked Cohan all that and more.
There’s a lot going on there.
LAUREN COHAN:Yeah, that was so much fun.

Between episode 8 and this is so much action.
This sequence felt very visceral to be in this tiny little hallway, and Alex is a great fighter.
Even with three of us versus him, we still get a beatdown.
I mean, that’s the most beaten-up I think we’ve seen Maggie.
And there was the crack to Okea’s leg, and all this kind of stuff.
But it was great fun.
There was a lot of chiropractic adjustment afterwards.
Later, Daryl stops Maggie from killing Carver and this deal gets made with Leah to let them leave.
But then Maggie looks at Elijah, changes her mind, and starts killing everybody.
What’s behind that move to just say “screw it” and take those dudes out?
There is a calm that Maggie finds briefly.
He’s literally physically snapped, and just broken and prevented from doing it.
We don’t know.
What do you think eventually happens there if he stays?
How could she not?
How could you face the person every single day that did that?
What do you think she’s expecting to find there?
That scene was just heartbreaking.
He’s just so much fun.
So she sort of saved one brother but lost another.
It’s what makes the show good, but it sucks.
Why is Maggie on the other side of that wall?
It’s more about why is Daryl on the other side of that wall?
[Laughs] We see Lance Hornsby, and his suit iswaytoo clean for him, from the outset.
Our people have every reason not to trust someone like that.
I love that moment [when they first show up at Alexandria].
You know, Gabriel’s face shows so much.
And when Jerry calls from the gate, yells, “Something’s coming!”
it’s just like, come on!
What else can possibly happen?
And we will find out.
