Looks like Maggie’s favorite person is making a deal with the Devil.
(No, not Negan.)
It looks like Lance Hornsby is getting a powerful new ally, one who has a vendetta against Maggie.

In this week’s “Trust.”
Lance already smells bulls— on the Alexandrians.
He shows up to the apartment building and finds everyone dead, except for Gabriel and Aaron.
Maggie, having witnessed the villainy of Carlson, turns them away.
But Daryl, wanting to protect his own, persuades Maggie to let them in.
(Bad move, Lance.)
But there’s nothing to find.
Fortunately, he does find them.
Leah, however, is prepared for them.
She picks off most of the soldiers one by one, but shoots to injure, not kill.
When it’s clear he’s completely outmatched, Lance calls out to her, hoping to talk.
She emerges and he reveals he wants to hire her.
Now, Leah’s path is crossing with Maggie’s yet again.
We’re expecting a lot more bloodshed.
Elsewhere in the episode, the Alexandrians are gaining new allies.
Expect big things and at least one dangling cliffhanger.
