Here’s the latest threat to the group after the Whisperers.
Some of these hourlong installments were made from material initially planned for season 11.
Some were freshly created for this new course to the show.

So far, it’s laid the groundwork for old grievances, rekindled friendships, and the post-Whisperer threats.
Let’s start with Maggie, because this episode is mainly about her.
Where exactly has she been all this time, and what has she been up to?
Things were good for a while, but they always went “sideways,” she said.
It was a place she and Glenn once planned to visit for a time.
Unfortunately, she would have no other choice but to go home.
Georgie heard about a city out West, and she left with the twins.
Maggie hasn’t heard from her since.
Maggie, Hershel, and their remaining people fled.
Daryl promises the group still hasn’t decided what to do about Negan yet.
Regardless, they must first retrieve the rest of her people before she can get fully into that issue.
With Hilltop decimated, she now has her eyes set on Alexandria.
He doesn’t speak, but Maggie says he, too, lost a sister recently.
Their relationship deepens when the mission gets complicated.
They reach the spot where Maggie’s people were camped, but the entire place burned down.
Two bodies lie charred in the back of the house.
Is it the Reapers?
Cole and Maggie are convinced they’ve been followed from Knoxville, but it doesn’t seem like it.
We still have no idea who this man is.
She and Daryl fend him off until Kelly, Cole, and Elijah reach them with additional ammo.
Who the heck is Pope?
Is he a Reaper?
Neither Pope or the Reapers are characters from the comics, unless they are secretly some conglomerate of figures.
Alexandria, however, has seen better days as it is.
When they finally make it there, everyone is busy building it back up.
Beta and the Whisperers wrecked the place as a final parting gift.
But Maggie is determined to make a home for Hershel and her people there.
Negan pops his head out of a house to watch Maggie and Hershel walk by.
He’s visibly affected by the sight of them and the memory of Glenn.
Clearly, that beef still isn’t squashed.
