Hilarie Burton debuts as Negan’s wife Lucille in flashbacks.

It’s weird to think of “Here’s Negan” as the season 10 finale.

Aside from the first one, focusing on Maggie’s return, it was also the most informative.

But for the sake of keeping everything organized, we’ll go through it chronologically.

Months before the outbreak, Negan and Lucille’s relationship has hit a major rough patch.

(The same leather jacket he would end up wearing after the outbreak.)

If that weren’t enough, Lucille finds out she has cancer.

Instead, she tells him she has cancer.

He quietly breaks things off with Janine and turns his attention to taking care of his wife.

Then the outbreak happens.

At this point, Negan doesn’t want to kill because he fears he’ll get used to it.

They’re able to keep things going for a while, but one night changes everything.

She also suggests they smoke some weed Negan found earlier while out scavenging.

They wake the next day to find that the generator isn’t on anymore.

Lucille just wants him to stay with her.

Still, he goes anyway.

He doesn’t want to give up fighting.

They’re a small group who use mannequins as fake lookouts like scarecrows for any enemies.

Negan wakes up in their trailer, where he’s being treated with an IV and fed some food.

He tells them about his wife’s condition and they give him the supplies he needs.

Before he leaves, Laura warns of a local gang that runs the roads at night.

She gives him the same bat she used to knock him out earlieranother piece of the Negan puzzle.

Negan ends up revealing the location of Franklin and Laura.

Baxter has him locked up in a storage closet for the night to double-check he’s telling the truth.

When morning comes, he’s given back his medical supplies and released.

Negan races home to give Lucille her chemo, but he finds her dead.

Lucille swallowed a bunch of pills and put a plastic bag over her head.

He then returns to the gang’s hideout that night as they are interrogating Franklin and kills them all.

Carol had claimed the council at Alexandria voted to banish him, so she brought him there to live.

He digs around the tree until he finds where he left Lucille, the bat.

Now at Leah’s, he speaks to the bat as if it were his late wife.

He apologizes for everything he put her through and for not being there for her when she needed it.

Negan returns to Alexandria the next day as everyone continues to rebuild the town.

The same for the characters.

He does so even with Carol’s warning that Maggie might just kill him.

We’ll just have to wait for the final season to see if she actually does.
