Episode Breakdown – 7A
We got you a present today, buttercups! We gathered up the most pertinent information from the filming of the first part of the season. We thought we would package them up nicely for you in an easy to follow episode breakdown. This is just the first half of the season. We will post what we have for the second half of the season at a later time. Keep in mind that this information is not confirmed. It’s based on thorough tracking and investigation.
Episode 7.1
Characters: Rick, Carl, Michonne, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie, Abe, Eugene, Rosita, Aaron, Sasha, Negan, Dwight, Simon (Steven Ogg), other Saviors.
Location: Mostly in the clearing where we last left off. There was also filming with Negan and Rick in the RV over where the burning logs from 6.16 were. One day of filming at Alexandria for a supposed dream sequence.
Highlights:
• We believe Abe and Glenn will both fall victim to Lucille
• Daryl gets taken prisoner by the Saviors
• Negan takes Rick on a mindfuck adventure in the RV
• There’s a rumored dream sequence which will feature the main characters including the Lucille victims. There’s also supposed to be a Gleggie baby in this scene
Episode 7.2
Characters: Daryl, Negan, Dwight, Sherry, Saviors
Location: The majority of the episode takes place at the Sanctuary. There was also filming in different areas around Griffin for a car chase scene
Highlights:
• Seems to focus on the inner-workings of the Sanctuary
• Daryl is tortured as a prisoner. Might make a failed escape attempt.
• Dwight is involved in a chase scene where he and a few other Saviors chase down a rogue savior who has escaped the Sanctuary.
Episode 7.3
Characters: Carol, Morgan, Ezekiel, “Rogers” (Richard), other Kingdom people
Location: The majority of the episode takes place at the Kingdom. There was also some outside filming at an abandoned carwash and apartment complex. They also filmed at the creeptastic house for this episode.
Highlights:
• We meet Ezekiel and Shiva!
• The Kingdom people and Morgan take part in some sort of piggy roundup (pigs can be seen eating walkers in trailer)
• We learn about the Kingdom and check in with Morgan and Carol
• Carol seems to separate from Morgan and the Kingdom and end up at the creeptastic house with the graveyard.
Episode 7.4
Characters: Rick, Carl, Michonne, Daryl, Rosita, Aaron, Enid, Father G, Eugene, Negan, Dwight, Spencer, Olivia, Tobin, Judith(?)
Location: Alexandria. There was also some filming outside the walls at a farm location.
Highlights:
• Negan and his crew come knocking at Alexandria for Team Family’s first “offering”
• Negan totes around a captured Daryl, who is wearing a ridiculous prison suit
• Rick is forced to carry around Lucille while Negan and the Saviors take half their shit
• Rosita and Spencer seem to pair off and go outside the walls together. Michonne also goes off on her own for some unknown mission.
Episode 7.5
Characters: Rick, Michonne, Carl, Enid, Maggie, Sasha, Aaron, Jesus, Gregory, Simon (Steven Ogg)
Location: Alexandria and Hilltop. Also some filming with Carl and Enid outside the walls.
Highlights:
• Carl and Enid appear to journey to the Hilltop. Carl was seen driving a car over walkers.
• Maggie and Sasha are shown living at the Hilltop. We assume Maggie recovers.
• Judging by the trailer there is a fire and several walkers infiltrate the Hilltop gate.
• Simon and the Saviors visit the Hilltop for their offering. Carl and Jesus sneak into one of Negan’s trucks.
Episode 7.6
Characters: Tara, Heath, “Jennie” (Sydney Park), “Naomi” (Deborah May)
Location: Woods/River/ Old giftshop/ Jekyll Island?
Highlights:
• This appears to be a bottle episode showing what happened on Tara and Heath’s supply run that started last season
• Tara and Heath appear to get separated when they run into walkers on a bridge
• Tara encounters a small group of women and children who we think have been mostly wiped out by the Saviors
• Tara makes it back to Alexandria. However, Heath does not. This doesn’t necessarily mean he is dead. We just don’t know at this point.
Episode 7.7
Characters: Negan, Carl, Dwight, Sherry, Jesus, Daryl, Rick, Michonne, Eugene, Rosita, Aaron, Father G, Olivia, Judith
Location: Sanctuary, Alexandria, couple of locations outside of the walls
Highlights:
• Since Carl appeared to be filming inside of one of the Saviors’ trucks we feel confident that Carl will get his comic arc with Negan. We believe we’ll see several scenes from issues 104/105 in the comics. We will most likely meet Negan’s wives including Amber and her old boyfriend Mark, who will probably have an unfortunate encounter with an iron.
• Aaron and Rick seem to be on a supply run while Carl sneaks off to the Sanctuary
• Michonne also appears to be on a mission and encounters a mystery woman who we believe is a Savior
• Rosita and Eugene make bullets
• Negan takes Carl back home to Alexandria. Judith was also filming on the day they come back. We speculate that Negan will encounter Judith.
Episode 7.8
Characters: Rick, Carl, Michonne, Tara, Rosita, Eugene, Spencer, Father G, Negan, Daryl, Maggie, Sasha, Jesus, Gregory, Enid, Carol, Morgan
Location: Alexandria, Hilltop, the Sanctuary, Creeptastic House, the road
Highlights:
• Suspicious activity and a possible death dinner leads us to believe Spencer dies in this episode. We think he will get his famous guts scene from the comics
• There’s some whispers that Olivia might be a goner in this episode too
• Michonne was filming in a car with the unknown woman from episode 7.7
• Judging by photos that came out during episode 7.9, it looks like Aaron’s face got roughed up. We speculate he gets into some kind of altercation in this episode.
• Looks like we will briefly check in with Carol and Morgan at the creeptastic house
• Rick, Michonne, Carl, Tara,and Rosita go to the Hilltop
• Eugene might get captured or leave ASZ in this episode. He is at the Sanctuary by episode 11.
• We think this will be the episode where Daryl finally escapes the Sanctuary. He might receive assistance from Jesus as well as somebody from inside the Sanctuary. We think he will reunite with Rick and Co at the Hilltop.
Sounds like we have a badass season to look forward to this year. Get here faster, October!
