If you've been following season 9 of
The Walking Dead you'll know that there's big trouble brewing between Hilltop/Alexandra and the sinister Whisperers, and if you've read the comics, you'll probably be well aware that things escalate to seriously disturbing levels.
Spoilers for
The Walking Dead comic and quite possibly the show from this point on.
Around this time in Robert Kirkman's comic series, Alpha marks her border by killing several characters and sticking their heads on pikes as a warning to Rick Grimes. Among the more prominent players to fall victim to the deranged Whisperer leader are Ezekiel and Rosita.
Obviously we don't know if the show will follow these events to the letter, but the synopsis for the season finale, "The Storm," does confirm that our heroes are going to suffer "an overwhelming loss."
In the aftermath of an overwhelming loss, the communities must brave a ferocious blizzard; as one group deals with an enemy from within, another is forced to make a life or death decision.
What do you guys think? Are Rosita and Ezekiel (among others) for the chop, or will the show pull a swerve and kill off someone we're not expecting? We should find out for sure in next week's penultimate episode, "The Calm Before."
