Possible Season Finale Spoilers
**Warning** Possible Negan/Lucille spoilers ahead. If you don't wanna know. Now is a good time to run. This is going to be a long post.
STD posted some Spoilery Highlights for the finale yesterday. At this time we cannot confirm or deny the entire spoiler. We can say that some of the information we have confirmed for the finale does match up with some of these highlights. However, there are some discrepancies as well. We're going to lay out what they posted and then share bits that we have already confirmed with our sources.
From StD:
- At Alexandria they are preparing to transport Maggie to the Hilltop via RV. Rick, Abraham, Glen, Maggie, Aaron, Eugene and Carl all tag come along on this venture. Rick would rather Aaron stay, but Aaron says the only way to stop him is to shoot him or punch him (again).
Our response:
This is not completely correct. Rick and Company do travel in the RV, but Glenn is not with them initially. Maggie is extremely ill and feverish, lying in the back of the RV. Sasha is also in the RV. Aaron comes with them because he feels he owes Maggie. Carl is there and he’s just pissed off.
From StD:
- Along the way the roads are blocked by different groups of saviors. Our people faced one group similarly to how Daryl, Sasha and Abraham faced the group which they blew up, but this time was different. This group had an unnamed victim with them (the armored guy being beaten at the beginning of the episode.).
Our response:
This appears to be accurate. We know at the first meeting, it’s only with a few Saviors. Rick meets the Lead Savior (played by Steven Ogg) at this time. Also in the scene is the lone survivor of the library camp raid (played by Kevin Murphy) where we previously reported that Morgan finds a wounded Carol. He is bloody and beaten. The Saviors kick him repeatedly. One of them spray paints an orange X on his chest.
Everyone gets out of the RV except Maggie. The Lead Savior nods to them and then over to the beaten man. He explains that the man is someone who was with people that didn't listen. Rick offers to make a deal.
The Lead Savior comes off as almost friendly as he explains that they can make deal. That deal involves taking half their **** and possibly killing someone in their group. But then they can all move forward and it's all just business. Rick doesn't back down and says, "Do you want to make today your last day on Earth?” The Lead Savior tells Rick that he better be extra nice to those people in the RV because you never know when it’s your last day on Earth. As they get in the RV and leave, the Lead Savior kicks the man on the ground again.
From StD:
In the woods there’s a group of saviors watching who start whistling then start shooting at our group, taunting them, driving them back into a certain direction that they want. Rick realizes this after seeing that that the saviors are purposely only shooting at the group’s legs.
Our Response:
We can confirm that Rick mentions that the Saviors were all shooting at their feet. So this appears to be accurate.
Here are the parts of the spoilers that we do not have information on at the moment. So we cannot confirm for sure if they are accurate or not:
- Now on another road, our group comes across a chain of walkers, two of which are wearing things that belong to Michonne and Daryl (two locks of Michonne’s hair and Daryl’s jacket). Because of this everyone comes to the realization that Daryl and Michonne are hostages.
Toward the end our group is cornered and becomes surrounded by the saviors and taken captive, with Michonne and Daryl (who turn out to be alive) brought into the mix to join them. I’ve heard it’s nine people in total from our group: Rick, Carl, Glenn, Daryl, Michonne, Maggie, Abraham, Eugene and Aaron.
- Then man you all have been waiting for, Negan, shows up in the last ten minutes of the episode, along with his barbed-wired bat that he calls by name "Lucille”.
- He has a long monologue in which he explains that Rick killed a lot of his people and that Rick and the others have to start working for him, giving him half of what they have. And as retribution he concludes that he’s going to kill one of them and if anybody tried to stop him he would take Carl’s other eye and give it to Rick to eat.
- Our group are all on their knees as he decides who to kill; He looks at Maggie (who’s health/stomach pains have worsened), but Glenn interjects and Negan says he was thinking to kill her so he could get her out of her pains. He has trouble deciding which one to kill so he begins his game of “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe” Every one of our captured characters’ faces are shown during the count.
And the moment we’ve all been waiting for….
- When he finally chooses, the camera view switches to the ill-fated character’s point of view, so we don’t know who has been selected. Negan bashes his/her head and their vision/the camera becomes blurry. Everybody starts shouting at the carnage. Then Negan makes a few more hits causing the ill-fated character to fall on the ground, and after a one more final hit there is a sudden fade to black. End credits, end season. Who's the victim? Nobody knows... It's a cliffhanger from hell.
NOTE: At this time we CANNOT confirm the information on Negan and Lucille scene. Once we do get confirmation on it we will post. So take this for what it's worth. Some of the information in this spoiler is accurate so others could be as well.

Also, here is part of the opener of the finale that we have confirmed with our sources:
In one part of the opener the Saviors have dragged a lone survivor (Kevin Patrick Murphy) out on a desolate road. Other Saviors are blocking the road with their cars. The survivor asks, "What is this?" The Lead Savior (Steven Ogg) responds that they are making an example out of him. The survivor asks "To who?" and explains that all his people from the library are dead. The Lead Savior begins kicking him.
