This week’s episode of
The Walking Deadmay have been the most consequential episode of the series in nine years. Rick Grimes
exited the series;
as we predicted, Rick didn’t die, he only left for
feature-film spin-offs (although, that wasn’t the ending they
originally had in mind); we got a clue as to
Heath’s whereabouts; and we got a huge time jump that
introduced an older Judith Grimes, Magna and her group.
So much happened during the episode and after it that another major
The Walking Deadstory got buried in all the excitement. Last night’s episode was also officially Lauren Cohan’s last episode, too (at least for now). When
The Walking Dead returns next week, seven years into the future, Maggie Rhee will no longer be on the show (or running The Hilltop).
“That’s the last of her for this season,” showrunner Angela Kang told
The Hollywood Reporter, while AMC programming president David Madden confirmed the news: “I would hope it’s not the last you’ll see of her for the show, but she is not in any immediately forthcoming episodes.”
