Viewers of AMC's "The Walking Dead" Season 7 will see a familiar face when the sixth episode of the zombie apocalypse series hit the airwaves. The synopsis and a video preview of the next episode was released, teasing the return of Tara Chambler (Alanna Masterson) and Heath (Corey Hawkins).
The next episode of "The Walking Dead" Season 7 will center on Tara and Heath, revealing what precisely happened to the two after they depart on a supply run at the 12th episode of Season 6. As the two are on their longest run for supplies, Tara and Heath will reportedly encounter major setbacks on their way.
The sneak peek from next week's "Swear" episode shows Heath losing hope and feels insurmountable guilt about his responsibility as a supply runner. It also shows the two debate their next strategy and their unique ways to fend off roving zombie hordes.
"The Walking Dead" Season 7 could also introduce the show's newest group of villains since the official synopsis for the next episode said that someone will stumble upon a brand new society and this society is unlike anything seen before. With this, many believed the show would finally introduce the Whisperers.
The latter is a mysterious group of survivors who disguise themselves using the skin of a zombie and blend in with them in order to not get noticed. Not much is known about the group aside from the fact that they simply set up camps and claims territory. Whether or not they remain in one region is obscure.
Adding fuel to the fire, series regular Norman Reedus seemingly offered a cryptic hint that another miscreant will surface in Season 7. In an interview with ComicBook.com, the 47-year-old actor said there is a change of power on the show.
"There's different worlds now," he said. "There's different characters. There's a change of power on the show. Negan coming in has flipped our whole script so to speak. We are no longer the Alpha right now. It's a new world. It's a new, dangerous world in a different way now."
"The Walking Dead" Season 7 episode 6 airs on Nov. 27. Check out the preview below:
