Viewers see as if an episode from "TWD" Season 6 offered a hint on who gets bludgeoned to death in the previous finale.
According to USA Today, although it is impossible to get the cast and crew of "The Walking Dead" Season 7 to unveil the identity of Negan's victim, some fans believe that there was a clue on who would get killed in "TWD" Season 6 episode 5. It was interesting to have "Now" as the second episode after Glenn's presumed death in "Thank You" episode. The episode showed a desperate Maggie trying to run out of Alexandria to find her husband who was nowhere to be seen.
In "The Walking Dead" Season 6 episode 5, Aaron discovers that Maggie is thinking of looking for Glenn and decides to go with her. When Maggie realizes that sneaking out of Alexandria is not a noble idea, she admits to Aaron that she is expecting a baby. By the end of "Now," the duo go up to the wall where the names of the dead have been displayed, and erased the name of Negan's possible victim in "The Walking Dead" Season 7.
The hint was not the name that was removed from the wall in "TWD" Season 6 episode 5, but Aaron's words to Maggie as they were removing Nicholas and Glenn's names. Aaron proposed his name or the feminine alternative "Erin" for the unborn baby. Some viewers are now wondering if Maggie will name her child after Aaron instead of Hershel, as a result of his comment that seemed out of place in the episode, Independent reported.
In the official synopsis for the first half of "The Walking Dead" Season 7, the group is seen as fractured, bereaved, broken and picking up the pieces while living under the thumb of oppression. In addition, Negan will have manage to brought the survivors under his will, brutally convincing them to live under his rules with a deadly and horrific example of what happens if they do not.
"The Walking Dead" Season 7 will premiere on Oct. 23.
