Q&A episode 10.22 “Here’s Negan”

1. How does the episode begin?

Maggie and Hershel are out for a walk, they pass by Negan who is working. Maggie and Negan exchange stares. Then Negan and Carol go outside, and he talks to her about her putting in a good word for him. Meanwhile, they arrive at a cabin, and it turns out that the council has decided to banish Negan, so Daryl and Carol moved all of his stuff to the said cabin.

2. How does Negan find buried Lucille? Did someone tell him where it was? What does he do once he digs it up?

I'm not sure, he gets some sort of divine inspiration and decides that it must be buried at the throat-slitting site. He ends up holding it at the cabin, by the fire, while apologizing to actual Lucille about a bunch of things, then he burns it.

3. Are Daryl and Carol still fighting? What are their interactions like?

We don't see anything about this.

4. Do Maggie and Negan interact?

Just some intense staring.

5. Is Negan at Leah’s cabin? Why?

I'm not sure what the place is. Maybe the one he lead Alpha to? The one where Lydia was? I couldn't tell. Q1 for why.

6. Why does it look like Negan is hooked up to an IV?

When Lucille's cancer medication thaws because they get high and fall asleep with the generator turned of, Negan feels he should go out and look for a group of doctors he had heard about. Six weeks later, he finds them, but he's in too bad of a shape to overpower anyone, he's overpowered. It's a doctor and her daughter, and they help Negan by giving him an IV, a plate of food and all the medication Lucille needs.

7. Why is Negan tied up? How does he make it out of that situation?

This isn't actually shown, but it's implied that somehow these people captured Negan while he was trying to get back to Lucille with the medication and wanted to know where he got it from. Apparently, he sent them on a wild goose chase, but when he realizes that they are not going to let him go, and he's unable to run so there's a chance he won't make it back to Lucille on time, he tells them where the doctor and his daughter is. Once they confirm the information, they let Negan go.

8. Does Negan cheat on Lucille?

Yes, with a Janine, who seems to be an old friend of theirs. He says he broke it off right after the diagnosis, and he didn't know that Lucille knew.

9. What else can you tell us about Negan’s flashback?

He was a high school gym teacher. He beat up some guy in a bar over a fight about the guy being too loud and was fired. He spends time at home playing online video games with kids. He spends 600$ on "some Happy Days bullshit" as his wife calls it, it's the leather jacket. Lucille wants to return it, he says he threw the receipt away.

10. Do we see anyone else in this episode?

No one significant.

11. How does the episode end?

Negan goes back to Alexandria to tell Carol that "the whole situation isn't going to work out", and that he needs her help to get a cart to move his stuff. Carol tells him that if he stays, Maggie is going to kill him. She didn't want his death on her conscience, and now it isn't. The episode ends with Negan walking away.

12. Anything else interesting?

Lucille gives the leather jacket to Negan, saying that she had to keep it because she couldn't return it, and she was so frustrated that she told him she did. She apologizes for making such a big deal over a credit card bill.

After Negan is let go, he comes back to find Lucille dead. He then goes to where the doctor and his daughter is, kills everyone and saves the doctor.

He is shown to be super apprehensive towards killing walkers. Lucille has to shoot one because he couldn't. She tries to convince him that it's not like actual killing. He says he knows, but that he's afraid he'll get used to it.


The truth is out there
