VERY good questions.

 

I would not be surprised if cause of death was beheading. Henry almost appeared resigned to this fate since he had bore witness to it while being held captive at their camp.

Honestly just the thought that one by one they had to watch something like this transpire and add to that knowing that in minutes the same fate awaits. *CHILLS*

Saying it again, Alpha makes Negan look like a damn Weebelo

 

My sister, who only recently (and begrudgingly) started watching the series, is on the squeamish side when it comes to TV and movies. So much so that she oftentimes will fast forward through the walker kills and other "scary" parts.
*I had no hand in raising her so I cannot be held accountable for the way in which she watches the show*

I sent a text to her on Sunday night and asked Did you go to the Fair tonight?

her reply was: Yes. I hate this show.

She no doubt had a very difficult time processing the pike scene. I imagine the second half of season 9 has been a landmine for her to fast forward navigate LMAO!

 

I now can’t stop thinking about where their bodies are. *cries*

 

Oof I didn’t think of that. Eek. Maybe at the barn.

 

So, why watch at all if she's going to FF through the best parts? Oh well.
As for the original question, we'll probably never know for sure unless Sidiq has a flashback scene. But I think they were overpowered in the barn and probably executed one by one. None had any facial injuries that I could see which would indicate an execution rather than more battle. I also think Sidiq knew what had happened from his reaction to being found and freed. Just my opinion.

 

That part baffles us too. LOL

 

I imagined that once Alpha and the rest of the whisperers arrived the fighting stopped. We saw at least one of the group get taken down before she arrived, but the rest sort of stopped in their tracks when Alpha showed up.

I thought that the lingering shot of Henry seeing Alpha was our cue that he knew what was coming, because he saw it. So I imagine the rest were beheaded while they were alive. Just like the way Alpha beheaded one of her own. I think that's why we even got that specific scene in an earlier episode, so we could see exactly how she did it.

Jeez. Brutal. At least it was a quick death?

 

Probably a mix, depending on how strong they were physically.

Those highwayman guys were probably taken down before being beheaded. They were tough. Some of the others could likely have been overpowered and apprehended.

 

In the comics, Rick (I think it's Rick at least) asks the same question when they get up to the pikes, and Lydia says that they probably used their skins.

 

Ewwwwwwww
