Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Walking Dead: Dead City episode 5!The Walking Dead: Dead City star Lauren Cohan has opened up about what makes the show's recent Maggie and Negan twist so compelling. At the end of The Walking Dead: Dead City episode 5, it's revealed the show's villain, The Croat, never stole food from the Hilltop alongside Maggie's son Hershel. Instead, The Croat took Hershel so he could get Maggie to lure Negan to Manhattan, where The Croat hoped to capture him. This calls Maggie's attempts to rescue Hershel into question, and hints at a sour future between her and Negan.
