Is Maggie Dead?

Is Maggie Dead?

So, one of the questions on many people's minds after last night's episode of The Walking Dead - is Maggie dead? 

Father Gabriel and Rick certainly claimed this was the case to Negan as he was touring Alexandria.

Well, in short... no. She's not dead.

Thankfully father Gabriel once again redeemed himself with some quick thinking when he overheard Negan asking Rick where Maggie was, as he wanted to pay her a visit. "Would you like to pay your respects?" asked father G, to which Negan looked shocked.

"She's dead!?"

A quick visit to some mock graves that Gabriel prepared convinces Negan that this is the case. He even admitted that he didn't want this to happen, basically saying that Glenn did have to die because of Daryl, but Maggie certainly never. God only knows what sort of things Negan wanted to do to Maggie - the worrying thing is what will he do when he finds out that she is, in fact, alive, and that Rick lied to him?

Gabriel's words with Rick echoed through me during this episode "Was nice digging a grave I knew would stay empty" - This is something our group wishes was true more often than it's not.

This leaves the question - where is Maggie?

According to the preview for next weeks episode of The Walking Dead, she's at The Hilltop. This is also what happens in the comic as Maggie goes on the path to becoming the leader of The Hilltop community.
