The Walking Dead S08 Episode 10: Negan Reminds Simon, "Just One"
With Carl (Chandler Riggs) having shuffled off this mortal coil, the final endgame between Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) Saviors and Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) coalition, all roads lead to Maggie's (Lauren Cohan) Hilltop for "The Last Stand." In a clip from this week's episode of AMC's The Walking Dead ('The Lost and the Plunderers'), Negan "reminds" Simon (Steven Ogg) that Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) and the Scavengers are still a resource and that he's expecting Simon to take "only" one sacrifice for their deceit – but Simon has other ideas:
The Walking Dead Episode 8×10 'The Lost and the Plunderers': Groups unite their forces and converge on the Hilltop; Aaron and Enid search for allies; Simon takes matters into his own hands.

All out war has had a devastating impact on every person involved. The communities themselves are fractured. Alexandria has been destroyed, the Hilltop finds themselves pinned, and the Kingdom is shattered — half of them dead, the other half controlled by the Saviors.
At the very center — Rick, having been distracted by the conflict, has just returned home to learn that Carl, who heroically shepherded the Alexandrians to safety during Negan's attack, has been bitten by a walker. Once his sole motivation in this otherwise stark existence, Rick is forced to deal with this reality. Carl has always been a beacon of hope, a symbol for the remaining thread of humanity — lessons that the survivors around him would be wise to take with them as this war surges onward.
But Rick isn't the only person who's living in peril. Aaron and Enid are in a dire situation at Oceanside — unclear if they're in friendly territory, or if they've just made new enemies. Father Gabriel will do his part in attempting to smuggle Dr. Carson safely back to the Hilltop and a pregnant Maggie is wrestling with the many moral gray areas that come with leadership during war. In a standoff with the Saviors, she must decide how to proceed with the dozens of POW lives she's currently in control of, as well as new complications that come with being a leader.
In addition to the war, Negan continues to deal with struggles within his ranks as workers, traitors, and others' thirst for power cause conflict at the Sanctuary. Having gifted the Saviors a major victory, Eugene's loyalty is repeatedly tested as new obstacles present themselves.
As all-out-war consumes us, the line between good and evil continues to blur. People fighting for what they believe in. Everybody working together for something bigger — to feel safe and have a world worth living in.
