The Walking Dead Season 8, Episode 8 Preview: "Would We Give up That Quick?"

Even though Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) plans seem to have hit a few bumps in form of Daryl (Norman Reedus), Tara (Alanna Masterson) and Morgan's (Lennie James) really bad decision to accelerate the timetable with an unplanned attack on the Sanctuary, it appears more a matter of "when" than "if" Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the Saviors surrender. As we can see from AMC's sneak preview of this Sunday's midseason finale of The Walking Dead, 'How It's Gotta Be,' Maggie (Lauren Cohan) wants to Jesus (Tom Payne) to be crystal clear on one thing: their surrender isn't going to come easy:

The Walking Dead, Episode 808 ('How It's Gotta Be'): Every story and battle from the first half of the season comes crashing together in this action-packed, emotional Mid-Season finale.

Here is AMC's official synopsis for The Walking Dead Season 8:

"Last year, Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be. The introduction of Negan and the Saviors broke our group.

Feeling powerless under Negan's rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn't be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors.

This year, Rick brings 'All Out War' to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless — but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.

Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it's not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom — Negan and the Saviors' grip on this world may finally be coming to an end."
