Each chapter since has pulled back the veil on mysteries that have been bubbling to the surface.
Who is John Dorie?
She happens to be the mysterious Naomi, who wandered across Madisons path.

How did the Vultures destroy the Stadium?
That, however, is not really what Im worried about.
Now we have a crucial piece of this puzzle.
Mel had a disagreement with his brother.
They fought, and now Mel is injured and in need of aid.
This girl tricked the group once and in the worst possible way.
Shes not a complete idiot; she keeps him handcuffed.
All this happened off screen, but we understand why this was such a devastating revelation for Mel.
He was never really the evil of the show.
When it did, he wanted to be ready.
When they replenished their supplies, he left.
This was the internal mantra of the Vultures.
They dont kill, they just scavenge after the fact.
Ennis, you could tell, enjoyed the suffering of others far more.
Madison gravitated toward Jake, just as she gravitated towards Mel.
Ennis now has the means to bring about the Stadiums destruction.
So Ennis plans to lure them all into trucks and deposit them on the Stadiums doorstep.
(Recap continues on the next page.)
Ennis walkers are also covered in oil.
Adding to Madisons predicament, Nick and Alicia are out in the thick of it all.
At the behest of the young girl, Alicia and Nick snuck off to get him back.
They spotted Ennis convoy along the way and took a side road back after retrieving Mel.
Now theyre trapped in a car in the middle of the Stadiums parking lot, surrounded by walkers.
The others, meanwhile, were wild for revenge.
There are still a lot of questions.
The hatred is so real that Alicia bazookas Mels vehicle as he attempts to flee the battle.
She then goes back and finishes the job with her makeshift blade.
Also, whats going on there?
Morgan and Naomi cart the dying John and healthy Charlie into the armored tank to head to the Stadium.
Charlie too isnt really a villain.
Why did she then decide to join the Vultures?
You think you know what happened.
After all this, maybe the characters are the ones who dont know what happened.
