In Negans mind, there was a method to the madness.
He wanted to teach Rick a lesson, so he killed Abraham.
Now the question becomes, how will the people Negan was trying to teach react to those lessons?

Sowhat kind of Rickwill we see now in response to that?
GREG NICOTERO:Hes destroyed.
We expect certain things from our heroes.
Will all the Alexandrians fall in line with that need to be submissive now?
I would think its safe to say that not everybody is on board with Ricks subservience.
And then there is the Daryl wrinkle in all of this.
I have to imagine thatDaryl is going to blame himselffor this.
Yeah, I dont think theres any way around that.
Daryl is the guy that would take a bullet for anybody.
The reason he leapt out of that line was because Negan was bullying Rosita.
He wasnt going to let Negan get away with it in front of anybody.
I think he probably would have rather been the victim himself than have seen anyone else go.
So what does that mean in terms of where his psyche is going forward?
Hes in bad shape.
Hes in really bad shape.
Thats clearly going to have a different effect on her than on anybody else in that regard.
I think Maggie is falling into that, Well of course Im going to fight.
Thats what we do.
That was directed at him.
