The Walking Dead Repeats Key Season 8 Moment Twice in Same Episode

Attention: Major plot reveals for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 5! The latest episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City has echoed a significant scene from season 8, adding a surprising twist to the spinoff series. In this season, we’ve seen several key survivor groups introduced in and around Manhattan, including the New Babylon Federation, the Burazi, the Foragers in Central Park, the Bruegel-led survivors, Christos’ group, and even the Dama, who are a conglomerate of various Manhattan survivor pockets.

Characters in the series ‘Dead City‘ find themselves entangled in complex feuds during season 2, as the factions of New Babylon and Bruegel are at odds with the Dama, Negan, and the Croat over control of methane resources. Meanwhile, these three groups aim to join forces against external threats. The climax of these power struggles unfolded in season 2, episode 5, as mounting tensions led to shocking outcomes. These events echo a choice from ‘The Walking Dead‘ season 8, with tragic repercussions that will significantly impact the remainder of this zombie spinoff’s episodes.

Dead City Killed Off Two Groups The Same Way The Scavengers Died In The Walking Dead Season 8

Christos’ Group & The Foragers Met A Very Similar Fate

In episode 5 of season 2 in Dead City, the Croat carried out a massacre of Christos’ group’s male members during a meeting Negan was using to discuss an alliance. He spared the women and children, but unfortunately, another group suffered the same fate in this episode. Upon discovering that Negan is still alive from Ginny, Narvaez seized control of the Foragers, brutally killing their leader, Roksana, in front of them. This act of violence led to a tragic outcome as Central Park’s zombies breached the gates of their home, resulting in the death of everyone present.

In this instance, the simultaneous elimination of two groups within a single event bears a striking resemblance to The Walking Dead’s eighth season, episode 10, where Negan’s lieutenant, Simon, annihilated the Scavengers (except for Jadis) in a similar fashion. In that episode, he attempted negotiation with them, but instead, it led to a conflict that ended with the Saviors wiping out everyone at the Heaps. It’s important to note that this wasn’t Simon’s first such act; much like how the Croat wiped out all men from Christos’ group, Simon had previously orchestrated the deaths of all men in Oceanside before the events of season 7.

Simon’s behavior closely mirrors that of the Croat and Narvaez, high-ranking individuals who, being threatened by others, resorted to eliminating entire groups. All three have taken ruthless actions, deciding to eliminate people en masse in an attempt to gain an edge in a major conflict. Simon’s choices led to the destruction of two communities, remarkably similar to events depicted in the spinoff series. This plot point links back to Negan’s initial storyline, while simultaneously delivering a surprising twist within Dead City.

What Christos’ Group & The Foragers Dying Means For Dead City Season 2

The Croat & New Babylon Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin

The actions taken by Christos’ group and Narvaez demonstrate their readiness to take extreme measures to safeguard their methane production, disregarding the potential influence Negan was exerting on the Manhattan leader and the protection offered by the Foragers. This implies that both Maggie’s group and Negan’s may harbor harmful intentions, as they are prepared to inflict harm upon many for the sake of preserving their power.

In a sense, the fate of Christos’ group and the Foragers serves as a reminder of past actions, showing how Simon’s allegiance to the Saviors ultimately resulted in the Scavengers’ demise. This parallel suggests that all three parties hold a common mindset, willing to cause harm to many for their own gain. With Dead City now devoid of its two dominant groups, and Narvaez also deceased, the course of future conflicts depends on New Babylon’s reaction from the mainland and the plans of the Croat and Bruegel moving forward.
