Warning: Spoilers Ahead

Perhaps it’s because the holidays helped to fill the void, but this Walking Dead hiatus didn’t seem that long this time around. Regardless, I am still super-excited that one of my favorite horror dramas will be returning in just 2 weeks. And, from what we have seen thus far, we have a lot to look forward to in this second half of the season.

The mid-season finale ended with virtually all hope gone. Even though the group had survived the horrors of Terminus, Team Rick still suffered some major losses with the heart-wrenching deaths of Bob Stookey and Beth Greene. On top of this, all hope of a cure in Washington D.C. had been shattered, and the safety and sanctuary that they had worked so hard to build at the prison was also all gone. This group has faced one heartbreak right after another — how much can a person take before he finally breaks?

The title of episode 5.09 is “What Happened and What’s Going On,” and the official synopsis given by AMC is:

“After all the recent trials the group has faced, a slight detour might prove to be the solution they’ve been looking for.”

What “detour” could that be? There have been hints throughout season 5 that Noah is from the comic-book equivalent of the Alexandria Safe Zone, a fortified community that Rick’s group encounters shortly after the fall of the prison in the comic book series. Could the ASZ be what they’re talking about? I truly hope so, because with everything these people have been through recently, they desperately need to find a place where they can rest, regroup and just be a family again.

In the meantime, check out the below sneak peek videos and photos. Nothing really spoilery, but be sure to check back with the site for more updates and news as the premiere date gets closer.
