Quick recap

Eighteen months later, the communities are rebuilding a bridge to link up. Maggie, now leading the Hilltop, executes Gregory. Tension over Negan's fate grows. Rick is hurt, blows up the bridge to stop a herd and vanishes. Jadis flies him away in a helicopter, and the group believes he's dead. Six years pass. An older Judith brings Magna's group to Alexandria. Maggie is gone, and Michonne has closed the town off. Henry falls for Lydia, daughter of Alpha, who leads the Whisperers, a group that wears walker skins. They kill Jesus. Alpha murders ten people during the Kingdom's fair and draws a border. In winter, everyone flees to the Hilltop. Negan saves Judith, and an unknown voice calls over the radio.
