Dead City Finale: Alliances Shift, Major Deaths Occur

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 finale, 'If History Were a Conflagration,' concludes with Maggie choosing not to kill Negan, breaking a promise made to her son Hershel and leaving their feud unresolved. Negan re-enacts his infamous 'eeny-meeny-miny-moe' lineup, killing Bruegel with methane and Lucille, but is stopped from killing Armstrong by Maggie. Ginny appears to die and then reanimates, adding emotional complexity to Negan's journey. The Dama survives a presumed death, positioning her and Hershel for future storylines. Maggie, Negan, and Armstrong agree to move forward together, signaling a potential new alliance. The finale has received praise for its dramatic character development and nods to the original series.
