In the next episode of series 10, Alpha sends her latest recruit - Gamma - to tell the leaders of Alexandria to meet her at the borderline, where the executions took place.
Her request divides the camp, as The Highwaymen want revenge for their loved ones' deaths, while Michonne is keen to get information from Alpha that could secure their safety, especially considering a sea of walkers are making their way towards the safe zone.
