5) Is Maggie Hilltop’s New Leader?
Back in episode five, Maggie put her farm girl skills to good use by driving an old tractor into a horde of zombies. Thanks to her actions, and Sasha and Jesus’ help, Hilltop was saved. Naturally, she’s won a lot of support around the colony since then. In the finale, they even sent her some delicious apple pie. Sasha also jokes that Maggie should “run for president” – and it looks like things are heading that way.
In “Hearts Still Beating,” the extent of Maggie’s popularity is shown to irritate Gregory, who warns her not to let it go to her head – a not so friendly reminder that he’s still in charge. Regardless, she shows signs of command when she gets the gates open for Rick and the others when they arrive.
Maggie is certainly a more deserving leader than creepy Gregory. Perhaps significantly, he was also nowhere to be seen in the promo for the upcoming episodes. We wouldn’t be surprised if he was quickly disposed of in the midseason premiere and Maggie assumes the role of the head of Hilltop.
