8 Questions We Want Answered When The Walking Dead Returns

1) Who’s The Spy In The Boots?

The most obvious question we want answered when The Walking Dead returns is just who is the mystery figure who’s been spying on our heroes? First they appeared when spying on Rick and Aaron and then were later seen observing the rest of the community at the episode’s end.

Fans have gone into overdrive to deduce who the figure could be. Some think it might be a Whisperer – one of the crazed group of survivors from the comics, who weren’t expected to show up until next season at least. Others think it might be Cindy from Oceanside who is secretly scouting out Alexandria. The most out-there idea is that it might be a surprise return for the Governor – despite his death back in season 4.

Our personal theory is that it’s Dwight. After all, he was nowhere to be seen during Daryl’s escape. What we don’t know is whether he’s scouting them out because he’s thinking of joining them or because he has it in for them. The character is suggested to be an enemy, but there’s a chance (albeit a small one) that they could turn out to be an ally.

All we know is that The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has confirmed their identity will be revealed soon and that the character will be “a big part” of the season’s second half.
