With the conclusion of this latest episode of The Walking Dead, we’re only one week away from the end of season 8. And with the end of the season comes death and destruction, something which started tonight with the death of Negan’s right-hand man. Simon survived a brush with Lucille earlier in the show, only to be outed as traitorous scum by Dwight later on.
That led to a fist fight showdown with Negan, and unfortunately for Simon, his boss apparently still had enough cat lives left to wipe the floor with him and crush his windpipe. People were shook!

NEGAN JUST KILLED SIMON WITHOUT LUCILLE.

But let’s take things back to the start of the episode. The show opened on a weepy tone with Rick finally reading Carl’s letter and shedding some tears. We were right there with him.

Meanwhile, in the Sanctuary, it looks like Simon is getting pretty comfortable being the new Negan in charge. That job involves scaring the bejeezus out of subordinates, in this case, the odious Gregory.

Now raise your hand if you thought Simon was going to die when Negan asked him to kneel. That shocking moment when he was allowed to live was only surpassed by the revelation that it was Simon who massacred the boys and men of the Oceanside community. We knew the guy was messed up, but that’s on a whole other level.

Meanwhile, Eugene was forcibly removed from his job making bullets for Negan, and if you thought Rosita treated him with contempt before, it’s on a whole new level now. So we actually think it was justified when Eugene went ahead and pulled the ol’ puke escape on her.

That was really nasty. If Eugene will bite a d*ck, he'll throw up on you. He has no shame. He really doesn't want to go back with TF. Screw him! Whatever happens to him happens.#twd#thewalkingdead

We've seen blood and gore and skulls beaten in and walkers biting skin off people's faces, but the grosses thing? Eugene puking on Rosita. #thewalkingdead #TWD

You can’t deny Eugene is a survivor! Or should we call him … Negan?
Oh, and honorable mention to Carl for trying with that letter to Negan.
Welp Carl's letter of peace to Negan didn't work at all #TheWalkingDead pic.twitter.com/aeqw46F8B6
