Complete story — includes the ending

Eighteen months after Negan's defeat, the communities are working on rebuilding society. The Sanctuary suffers from infertile ground and underlying support for Negan. Rick leads a trek to a Washington, D.C. museum to recover pioneering supplies; on the way back, they find the main bridge to Hilltop has been broken by a storm, forcing them to detour. A young man, Ken, is killed while protecting the group's horses from walkers. Gregory, ousted as Hilltop's leader, convinces Ken's father, Earl, to try to assassinate Maggie but he fails. Rick and Michonne ask Maggie for Hilltop's help in providing for the Sanctuary but she refuses. That evening, Maggie has Gregory publicly executed for his actions.
