The Walking Dead season 11 episode 16, titled “Acts of God”, was the midseason finale of the final season of the hit zombie drama. The episode delivered a tense showdown between Maggie and Hornsby, the ruthless leader of the Commonwealth, who hired Leah to kill Maggie and take over Hilltop. Meanwhile, Daryl and his group faced a swarm of locusts and a horde of walkers as they tried to escape from Hornsby’s soldiers. The episode ended with a rain of fire and a change of the guard, as Eugene’s group finally met Pamela Milton, the governor of the Commonwealth.

Here are some of the highlights and key moments from the episode:

• Maggie set a trap for Hornsby and his men at Hilltop, using explosives and gasoline to create a ring of fire around them. She also left Hershel with Negan, who promised to protect him and earned Maggie’s trust.
• Leah confronted Maggie and blamed her for killing her family at Meridian. The two women fought fiercely, until Daryl arrived and shot Leah in the head, saving Maggie. Daryl showed no remorse for killing his former lover, as he and Maggie escaped from the burning Hilltop.
• Eugene’s group was taken to a processing center by Mercer, where they had to answer questions and undergo tests to prove their worthiness for joining the Commonwealth. They also met Stephanie, Eugene’s radio friend, who revealed that she lied about her name and location to protect herself.
• Daryl’s group encountered a massive swarm of locusts that blocked their way and attracted walkers. They managed to fight their way through, but lost Frost, who was bitten by a walker. They also ran into Princess, who helped them hide from the Commonwealth soldiers.
• The episode ended with Eugene’s group being escorted to a stadium, where they were greeted by thousands of cheering people and a marching band. They finally met Pamela Milton, the governor of the Commonwealth, who welcomed them with open arms. However, she also seemed to have a sinister agenda, as she asked Eugene to spy on his friends for her.

The Walking Dead season 11 episode 16 was a thrilling and explosive finale that set up the stage for the final eight episodes of the series. The episode also left some questions unanswered, such as what happened to Lance, who was last seen at Hilltop surrounded by fire and walkers; what will happen to Daryl’s group now that they are on the run from the Commonwealth; and what is Pamela Milton’s true plan for Eugene and his friends.

The last eight episodes will wrap up the stories of the beloved characters and their struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies and hostile humans. The fans can expect a lot of action, drama, emotion, and surprises as the show reaches its conclusion.
