The latest episode of AMC's The Walking Dead, "Crossed", featured panic, deception, and a big brawl amongst a group of melted, teeth-clicking walkers. The stage is now set for either a peaceful hostage exchange or a barrel-blasting shootout in next week's mid-season finale, "Coda." We have a look at photos and preview videos that hint at what's to come in the season's eighth episode.

“Season Four of “The Walking Dead” ended with Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate.

Season Five picks up shortly thereafter. What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group’s lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive.

Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them…

After all they’ve seen, all they’ve done, all they’ve sacrificed, lost, and held on to no matter what the cost… Who do they become?”

We have more coverage of The Walking Dead Season 5 on the way. Until then, catch up on our recent coverage links:
