Abraham gets the bat…
When the sneak peek was released last week, some were quick to deduct Abraham would be the one who’d get his skull caved in. The angle added up perfectly, and seeing how Abraham’s character had become more layered throughout the entirety of season six, it was likely this flat-topped, foul-mouthed redhead would be the one to go.
Still, when the moment landed, it shocked us all. About fifteen minutes into the episode, the tension leading up to scene in question was surreal. Negan’s “Eeny Meeny Miney Moe” was repeated, which we all remember ever so well from the controversial finale from last season.
When the camera panned over to Abraham, however, our breaths halted. Before his demise, he bid Sasha farewell with his trademark peace gesture, along with a pretty fitting one-liner that made us remember Abraham the way he’s always been. Seeing his long-time friend Eugene sob in disbelief merely spoke to what we were feeling ourselves.
