Are we supposed to read this moment as Alpha taking advantage of Negan in an attempt at redemption for the character? No. The two have sex off screen as Alpha leaves her creepy Whisperer mask on her face the entire time. Negan seems a bit unsure of what to make of everything at the moment, but eventually a smirk crosses his face and he goes with the flow. Earlier, he surmised that Gamma (Thora Birch) may not be as loyal to the Whisperers as they believe, something viewers knew to be correct. He's in a very vulnerable position.Īfter he strips down and finds Alpha puzzingly nude, Negan's told the sex is "a crass reward" for a crass man. The Walking Dead returned from its Season 9 midway hiatus last Sunday with Adaptation, an episode that effectively set the stage for the next phase of the series, notably introducing the show’s new villain, Alpha, leader of the stealthy, ultra-aggressive, walker-skin-wearing Whisperers. He's not his super confident, cocky self. Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead Season 9. He's convinced he's living out his final moments. Alpha calls all of the shots and Negan, as a result, is in rare form. The scene on Sunday's episode turns the tables on Negan. Here's a moment where Negan goes too far with Alpha in "TWD" issue No. The Walking Dead actually aired flashbacks for Alpha, previously known as Dee. He delivers unwanted pickup lines and crosses boundaries a few times that are so unwelcome Alpha punches him across the face and Beta steps in to toss him up against a tree to question him about any ulterior motives. When he is with them, he's much more vulgar towards Alpha. Negan doesn't spend many issues with the Whisperers in the comics. In Robert Kirkman's comics, Negan is attracted to Alpha, but the two never have a sexual relationship. She has his number, and he's like, 'Oh, might as well dive in." An important difference from the comics "I think it came from a problem solving point of view, but I think, creatively, it really works for these characters. Let's do this thing,'" said Kang of what to take away from the brief romp in the woods. Kang credits her writer David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick for coming up with setting the scene and getting to the moment quickly instead of drawing it out. "We wanted to show this relationship with them amping up, and we thought, 'Oh hey, wouldn't it be great if they have sex, but how do we get there?'" "I think we had to try and pay tribute to the comic," showrunner Angela Kang told Insider when asked to explain how this scene came about in the writer's room.
