When The Walking Dead revealed Whisperer Beta (Ryan Hurst) was once famed country music singer Half Moon in Season 10 episode 14, “Look at the Flowers,” it might have also formed a connection with a Season 8 episode set years before Beta and Whisperer leader Alpha (Samantha Morton) menaced the Hilltop. In Season 8 episode 12, “The Key,” Hilltop leader Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Enid (Katelyn Nacon) and Rosita (Christian Serratos) encountered Georgie (Jayne Atkinson), a mysterious travelling benefactor offering the farming colony a “key to the future.” The key was described by Georgie as “a book of medieval human achievement so we may have a future from our past.”

who would imagine that hilltop could have a half moon album, and that maggie probably gave georgie one of the half moon albums without imagining that he would be one of hilltop’s biggest enemies?! 🤯🤯 pic.twitter.com/NEnRP2VIFl
