Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Dead City premiered this week, picking up after the events of season 2 where Maggie stabbed Negan and Hershel appeared to betray his family. The premiere, titled "Crisis Point," opens with wanted posters for Maggie and Negan and a bomb being planted on a methane tank in Manhattan.
According to TVLine's recap, Maggie is seen digging a grave for Ginny in Central Park when Negan confronts her about the stabbing. She offers him a chance to stab her in return, but they are interrupted by Renata and Luis, who kidnap them, mistaking Negan for the Croat's right-hand man. The episode also features a flashback four months earlier showing Renata and Luis at a baby shower, explaining their motives.

The premiere sets up new conflicts, with the Croat blowing up methane tanks and a walker swarm threatening the characters. Entertainment Weekly highlights Lauren Cohan's reaction to Maggie finally smiling at Negan, signaling a shift in their relationship.
