The Walking Dead: 4 Theories on Who Is on the Other End of that Walkie Talkie
All we know is it's not Glenn.
Warning: Spoilers for The Walking Dead's latest episode, "Always Accountable," continue below.
1. Rick
Rick was in a pretty bad place at the end of "Thank You" as walkers surrounded the camper, and though he reappeared surrounded by the undead at the end of "Now," we have no idea how he managed to escape that near-death experience and get back to Alexandria. Since the first half of Season 6 hasn't entirely been linear, it could be that this "help" scene happened in between the events of episodes 3 and 5 and that Daryl, Sasha and Abraham head off to offer assistance.
2. Jesus
News broke back in September that Luck actor Tom Payne would be playing popular comics character Jesus, but we still haven't met him on the show. With The Walking Dead introducing new groups of people left and right (hello, Dwight and the Saviors) it could be that this is how the series is bringing Jesus into the fold. Heck, while we're at it, we can strap on our tin foil hats and speculate that maybe Jesus showed up to Glenn's rescue, and so this cry for "help" actually does tie back to that storyline.
3. Spencer or someone at Alexandria
If we don't flash back to find out what happened to Rick between that shot of him in the camper and the show instead just picks back up with him at Alexandria, the storyline could just keep going forward and someone in that compound could be looking for help. Did the wall break, as the end of "Now" teased, and are they overrun by the horde? Considering that Spencer didn't seem to confident in his defender role, he could be the one reaching out on the walkie talkie.
4. One of the Saviors
The two people who stole Daryl's motorcycle and crossbow, Honey and "D" (aka Dwight, according to Reedus), headed off into the distance at the end of "Always Accountable" with the echo of Daryl's you'll-be-sorry sentiment ringing in their ears. It's all but confirmed that these people and the other folks seen in the woods are the Saviors, and they could be either 1. in genuine trouble and trying to contact someone on the walkie talkie or 2. trying to trap Daryl and whoever else he's with because they know they're out there. Either way, The Walking Dead certainly isn't done with that storyline.
