Warning: this story contains spoilers for Sunday's "A New Deal" episode of The Walking Dead. It's all connected in The Walking Dead Universe, and Lance Hornsby (Josh Hamilton) has connections. After the reveal that the elitist Sebastian Milton (Teo Rapp-Olsson) sent dozens of the Commonwealth's poorer citizens to their deaths to steal cash, Governor Pamela Milton (Laila Robins) cuts a deal with Carol (Melissa McBride) to save her spoiled rotten son. Hornsby takes the fall for the disappeared citizens, Sebastian skates scot-free, and Governor Milton wipes the slate clean with supplies to rebuild the communities colonized by the Commonwealth.
