We're rolling into the final two episodes of the eighth season of "The Walking Dead." If you watched the preview for next Sunday's episode, you may want to go back and watch it again, slower.

There are a few big reveals centered around a map you may have missed as the scenes flash by quickly. If you don't want to be spoiled, this is your last chance to head back.

Dwight is writing a warning for Rick's group.

He sketches out a map with the locations of Negan's men, so the Hilltop isn't caught off guard. It's not clear how he's going to get away from the Sanctuary undetected to deliver this message.

There's just one problem with Dwight's map: It's missing one of the locations.

When you compare the maps in two different frames of the preview, Negan's has one more circle than Dwight's.

Did Dwight do that on purpose or could he not remember all of the locations? If he doesn't draw that 11th circle, than he could be putting Rick's group at risk.

If you do the math, that's a lot of people Negan still has at his disposal.

Dwight says there will be 11 people at each location on the map. Negan's map shows 11 locations. You're telling me Negan still has at least 121 Saviors at his disposal to go to war? 

How many men did he start with and how many were lost when they were overrun with zombies? Does it even matter at this point?

Dwight may have to watch his back depending on the identity of Negan's hitchhiker.

Near the end of Sunday's episode, Negan finds a mysterious figure on the road and drives them back to the Sanctuary. 

Some think it's Dwight's ex Sherry, but it's more likely that it's Laura. Who's that? She was the only other Savior to make it out of Alexandria alive. She also knows that Dwight betrayed Negan and sold out the Saviors to Rick's group. If Negan found her on the side of the road, it's not just Simon who will be in Negan's crosshairs.

From the start of the preview, it doesn't look too great for Dwight. Negan gives him an ominous greeting.

Gregory is back at the Hilltop behind bars!

You can see him looking disappointed in a brief moment. Though he's eyeing down Maggie, the new Hilltop leader looks like she has enough problems of her own to worry about without Gregory wasting her time.
