The 20 biggest questions we have after 'The Walking Dead' season 8 finale

In the comics, Dwight famously takes over as leader of the Saviors after Negan gets captured. But on the show, he has lost the respect of his fellow Saviors. Without Dwight and Simon, Negan's top men are all but gone.

Maybe one of the women — Arat or Laura, who ratted Dwight out — will take charge.

Rick notes that there's a giant herd of the undead in the distance. Some think that may be a hint at the show's next villains, the Whisperers, a group of people who wear the skin of the undead.

Daryl showed Dwight mercy by letting him go and giving him the keys to a truck to find his ex-wife, Sherry. Daryl probably felt it was the right thing to do since Sherry helped him escape the Sanctuary.

That doesn't mean the two are best buds, though. Daryl said if Dwight ever shows his face again, he's as good as dead.

Dwight found a note from Sherry near the finale's end with the word, "Honeymoon," and an infinity symbol. Is that a hint at Sherry's location and where Dwight will go to find his lady love?

Don't expect to see Sherry just yet, though. Actress Christine Evangelista has been starring on E!'s "The Arrangement." Whether or not Evangelista returns at all on season nine, it looks like "The Walking Dead" is definitely leaving that option on the table.

It's not clear whether or not Maggie and everyone else thought Daryl was letting Dwight go. Tara wanted to see Dwight dead for a while.

The bond between Jerry and Ezekiel is great, but did the show really need to give Jerry three uses of the word "sh--" in a row at the episode's start?

"This isn't the last of sh--. I'm not accepting sh--," he tells Ezekiel. "We're not losing sh--."

The show could have easily given profanities to Rick or Negan to use during their final war-ending battle. Negan, not Jerry, is the one with a proclivity for cursing.

Maggie briefly mentions she locked him up inside the house at the Hilltop.

Are we to believe the mischievious double-crosser is really being a good prisoner? Even if he is, will that stay true for long?

Sure, Negan fired off a few shots, but I guess we're supposed to believe none of the Saviors attempted trying out their guns until they arrived to fight off Rick.

When Gabriel tried running away from Negan, his eyesight was still heavily affected from his infection.

Dr. Carson said if he kept straining himself he could cause permanent damage. Now that he's back at Alexandria and has a doctor at his disposal, maybe he'll get the treatment and medication he actually needs.

Are these here by chance or did someone hang them there recently? If they belong to a survivor of the zombie apocalypse, they won't be happy Rick shot a hole through one of them.

Rick slit his throat pretty badly.

Is Rick going to hang Lucille over his mantle? Maybe he should give it to Maggie as a symbolic gesture. Actually, maybe it's too early for that.

At the finale's end, Maggie was severely unhappy with Rick and Michonne for allowing Negan to live after killing her husband, Glenn. She started plotting with Jesus and Daryl about how to handle them.

"Rick was wrong to do what he did. Michonne, too," Maggie says. "So we're going to bite our tongue, wait for our moment, and then we're gonna show him."

Of course, if Maggie is going to take any sort of action against Rick, the show needs the actress to officially return to the show.

In the comics, a man named Dante slowly, but surely, starts to win over Maggie's affections at the Hilltop. It takes a long time, but he's the first man she can see herself with after Glenn.

He may not be named Dante, but Alden seems to fit Dante's character description so far.

A full season has come and gone of "The Walking Dead" and we're no closer to solving the mystery of the helicopter. We do know there's a helipad in the back of the junkyard and that it appears to fly over it frequently. 

"This seems to be some other situation out there. Is it an extension of the Heapster community? Is it another community? Is it a single person? Is it a group? I don't wanna give too much away," Pollyanna McIntosh told INSIDER.

When Morgan introduces himself to Jadis at the junkyard, she tells him he can call her Anne.

What else don't we know about "Anne" and will she go live with Rick at Alexandria or fly off in her helicopter? She tells Morgan she's going to pack her things and go.

They wound up joining the fight to help end the Saviors at the last minute. Are they going to retreat back to their hidden community or will we see more of them in one of the other established communities? There should be plenty of room at the Kingdom.

Will Georgie be back next season visiting any of the other communities or will it be a long time before she returns? 

And does she know anything about the helicopter?

You can read more on Georgie from our interview with Jayne Atkinson here.

We watched Carl write numerous letters, including one to his girlfriend, Enid, before his death.

However, we never got to hear any of them except for the ones to Negan, Rick, and partially Michonne. Did Carl give specific instructions to hand them all out at later dates? Has everyone just read them on their own?

We know it's only been about 20 days or so since the start of season seven on the show, but can we address Heath's mysterious disappearance? We've gone a season and a half without any word on what happened to him since Tara went on a supply run with him. Tara has seemed to forget about her old buddy Heath, and, instead, has been caught in a blind rage during the war.

Maybe the Oceanside women know something. Maybe Heath found Georgie. For all we know, Heath is with those people manning the helicopter.

Former showrunner Scott M. Gimple has teased that we haven't seen the last of Heath, so here's to seeing him promptly on season nine.
