There were busy eating NIcholas, he got out of there before they even noticed him.

It was pretty clear that he wasn't dead when that the "Thank You" fake-out scene aired.

Hopefully with them introducing Negan, they'll fix that for next season.. As for the rest of this season, looks like things will get back on track again.

I am pretty sure that man was Dwight.

You'll care about those people an places later on. Trust me.
