Did a few clues seal Judith's fate or are they simply some very good misdirection?Jace Downs/AMC
Warning: There are spoilers ahead for season 11, episode 23 of "The Walking Dead," "Family."
Judith gets shot on the series' second-to-last episode.
The penultimate episode of "TWD" took a surprising turn when Judith (Cailey Fleming) was accidentally shot by Governor Milton (Laila Robins).
As her life hangs in the balance, the show may have offered a few clues about the character's fate ahead of its series finale.
Music cues and some ominous dialogue hint that Judith won't survive the show, but perhaps they're all very good misdirection to keep viewers on their toes. After all, Judith's death would be shocking. Not only has Rick's daughter been a symbol of hope for the survivors since her birth on season three, but her (currently missing) parents are returning next year in a spin-off of their own, offering an opportunity for a huge Grimes family reunion.
Keep reading to see a few moments you may have overlooked on Sunday's episode that could be hinting at Judith's death.
