8 details you may have missed on Sunday's 'The Walking Dead' 11b finale

- Warning: There are spoilers ahead for season 11, episode 16 of "The Walking Dead."
- Insider breaks down some smaller moments and callbacks you may have overlooked.
President William Milton is on Lance's coin.
We were told that Pamela Milton's family came from political royalty. William's Pamela's father. We previously saw a portrait of him on season 11, episode 10, "New Haunts."
Kang confirmed on Twitter that William is based on "TWD" executive producer Tom Luse.
Lance's lucky coin didn't come out of nowhere.
If Lance's dependence on his precious coin seemed out of nowhere, we previously saw the coin on season 11, episode 12 during a conversation with Maggie.
In the episode, Lance revealed the coin was only gold-plated. The takeaway was a suggestion that while the Commonwealth was something shiny on the outside, it may be uglier underneath the surface.
Still, though it was introduced before, Lance was especially reliant on the coin to decide anyone's fate. It just seemed like a story that was shared to tell us something about the Commonwealth.
Lance flips his coin at the episode's end as the Oceanside crew is lined up.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Angela Kang revealed that Lance was "flipping the coin to decide whether they're going to live or die."
Yikes!
That's taking us back to season eight when Simon murdered Jadis' entire group of Scavengers without Negan's knowledge. As you may recall, Negan's Saviors had cruelly wiped out all of Oceanside's men.
Here, Lance would be finishing the job. If Lance murders the Oceanside women (who honestly haven't been adding much to the story for a while), it's probably going to raise all sorts of hell.
Make no mistake, Maggie has not forgiven Negan despite what she said to him on Sunday's episode.
Maggie may have told Negan that she's starting to trust him, but that doesn't mean they're about to become best buds.
On aftershow "Talking Dead," Lauren Cohan made it clear that Maggie hasn't forgiven the man who killed her husband in front of her.
Maggie and Negan will be paired together on next year's "TWD" spinoff, "Isle of the Dead," a show that Cohan teased will be "very scary."
Cohan said that when the show premieres Maggie and Negan "are not friends."
"But there's a lot that is brought up between them by kind of being forced into this specific, particular situation," Cohan said, adding, "We're gonna be in New York City [on] a very important mission."
Lance asks Leah to
Marco's death foreshadows Leah's.
Marco surprisingly gets shot in the back of the head on Sunday's episode.
That's how Leah dies later in the episode when she's shot by Daryl (Norman Reedus).
Showrunner Angela Kang told Insider they considered giving Daryl and Leah a bit of dialogue before her death, but Reedus
Maggie tells Elijah and Lydia: "I'll find you."
As they separate in the forest, Maggie speaks some famous last words.
"I'll find you" is what Maggie's husband, Glenn, said to her as he died on the season seven premiere.
Jules and Luke are not seen in the Oceanside roundup.
We're hoping this isn't a mistake and was done on purpose.
Dan Fogler's Luke has been missing from the series for a bit as he starred in "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore." Fogler has surmised that Luke has been residing at Oceanside.
We're hoping that he and Jules fled Oceanside for help as they saw the Commonwealth soldiers enter.
Leah doesn't kill Maggie right away because she had big plans for her.
If you thought it was silly that Leah tied Maggie up and waited to kill her, Kang says there was a reason for that. She wanted her to suffer the way she did.
"Leah probably would've dragged back Maggie's loved ones and killed them in front of her," Kang told EW. "I think she wanted her to be tormented by having to watch the people she loved die."
Kang added: "Because otherwise she could have just killed her."
As a reminder, Leah blames Maggie for killing her Reaper family. (Of course, Maggie does that because the Reapers were killing her people. The cycle of violence is never-ending.)
