From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

Just two days before The Walking Dead returns for season 7, the big reveal it has been keeping under wraps for so long appears to have leaked.

The *ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS, CAN'T SAY THIS ENOUGH, GARGANTUAN SPOILER* comes from The Spoiling Dead, who are usually right about this sort of thing.

Much like Watchers on the Wall for Game of Thrones, The Spoiling Dead has made a name for itself as the most reputable source for Walking Dead leaks over the past few years - so much so that network AMC recently threatened legal action against the site if it chose to reveal the identity of Negan’s victims.

They posted a mysterious Q&A on Facebook, which doesn't name the interviewee (?!) but claims a huge amount of knowledge.

It names both victims, explains when in the episode the deaths will occur and details some of the aftermath

If you really can't wait until Sunday, keep scrolling and you'll find it below.

Q & A for Episode 7 x 01.

Q: Who gets Lucilled?

A: Abe & then Glenn.

Q: Why does Negan kill the second victim?

A: Daryl [typo, supposed to be Glenn?] gets angry because Negan taunts a crying Rosita. So he tries to get up and go at Negan. Negan has to prove he means what he says.

Q: Does Rick lose a hand?

A: No.

Q: What happens to Rick in the RV?

A: A lot of mind games from Negan. No physical injury to Rick by Negan although Negan does toss him into a small herd of walkers.

Q: Will the deaths be in flashbacks?

A: Kind of.

Q: Do we actually see the bashing? If so, when?

A: Yes. The episode should start just after the bashing occurs. That’s what we see in the sneak peek. About 20 minutes in, we should jump back to just before that and see how it happens. Then we will catch back up to present time.

Q: Does anything happen to Carl?

A: Negan tells Rick he must chop Carl's arm off so that he'll truly realize Negan is in control. Rick eventually becomes resigned to do it but at the last second, Negan stops him. Mind fuck complete.

Q: What happens to Glenn & Abe's bodies?

A: Team family is forced to move the bodies into the truck themselves to be taken away to Hilltop.

Q: What's the deal with the whole "dream sequence” thing?

A: There are a few moments where Rick flashes to a non-existent future where Glenn and Abe are still alive and the entire group, including Maggie & Glenn's baby, are around the dinner table. (As well as a pregnant Sasha with Abe. *sad face*)
