Warning: Spoilers for The Walking Dead season 11, episode 16
The Walking Dead has seemingly hinted at the moment where Daryl (Norman Reedus) finally finds out the truth about Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) from Judith (Cailey Fleming). For the time being, Daryl remains oblivious to the fact that Rick is still alive. Even though at least one person knows that he survived, most of the show’s characters are in the dark about what really happened.
Due to her concern that Daryl might leave Alexandria, Judith made a conscious decision not to inform him of the real reason why Michonne (Danai Gurira) left. When Virgil (Kevin Carroll) was brought into the group, it seemed the show was laying the groundwork for everything to be revealed. However, exactly how much Virgil knows about Rick was left ambiguous, allowing the secret to stay buried. The Walking Dead season 11 danced around the reveal in part 1 and avoided it completely in part 2. With the show coming to an end in part 3, it’s likely only a matter of time before someone on the show finally figures it out. With both Virgil and Judith around, the show has two different ways to drop the Rick Grimes bomb on Daryl and the others.
