Walking Dead Season 11 Confirms A Gabriel/Reaper Theory
Warning! SPOILERS ahead forThe Walking Dead season 11 episode 9.
The Walking Dead season 11 returns with part 2 of the long-running AMC show's final season, and in its first episode, confirms a theory about Gabriel and a Reaper from season 11 part 1. The final season of The Walking Dead is being aired in three parts and will conclude later this year. From there, the story will continue in spinoffs and movies, keeping The Walking Dead brand very much alive. Some characters are already set to return in these projects, like Carol and Daryl for their spinoff and Rick Grimes in the first movie, but the fate of others like Gabriel is more up in the air.
First introduced in The Walking Dead season 5, Gabriel has changed immensely over his time on the series. He begins as a cowardly priest who carries a lot of guilt (and rightly so) for letting his whole congregation die when he was too frightened to let them shelter inside his church. Across the intervening seasons, Gabriel has transformed into one of The Walking Dead's most formidable characters. No longer distrustful and constantly afraid, he is a member of Alexandria's council and has even entered into a relationship with Rosita. Gabriel is also among the group Maggie leads to Meridian and takes part in their fight with the Reapers. In The Walking Dead season 11 episode 7, Gabriel chooses to spare a Reaper, and at the time, his reason for doing so was a mystery. But now, The Walking Dead has confirmed a theory about why Gabriel didn't kill the Reaper.
