Walking Dead Theory: Hornsby Will Turn On Pamela Milton & Stage A Coup
Warning: Spoilers for The Walking Dead season 11, episode 12, «The Lucky Ones.»
Lance Hornsby might be Pamela Milton's most trusted deputy in The Commonwealth now, but by the end of The Walking Dead season 11, he might overthrow her. Pamela Milton is, of course, the governor of The Commonwealth, and one of its founders, having initially created the community during the early stages of the outbreak. The Commonwealth has since continued to expand, adding thousands of residents and incorporating additional communities. Milton was in a prime position for accomplishing this feat, as she hailed from a pre-apocalypse political dynasty, with her father once having been quite powerful himself.
Hornsby, on the other hand, didn't come from money, with his father having worked as a chauffeur for the Miltons. To his credit, though, Hornsby was able to parlay his knack for problem-solving, personal charisma, gift of gab, and ability to manipulate situations into a rise through the ranks to the position of Pamela's Deputy Governor, second-in-command of The Commonwealth. Based on his actions on The Walking Dead, it's doubtful Hornsby got that far without his fair share of immoral behavior, but such is sadly life in politics.

As The Walking Dead spends more time with Hornsby, who has sometimes proved an invaluable ally to people like Carol and Eugene, but never without an ulterior motive, it becomes more and more clear that he's a man of great ambition and thirst for power. In fact, there's no way Hornsby is going to remain satisfied for much longer, serving as only Milton's deputy. It's only a matter of time before he seizes an opportunity and stages a coup.
