What would bring the two together? Family, it turns out - Maggie is working with Negan in order to rescue her teenage son, Hershel Rhee (Logan Kim). Hershel had been kidnapped by Mile Jurkovic, AKA "The Croat" (Željko Ivanek), a member of the Burazi, a group of survivors who have taken over Manhattan, the 'Dead City' of the show's title. In return for Negan's assistance, Maggie agrees to give Ginny (Mahina Napoleon), a young girl under Negan's care, a home at The Bricks.
