For the first time after the life-shattering events of episode 1 of "The Walking Dead" season 7, viewers get to go back to the Hilltop where Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Sasha (Sonequa Martin) have successfully sought refuge. The two women were separated from Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) group after the gruesome deaths of Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) in the hands of their new enemy Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

Episode 5 titled "Go Getters" will elaborate on how Maggie is recovering from her physical condition and how she and Sasha are coping after losing their respective loved ones. As fans may recall, Maggie has been having difficulty with her pregnancy and initially intended to move to Hilltop with her husband and the rest of their group where a doctor is available to treat her.

Unfortunately, they were intercepted by Negan's group known as The Saviors. Their encounter turned out to be very traumatic and life-changing after the tightly knit group lost two of its members.

Meanwhile, the recent trailer of episode 5 shows members of Negan's group pay a visit at the Hilltop and they are seen harassing Gregory (Xander Berkeley) as they intend to collect goods as a part of their service. In another scene, Sasha is seen sharpening a knife looking vindictive and angry.

Also, fans will see Jesus (Tom Payne) once again since the new season started. It would be interesting for viewers to find out his stand after knowing what The Saviors have done to Glenn and Abraham. While Jesus is known to be a very cordial and accommodating man, fans have yet to see how he fares when put under a lot of pressure and threat.

Moreover, Carl (Chandler Riggs) seems to be very disappointed about how his father is handling the situation with Negan and his army. He is expected to encourage Rick and the rest of their group to fight back and not fall victim's to Negan's whims. In episode 4, Rick was seen following Negan's every order, although hesitantly at first, for fear that somebody else will get hurt if he fails to do so.

Actress Danai Gurira talked to Variety about her character in the series and described how things are between Michonne and Rick with Negan's threats in the picture. "Michonne has been garnering a very real reaction to Rick's inertia. It is really a very frustrating disconnect and lack of communication, which they've never had," she said. "It causes her to retreat. She goes back to being a loner and being by herself, figuring out how to handle this in a solo way. Being part of a team has its flaws when you're not on the same page."

"The Walking Dead" season 7 episode 5 will air on Sunday, Nov. 20, 9 p.m. EDT on AMC.
