The Walking Dead Season 5 Spoilers: Details on Rick's Plan in New Episode 'Forget'

AMC's The Walking Dead returns with a new Season 5 episode entitled "Forget" on Sunday, and it looks like things could get pretty dicey for Rick Grimes and his group, but this time the fault could be in the hands of the survivors' fearless leader.

At the end of the last episode, "Remember," Rick said he and his group could simply take over Alexandria if need be. But could that actually come to pass? Check out what the "Mega Buzz" column at TV Guide has to say:

"On Sunday's episode, while the rest of the group continues to acclimate to their new surroundings, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) recruits a couple of his allies to begin secret meetings to discuss a possible takeover. In fact, the cabal even organizes their first covert mission to put their plans into place.

Unfortunately, the movement might end before it even makes it off the ground. Not only does an Alexandrian catch one of Rick's agents sneaking around, but by the end of the episode, two people -- including the one you would least expect -- have warmed so much to the peaceful way of life that they might not go through with their original plan."

We'll take a guess and say Daryl is the person we'd least expect.

In case you missed it, here's some of our review of the latest episode, "Remember."

One of the concerns about introducing a place like Alexandria into the series is that an oasis like this removes much of the show's essence. The Walking Dead can't be a show about Carl going to school and Rick being a cop. Well, it could, but it wouldn't be very good. These survivors have to be in danger and there has to be some chaos in order for the show to work.

So when Rick and company entered the gates of Alexandria, it was easy to assume that something nefarious had to be happening inside the walls. After encountering the Governor at Woodbury and the cannibals at Terminus, it's understandable that Rick would be suspicious and mistrusting. The viewers, too, should be cautious about this new environment because everything has gone to hell so many times that it's almost impossible to fathom a true victory for these people.

But throughout the hour, we saw the survivors soften and come to accept Alexandria for what it purports to be. By all accounts, this community is an oasis, a safe haven, and a place for these people to truly live rather than to just brutally survive. Alexandria survived throughout the early portions of the apocalypse, and now they have a thriving community. It doesn't seem that anything sinister is happening here.

Sure, there are a couple of bad seeds. Jessie's husband appears to be jealous of Rick (perhaps rightfully so) and not too welcoming toward him. Deanna's son Aidan is a jerk, and she even knows it. But other than that, everything here is on the up and up.

So it was a bit of a shock, then, when Rick declared at the end of the episode that he and his group would simply take Alexandria for themselves if the residents there turned out to be weaklings or if something went sideways. But it now seems that Rick could be the one to destroy the peace here. He's still not completely trusting of anyone other than his group, as evidenced by the gun he hid outside the walls of Alexandria. So if something bad happens here, it wouldn't be surprising if Rick is to blame.

Carol even mentioned that the group needs to "keep up appearances," which indicates that she and/or others in the group are planning something. But now that we've finally arrived at Alexandria, we'll get to see how this all shakes out.
