The Walking Dead Season 5 Spoilers: Will Survivors Find Sanctuary in New Episode?

AMC's The Walking Dead returns with an all new Season 5 episode on Sunday, and the survivors seem to be looking for sanctuary given the horribly depressing events that have befallen them in recent days. But will they find it?

The "Spoiler Chat" column at E! Online has some scoop.

"Larissa: I'm still not over the last Walking Dead episode, but thanks for trying to shed some light! What's coming up next?
According to executive producer Gale Anne Hurd, 'They need a goal. And as Michonne said, they need to find a place to rebuild a community. And what a journey that's been for her, the one character who was most a loner of all the people other than maybe Bob to now say, 'We've got to find a place that we can settle down and stop just being on the road.'"

We said something similar in our review of the latest episode, "What Happened and What's Going On."

"The rest of the episode focused on Rick, Michonne, and Glenn and explored how bleak and dire the world has become. They took a trip north on the chance that Noah's family's gated community would have survived, but of course it was nothing but a smoldering heap. Rick and Glenn had all but given up, but Michonne convinced them that it was a smart idea to head to Washington, D.C. anyway even though Eugene was lying about having a cure in the city. She still believes they can have a chance at life, real life, not scrounging like animals in the wilderness.

Anyone who has read the comics knows the survivors are headed for the Alexandria Safe Zone. Of course, the show will likely remix this story and location in some way, just as it has done for the last four-and-a-half seasons."
