Warning: There are spoilers ahead for Sunday's episode of "The Walking Dead," "Do Not Send Us Astray."
Maggie led the Hilltop to a bittersweet victory against the Saviors on Sunday's "The Walking Dead."
As Simon and the Saviors infected Maggie's group with tainted weapons, we saw a few familiar faces for the first time in a while. Fans of the comics may have noticed a twist to a big moment from the series. Keep reading to see all of the call backs and references you may have missed.
Simon pulled out an extra piece of attire for the attack on the Hilltop.
You may have been too caught up in the massive fight to notice its significance.
Simon whips out a jacket that looks quite similar to Negan's.
We've seen Simon wear the jacket before, like on the season seven finale seen above, but it seems even more important Simon's wearing it now with Negan missing. Simon has assumed leadership of the Saviors with Negan missing in action. What better way to take over Negan's role than by looking the part?
Bad news for Simon is that Negan's alive. When he returns, it won't be good news for him.
It's not just Negan's clothing that Simon's mirroring.
When the Saviors reach the Hilltop gates, Simon delivers a familiar line of dialogue while throwing some shade to Negan.
"Well, here I was hoping to give that gate a big old wet, sloppy kiss and there she goes playing hard to get," Simon says after Maggie's spike strip in the road derails his plans to crash through the Hilltop gate.
