3. What Role Will Dwight Play?

As had long been telegraphed, what with all the abuses he and his wife suffered and the burning hatred he has of Negan (not to mention it's what happens in the comics, so seemed likely here), Dwight made the turn to the good side ahead of the finale, giving himself to Rick and co because he wants to help kill Negan.

Based on the trailer for the finale, he'll be working undercover to bring Negan down from the inside, which is no easy feat given how loyal to him most of the Saviours are.

Does that mean he's just going to outright try and murder Negan, or will this be a slow-burner, as he gradually sabotages the Saviours' efforts in the war? And of course there's the other option, which is that he's really playing Rick et al, and has been sent there by Negan to earn their trust.
