The Walking Dead Season 8: 10 Big Questions We Need Answers To
2. Where Is Heath? And Does Anybody Care?
One of the biggest loose ends from season seven is the mysterious disappearance of Heath, a newly-introduced member of the Alexandria safe zone who made a good first impression before he vanished, because fans of The Walking Dead aren’t allowed nice things.
Heath was on a supply run with Tara in episode six when they got separated. Tara washed ashore at the beach and was offered hospitality at Oceanside (you know, when they weren’t trying to kill her), but the whereabouts of her companion remain unknown.
On her way back to Alexandria, Tara found a card with ‘PPP’ written on it, presumably a clue to Heath’s location, but nothing more was made of this when Tara returned home.
Understandably, Rick’s concentration was focussed elsewhere, but neither Tara, nor anybody else from the community, raised any concern about Heath’s wellbeing. Are we to believe that this likeable chap had not one single ally within the walls of Alexandria?
There must be some acknowledgement of Heath in season eight - even if that is without an appearance from the character himself - because this is too big a plot hole to ignore.
