The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 3 gives us a window into Hershel's soul, and actor Logan Kim offered ScreenRant an even deeper exploration of his motivations in a recent interview. While Maggie and her son were reunited at the end of Dead City season 1, the first few episodes of season 2 revealed that they were not in the best place — and furthermore that Hershel was working with the Dama behind his mother's back. Now, thanks to the flashbacks in “Why Did the Mainlanders Cross the River?”, we finally know exactly why.
