'Walking Dead' season 7 episode 7 synopsis, release date: episode to focus on The Sanctuary, The Saviors and their rules

In the upcoming episode of AMC's TV adaptation of Robert Kirkman's popular comic book series, "The Walking Dead," viewers will get to explore Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and The Saviors' Sanctuary. The 90-minute long episode is going to delve into their territory as well as their rules.

According to TV Guide, in episode 7, which is titled "Sing Me A Song," viewers will be seeing more of The Saviors and their home. In a promo for the episode, Negan was speaking to his gang, saying, "We survive. We provide security. We bring civilization back to this world. Rules are what make it all work. There is always a cost. We are the Saviors."

The synopsis also teased that a bunch of members of Alexandria will be preparing for Negan's next visit; hence, they are going scavenge to stock up on food.

In the trailer released by AMC, it seems like Michonne (Danai Gurira) will be one of the residents who will be going out on a scavenging mission. The character appeared to be alone. The trailer revealed a scene wherein she is walking along the road all by herself, whistling to "The Farmer in the Dell," while two zombies follow her.

On the other hand, she won't be the only one going out of Alexandria. In another trailer for the upcoming episode, it showed Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Aaron (Ross Marquand) outside the walls of their home. On the other hand, it wasn't pretty clear if they were out to scavenge or out for something else. The trailer showed them jumping over a fence that was marked with a note that warned outsiders that trouble lies ahead.

Furthermore, a big confrontation between Carl (Chandler Riggs) and Negan is expected to take place in the episode. To recap, Carl was last seen hitching a ride on a truck that was on its way to The Sanctuary. Eventually, he will be caught by Negan. Instead of bludgeoning Rick's son, Negan will force Carl to remove the bandage on his eye, and will sing him a song. This big comic book scene hasn't been confirmed by the cast or crew of the show.

"The Walking Dead" episode 7 airs on Sunday, Dec. 4, at 9 p.m. EST on AMC.
